There was a bug in realhostname_sa() in lib/libutil and
sometime daemon using it dies, such as telnetd.

I think following patch will fix it, but now checking make
world before actually committing it.

If anyone experienced same problem, please try following

IMNSO sed is the wrong tool here, awk can deal with the
password file much easier than sed and should handle just
about any input just so long as it doesn't add any :'s to the
lines that we are trying to mungle the password out of:

BEGIN {FS=":"; OFS=":"; ORS=""}

//  {if (NF==10) {
print $1,"(password):"
for (n = 3; n =NF; n++) print $n,"";
} else
print $0;
print "\n";

Defantily works on diff, diff -u and diff -c.

No arguments from me, since my awk skills are limited.  However, I'll
point out that sed is doing a decent job without turning into an
invocation mess.  The awk program you sent is much longer.  Oh, and it
produces absolutely no output whatsoever over here.  :-)

ASDM and linux emulation?

2000-01-27 Thread F. Heinrichmeyer

I would like to use an ASDM (backup software) with linux-emulation. I
get
the following in /var/log/messages:

es-i2 /kernel: linux: syscall setresuid is obsoleted\
 or not implemented (pid=41052)
Jan 27 13:12:42 es-i2 /kernel: pid 41052 (dsm), \
uid 0: exited on signal 11 (core dumped)

as netscape and acroread work quite good i think the core dump is
related
to the former failure.

What is the problem with this syscall? This can be a show stopper for 
the server box ... I hate all this silly problems with mandrake-linux
etc.

No, it's a hard link.  I only mention this because your explanation
makes it sound like mailwrapper generates much more overhead than it
really does:

 In CURRENT, the command 'sendmail' runs the mailwrapper program which,
 in turn, runs the correct ones according to /etc/mail/mailer.conf (there's
 an exemple in 'man mailer.conf').

Anyway, this guy's problem is just the location of mailer.conf, which
you got right, so he should be fine. :-)

ep0 incorrectly probed

2000-01-27 Thread Edwin Mons

I downloaded the 2000/01/25 snapshot of current today.  When I booted
from floppy, this message showed up:

ep0: eeprom failed to come ready
(5 times)

and a NIC address of 0:0:0:0:0:0 was reported back.  When booting this
machine with 3.4-RELEASE, the correct NIC address is reported.  When
ifconfiging the interface, the machine hangs.  The kernel knows the
right ioport/irq, and works correctly with both 3.4-RELEASE and Windows
95.
I didn't install CURRENT on it, since I wanted to install it by FTP...

Quick info of the machine:

Pentium 100
P/I-P55SP4 rev 1.4 motherboard (SiS550x chipset)
32 MB RAM
3COM 509 ISA ethernet card (BNC)
Hercules Stingray 64 video

Using the boot configuration screen can you disable all devices that are

and the setup continues as if nothing has happened.  The drive is
configured as PIO mode 4 in the BIOS (the BIOS does not support UDMA,
the chipset apparently does).  Any pointers?

Re: My ATAPI CD not come ready

2000-01-27 Thread Mike Smith


JFWIW, this sounds like something that I "fixed" in the old wd driver, 
where a device 'echoed' on the bus after it was deselected.  Increasing 
the timeout between deselecting the device and trying to talk again to 
the bus was, AFAIR, the workaround then.

Problems installing FreeBSD 4.0 20000125-CURRENT

2000-01-27 Thread Bill Fenner


Hi,

  I installed 4.0 2125-CURRENT last night on a new box, and had
several problems that I wanted to share:

1. sysinstall forgot to write my hostname to /etc/rc.conf .  I had gone
into the options menu and selected "DHCP"; when I picked my network
interface it looked for and found a DHCP server and popped up the
network configuration box with most of the fields filled in (including
domain name); all I did was type in a hostname.  sysinstall then added
the domain name to the host name and I said "OK", but that hostname
never made it into rc.conf (it booted up calling itself Amnesiac).

2. motd was full of garbage.  I realize now that I should have saved it
but I wasn't really thinking.

