How to turn off FreeBSD

[Tadimeti Keshav]

Hi all,
I have a problem turning off my computer after
shutting down FreeBSD. I use 4.5. When I get the
prompt to press any key to continue, I have to "turn
off" the computer 3-5 times.

What has been your experience?
Thanks...

Installing FreeBSD 5.1 - Boot manager doesnt install itself

[y . patil]

I have two disks on my machine - the first has WinNT while the second had linux. I 
used Lilo 
to select which OS I wanted to boot. 

Replacing linux, I installed FreeBSD 5.1-RELEASE on the second disk. In spite of 
selecting 
the Boot manager for installation, it still doesn't seem to install itself. I still 
see the Lilo menu at 
boot time. 

When selecting the boot manager option during installation, I am asked on which disk 
the 
operation should be performed on, and it selects ad1 (the second disk) by default. 
Using ad1 
as the default suggested choice results in no boot manager prompt after install 
completes. If I 
select ad0 instead, I get an error message saying "only one fat allowed as a child of 
whole". 

Whats the problem here? Thanks in advance

Retry: Problem with boot/loader I can't seem to solve. Ideas anyone?

[Frank Masolijn]

L.S.

For about a week now I've been trying unsuccesfully to solve the problem
below.

My machine was installed with 4.8-Release.
The problem started after compiling and installing a new kernel to replace
kernel.GENERIC

What happens is:

The system starts.
Detects the AH2940 SCSI controller.
The controller detects 3 devices.
-SCSI ID#2 CDROM
-SCSI ID#1 IBM 4,3 GB Disk 0x80 (probably recognized later as da1)
-SCSI ID#0 IBM 4,3 GB Disk 0x81 (probably recognized later as da0)

It then starts boot0 and shows the boot0 selection-screen.
F1 FreeBSD
F5 Drive 1

Default: F1

-Choosing F5 results in errors since that one isn't bootable.
-Choosing F1 (in my opinion the correct one) yields the following.

Having choosen something at boot0 the system continues.
At this point it should be able to find /boot.config, but as I'll later show
it apparently ignores it.

It then shows the boot2 screen.
>> FreeBSD/i386 BOOT
Default: 0:ad(0,a)/kernel
boot:

At this point I've tried entering the following things.
X:da(Y,a)/Z with
-X anywhere between 0 and 5.
-Y anywhere between 0 and 2.
-Z either /kernel or /boot/loader.

The following options allowed a continued boot.
1:da(0,a)/kernel
1:da(1,a)/kernel
1:da(2,a)/kernel
1:da(0,a)/boot/loader
1:da(1,a)/boot/loader
1:da(2,a)/boot/loader

All the others didn't work.

Having discovered the correct input I assumed putting the same into
/boot.config would solve the problem and would ensure I wouldn't have to
fill it in manually every time the system boots
(this is not practial sincec the system neither has a viewscreen or a
keyboard) this however isn't the case. Whatever I fill in into /boot.config
the result remains the same. The system tries to boot
tells me twice "Invalid partition' followed by "Can't find /kernel".

I've reinstalled boot0, boot1 and boot2 to no effect. Reïnstalling FreeBSD
from scratch and making another kernel resulted in the same problem.

My guts tell me the problems lies in boot0 or boot1's apparent inabillity to
execute the correct value specified in /boot.config but I can't find any
cause for this.
Has anyone got any ideas on how to resolve this problem or where to find
additional documentation since I can't find enough information in the
Handbook to determine whether the problem indeed lies in the system's
inabillity to find /boot.config?

Thanks in advance,

Frank Masolijn

required. (If somethings missing please mail me.)

RE: trouble with kernel

[Rob]

cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf && ee GENERIC
now just add the device like so
device  pcm
then Esc and save
then cd /usr/src/ && make buildkernel KERNCONF=GENERIC

after its done building:
make installkernel KERNCONF=GENERIC

now shutdown -r now

Hope this helps

why is it that we have had sound cards on computers for practically
20 years yet device pcm is not compiled into the default kernel.?

would it make a huge difference in speed if someone didnt have a sound card?

You only need to recompile if you want the driver in the kernel.  If you 
check /boot/kernel there are modules that can be loaded dynamicly so you 
never need to reboot to add or upgrade drivers(except for agp).  If you 
have a sound blaster the best bet would be to add the line 
snd_pcm_load="YES" to /boot/loader.conf.  This must be done as root.  
This will cause the driver to be loaded at every boot.  Use $kldload 
snd_pcm.ko to load the driver now.  Then use $kldstat to see if the 
driver is loaded.  If that is not the driver you can keep loading and 
unloading, or check the document for which one to load.  If you don't 
care and just want it to work use $kldload snd_driver.ko and 
snd_driver_load="YES".  This will load all the supported sound drivers 
and if your card is supported you should now here the music.  Check the 
handbook for more info and for details on getting multichannel sound if 
you want it, and everything you need to recompile if you want to.

I forgot to mention that this is intended as a supplement to 
the previous 
responses. In particular, it looks like you need to set up 
NAT. If that's 
not set up, then nothing will work.

Just create a typical partitioning scheme for a web server, and keep the

Going from the outside of the disk inward, you would have: / (small), swap, 
/www-jails, and so on. If you are going to have some heavy sites consider 
two disks: one for system and web content files and the other for access

Could you be more specific about what doesn't work? Have you tried ping 
and traceroute? nslookup? HTTP? Sometimes when people are having trouble, 
it turns out that they are having trouble with specific apps, but 
otherwise can connect successfully.

