Hey, wait a moment, if you want to switch to NetBSD, why are you trying to move stuff from NetBSD's /home to your FreeBSD-disklabel (/home as well, I suppose)? Shouldn't it be the other way round? Or am I getting something wrong? It should be the other way around indeed: I want to switch to FreeBSD. In case you are really desperate, Linux reads disklabels from both Free- and NetBSD just fine; unless you use UFS2 with FreeBSD, that is (if you do, prepare for lots of funny read-errors...). It's just a little tricky to figure out what device-nodes to use for BSD's partitions, they typically show up like logical partitions in extended DOS partitions (/dev/hda5 and upwards) Yes, I use UFS2 indeed, but then I guess it is not recommended to write to these partitions using FreeBSD? Maybe I can format a zip-disk and copy things that way...

Re: Mouse/X11 Documentation
Frank Jahnke wrote: I'm writing you this message for assistance in getting my mouse wheel to work with X11. Yes, another one of these requests. I have been through the documentation (and numerous articles on the web) and yet I still cannot get it to work. I am running BSD 4.8 with XFree86 v4.3.0 (downloaded last week, so it should be a very current version of the latest stable release). My window manager is currently Window Maker v0.80.1. The mouse is a Logitech MouseMan Wheel, which I understand is equivalent to the MouseMan+. With success I have installed support for the mouse using moused for the console drivers. I added line allscreens_flags to my rc.conf file for mouse support on the various virtual consoles. That works fine. I can also use the same three buttons for text selection and pasting in X11. What I cannot get to work is text scrolling using the wheel. From section 11.3 of the FAQ, first there is a description of /etc/XF86Config (which is now located in /etc/X11/XF86Config) that is for XFree86 v3 only. I currently have the 4.3 equivalent (see below) with SysMouse replaced by Auto. Changing from one to the other did not make a difference, as far as I could tell. Moving on to section 11.4 of the FAQ, I have tried without success to use either moused or the X server for wheel support. For the former, I added the moused_flags line and options to rc.conf, as suggested. Moving now to Example 11-2, first the caption is incorrect. It DOES describe use of XF86Config with moused Translations, does it not? I needed to use an Identifier of Mouse0 instead of Mouse1, or else X11 would crash (again, see below). Imwheel was downloaded and installed from the ports collection; the configuration file moved to ~/.imwheelrc (which was used without alteration). No success. Next I tried to use the X Server to translate wheel events. The suggested use of MouseManPlusPS/2 was not recognized by XFree; since BSD recognized the mouse type on boot-up, I reverted to Auto. Using the device /dev/psm0 was not successful -- the device was busy, and X11 would not load. I replaced psm0 with sysmouse. After imwheel was loaded, the wheel still did not scroll the screen. I admit that it is frustrating to find files in different directories, mislabeled headings in the documentation, and configurations that do not work as suggested. It feels to me that XFree86 is new, and has not been fully incorporated into the various texts. I am at loss on how best to proceed, and your suggestions would be most appreciated.

Mounting OpenBSD partitions (can see only root)
Hi,
I have a dual-boot PC and would like to mount the
OpenBSD partition (with 3 slices: root, swap and
/home) on the hard disk ad1 under FreeBSD 5.1.
However there are only 2 ad1 devices visible:
newhope:alex {264} ll /dev/ad1*
crw-r- 1 root operator4, 12 Aug 3 09:50 /dev/ad1
crw-r- 1 root operator4, 20 Aug 3 09:50 /dev/ad1s4
The FreeBSD-disklabel complains about those:
newhope:alex {262} sudo disklabel /dev/ad1s4
disklabel: /dev/ad1s4: no valid label found
newhope:alex {263} sudo disklabel /dev/ad1
disklabel: /dev/ad1: no valid label found
And the FreeBSD-fdisk shows the OpenBSD partition:
newhope:alex {265} sudo fdisk /dev/ad1
*** Working on device /dev/ad1 ***
parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are:
cylinders=79408 heads=16 sectors/track=63 (1008 blks/cyl)
Figures below won't work with BIOS for partitions not in cyl 1
parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are:
cylinders=79408 heads=16 sectors/track=63 (1008 blks/cyl)
Media sector size is 512
Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1
Information from DOS bootblock is:
The data for partition 1 is:
UNUSED
The data for partition 2 is:
UNUSED
The data for partition 3 is:
UNUSED
The data for partition 4 is:
sysid 166 (0xa6),(OpenBSD)
start 63, size 80035767 (39079 Meg), flag 80 (active)
beg: cyl 0/ head 1/ sector 1;
end: cyl 1023/ head 254/ sector 63
When I mount /dev/ad1s4 then it works, but I see only the
root (/) slice there. The OpenBSD /home-slice isn't visible.
I've searched archives and have found a suggestion to
run the FreeBSD-disklabel on the OpenBSD disk and add
the slices manually. But won't this corrupt my OpenBSD-
disk and make it unusable under OpenBSD? Where does
FreeBSD save the slice information? Also, is it safe
to mount OpenBSD slices read-write under FreeBSD?
Thank you
Alex

