anybody close to Bristol, UK, wants to give a talk on FreeBSD and numerical analysis to UG students?
Introduction: I'll be teaching computer based modelling to year 1 mechanical engineering students. The unit is based around Matlab, which is not ideal, in my opinion, but is beyond my control. The unit is pretty low level - I have to start from loops and conditional statements, but ultimately I want them to be able to tackle numerical solution of algebraic and diff. equations and a bit of graphics. I want to complement Matlab by several lectures giving students a broader view of numerical computing and related subjects. For example, I'll probably talk about vector vs raster graphics and related software, precision of floating point calculations, intro to latex, importance of standards in software, etc. What I'm looking for: I'd like to have one lecture on FreeBSD and what it can do for numerical analysis. I'm looking for somebody who can come to Bristol on a Tuesday between 31-FEB-2012 and 20-MAR-2012 and give a 50 min lecture from 1400 to 1450 to about 120-150 students. The exact details of the talk are not that important. Some of them would've heard of linux, probably not of FreeBSD. Some of them would've used macs, but unlikely any software beyound MS office. The talk can just raise the students' awareness that numerical analysis tools available via FreeBSD ports are an alternative to Matlab. I'll pay the travel expences (have to double check with the finance office) but cannot pay for the talk itself. If you are interested, or have another idea, please get in touch directly.

The test after the malloc was the problem. I have been working in a
poorly designed scripting language for several months where the single
'=' is used for comparisons and didn't "see" the difference when I got
back into C. Setting a pointer to NULL should always cause an EFAULT.
Unfortunately, even 'gcc -Wall' didn't generate an appropriate warning
for it.
I only use malloc when I won't know how many buffers I need until run
time. In this case the application will count records in a configuration
file and malloc (1514 * count * 2) bytes, where count can range from 1
to 2000. That becomes an array of buffers, so I can pass just an index
or pointer between threads, usually through a mailbox or message queue.
It's a simple trick for message passing that I picked up years ago while
using the CTASK and XINU kernels.
Thanks for all the help,
Bob McConnell

/dev/net/tap0 always returns with errno = 19 (ENODEV - Operation not
supported?).
/dev/tap0 returns errno = 14 (EFAULT - bad address). At this point,
'ifconfig' shows that the inet address is no longer attached and

My code so far:

fprintf (stderr, "Failed to open /dev/tap0: %d.\n", tapFD);

Maybe you forgot to include stdlib.h? That could end up with the
compiler adjusting the parameters incorrectly.
Incidentally, this problem is why casting the return value of malloc
is discouraged; the compiler would warn about such a problem if the
(completely unnecessary) cast were not present.
int lenth = 0;
again:
lenth = read(tapFD, buffer, 1514);
if (lenth < 0) {
int error = errno;
if (error == EINTR)
goto again;
fprintf (stderr, "tap read error: %d\n", error);
}
else {
int index;
fprintf (stdout, "%d bytes received.\n", lenth);
for (index = 0; index < lenth; ++index) {
fprintf (stdout, " %02x", buffer[index]);
if (index % 16 == 15)
fprintf (stdout, "\n");
}
fprintf (stdout, "\n");

Re: Unable to talk to tap(4)
unsigned char * buffer = (unsigned char*)malloc(1514);
is stdlib.h included (i'm asking for sure)?
if (buffer = NULL) {
if (buffer == NULL) {
fprintf (stderr, "No memory available.\n");
close (tapFD);
exit(3);
}
When I replace the malloc with an automatic array, the
error goes away and I get the data I am looking for. i.e.:
unsigned char buffer[1514];
So why can't I use malloc to create that buffer?
anyway not using malloc is good habit :) but it should work anyway.
try
buffer[0]=buffer[1513]=0;
to make sure page is actually allocated.
if this help - maybe tap driver is buggy.