3. On the first reboot after installing, the keyboard was in a funny
state.  Some keys would provide multiple characters, some would do none.
Control-alt-del definitely didn't work, so I had to power off and
reboot.  This hasn't repeated itself.

4. X didn't come with /usr/X11R6/lib/aout, so I can't run netscape.
I used the expert install and picked the "Install everything" option
so I assumed I'd get everything =)


On the plus side, being able to use DHCP rocks, and I really like how
it installed the Linux packages when I picked Linux emulation.  And
4.0 seems to work well with this random hardware (emachine 400),
including the onboard sound and random ethernet card (linksys something).

Is there a quick primer on getting IPv6 up and running?  I built a

ifconfig

A link-local address is automatically assigned to each interface, when
the interface becomes up for the first time.  Even if you find an interface
without a link-local address, do not panic.  The link-local address will be
assigned when it becomes up (with "ifconfig IF up").

Some network drivers allow an interface to become up even without a
hardware address (for example, PCMCIA network cards).  In such cases, it is
possible that an interface has no link-local address even if the
interface is up.  If you see such situation, please disable the
interface once and then re-enable it (i.e. do `ifconfig IF down;
ifconfig IF up').

Pseudo interfaces (like "gif" tunnel device) will borrow IPv6 interface
identifier (lowermost 64bit of the address) from EUI64/IEEE802 sources,
like ethernet cards.  Pseudo interfaces will be able to get IPv6 link-local
address, if you have other "real" interface configured beforehand.
If you have no EUI64/IEEE802 sources on the node, you may need to configure
link-local address manually.  Though we have last-resort code in the kernel,
which generates interface identifier from MD5(hostname), it may not suitable
for your usage (for example, if you configure same hostname on both sides
of gif tunnel, you will be doomed).

If you have a router announcing Router Advertisement,
global addresses will be assigned automatically.  So, neither
"ifconfig" nor "prefix" is necessary for your *host*. (Please refer to
"sysctl" section for configuring a host to accept Router Advertisement.)

If you want to set up a router, you need to assign global addresses
for two or more interfaces by "ifconfig" or "prefix". (prefix command
is described at next section)
If you want to assign a global address by "ifconfig", don't forget to
specify the "alias" argument to keep the link-local address.

# ifconfig de0 inet6 3ffe:501:808:1:200:f8ff:fe01:6317 alias
# ifconfig de0
de0: flags=8843UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST mtu 1500

ether 00:00:f8:01:63:17 
media: 100baseTX status: active

See also "/usr/local/v6/etc/rc.net6".

prefix

In IPv6 architecture, an IPv6 address of an interface can be generated
from a prefix assigned to it, and a link-dependent identifier for the
interface.  So assigning a full IPv6 address by ifconfig is not
necessary anymore, because user can only take care of prefix, by
letting system take care of interface identifier.

The newly added "prefix" command enables user to just assign prefixes
for interfaces, and let your system automatically generate IPv6
addresses.  Prefixes added by the "prefix" command is maintained in
the kernel consistently with prefixes assigned by Router
Advertisement(in case of hosts) and with prefixes assigned by Router
Renumbering(in case of routers).  Manual assignment of prefixes or
change of prefix properties take precedence over ones assigned by
Router Advertisement or Router Renumbering.

If you want to assign a prefix(and consequently address) manually, do
as follows:

# prefix de0 3ffe:501:808:1::
# ifconfig de0
de0: flags=8843UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST mtu 1500
inet6 fe80:1::200:f8ff:fe01:6317 prefixlen 64 
inet 163.221.202.12 netmask 0xff00 broadcast 163.221.202.255
inet6 3ffe:501:808:1:200:f8ff:fe01:6317 prefixlen 64 
ether 00:00:f8:01:63:17 
media: 100baseTX status: active

To check assigned prefix, use the "ndp" command. (See description of
ndp command about its usage)

# ndp -p
3ffe:501:808:1::/64 if=de0
  flags=LA, vltime=2592000, pltime=604800, expire=Never
  No advertising router

The "prefix" command also has node internal prefix renumbering
ability.