It looks like you're using the CLIENT ruleset from the default rc.firewall. 
If this firewall is for a LAN, you will have more success with the SIMPLE 
ruleset. (I made the same mistake the first time I set up a LAN firewall.)

I use IPFW with stateful rules on a cable connection without problem. 
I've tested them to confirm that they keep state and respond appropriately 
to packets. I haven't been able to find a mention of a problem with 
stateful rules in the archives, except for problems using advanced stateful 
rules with a divert rule. The original poster isn't using either, so 
that shouldn't be causing a problem for him.

Compaq Deskpro won't reboot

[Matthew Ryan]

Hi,

I have a number of compaq deskpro 350mhz P2 boxes which run FreeBSD 
very happily.

I have recently started using FreeBSD 4.8 but have run into a snag.

It seems that these Compaq boxes will nor warm boot under FreeBSD4.8. 
Using either "reboot" or "shutdown -r now", they shut down cleanly but 
then never come back up again.

Any ideas?

Thanks

There will be data loss in converting from mp3 to ogg format because mp3 is 
already using lossy compression.  You want to ogg the original source data, 
although a 44.1 KHz .wav file is basicly raw PCM audio plus a header, anyway.

Anyway, look for something called sox, which is a good sound format converter 
utility.

cdda2wav permissions

when I try to run cdda2wav to record an audio cd as a user, I get a 
permission denied error.  I checked the cdda2wav binary and the 
permissions on it are 555, so I should be able to execute the binary as

Is this a new problem?  That is, did the command work before?

Did you recompile the kernel with 'dev atapicam' to treat the cdrom as a scsi 
device?  If so, you need to change the device name in /etc/fstab.  Try 
/dev/cd0c.

Best of luck,

Re: Replacement for WinRar?

[Dragoncrest]

Well, file splitting (breaking up a rar file by user selected byte 
size), simple GUI interface, right click and archive, double click extract, 
file preview, tunable compression ratios.  Those are just for 
starters.  It's one of the reasons I use WinRar on windows cause of all the 
stuff it does.  The biggest selling point for a BSD equivalent would be the 
ability to do both Rar and Zip and to be able to split a large archive into 
smaller pieces.  Those are the two things I like most about it.  :)  Not 
that it does them, but does them in the most idiot proof manor.  Something 
even I can't screw up!  :D

What exactly does WinRar do that you want to replicate?
'Everything' is pretty broad.

OK w/ 4.8R: sendto: buffer space not available

[chael]

IMO, I think this area of dev should be revisited before 4.9-RELEASE.
Because when I brought it down to 4.8-RELEASE via cvsup, it has not failed
yet. It usually fails around 12 hrs from boot. And it has been 14+ hours now
running very fine.

One thing I noticed though... it seems that over time, the peak values on
netstat -m grows. Although it is still far from the max value I set in
kern.ipc.nmbclusters. Last value before networking stalls is around 9000 to
1+ on my mbuf clusters. Now with 4.8-RELEASE, the netstat -m shows a
steady peak value of just 5226.

Thanks.

Re: Problems trying to boot from an 80GB

[Mark Terribile]

Sean and Andrew,

I'm no expert, but two things strike me as odd.
Perhaps some greater Guru can tell us whether or not
they represent a problem.

>> I'm trying to get my first FreeBSD (4.8-RELEASE)
>> installation working, ...

>> Next, I created a NTFS partition on the drive

As I understand it (and check the man page for
boot(8)) the MBR boot record has to pull a larger
boot program from the partition or slice (?) which
pulls in a Forth interpreter and a Forth program.
It is this loader which gives you the initial
messages about `8 seconds to boot' and allows you
to interrupt it, chose another kernel file, set
sysctl variables, etc.

This loader has to be able to read the root directory
on the file system.

I see two possible problems.  First, the loader has
to know how to read the root directory and find the
blocks of the file.  Can it do this if the file
system is an NTFS file system?  (I understand  NTFS
to mean one of the Windows FS types.)  Second, if
you use the Dangerously Dedicated structure, with no
FreeBSD slice table, is there a place for the second
stage boot block and the boot loader to be stored?

Wine is not a simple program, once it is installed, only some windows can run. 
Each program often needs a special set of wine configuration settings to make 
it work properly, which you learn by trial and error, or searching on google. 
Good luck! (:

4.8 Install for Web Server

[Chris]

Any pointers or suggestions on a fresh install of 4.8, when the box will be used for a 
web server running in a handful of jails? It has 80gig HD, so one of the issues I'm 
inquiring about is a good partitioning scheme.
Thanks,

Ideas To Save Failing System?

[Drew Tomlinson]

I have system running 4.8 that seems to be losing a hard drive.  I have many
entries such as these in /var/log/messages:

Sep 14 17:44:43 blacksheep /kernel: ad0s1a: UDMA ICRC error writing fsbn
131265 of 65600-65615 (ad0s1 bn 131265; cn 10 tn 93 sn 36) status=51

of 65872-65887 (ad0s1 bn 131808; cn 10 tn 102 sn 12) status=51 error=04

I have a root session on the machine but it will not respond to any
commands.  Everything gets errors such as these:

blacksheep# shutdown -r now
/sbin/shutdown: Input/output error.

blacksheep# ps -acux
/bin/ps: Input/output error.

blacksheep# ls
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Is there anything I can do to save this machine?  I'm afraid if I power it
off, the disk will be corrupt and it probably won't boot.  I'd really like
to make a backup and then replace the disk.  Any ideas?