Unable to talk to tap(4)
Good morning,
Does anyone here have experience using tap(4)? I am trying to do some
basic I/O with it, but am not having any success. I have gotten to the
point where I can create and configure the device, and my application
can open it, but read() always returns errors.
The basic setup sequence is:
ifconfig tap0 create
ifconfig tap0 inet 10.3.4.254/24
route -v add 10.3.4.0/24 10.3.4.254
At this point, I can ping that address and my application can open
either /dev/net/tap0 or /dev/tap0. But when I try to read() from those
devices, I have problems.
/dev/net/tap0 always returns with errno = 19 (ENODEV - Operation not
supported?).
/dev/tap0 returns errno = 14 (EFAULT - bad address). At this point,
'ifconfig' shows that the inet address is no longer attached and
'netstat -rn' shows the route I added above has been dropped.
I have been searching for several days to find more information about
this device, but have not found anything specific to FreeBSD. All of the
examples and instructions are for Linux or tun(4), both of which are
significantly different devices.
My code so far:
- tear along dotted line -
tapFD = open ("/dev/tap0", O_RDWR);
if (tapFD < 0) {
fprintf (stderr, "Failed to open /dev/tap0: %d.\n", tapFD);
exit (2);
}
fprintf (stderr, "Successfully opened /dev/tap0.\n");
unsigned char * buffer = (unsigned char*)malloc(1514);
if (buffer = NULL) {
fprintf (stderr, "No memory available.\n");
close (tapFD);
exit(3);
}
int lenth = 0;
again:
lenth = read(tapFD, buffer, 1514);
if (lenth < 0) {
int error = errno;

Just in the interest of full disclosure, I am running a stock
installation of FreeBSD 7.0 in a VMWare 5.5.4 session on WinXP. There
are also two virtual Ethernet cards, one connected to a host only
subnet, the other bridged onto a real Ethernet segment. I am using IPFW
with DummyNet to inject some measure of reality into this system.
This is the beginnings of a test bench for several commercial
applications. My goal, once I get this device working, is to write an
application for tap(4) that will emulate a few hundred embedded devices,
each opening a socket directly to a server, which currently resides in
another VM session on the host only network. This setup, coupled with
real devices on the external network should give us a much more
realistic environment for stress testing our systems.

If the firewall opens a path for the external server inbound as a result of supporting active-mode FTP or the data channel for IRC, which most firewalls do by default if they permit FTP through in the first place, that can be used to send arbitrary data back to the client.

Google Talk and NAT issue ?
Hi, all. These days I am bothered by a problem. Since I am now surfing the Internet through NAT, I cannot use kopete (an IM client for KDE) to connect google talk server any more. While at the same time I still can use Google Talk client under Windows to connect to the server, without any additional configuration. Could anyone please explain this to me? Why can I use Google Talk client straightly but not kopete? What kind of new technology Google use to overcome a NAT issue? Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks for this info. The handbook chapter on BIOS (see below) doesn't mention "USB" but it says the machine can boot from "Removable Devices" so it sounds like your first suggestion about booting from removable drives would work. It also says something about PXE so it looks like your second suggestion would also work.

While I don't know the specfic equipment in your question, the general response is that it is the BIOS that determines 'bootability' i.e. whether a device can be used as a boot device. Check the BIOS setting first, there may be a setting for booting from USB. If not, try 'removable drives' if it is shown. If that fails, you might be able to boot from a network device using PXE booting. Check the handbook (and your BIOS documentation) regarding PXE boot support. If all that fails, try removing the hard disk and placing it in another compatible system which has a bootable CD ROM. And if *that* fails, post again.

KDE works fine on the internet through my WRT54G router, but Apache gives this config error: [alert] (EAI 8)hostname nor servname provided, or not known: mod_unique_id: unable to find IPv4 address of ".comcast.net" Configuration Failed = I'm using ddclient to sync www.zonedit.com for dynamic DNS using my Comcast cable internet connection. I want to use virtual hosts to host several websites, but can't even get the basic config to work. Here is my rc.conf: = hostname="www.torva.com" ifconfig_bge0="inet 192.168.1.40 netmask 255.255.255.0" defaultrouter="192.168.1.1" == Here are the relevant lines in httpd.conf the Apache config file: === Listen 192.168.1.40:80 User www Group www ServerName www.torva.com:80 UseCanonicalName Off DocumentRoot "/usr/local/www/data" What's wrong?

Have avoided that so far b/c I wanted to be able to do that from
FreeBSD, e.g. with tftp...

Have thought about that too, especially since trying to
tcpdump dc2 with the Windows box connected to the Linksys
resulted in nothing (the "inside" part of the Linksys is
a switch).

Yup, cables & interfaces are all good; 1st thing I checked.