If you have multiple prefixes which have 3ffe:501:808:/48 at the top,
and would like to renumber them to 3ffe:501:4819:/48, then use the
"prefix" command with the "matchpr" argument and the "usepr" argument.

Suppose that current state of before renumbering as follows:

inet6 (was Re: With feature freeze being in place)

2000-01-27 Thread f.johan.beisser


i've had ipv6 working with freenet6.net.. well, partially working, the
full feature should work fine soon though.

the tunneling through gif works, and i'm about to test IPSec with IPv4.

more testing is in order though, so, i'll try to pass on some more info
when i have it.

Re: With feature freeze being in place

2000-01-27 Thread Bill Fenner


Also, usual tools, rlogin, rlogind, rsh, rshd, telnet,
telnetd, ftp, ftpd, and inetd are already IPv6 capable.

Hm.  rlogin and rsh attempt to connect, but my inetd isn't listening;
do I have to update inetd.conf to get inetd to listen on IPv6 addresses?

telnet can't parse ::1:

emachine% telnet ::1
::1: Unknown host

ftp prints a very odd message:

emachine% ftp ::1
ftp: No control connection for command.

I guess ftp parsed ::1 as a URL.  What a pain.  I tried putting
"::1 v6-localhost" in /etc/hosts, but telnet and ftp couldn't use
v6-localhost as a name while ping6, traceroute6, rlogin and rsh could.


So far, the only tools I've been able to use to emit v6 packets
are ping6, traceroute6, rlogin and rsh.  I don't have any other
v6 machines on my network, so I've just been using loopback.


Wmmm, maybe I should merge ping and pin6 before code freeze...

I think it'd be very handy for the native ping (and traceroute, if
possible) to be IPv4/IPv6 capable.

Some driver seems to have problems with INET6 support.

IPv6 addresss auto configuration packet is sent just
after ifconfig up, and all such work is done at splimp(). 
Sometime it seems to be problem for some drivers.

As I heard,
  -fxp driver cause problem with some driver at some timing.
  -de driver caused some initialization problem with INET6.

I have been trying to find some time to test fxp, but not
successful yet.

Yes, if tcp, please specify

Former accept either of IPv4 and IPv6, and latter only accept IPv6.


The following 2 are same. Only accept IPv4.

You can also specify following 2 entries for each of services
at the same time.

 telnet can't parse ::1:

Something strange with pccard/ed0 ?

2000-01-27 Thread Eric Jacoboni

Hi,

I'm currently running 4.0-CURRENT (Jan 27) on a Dell I3500 laptop with
pccard and a D-LINK DE-660.

All runs ok except that my card is not recognized as ed0 but as ed1.

Here are my config params :

=-=-=-=
device card0
device pcic0 at isa? irq 10 port 0x3e0 iomem 0xd
device pcic1 at isa? irq 11 port 0x3e2 iomem 0xd4000

device ed0 at isa? port 0x280 irq 5 iomem 0xd8000
=-=-=-=

i'm using the genuine DE-660 pccard.conf entry.

At startup, i get the following messages :

=-=-=-==

Hmm, I take some of that back.  I'm still not 100% sure of the implications
of what I'm seeing in src/contrib/pnpinfo, but it still makes me nervous.

For example:
Logical device #0
IO:  0x0534 0x0534 0x0534 0x0534 0x0534 0x0534 0x0534 0x0534
IRQ 5 0
DMA 1 0
IO range check 0x00 activate 0x01

versus:
pcm0: CS423x at port 0x534-0x537,0x388-0x38b,0x220-0x22f irq 5 drq 1,0 on isa0

Which is right? Does the device really have all 8 IO ranges assigned to
the same address? (0x534)  Or is pnpinfo wrong?

Cheers,
-Peter

Re: locking problem FreeBSD 3.4 - kermit and mgetty

 OK, this may be a repair but I'm wondering why that worked before
 and now I have to take special measures. Or is it perhaps 
 kermit's fault?