Thanks,

Drew

Re: 486SX, 100MB HDD - need FreeBSD, how?

[Technical Director]

Alex,

If you are really desperate or have a "just gonna do this for
fun" attitude you could do the following:

1) If you have more than 1 computer, steal the Floppy Drive for the time
it takes you to install.
2) If you have a laplink or even a parallel port xover cable you can use
that to install.
3) If you don't have either of the above  you really are in a situation
that doesn't merit the time IMHO. 

R.

No.


(This is the most direct and accurate answer to the question you asked.)

In order to get the most out of Wine, you have to be an expert in both
Microsoft Windows and Wine.  However, you may be able to get something
useful out of Wine with only a moderately severe investment of time and
intellectual energy.

In a nutshell, to install Wine:

cd /usr/ports/emulators/wine
make install
make clean

This takes a couple of hours and more than half a GB of scratch disk space
on my old machine (and a little over 10 minutes on my new machine!).
After you do the "make install", examine the last batch of lines output
in the window in which you did the make.  You should see block of text
beginning with:

  In order to use Wine on FreeBSD 4.x, you need a kernel with option USER_LDT
  enabled.  You also need options SYSVSHM, SYSVSEM, and SYSVMSG; these are
  default on FreeBSD 4.x and above.

and ending with:

  For more information, and contact details about the security
  status of this software, see the following webpage: 
  http://www.winehq.com/

Read this text somewhat carefully.  You might want to save it in a file.
It mentions some useful man pages, doc files, and a configuration file.

Also check out /usr/ports/emulators/linux-winetools.  I have never used
this port but it looks like it might be useful.

I am sorry I can't be more helpful, but I don't think anything else I can
write would do you much good.  You have to learn about Wine yourself
(mostly the hard way).

Re: No networking on 4.9-PRERELEASE

Dude, same here! Although mine's not an xl but an rl.

I have posted it under subject "sendto: buffer space not available". I tried
several times with that 4.9-PRERELEASE. But after every 12hrs, I get the
buffer space error.

Now I brought it back to 4.8-RELEASE-p4 via cvsup and everything seems to be

Netware Client for FreeBSD

[James Leone]

I have access to a Netware IV server and am trying to connect to it from 
my FreeBSD 5.1-Current desktop.  My goal is to figure out how it works 
in FreeBSD, so I can add support for FreeBSD to the Netwhere client for 
Linux:

http://forge.novell.com/modules/xfmod/project/?nwcunix

It took me a long time to get the "recipe" for Linux correct, and I hope 
to get the FreeBSD "recipe" right in a reasonable amount of time.

I have compiled a series of clues, extracted from all of the 
documentation that I have searched for and read over. However, after 
following these steps, I am still unable to connect to the Netware 
server, and how they relate to each other is unclear.

1. . I compiled IPX support into the kernel

2. I installed the Ncplib port

There is a ncplib port in /usr/ports/net/ncplib. I performed a standard 
make install clean, and it seems to have installed correctly, however, I 
cannot find any useful instructions. The 
/usr/ports/net/ncplib/README.html file asks me to please read the 
description file, which only states this:

cplib is a free client for Novell NetWare servers.
WWW: http://rbp.chat.ru/ncplen.html
--
Boris Popov
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
However, when I go to http://rbp.chat.ru/ncplen.html which is refered to 
in README.html and the description file, the page says:

An error occured while loading http://www http//rbp.chat.ru/ncplen.html:

Unknown host www http
So, I take a look at /usr/ports/net/ncplib/pkg-plist file, it shows:

bin/ncpasswd
bin/ncplist
bin/ncplogin
bin/ncplogout
bin/ncplpd
bin/ncprint
bin/ncpsend
bin/ncpurge
sbin/ncpsvc
@cwd /
modules/nwfs.ko
sbin/mount_nwfs
There are man pages for these commands, but when I actually run the 
commands, they give me the following errors:

This command check the network for Netware servers:

ncplist s
Can't find any file server
I also check out the man page for "mount_nwfs" and run a command to log 
into the netware server on a temporary account that does not have a 
password. I have tested its access in Linux and Windows and they both work:

mount_nwfs -S BAM -U testbsd -V sys /nw
mount_nwfs: can't find server BAM: syserr = Protocol not supported


Obviously I am missing some information, so I search the net and find 
this page:

http://people.freebsd.org/~bp/ipxen.html

The first thing I noticed was that hte page is missing a date. This is 
important, because it instructs the user to replace some of the source 
code that comes with FreeBSD 5.1-Current with code available for 
download, and then to compile that into the kernel.  I did not do this, 
because I had no idea if these changes have already been merged into the 
tree. I did compile my kernel adding the IPX option, but did not 
download ipxrt.tgz, because IPXrouted was already installed on my 
machine. I also know from my experience with Linux, that Mars-nwe is 
required to login to a Netware 4.11 server.  I tried using Mars-nwe, but 
that didn't seem to help either. Yes, I read the man pages, but 
unfortunately, configuration information has not been provided.

Thanks to some additional searching and for the information recently 
provided by Cristian Salan I:

1. Added these lines to /etc/rc.conf:

ifconfig_rl0f2_ipx="ipx 0x350" #IPX address family entry
(I also tried: ifconfig_rl0f2_ipx="ipx 12345678" #IPX address family entry)

ipxrouted_enable="YES"  # Set to YES to run the IPX routing daemon
Note that when I run ifconfig, my device is normally "rl0".