HI I have previously emailed [EMAIL PROTECTED] over problems with regard to what gets classified as excessive bounces. As a result of which I repeatedly get removed from the list. On each occasion I receive an email that tells me I have been temoved due to excessive bounces. That email quotes a confirm reference which does not work. I have to log in to my account and change the preferences in order to continue to receive the list postings. This always seems to happen during a period of time when: (a) I have made no postings to the list (so that rules out anything posted by me having bounced!) (b) I have received multiple emails from many other sources and there are no records of bounces from other lists (including multiple freebsd lists!) (c) The emails to me from [EMAIL PROTECTED] are reaching me. So what is happening??? Perhaps the settings for the mail server do not deal gracefully with advice that mail is temporarily undeliverable for some reason or what -- anyway it is happening too often. As I cannot seem to get an empathetic reply free [EMAIL PROTECTED] I am posting this query to the list -- I would like to know if anyone else is having similar problems.

Vertical Sync on Nokia Monitor
Hi, I'm running XF86 on freebsd 5.1. I would like to get at least 85Hz in 1152x864 on my Nokia 447Xi Monitor. I've set HV values in xfconfig (30-92, 50-150) but it still working on just 75Hz (default?). I've been experimenting with xvidtune for a while but I supose there is some better way to change it.

Re: Mouse/X11 Documentation
OK, I commented out the moused references from /etc/rc.conf, and changed XF86Config to psm0 from sysmouse and enabled ZAxisMapping. It worked -- even without imwheel! That's a great improvement -- thank you! Still, is there any way to get the mouse to work in X11 with moused? I'd really like to keep the mouse working in the systems console, if that is possible.