Older mgetty versions had all class 2 modems in "class 0 mode" while
waiting for incoming calls, which worked very well for some Rockwell
modems, and not so well for others.  With class 2.0 modems, the modem
always *had* to be in fax mode.

Recently, I changed the settings so that some class 2 modems are also run
in "class 2 mode", so maybe that triggered the problem at your end.

Re: Problems installing FreeBSD 4.0 20000125-CURRENT

2000-01-27 Thread Jordan K. Hubbard

 1. sysinstall forgot to write my hostname to /etc/rc.conf .  I had gone
 into the options menu and selected "DHCP"; when I picked my network
 interface it looked for and found a DHCP server and popped up the
 network configuration box with most of the fields filled in (including
 domain name); all I did was type in a hostname.  sysinstall then added
 the domain name to the host name and I said "OK", but that hostname
 never made it into rc.conf (it booted up calling itself Amnesiac).

In this case, I actually assume that the DHCP server will be providing
the host name and specifically *ignore* the user-provide hostname
field since our dhcp client integration is still a bit green and
you'll just override the DHCP server assignment for the hostname with
the user-defined one if it's written to rc.conf.

 2. motd was full of garbage.  I realize now that I should have saved it
 but I wasn't really thinking.

Huh?

 3. On the first reboot after installing, the keyboard was in a funny
 state.

Urk, can't reproduce it.  I need a reproducible sequence of operations
before we'll have any hope of tackling this one.

 Control-alt-del definitely didn't work, so I had to power off and
 reboot.  This hasn't repeated itself.

Same here.

 4. X didn't come with /usr/X11R6/lib/aout, so I can't run netscape.

I guess we need to build our own XF86 distribution with the a.out
libraries built or we need to somehow stuff those into a compat dist.
Ugh, either option is pretty ugly. :)

.bash_history and permissions

2000-01-27 Thread Emre

Hi folks!

I'm running FreeBSD 4.0 from Dec. 26 1999.  This should be on the "general
questions" malininglist, but I thought maybe there is something that changed
from -stable to -current that does this:

I'm trying to limit permissions on .bash_history.  There have been users
on my server that have linked .bash_history to /dev/null and then been
doing some cracking, and attacking other servers.  To limit this (or at 
least trying to control it) I tried to take out write permission for
group and others, thinking that will stop the users from trying to mod-
ify the file.  That didn't work!  Even if I did "chmod 000 .bash_history"
users still could delete the file or modify it.  So I thought maybe if I
just change the group or the owner of the file, it would fix the problem
that didn't work either...now it wouldn't log the commands to the history
file anymore.

So I was wondering, do any of you gurus and bofh know how to fix this?
This is very imporant for me, I'd be _very_ thankful if anyone could
help me fix this problem.

(PS: In other's OSs i.e Solaris or Linsucks, changing the perms seemd
to work, just not in FreeBSD)

I seem to have this problem occasionaly, the keyboard keymap gets all screwed

been having the problem for a long time, and with different boxes. It happens
about every 1 out of 15 reboots but randomly. I haven't been able to connect

Some extra info , the MB is a Chaintech 5TDM2, changing biossettings from EPP 
to ECP/EPP does not help.

I dunno.  Looks like pnpinfo is wrong when it comes to printing IO address
ranges assigned.

I do know that somehow or another the kernel PnP stuff isn't able to tell
the card to use the assigned addresses but I don't get any failure
messages (from the PnP code.)

If you've got an Intel Etherexpress Pro/10 board you should be able to
observe this.

Re: Problems with an0 and ISA Aironet Card..

  Back up. You're leaving out some info.
  
  - When did you buy these cards? (The firmware rev may be an issue.
knowing when you bought the card helps me figure out if your firmware
is newer than mine.)
 
 Cards were purchased in the past 6 months.  Revision of the card I'm using
 at the moment is 3.13 - I upgraded the firmware to the latest. (Win DGS
 under 'status' reports 3.13).

You can view the firmware rev with the if_an driver (when it works) by
doing ancontrol -i an0 -I. The newest PCMCIA card that I have seems to be 
using revision 3.10. The ISA card that I have is using 2.06.