Re: (revised) 4.0-stable & Linksys WRT54G won't talk w/each other
Hey, Apparently the WRT54G is having some arp issues. I'd check the following: - install latest firmware - install Ethereal on the windows machine and watch the traffic exchange when you would ping/access the WRT54G. It is important that this is done right after boot so that the Windows machine does not have the MAC of WRT54G cached. It'd be interesting to compare the arp requests from the FreeBSD machine to ones from the Win2k one, if that seems at all different. - Finally, I assumed that the cable that you are using to connect the freebsd box to WRT54G is just as good as the one you use with the Windows machine. -Anthony On Fri, 9 Jan 2004, Kenneth W Cochran wrote: > Hello: > > I'm having problems getting a FreeBSD machine and a Linksys > WRT54G talking with each other. > > Interfaces: > dc0 - "public" to outside Internet > dc1 - internal 192.168.0.1/24, connects to a hub > dc2 - internal 192.168.1.100/24, connects to a switched LAN port on the router > dc3 - currently unused > > OS: FreeBSD 4.9-STABLE as of 10 December 2003 > firewall: ipfw2 > Running natd between dc0 & dc1 (& that works fine) > > dc0 gets its IP address, etc., via DHCP/dhclient. > dc1 is configured statically & machines connected on that subnet work fine. > dc2 should get its ip address, etc. from a Linksys WRT54G, > but won't; syslog says "address in use," so I configured it "manually" > with ifconfig, to 192.168.1.100/24. > > Problems/questions: > > dc2 has a Linksys WRT54G on it, & thus far, that box refuses > to talk (not even icmp) with the fbsd machine, even if I set > its ip-address & that of dc2 manually.

Problems/questions: dc2 has a Linksys WRT54G on it, & thus far, that box refuses to talk (not even icmp) with the fbsd machine, even if I set its ip-address & that of dc2 manually. (The Linksys defaults to running a dhcp server & its factory-supplied ip-address is 192.168.1.1 & it "tries" to setup the first interface talking to it to be 192.168.1.100). The router works fine when connecting another machine (running Windows 2000) to it.

Talk Filters and Gaim...
hello all, just wondering if any of you has had luck getting the talkfilters port integrated with gaim? i tried applying the patches included with the talkfilters port, but no dice. i suspect that this failure has much to do with the difference between the version of gaim for which the patches were written and the version of gaim i am running (0.74). excerpt of talkfilters gaim-patch README: This patch is provided for interested hackers only, not for end users. Familiarity with UNIX and C development is assumed. Please DO NOT email me if you need help appying this patch. This directory structure contains a skeleton of the gaim-0.59.8 source tree. well, i'm not familiar with UNIX or C development (and i'm definitely not e-mailing the author of talkfilters... heheh), so i turn to you, the other users. i would really appreciate it if one of you could point me in the right direction. thanks. cheers, epi ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Take a look at the tty(4) manpage; you should be able to open
/dev/cuaa0 (aka COM1), then use the TIOCMGET and TIOCMSET ioctls to get
and set the appropriate status bits, all from userland. The
comms/sredird port uses this to provide remote virtual serial ports
with perfect control.

Re: how to talk to the serial and parallel ports through a C
I'll reply on the parallel port:
fd_relay=open("/dev/ppi0", O_WRONLY);
ioctl(fd_relay, PPISDATA, value)
Value being an 8 bits value.
That works wonders with the relay card from Quality Kits

Not sure, but i'm using the serial port only to read and write
electrical values, to command power relays. On mickey systems, serial
drivers are far to complicated for that.
Did anybody write a simple kernel module doing just that ?

#include
#define porta 0x378
#define portb 0x379
const char *filename;
int main(void) {
int fd, data;

fd = open(filename, O_RDWR);
if (fd < 0)
{
printf("Erreur d'accès à %s\n", filename);
exit(1);
}
outb(porta, 0xFF);
sleep(1);
outb(porta, 0x00);
sleep(1);
data = (inb(portb));
printf("data = %x\n", data);
close(fd);

Re: Making MACs and Windows talk
User, There are many different application that can be used to do this, however the first question I would have would be "what are you wanting to do?" Although this may sound a little redundant at this point, the reason I ask is that if you're talking about networking Mac's to a WindowsNT/2K Server, then you're done. By using Mac file sharing on the server, mission accomplished. Now if you're talking about having the Mac act like a PC, maybe run Windows as an OS, I recommend Connectix Virtual PC, which allows you to install all of the Windows OS, Linux, to name a few on the Mac running in a Virtual Machine. Natively, the newer Mac all speak TCP/IP, so networking is already there. File Sharing may be a little trickier if you're using a "Peer-to-Peer" style of network, however, it can be done.

Can you install netatalk so the macs can talk to a the FreeBSD machine and install samba so the windows people can talk to the same FreeBSD box?