2. Added these lines to /boot/loader.conf:

if_ef_load="YES"
nwfs_load="YES"
ncp_load="YES"


3. However when I run ncplist s, I still get a goose egg:

Can't open audio device /dev/dsp: Device busy ?

[Rob Lahaye]

Hi,

How can I find out which app. keeps /dev/dsp busy?

Without any other sound application running, I got this message when
starting mplayer or realaudio. Somehow the system got muddled up.
After some random trial and error, I finally discovered that everything
came back to normal when I killed xscreensaver.
So for some reason xscreensaver kept /dev/dsp busy.
Is there a command to find out directly which app. keeps /dev/dsp busy?

Thanks,
Rob.

Odd vmware / vnconfig (?) configuration.

[Lewis Thompson]

Hi,

This is quite a complicated setup, I think.

  I've got a single 80GB disk in my machine, which currently has Windows
XP and FreeBSD installed.  Since I only use WinXP from time-to-time I
would like to be able to boot it from VMware3 WS (which is installed and
working).

  FreeBSD is /dev/ad0s1 and WinXP is /dev/ad0s2.

  VMWare doesn't seem to like having the raw disk /dev/ad0 used.  I'm
guessing this is because I'm using that for FreeBSD at the same time.
Therefore -- I wanted to know if it was possible to maybe provide a sort
of symlink to /dev/ad0s2 that can be read as a file.  I thought maybe
vnconfig was the way to do this.

  If there are any VMWare xperts -- could it be possible that this
``file'' could be used as a raw disk?  Anything to do this would be very
helpful as I'm totally stuck.

  Thanks very much,

-lewiz.

Yeah, I tried msdos as well (man page is wrong specifying ufs), still

Just go ahead and do it (assuming there isn't one already)..lots of
countries and regions have their own local support mailing lists.
Once you're set up, contact the doc@ people to get the contact details

doh, this works as expected (without the "keep-state" statement)...

ipfw add 20 allow tcp from me to any limit src-addr 2

and does the stateful stuff.  Just a syntax nuance between
ipfw1 and ipfw2.

Fwd: Re: FreeBSD CDROM Installation

[David Nobles]

Per David's suggestion, I'm redirecting this question to this list.  My
FreeBSD CDs are for 3.2.  Not sure what additional information might
be helpful.

The sequence of events above doesn't make sense. It sounds as if when
you set your media type it subsequently reboots. It shouldn't be doing
that at all.
You should redirect this question to the freebsd-questions list, as the
charter of this list prohibits the answering of technical questions.
The only way we can keep FreeBSD's reputation of stability and
robustness is to direct people with technical questions to those who
actually know the answers.

Re: CHAT ON LAN WITH WIN MACHINES?

[otterr]

Alex,
If it was just Unix operating systems, I'd suggest talk/ytalk between two people. 
Since you say some maybe Windows clients, and the thought crossed my mind that it may 
be several people, consider setting up a local ircd server. Some may want to use IM 
clients. Most, if not all, of those require authentication outside your LAN.

/var/tmp/temproot/var/empty should be deleted by mergemaster along
with the rest of temproot.  There were some modifications a few months
back to enable it to deal with the .../var/empty directory --
essentially it just does a 'rm -rf' to get rid of as much as possible,
then a 'chflags -R 0' to de-flag the rest and 'rm -rf' again to finish
off the job.

Perhaps you have an older version of mergemaster before that
capability was added.  Anyhow, feel free to zap the contents of
/var/tmp/temproot manually.  Leave /var/empty alone, unless you've got
something against ssh(1) working properly.

Cheers,

Matthew

Re: D-Link DFE-530TX NIC not recognized...

[yo _]

The DFE-530TX and DFE-530TX+ use different ethernet chipsets. The D-Link 
website has information about the older model and what chipset it uses, it's 
not RealTek 8139, i forget what it actually is though. I remember being 
concerned with this when i got my 530TX+ though. Good Luck!

Is the rl driver in your kernel?  If it isn't try loading it from the
command line with 'kldload /modules/if_rl.ko'.
If that works, you need to either add 'device rl' to your kernel
configuration and build a new kernel or add 'rl_load="YES"' to
/boot/loader.conf.

FreeBSD 5.x and bind 9.x

[alexus]

Hello

I'm using following:

OS: FreeBSD 5.1-RELEASE
Bind: bind-9.2.2

both, release/stable version not a development and I'm expereincing two
major problem with bind (also I didn't had that problem while using same
bind on FreeBSD 4.x-STABLE/RELEASE )

anyway here is what's going on

I run bind it seems to be running without any errors however, resolving part
doesn't work and rndc part doesn't work. After I run bind I checked if at
least port is open and yes it's open

here is my named.conf

alexus# cat /usr/local/etc/named.conf
key "rndc-key" {
  algorithm hmac-md5;
  secret "x";
};

controls {
  inet 127.0.0.1 port 953
  allow { 127.0.0.1; } keys { "rndc-key"; };
};

options {
allow-recursion {
127.0.0.1/32;
192.168.0.0/16;
172.16.0.0/12;
10.0.0.0/8;
};
directory "/usr/local/etc/namedb";
pid-file "/var/run/named/named.pid";
version "unknown";
};

zone "." { type hint; file "hint"; };
zone "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa" { type master; file "localhost"; notify no; };

ipfw2 loss of feature ?

[Bruce Campbell]

With ipfw1 on 4.8 I use this:

ipfw add 10 check-state
ipfw add 20 allow tcp from xxx.xxx.xxx.0/24 to any keep-state limit src-addr 10

to provide stateful firewalling, and limit the number of simultaneous
tcp sessions to 10 per client.  Seems to work great.