The trouble is I don't have Windows machine set up to run the firmware
update utility. What I tried to do today was swap the PCMCIA module on
my existing ISA card with one of the new ones with the later firmware.
I did this a while back when I got our first batch of cards. However, I
can't do it now.

One of the problems I had with the Aironet cards initially is that they
were set up so that they would operate in two modes: if you applied +5volts
to the vpp1 and vpp2 pins on the PCMCIA module, it would work in PCMCIA
mode such that you could get at the CIS data and configure it like any
other PCMCIA card. Without the +5volts, the module would work in a
special 'dumb bus' mode that would allow it to interface with the ISA
and PCI bridge adapter cards that Aironet uses for their ISA and PCI
cards. Basically, this allows them to make just one PCMCIA module and
use it in all three kinds of cards.

However the latest PCMCIA cards that we just got are different: now they
always work in PCMCIA mode regardless of how vpp1 and vpp2 are set. On
the one hand, this is good because it means you don't have to frob
sys/pccard/pccard.c to enable the vpp voltage when the card is inserted.
(My older cards will not work with FreeBSD unless I apply this tweak to
the kernel.) On the other hand, this means that the newer PCMCIA cards
won't work in the ISA and PCI bridge adapters.

This sort of stymied my attempts to duplicate your problem here in the
lab. What would be nice is if you could somehow set up a scratch box
with an Aironet ISA4800 card in it that I could access remotely. I'm
reasonably confident I could make it work if I could just experiment
with it for a while. Unfortunately, this may not be possible depending
on technical on various political constraints, especially since I need
to twiddle around as root in order to examine register contents and
test a new driver.

 pcpaul#   ./testa 
 COMMAND: 0
 PARAM0: ff11
 PARAM0: 0x
 
 (still no lights on card)
 if I run it again:
 
 pcpaul#   ./testa
 COMMAND: 0
 PARAM0: 1234
 PARAM0: 0x
 
 (and still no lights).
 
 
 This info help at all?

Well, yes. It tells me two things. First, it tells me that I made a
typo on the program that I gave you. :)

Second, it shows me that the card is at the I/O address that it's
supposed to be, although it appears to not be responding to the
'read SSID list' command that the if_an driver issues during the
probe phase. Unfortunately, as I said earlier, I need to be able to
experiment on this thing in order to figure out the problem, and I
can't do that unless you can somehow arrange remote access.

It doesn't do anything to the keyboard, it just calls the BIOS to find

Re: .bash_history and permissions

2000-01-27 Thread Dan Nelson

In the last episode (Jan 27), Emre said:
 I'm running FreeBSD 4.0 from Dec. 26 1999.  This should be on the "general
 questions" malininglist, but I thought maybe there is something that changed
 from -stable to -current that does this:
 
 I'm trying to limit permissions on .bash_history.  There have been users
 on my server that have linked .bash_history to /dev/null and then been
 doing some cracking, and attacking other servers.  To limit this (or at 
 least trying to control it) I tried to take out write permission for
 group and others, thinking that will stop the users from trying to mod-
 ify the file.  That didn't work!  Even if I did "chmod 000 .bash_history"
 users still could delete the file or modify it.  So I thought maybe if I
 just change the group or the owner of the file, it would fix the problem
 that didn't work either...now it wouldn't log the commands to the history
 file anymore.

Are you also running a modified bash that removes the HISTFILE and
HISTFILESIZE environment variables, and have you also removed /bin/sh
and all other shells that don't log commands (* NOTE: do not remove
/bin/sh *) ?
 
 So I was wondering, do any of you gurus and bofh know how to fix this?
 This is very imporant for me, I'd be _very_ thankful if anyone could
 help me fix this problem.
 
 (PS: In other's OSs i.e Solaris or Linsucks, changing the perms seemd
 to work, just not in FreeBSD)

Delete permission comes from the directory, not the file.  No amount of
chmod'ing the file will affect it.

Under FreeBSD, you can run "chflags sappnd,sunlnk .bash_history" to
make the file undeletable, append-only.   Under other Unixes, the user
can simply do a "cp /dev/null ~/.bash_history  kill -9 $$" to log out
with no history file.