That wasn't my real point anyway. I was trying to refute your statement
that Even if the code contains a bug, cc -O and cc -O -fgcse
should produce the same results.
I claim that if the code has a bug that results in undefined behaviour
then the compiler is allowed to produce different results when invoked
with different optimization flags.
If the code being compiled has a bug that results in undefined behavior, the
compiler is allowed to produce different results when invoked with different
optimization flags.
While true, that doesn't refute my statement: what the compiler is allowed to
do, and what the compiler should do, is required not to diverge for code which
does not involve undefined behavior.
[ ... ]
Page 586 of _Compilers: Principles, Techniques, and Tools_ states:
First, a transformation must preserve the meaning of programs. That is, an
optimization must not change the output produced by a program for a given
input, or cause an error, such as a division by zero, that was not present
in the original program. The influence of this criterion prevades this
chapter; at all times we take the safe approach of missing an opportunity
to apply a transformation rather than risk changing what the program does.
--
Like your divide-by-zero example above, or this paragraph about semantics
vs meaning, I'm not going to disagree if you want to state that the
running time of a program is part of the behavior. However, using the
terms in such a fashion precludes you from understanding the intended
meaning in this particular context.
I understand the intended meaning. I just don't agree completely with
your reasoning. I would say that the compiler is not allowed to
*introduce* errors, or to change the meaning of *correct* programs.
So far, so good.
(Correct here essentially meaning programs that do not invoke undefined
behaviour.) For programs that do not have a defined 'meaning' the
compiler is free to do anyting.
This is wrong. The fact that integer divide-by-zero by not defined by ANSI C
(C89, et al), means the following program does not have well-defined behavior:
int main() {
return 120 / 0;
}
...however, what happens if you remove the semicolon after the zero?
That results in a syntax error, and the compiler is _not_ free to do anything
it likes in such a case: it is required to identify the syntax error in code
which fails to parse by issuing an error message:
d.c: In function `main':
d.c:3: syntax error before `}'
There is more to the point just above than just identifying syntax errors. If
you have 5 input source files (call them translation units), of which four are
valid code, and the fifth contains an error resulting in undefined behavior, the
compiler is required to compile four of the five source files in a well-defined
fashion.
One can repeat that analysis for code within the fifth input source file: if you
moved only the function containing the bug/undefined code to a sixth file, one
would discover that the compiler will handle the rest of the code in that file
in a well-defined fashion.
One could repeat the analysis yet again, using units known as basic blocks,
which may either be a single intermediate code instruction (that's intermediate
code within the AST, not the input source code), or a sequence of instructions
terminated by a flow-of-control instruction like a branch, return from
subroutine, memory protection/barrier commands, etc.
If a compiler was not allowed to change the result of running a program
having undefined behaviour when compiled with different optimization
flags, then this would preclude doing just about any optimization.
No, it would not. Code optimization consists of transformations to the AST
based on algebraic invariants, liveness analysis used by CSE and dead-code
removal, loop invariants, and other techniques which are universal
(platform-independant), as well as register allocation, peephole analysis, and
other transformations to the target code which are platform-specific.
What happens to source code with undefined semantics isn't particularly useful
to the person writing compiler: valid optimization techniques are required to
not change the meaning of any possible well-defined input source code, so being
able to behave differently in the case of undefined semantics doesn't help.
I am fairly certain that for *all* the specific optimizations available
in gcc it is possible to find *some* program that will give different
results depending on if that optimization ws used or not.
Are you claiming that every specific optimization available in gcc contains
bugs? :-)
If one were to accept your claims that the compiler should not perform
any optimizations that could change the behaviour any program, then it
would not be able to do any optimization at all, which is clearly not a
desirable situation.

FreeBSD compatability with an IBM Aptiva 2137-E30..
Hi! I have an IBM Aptiva 2137-E30, from which I would like run FreeBSD. To start with I wanted the 4.8 version, but now I think I'll pretty much take anything that works. The PC comes with a bootable CDROM drive, which will boot your Microsoft Windows installation CDs (have tried with w2k and XP). Also it has a 3½ floppy, which also will boot which ever (except FreeBSD) bootable floppy I feed to it. This is what I've tried so far, all of it has failed. 1. Bootable CD from the 4.8 MINI-ISO image. When attempting to read the kernel, it halts with this message: Invalid format FreeBSD/i386 BOOT Default: 0:fd(0:a)/kernel BOOT: And pretty much regardless of what I try, the last two lines is repeated. I haven't tried with another ISO (5.1 would probably be the next candidate), but I'm not going to either, because the, otherwise so fail proof, floppy installation disks also fails for both 4.8 and 5.1. 2. Floppy installation disks v. 4.8 The kernel disk boots up, seemingly fine, and prompts for the mfsroot disk. The mfsroot disk also reads fine, and ends up prompting me, if I want to boot kernel. I figure this must be what I'm supposed to do, so I hit the ENTER button, but after 2-5 seconds, an error occurs. There are two different which I have seen in this situation. To the best of my knowledge there is no logical pattern in which of the two I get at a specific time I try to boot. The first is like this. The following text is printed with white (not grey) text in the bottom of the screen: Fatal double fault: Eip 0xC030EE78 Esp 0xC05E3EB8 Ebp 0xC05E3EC0 Panic: double fault Uptime 0s At this time, all I can do is to reboot. The second error is like this. Almost every of the CPU's registers is dumped to the screen, in a continuous loop, scrolling down the screen. The values of the registers do NOT change. I'm sorry, but I'm too lazy to copy them onto this mail, but I suspect that the EIP, ESP, EBP registers all have the same value as in errortype 1. 3. Floppy installation disks v. 5.1 These disks behave EXACTLY like the 4.8 ones, except the second error the registers are only printed out once, and as a result there is also no scrolling down the screen. I have tried to find updates for the BIOS, as it dates all the way back to august 1997, but there isn't any available from IBM. I've tried putting the CDROM as master drive and the hd as slave, and the other way around. I've scanned my floppies rigorously with no signs of flaws what so ever. I know that there is some hardware on which FreeBSD will not run, and I'm starting to fear that this in one such piece of hardware. Anyone have any ideas? I really would like to avoid having to install linux in stead. //Steffen [at] Schumacher [dot] dk ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