On 4.8 I tried ipfw2

(kernel with options IPFW2 and rebuilt ipfw and libalias with -DIPFW2
as instructed in "man ipfw")

When I tried ipfw2, as I wanted keepalives, I get an error
when I run "ipfw"

  only one of keep-state and limit is allowed

How can I do both the stateful firewalling and limit
the simultaneous sessions, with ipfw2 ?

Thanks



ps. As an aside,  I also patch /usr/src/sys/netinet/ip_fw.c to
be more verbose when it drops a session...

I'm confused here, but that's nothing new...
I'm running 4.8-RELEASE-p4.

I can read what Jerry says, but does he mean that /var/empty should not
be deleted, or that /var/tmp/temproot/var/empty should not be deleted?

These two directories are completely different, and if I'm rebuilding
from source for, say, the second time, then /var/tmp/temproot/var/empty
might exist and definitly should be deleted, right?

FreeBSD won't run Office 2000. However, the OpenOffice package in
FreeBSD *may* be able to handle the documents from Office 2000,
depending on complexity. It handles manages to handle *all* of the
Office-stuff I get.

You could use LinPopup (ports/linpopup) and Samba to send and recieve smb

D-Link DFE-530TX NIC not recognized...

[ngin]

Hello,

I have a D-Link DFE-530TX Ethernet NIC installed in a FreeBSD 4.6.2 box. Looking at:

freebsd.org/releases/4.6.2R/hardware-i386.html#ETHERNET

I see my card is supported:

RealTek 8129/8139 Fast Ethernet NICs ( rl(4) driver)
D-Link DFE-530TX+, DFE-538TX

But when kernel boots I see no sign of any ethernet card... I think it should be 
displayed at these lines:

pci1:(vendor=0x1106,dev=0x3106)at 9.0 irq 11
pci1:(vendor=0x127a,dev=0x1005)at 13.0 irq 11

I just don't know how to have it recognize my card. Any suggestions as to what should 
be done?

Thank you,
Dan

Re: another newbie struggling with ppp/modem issues - still struggling

[Alex]

Thanks to all who responded. I think I've narrowed this down to a problem
recognizing the port (rather than a hardware problem), but this still
doesn't have me much closer to success. The actual modem is a US Robotics
Performance Pro (not a Winmodem), so I doubt that's the source of my
troubles.

I did run sh MAKEDEV to make sure that all the devices existed. Then I used
Kermit to try to contact the modem and I got a message that read:

connection to /dev/cuaa2 failed: Device not configured

Also, on startup, I'm still getting this error message that reads:

sio2: configured irq 5 not in bitmap of probed irqs 0

Can anyone see what I might be missing here?

Thanks a lot,
Alex

PS- Here, once again, are the lines from my kernel config file:

# Serial (COM) ports
device   sio0at isa? port IO_COM1 flags 0x10 irq 4
device   sio1at isa? port IO_COM2 irq 3

I think the reason is probably because the other reason to go all
Atheros is because it supports the SuperA/G as well which allows 108Mbps
raw data or 90Mbps active throughput and that's only possible with Atheros
but the routers so far that has Atheros are the D-Link DI-774 and the
Netgear FWAG114 and they are atleast $230 each.  For PCMCIA and Desktop
cards, the Netgear A+G or D-Link A+G has the Atheros inside.

I'm interested to hear what the problem is with IPFW and keep-state,

 I have never used IPFW with ppp, but it looks like the original

No networking on 4.9-PRERELEASE

[Mike Meyer]

I updated (via source) to 4.9-prerelease. No, I *tried* to update to
4.9-prerelease as of Sep 13th. The problem is that networking seems to
be failing in the 4.9-prerelease kernel. I build on one system and
test on a second system, installing via nfs. Following the nsame steps
I always follow to install a new kernel and world fails when I try and
install the world running the new kernel, as the nfs mount never
happens. Trying to ping the build system results in "Host is down"
messages. I can ping localhost and the ip address of the test machine
with no problems; those both use the loopback network. The interface
that's failing is xl0.

Does anyone have an xl that's working with 4.9-prerelease? How about
anyone else having network problems with 4.9-prelease. A solution
would be best of all, of course.

I installed it on a 533MHz Celeron and it took about 24 hours.  Give or

SSH: failed password after fresh install

[Bryn Dyment]

I've installed two FreeBSD boxes on my LAN.  On the first box, the only
thing I did after the install process was edit "/etc/ssh/sshd_config",
setting "PermitRootLogin" to "yes", then issuing "killall -1 sshd".  After
this change, I could successfully connect to this box via my SSH client.

I did the same thing with the second box, but I cannot login via my SSH
client.  I get an invalid password error, and "Failed password" also appears
on the server in "/var/log/auth.log".  I have rebooted, and also
reinstalled, to no avail.  Any idea as to what could be causing this error?

I don't have a direct answer to this question, but a bit of
information:

Last weekend I bought a couple of 802.11b/g wireless routers (AirLink,
I think).  These boxes contain an access point, a four-port Ethernet
switch and an additional downlink Ethernet port.  They're intended as
cable or ADSL gateways, accessed by the downlink port.  You can
configure the downlink port to access the other networks by NAT or
directly, and you can run a mini-firewall if you want.  It can also
function as a DHCP server.  These boxes cost me $80 at Fry's, the same
price as a basic 802.11b access point.

This weekend I went back to Fry's looking for Atheros-based wireless
cards.  The cheapest I could find cost $100.

Based on that, it's not clear why you would want to build an AP from a
wireless card.