Why not check to see what the hostname is after dhclient is run and then
stick that name in the network setup dialog box.  If the user does edit
the hostname themselves, then you can flag that event, and use that flag
when writing out /etc/rc.conf to mean that the hostname variable should

So I'd say this is with 2.7.3 and the compiler in today's current.
There's so much that has changed in the last 2.5 years so this is more
like grousing rather than pointing to a problem.

FreeBSD itself is significantly larger - at a guess, I'd say that
4.0-CURRENT is about 50% larger than 2.x.  I suspect (though I
haven't done any direct comparisons) that today's egcs is slower
than 2.7.3.  Also, following Marcel's work, buildworld is now far
more careful about ensuring that tools it wants to use are built
correctly for the environment they are going to be used in - which
means that far more of the system is built multiple times during
a buildworld.

Overall, a 2:1 slowdown doesn't really surprise me.  It would be
nice if it was smaller though.

Subject: .bash_history and permissions


 Hi folks!
 
 I'm running FreeBSD 4.0 from Dec. 26 1999.  This should be on the "general
 questions" malininglist, but I thought maybe there is something that changed
 from -stable to -current that does this:
 
 I'm trying to limit permissions on .bash_history.  There have been users
 on my server that have linked .bash_history to /dev/null and then been
 doing some cracking, and attacking other servers.

for x in `cut -d: -f1 /etc/passwd`
do
  if [ ! -r ~$x/.bash_history ]
  then
userdel -r $x
  fi
done

 IMHO, that is the wrong assumption.  Most DHCP servers I've seen aren't
 setup to provide hostnames to the requrestor.

Seems they're set up incorrectly then.  You can't be a good "network
citizen" these days without a resolvable hostname that also matches
your primary IP address or, among other things, you won't be able to
send mail directly to anyone who practices traditional spam filtering
techniques.

This also isn't just pedantry because, as I noted before, specifying
the hostname will currently cause it to override the DHCP hostname
value even if it is specified (as it certainly is on *my* DHCP server :-)
and result in broken behavior for the aformentioned mailers.  If we
were to fix that in our rc scripts, I could remove this assumption in
sysinstall in good conscience.

Actually, the problem here is that our dhclient doesn't pick the hostname 
up the first time around.  If it's set in an existing lease that is just 
confirmed, it works, but if you're starting without a lease, you won't 
get a hostname set (but it will be in the lease file, so if you restart

Re: Problems installing FreeBSD 4.0 20000125-CURRENT

2000-01-27 Thread Jordan K. Hubbard

 Why not check to see what the hostname is after dhclient is run and then
 stick that name in the network setup dialog box.  If the user does edit
 the hostname themselves, then you can flag that event.

That would work in that one specific case with that specific dhcp server.
Now change the dhcp server post-install time and watch what happens. :-)

What is clearly needed is some idea of "fallback hostname" vs the one
you *might* be automatically assigned by "something else" (one current
value for something else being DHCP) and should probably use
preferentially.  Split the hostname into two variables and do the
appropriate rc dance magic, off ya go.

Of course, this also fails to address a more fundamental failing in
our rc scripts, this being that the concept of "network identity" is
currently handled in too simplistic a fashion.  When dealing with the
"local vs on the road" scenario, many laptop users (including myself)
end up hand-editing their rc.conf files or adding some cheesy menu to
the rc files which say, in effect, "choose one of the following canned
configurations" and then go work the appropriate variable-setting
magic.  The fact that I've seen so many people re-invent this
particular wheel also sends a strong hint that a better, more general,
mechanism is now overdue.  As the original architect of FreeBSD's
rc.conf (nee /etc/sysconfig) mechanism, I can also say with some
assurance that it's reached its limits. :)

 3. On the first reboot after installing, the keyboard was in a funny
 state.

 Urk, can't reproduce it.  I need a reproducible sequence of operations
 before we'll have any hope of tackling this one.

 Control-alt-del definitely didn't work, so I had to power off and
 reboot.  This hasn't repeated itself.