to find out what it currently is? I was thinking you could keep
BitchX logged into a chat channel and script a /dns yournick and
email yourself the results from time to time.
How would you do it?
If you know what interface you are running on, then you can do this to
get the IP address:
ifconfig interface | head -2 | tail -1 | awk '{print $2}'
to get the IP address. Then if you want to mail it to yourself, then
you can do the following:
/usr/bin/printf Current IP address: `ifconfig interface | head -2 |
tail -1 | awk '{print $2}'`\n | /usr/bin/mail -s IP Address
Assignment root
To update your Dynamic DNS, use the following:
ddclient -use=if -if=interface
This will run ddclient in daemon mode so that anytime the IP address
changes on interface it will update the DDNS provider's servers.

Re: Mouse/X11 Documentation and Moused
List, I'm sending this summary of my efforts to get the wheel mouse to work in FreeBSD 4.8 and XFree86 4.3. I sent along a couple of messages earlier, but they seemed to get muddled... There are two ways to get the wheel mouse to work. I have succeeded only if X11 does the translations, but not using moused. I would like to do this... Has anyone succeeded in getting a wheel mouse to scroll in X with moused translation? X11 Translations: First, remove or comment out the line moused_enabled=YES in /etc/rc.conf if it is present. This turns off moused, which was the root of my problems. Then in /etc/X11/XF86Config use the following: Section InputDevice # Identifier and driver Identifier Mouse0 Driver mouse Option Protocol auto Option Device /dev/psm0 Option Buttons 5 Option ZAxisMapping 4 5 EndSection I've left out various other options from InputDevice; these can be added back in if you like. Note that my Identifier is Mouse0, which corresponds to my CorePointer at the end of XF86Config. The line setting Buttons to 5 is probably superfluous, but I didn't check that. So the documentation in the FAQ is correct, AS LONG AS MOUSED IS DISABLED, and YOU USE A CONSISTENT IDENTIFIER FOR INPUTDEVICE. I had had moused running, which caused the above to fail. Moused Translations. Alas, this does not work yet. I'm still setting up FreeBSD, so I am spending a LOT of time editing configuration files, particularly for X. I do most of these in the console window; I'd really like to keep the mouse working here. So, I did the following: activate in moused in rc.conf as moused_enable=YES moused_port=/dev/psm0 moused_type=auto moused_flags=-z 4 allscreens_flags=-m on which also enables the mouse for the virtual consoles. Before enabling moused, moused -p /dev/psm0 -i all gives /dev/psm0 ps/2 sysmouse MouseMan+, so BSD is correct in detecting my hardware. The file /etc/X11/XF86Config contains: # Identifier and driver Identifier Mouse0 Driver mouse Option Protocol auto Option Device /dev/sysmouse Option Buttons 5 Option ZAxisMapping 4 5 EndSection It doesn't matter if ZAxisMapping is removed or not -- this does not work.