Re: how long is installation time

[Vulpes Velox]

That is odd. It should not take that long. I've been bored enought to see how
long KDE takes to start on a 486dx4, before...  it takes just a little while to
install and 15 minutes or so for it to start...

I why not just put that drive in the amd system and use it there? If you are
looking to experiment with FreeBSD, I would really suggest that. Far better
compile times and ect.

If you want to keep using p133, I suggest trying to find a bit more ram and use
a light windows manager. Blackbox, fvwm, WindowsMaker, and the like should all
work nicely on it.

PEAP (wireless authentication) support

[Stijn Hoop]

Hi,

here at my workplace they're installing a wireless network. Since this
is all new to me, I was asking around a bit and discovered that they're
using the PEAP protocol for authentication on the network. Unfortunately
my search for network software that supports this on FreeBSD has turned
up no results. Can anyone point me in the right direction, or is this
simply not possible yet?

Thanks!

1.  While partitioning the hard drive, did you mark the FreeBSD partition as 
bootable?
2.  After partitioning, but before disk labelling, did you select an option to 
install the boot loader into the MBR?

It sounds like you missed one or both of those steps during one or both of 
your installation attempts.  You may be able to fix those steps using the 
installation CD without repeating the entire installation.

In the past, I frequently got the warnings about incorrect hard drive 
geometries.  I have always ignored the message and let FreeBSD use the values 
it wants, and have never had any problems.  This may be dangerous advice; so 
follow it at your own discretion/risk.  (Or better yet, wait for an expert to 
chime in!)

Best of luck,

Re: 486SX, 100MB HDD - need FreeBSD, how?

[Technical Director]

Alex,

If your 486SX has a floppy that works then you are okay. FreeBSD will
install from 2 floppies, takes a little longer but still works. 

This IS based upon the assumption that you either have:

a) A CD-ROM on your 486SX and a FreeBSD CD-ROM.
b) A network card (or similar device eg: ppp) that can tie you to a
FreeBSD source.

You can find out more information here:

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install-pre.html

Also from the FreeBSD.org website:

3.4. What do I need in order to run FreeBSD?

You will need a 386 or better PC, with 5 MB or more of RAM and at least 60
MB of hard disk space. It can run with a low end MDA graphics card but to
run X11R6, a VGA or better video card is needed.

So you should be fine.

why do u want to double ur disk ? i have no knowledge about vinum yet
but some time ago i set up a mirror with linux which doubled the disks
automatically first time i add a new disk to the raid array ... guess
this would be similar with vinum (?)

i am not sure whether u can move partitions/slices in this way. if u
really wonna double ur disk
dd if=/dev/ad0 of=/dev/ad2 is the command i would use (NOT TESTED!)

Problems trying to boot from an 80GB Seagate

[Sean A Reith]

I'm trying to get my first FreeBSD (4.8-RELEASE) installation working, and
I am having trouble getting a system which boots, primarily due to what
appear to be disk geometry issues (but this is a complete newbie guess).

The hardware:
  Gigabyte GA-6BXC motherboard 

  (BIOS V.F4c )
  Celeron 366
  448 MB RAM
  Seagate ST380011A 80GB HDD

  Mitsumi CD-ROM FX320S
  Delta CD-Writer
  No FDD
  AcerLAN ALN-325 10/100 PCI Ethernet Adapter (Realtek 8139 chipset)
  Creative Soundblaster SB16 CT2960 ISA sound card
  Diamond Viper 330 AGP
  HP 4033B monitor

My first attempt at installing FreeBSD (using the bootable CDROM images
for 4.8-RELEASE) was rewarded with "Missing Operating System" on next
boot.  FreeBSD guesses the geometry as being 155061/16/63, which it
then discards as incorrect (the first time through the install I accepted
its assumed geometry of 9729/255/63).

The BIOS CMOS is configured to "Auto" detect the drives on boot, if I
change it to "User" it defaults to 38307/16/255 - but sysinstall/fdisk
rejects this geometry outright.

Next, I created a NTFS partition on the drive with an XP install CD,
and then booted from the FreeBSD install CDs with -v, and got the
following output:

BIOS Geometries:
  0:03fe0f3f 0..1022=1023 cylinders, 0..15=16 heads, 1..63=63 sectors
  0 accounted for
Device configuration finished

...

Creating DISK ad0
ar: FreeBSD check1 failed
ad0:  ATA-6 disk at ata0-master
ad0: 76319MB (156301488 sectors), 155061 C, 16H, 63S, 512B
ad0: piomode=4 dmamode=2 udmamode=5 cblid=1
ata1-master: piomode=4 dmamode=2 udmamode=4 dmaflag=1
ata1-master: success setting PIO4 on generic chip

So I tried installing with 1023/16/63.  Still the "Missing Operating
System" error.

Out of other ideas, I resorted to "Dangerous Dedicated", which at least
gave a different error:

No /boot/loader

>> FreeBSD/i386 BOOT
Default: 0:ad(0,a)/kernel
boot:
No /kernel

A bit of googling suggested 0:ad(0,c)/kernel as an alternative boot
command, but it had no greater success for my case.

So other suggestions would be appreciated!

As my plan is to use the machine as a dedicated server, "Dangeously
Dedicated" is not an issue for me, as long this won't be a problem
for future FreeBSD releases...?