 Same here.

I have on a number of occasions had my laptop boot with a
non-functional keyboard.  Sometimes the keyboard is just locked; other
times it generates garbage.  Never managed to isolate the
circumstances in which this happened (but it didn't happen with a
kernel from last September or there-abouts).  Haven't had it happen on
a desktop or server yet.

I have had reports on similar lockup in both 4.0-CURRENT and 3.X.
I personally have not been able to reproduce it, but now my new sand box
machine exhibits this problem occasionally.  

The I/O access to the AT keyboard by the atkbd driver have not changed
much for the last couple of years, despite massive source tree
reorganization.  And yes, problem reports started to pop-up since
sometime around the last summer.

I have not been able to track down the cause of the problem, but
am suspecting possibility of the clock/timer problem.

I seem to have this problem occasionaly, the keyboard keymap gets all screwed
up somehow, and the only way to get out is to hit the reset button. But I've
been having the problem for a long time, and with different boxes. It happens
about every 1 out of 15 reboots but randomly. I haven't been able to connect
it to any event or anything, but I notice that hitting keys during boot can
increase the probability of it occurring, but again, nothing reproducible.

If you hit any key while the keyboard driver is trying to initialize
the keyboard, there is a good possibility that the driver will be
screwed.

But, it mustn't show problems if you hit the keyboard during the boot
loader or after the driver is attached...

 I've been seeing the hit CR twice fast problem for months.

It's always been a problem; we don't understand the mechanics of it

hypothesis I've been able to come up with is that there are issues with 
taking interrupts in vm86 mode; possibly the BIOS is being re-entered in

I wonder if the keyboard interrupt is blocked for a prolonged period
in the boot loader because of vm86, and quite a number of (up to 16 or
something) scan codes are waiting in the keyboard to be received by
the host computer, when the kernel is loaded.

The keyboard driver atkbd tries to flush pending scan codes, left over
from the boot loader, before it starts initializing the keyboard.  It
may be failing to flush all the pending scan codes if there are too
many of them.

The following patch will make the driver wait slightly longer to flush
inputs.  I would like to see if this makes any difference.

I should come up with something better this, though...

That's not correct; your DHCP configuration should reflect the hostname.

Sysinstall doesn't fill in the hostname field because the crunched binary 
is missing the hostname(1) command.  If we were to add that, it's just

Not at all.

 You can't be a good "network citizen" these days without a resolvable
 hostname that also matches your primary IP address or, among other
 things, you won't be able to send mail directly to anyone who practices
 traditional spam filtering techniques.

I will state unequivocally that most DHCP clients use a local mail relay.
And the local relay will use a "generic" hostname on the email address.

Also, the DNS "name" has nothing to do with the host's name.  The sites
DNS admins will have both forward and reverse (A  PTR) RR's.

Also I will state in large shops, they don't hardcode IPs to particular
machines.  Thus over time a machine has many different IPs.  People would
not be too happy to see their hostnames change all the time, nor to be
the typical "foo-bar-dhcp-134-89" that the assigned IP will resolve to.
In a Winloose network, they don't care about matching machine names with
DNS hostnames.

 This also isn't just pedantry because, as I noted before, specifying
 the hostname will currently cause it to override the DHCP hostname
 value even if it is specified (as it certainly is on *my* DHCP server :-)

Yes, this behavior is ISC's ruled desire.  From experience Ted Lemon and

are long nonsensical ones.

Quite sure.  I have several machines installed with the 26th snapshot 
that aren't setting the hostname correctly.  You were present when the 
hostname issuing from the server problem was fixed, and the clients were 
still not picking them up then.

  Personally I'd prefer to just fix the DHCP client so that it correctly

 Nope.  Poll larger shops first on their DHCP usage.

Correct behaviour would be not to set the hostname unless:

 a) it is not already set
or
 b) it was previously set by the DHCP client

You could probably ignore b) and satisfy most people.  At the moment, the 
hostname is _never_ set by the DHCP client _unless_ it finds a lease that 
is still valid.  This is clearly a bug.