Re: Mouse/X11 Documentation and Moused
In the last episode (Aug 03), Frank Jahnke said: Moused Translations. Alas, this does not work yet. I'm still setting up FreeBSD, so I am spending a LOT of time editing configuration files, particularly for X. I do most of these in the console window; I'd really like to keep the mouse working here. So, I did the following: activate in moused in rc.conf as moused_enable=YES moused_port=/dev/psm0 moused_type=auto moused_flags=-z 4 allscreens_flags=-m on which also enables the mouse for the virtual consoles. Before enabling moused, moused -p /dev/psm0 -i all gives /dev/psm0 ps/2 sysmouse MouseMan+, so BSD is correct in detecting my hardware. The file /etc/X11/XF86Config contains: # Identifier and driver Identifier Mouse0 Driver mouse Option Protocol auto Option Device /dev/sysmouse Option Buttons 5 Option ZAxisMapping 4 5 EndSection It doesn't matter if ZAxisMapping is removed or not -- this does not work. So -- has anyone succeeded in getting a wheel mouse to scroll in X with moused translation? The above setup works fine for me (I have ZAxisMapping commented out) on -current, with Xfree86 4.3.0. -- Dan Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Newbie question
Thanks, for all. And... i have another question! On 3rd subnet that must be used for internet connection(192.168.0.x) have a small Internet Server (DLink - 192.168.0.1) who listening for http connections (192.168.0.0/24 Dial on Demand) and have NAT, FreeBSD gateway is on 192.168.0.2. What I want to do is all Win boxes to have a connection to internet (from 192.168.1 and 192.168.2 subnets) Should I setup Internet server to listening for 192.168.0.0/16 or redirect adress from 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.2.1 to 192.168.0.1 with natd? Or may be have other answer? ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Using a fast PC for builds for slow PC
I have two PC, a PIII 700 and a P100 (with only 24meg RAM). I would like to use the faster PC for doing make buildworld and make buildkernel KERNCONF=XYZ. Then somehow do the install onto the slower PC. The slower PC is running as a router and httpd server. The faster PC is running very a different set-up however they are both running 5.1-RELEASE. Is this possible? _ Hotmail is now available on Australian mobile phones.

Hi! I am pretty new to FreeBSD, however, I do really enjoy useing it, its a GREAT server platform. It makes a pretty darn good desktop too. :-) Anyway, on to my question. I for the life of me can't figure out how to update my system. Everything I read REALLY confuses me. I was hopeing it would be something as simple as emerge world or system like in Gentoo Linux.

pw_mkdb() failed in rpc.yppasswdd
When using yppasswd to change a user password, rcp.yppasswdd failed in two ways:
change passwd from root on NIS server:
--- server syslog messages -
passwd: in pam_sm_chauthtok(): yppasswd_local(): failed to connect to rpc.yppasswdd:
nis.server.$DOMAIN: RPC: Program not registered
change passwd from a user on either NIS server or a remote machine:
--- server syslog messages -
rpc.yppasswdd[349]: pw_mkdb() failed
passwd: in pam_sm_chauthtok(): yppasswd_remote(): NIS password update failed
= end of messages =
This is on 5.1 release. What would be the problem?
pw_mkdb() in lib/libutil/pw_util.c shows that
this may be failed at execl(... , pwd_mkdb ...)
pw_mkdb(const char *user)
{
switch (pid= fork()) {
...
case 0 :
execl(_PATH_PWD_MKDB, pwd_mkdb, -p,
-d, passwd_dir, -u, user, tempname, NULL);
_exit(1);
...
}
if (waitpid(pid, pstat, 0) == -1)
return (-1);
if (WIFEXITED(pstat) WEXITSTATUS(pstat) == 0)
return (0);
errno = 0;
return (-1);

DNS Server Farm
Hi there Our company has inherited/bought an ISP outfit which has around 2 million subscribers. Among our first priority is to upgrade the DNS service which has been abysmal according to the users Can someone give me a head-start on a recommended configuration for such DNS outlay which serves 2M+ dial-up users? Are multiple Bind boxes with a hardware load-balancer sufficient and up to the job? If so, which hardware solution (load-balancer) should I be shortlisting? Most of the users' complains has been requests time-outs and bad uptimes, which suggest bad load management and redundancy. As I am most comfortable with FreeBSD, and I intend to deploy it across the boxes we inherited with the deal. Having said that, we do have some Solaris boxens which is lying around. Any ideas and guides is greatly appreciated Thanks -- En Sabah Nur [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Living in LA is like not having a date on Saturday night. -- Candice Bergen ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

My ISP isn't going to change my IP address while I'm using it, so
as long as my dhclient is doing its job and renewing the lease in a
timely manner, the IP number won't change. For an always-on connection,
I run it when I boot the gateway box. When I was using a dial-up
connection regularly, I had a script that grepped the output from
netstat to get IP addresses. Obviously, I ran that when I dialed up.