It's also worth noting that I upgraded the BIOS to v.F4c as the
system would not boot with the ST380011A connected (BIOS hung trying to
display the drive size).  Interestingly the release notes state
"Support 75GB HDD", rather than 75GB+...  Particularly since
the FreeBSD sysinstall partitioning/slice tool reports the drive size
as 76319MB (less than 75GB), even though it is meant to be an 80GB
drive.

BTW, when installing/configuring XFree86 I selected "nv RIVA 128" as
my video card, as this seemed the closest to the Viper 330 (given I
understand it uses the Riva 128 chipset).  Is this the right selection?
If I try and run the graphical X-windows configuration tool it fails, so I
set the above through the curses interface...

Fare thee well,
Sean.

RE: firewall

[fbsd_user]

Your problem is that you are using the sample rules file provided by
IPFW.  You are correct, you do not understand what you are doing.
You are suppose to edit the sample rules file to create your own
rules file. That sample is only there as a starting point for you to
build your own rules. You need to do a lot of reading about ipfw
rules, check the man pages.

I know that the FBSD handbook gives the reader the impression that
IPFW is the only firewall available to FBSD, but that is a false
impression. FBSD has IPFILTER which is also a built in firewall like
IPFW and the netbsd firewall IPF has been ported to FBSD so there
other options. I have used both IPFW and IPFILTER, IPFW's keep state
rules do not function correctly on a DSL or cable internet
connection, it has just been upgraded in FBSD 5.2 with a lot fluff
that does nothing but confuses the general user.

For a newbe, you should use IPFILTER firewall. It's rules are
documented to all most anyone with some knowledge can write rules
unlike IPFW.


Here is my IPFILTER environment config.
I have also included some other hard to find kernel
internal knobs to add tighter packet security.

Re: Problem(s) resolving names with natd/ipfw.

[Jose Albores]

Just enabling named solved the problem. I only added two or three
"named_..." entries from /etc/default/rc.conf to /etc/rc.conf, changing
"NO" for "YES" and nothing else.
Even without modifying de default config files (named.conf and any
other, eventually) the FreeBSD gateway began to forward name-requests
without problems.

But I'm almost sure that none of the documents I read said it was
necessary to enable named in the gateway in order to resolve names.
Maybe this should be added o I should recheck.

Thank you very much. Your help was in fact extremely useful to me.

I also prefer sometimes to perform a few tasks with my personals
scripts and avoid the default programs doing them. As I review what I
wrote it seems that I know what exactly the program does!

Thanks again.

Half a minute reading the first, obvious, manual (usb(4)) told me that
you need the uhub device.  I don't know if that's all you need (you'll
probably need usbd(8) to attach devices, at a guess), but it's a start.

Re: Q: mergemaster 'm'-merge option results in empty file

'sdiff' does a side-by-side comparison of two files, and lets you
generate a file where some or all of those differences have been
merged together.  'left' and 'right' in this context refer to the two
columns that sdiff divides the screen into, where it shows you the
blocks of lines that differ between the two files you're comparing.

Perhaps an example is in order.  Run these commands to get two
different versions of the GENERIC kernel configuration from cvs:

# cd /tmp
# fetch -o GENERIC-CURRENT 
'http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/src/sys/i386/conf/GENERIC?rev=1.246.2.51.2.2&content-type=text/plain'
# fetch -o GENERIC-STABLE 
'http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/src/sys/i386/conf/GENERIC?rev=1.246.2.54&content-type=text/plain'

(As the names suggest, those are just the latest versions from the
HEAD and RELENG_4 branches)

Now, assuming you're in an xterm or similar, stretch the window until
it is at least 160 characters wide.  If you're in a fixed width
window, substitute the width of the window for the number after '-w'
below.  It's clearer to see what's going on if you can use as wide a
screen as possible.  Now run:

# setenv EDITOR=vi
# sdiff -o GENERIC.n -s -w 160 GENERIC-STABLE GENERIC-CURRENT

The first output you will see is:

# $FreeBSD: /repoman/r/ncvs/src/sys/i386/conf/GENERIC,v 1.246.2.54 2003/04/28 | # 
$FreeBSD: /repoman/r/ncvs/src/sys/i386/conf/GENERIC,v 1.246.2.51.2.2 2003/0
%

(Which probably won't make a lot of sense unless your mail client
doesn't automatically wrap long lines and you happen to be reading
this in a fairly wide screen)

What this is doing is asking which $FreeBSD$ tag should go into the
merged file.  Choose 'l' for the left-hand version, which comes from
GENERIC-STABLE. If you're in a narrow window, you probably can't
see the difference between those two lines as it's too far over to be
displayed.

The next chunk looks like:

  <
# FireWire support<
device  firewire# FireWire bus code   <
device  sbp # SCSI over FireWire (Requires scbus and da)  <
device  fwe # Ethernet over FireWire (non-standard!)  <
%

because the firewire support is only in the GENERIC-STABLE kernel config.

Here, choose 'r' for the right hand version which comes from
GENERIC-CURRENT.

What you should end up with is a new file GENERIC.n where:

% diff -u GENERIC-STABLE GENERIC.n

One thing that may trip you up: don't set your $EDITOR variable to
'emacs' -- because of the way emacs works by immediately copying the
temporary file sdiff(1) generates, and renaming the original as a
backup, it confuses sdiff(1), and you won't see any of your edits in
the output.  vi(1) just works directly on the temporary file and all
is well.

Matthew

I'm following up in -questions with a question of my own, point me to the
best place (-scsi or -stable?) and I'll happily repost my question in a
more suitable venue.

the related question I have been meaning to ask is which Fiber HBAs are
prople using with success on 4-STABLE?  (And have there been any notable
additions to 5-CUR for that matter?)

We love the JNIs on our Solaris boxes, but when I talked to Qlogic they
stated the semi-reasonable "we will support the hardware, but we don't do
anything with the driver and do not provide any support to FreeBSD"
response.  That aside, from looking at the isp(4) man page, it looks like
Qlogic hardware has fairly complete drivers.

So, what Fiber SCSI HBAs are people using out there, we'll have both PCI
and PCIX, mostly Dell 2550/2650/etc.  Any recommendations?

Because /var/empty should not be deleted.  Some programs use it.

Bus-error hardware or software?

[Mark]

Every once in a while, an httpd (Apache 3.28) child exits with a seg-fault of sorts. I 
hope someone can tell me whether or not this is hardware-related:

asarian-host.net kernel log messages:
> 9 10/100BaseTX> port 0xa000-0xa0ff mem 0xda00-0xdaff irq 11 at device 13.0 
> on pci0
> pid 15369 (httpd), uid 65534: exited on signal 11

asarian-host.net kernel log messages:
> daff irq 11 at device 13.0 on pci0
> pid 1478 (httpd), uid 65534: exited on signal 10

It seems to me a matter of software; a read on a wrong memory address, to be precise. 
But since the log talks about a device on a pci bus, and one of the signals is a bus 
error (signal 10), maybe it is hardware after all.

I must say, though, that I only ever experience this with the http daemon. The rest is 
rock-solid. Any diagnostic help is appreciated.

Re: how long is installation time

[David L]

16mb of ram and you want to run KDE? I dont think that all that good an idea. 
Try a light weight window manager  this site

http://www.plig.org/xwinman/others.html

has a list of heaps of different windows manager and desktops, try something 
labelled as minimalistic eg. fvwm or xfce maybe.

As far as installing it is concerned, your best bet is to go through 
/stand/sysinstall and select configure, then distibutions and select the 
Xfree distributions. once that is installed configure your x server ( 
configure=> xserver configuration once again in /stand/sysinstall )
and then install your windowmanager.

Hope that helps

Actually, this is quite a popular topic on the FreeBSD lists.  A few
moments searching a http://freebsd.rambler.ru/ will get you such handy
messages as:

http://freebsd.rambler.ru/bsdmail/freebsd-questions_2003/msg11082.html

or 

http://freebsd.rambler.ru/bsdmail/freebsd-isp_2001/msg01947.html

or

http://freebsd.rambler.ru/bsdmail/freebsd-chat_2002/msg01762.html

But note that Cyrus deliver has a built in 'sieve' function which will
do a lot of what procmail does, and it has a remote interface which is
handy when you want to set up a mail server box without giving login
accounts to all of your mail users.

Cheers,

Matthew

It doesn't look it's really made a diff, but your "net" settings should
be 192.168.0.0.  The rules you pasted would appear to allow your local
machine (192.168.0.2) out - the other interesting thing is that all of
the counters in your listing are 0.  If everything was totally broken I
would still expect to see the counters for rule 65535 with values.  Is
this box a gateway on your network or just another machine on the LAN?
What is the output of `ifconfig -a'?

alternatively, you could just launch xterm like:

$ xterm -tn xterm-color

it appears that you are using 4.8-RELEASE, but apparently sometime
around Aug 27, 2002 xterm's termcap entry supports color by default.
per /usr/src/UPDATING:

20020827:
Our /etc/termcap now has all the entries from the XFree86 xterm
almost unchanged. This means xterm now supports color by default.
If you used TERM=xterm-color in the past you now should use
TERM=xterm. (xterm-color will lead to benign warnings).

dd to duplicate a disk.

[Lewis Thompson]

Hi,

I'm trying to setup a vinum mirrored root fs.  I've not got very far
(although I have some excellent help once I get past this stage ;) --
I'm trying to duplicate my disk.

  Right now I have /dev/ad0s1(n) and I'd like an exactly copy of that
slice on /dev/ad2s1.  I've been trying to use dd (which I know very
little about):

dd if=/dev/ad0s1 of=/dev/ad2s1

I don't know if that's the right way to go about it or not, but I get
the error ``dd: /dev/ad2s1: Operation not permitted'', which leads me to
believe I've messed something up.  I'm in single user when trying to do
this and the /dev/ad0s1(n) partitions are mounted.

  Any tips would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks,

-lewiz.

What exactly does WinRar do that you want to replicate?
'Everything' is pretty broad.

how long is installation time

[radu.florin]

Hello,
I am a newbie, using Windows, a Mandrake Linux and a Slackware installed 
on my Athlon PC.
So I intended to test FreeBSD on my old PC:
Pentium, 133MHz, 16 Mo memory.
I used floppies as indicated ( I had to use the drivers one equally for my 
CD reader to be detected ).
The "base" has been installed in a moderate time.
But as I wanted to get graphics advantage, I choosed to add KDE tools, 
fonts, etc.
Install time: 16 hours (!). And I still don't have xf86cfg to get my 
graphic screen. (in what package is it ?)
So, my question: is the time duration normal ? And what is the minimum 
packages to install in
way to get a minimum of graphics, so usefull for a beginner .
Thank you

Re: mail server setup

[Technical Director]

Aaron,

First question you might want to answer is can I solve the relaying 
problem on the system I have now? Certainly "SCO Unix" is ugly to me,
but if it is working and your time is as limited as the rest you might be
best to upgrade to the lastest version of Sendmail. It not only fixes the
latest in known bugs/overflows in Sendmail, but by default rejects
relaying attempts.

R.
