using the Future Domain TMC-18C30 Scsi Card
Hi i like to begin by talking about my hardware. I have a Intel Pentium 200mmx computer with 64 megs of RAM. I am booting off of an ide drive(ad2s1a). The version is FreeBSD 4.9-production release. The problem i have is with a scsi card. It is a Future Domain TMC-18C30 with a boot bios ver. 3.3. I have a digital DSP3105 Hard drive ID4 hooked up to it. I have added the following to the Kernel and compiled it device stg0 at isa? port0x140 irq 11 device scbus0 at stg0 device da0 at scbus0 at target 4 unit 0 i have the scsi delay at 3 ms. The kernel boots and recognize the stg0 card. It also seems it sees the hard drive. But after recognizing the cd drive, the scsi bus tries to probe the bus and couldn't do it. The bus timeout and it dispays the targets 0-9. on the 4th target the message is different. It seems there is a device there. The bus tries to reset. and the cycle goes on for 20 minutes until the 4th message is the same as the other ones(meaning the hard drive is tired of sending info). then it mounts / and goes into multi-user. I couldn't get the dmesg because it doesn't contain everything except the bus reset. Any help will be appreciated.

Problem installing FreeBSD after Linux

There's no general way. Some ports do ${CFLAGS} -O999, some do -O999
${CFLAGS}. The ports collection policy is that any port that
specifies its own optimization flags by default and uses them in
preference to ${CFLAGS} is a bug and must be fixed.

Fsck complains during bootup but doesn't find anything to repair.
Hello, Given X not running, is there a way to interrupt/shutdown the system when it doesn't respond to ctrl^c? My Intel system running a recent 5.1-Release -> 5.2-Release upgrade hung when I typed 'xdm' for the first time. (Normally I start x with 'startx'.) I waited for a while, then powered down. Now the system boots with all four ad0sd1x partitions reporting Warning: 'NO WRITE' and 'UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY' during bootup. In single-user mode, I can remount them read/write, as I saw described in a mail thread: mount -u -o ro /dev/ad0sd1a / (example for /, also applies to /tmp, /var and /usr)... then run fsck: fsck / ... all mounts pass- fsck doesn't complain. But each time it boots, fsck run manually reports the same errors as above for all the hard drive mounts. So, to summarize: Question 1: is there a way to shutdown the system properly when it hangs on starting X? I tried logging in remotely and couldn't- apparently sshd wasn't happy. Question 2: what might I do to repair my filesystems or hard drive if either is broken, given that fsck run manually doesn't complain or fix anything once the filesystems have been remounted r/w? (Question 3: why does fsck seem to contradict itself, reporting errors during bootup but not when run manually in single-user mode?) --Mark Hessler, excited new migrant from microsoft. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Now all I need is for the FreeBSD to proxy ARP on the aa.bb.cc.0/24 network on behalf of aa.bb.cc.2 so it can forward traffic for the inside host. So this is what I try, having never done static ARP stuff before on FreeBSD: arp -s aa.bb.cc.2 00:11:22:aa:bb:cc pub (Side question: What's the difference between this command and the same command adding the keyword 'only' at the end?

That's not a good assumption; many ports simply add -O2 (or -O3, or -O999) because the authors "want their code to run fast".

need help on CFLAGS in /etc/make.conf please
Hi y'all, I'm trying to find a way to do a CFLAGS+='-O' if and only if such a parm was not already provided before 'make' actually runs. I had this coded with the single = sign, i.e. without ?= or +=, but the process still acts as if += was coded anyway, thus tacking on my -O *after* the port's own CFLAGS. GCC33 docs say the _last_ -O# is the one that will be used. I've seen other discussion on using -O2 but the point seems to be the ports that set -O2 explicitly are likely to work correctly. And so, in many ports esp. KDE, it will add my -O *after* the port's own -O2, and KDE et al will not be compiled with the intended settings, which may be causing some of its slowness. Since TPTB here could only find a spare [EMAIL PROTECTED] Pentium2 for this project, I'm trying to optimize other ports with at least -O in an automatic fashion. That leaves out /etc/pkgtools.conf due to the sheer manual labor it would take to code this up for each port. The idea of having a test in /etc/make.conf struck me as the way to go, since it is effectively 'sourced'-in and could contain some simple shell logic operations. I hope I'm explaining this correctly. ;) I'd love to hear feedback on this. I'll continue working on it tomorrow. Thank you, -- Paul Seniura System Specialist State of Okla.

what is your favorite kernel patch revolving around networking.
Hello, In the last few months I have used successfully two different kernel patches that helped solved problems I had. The first is the multiple ip jail patch by Pawel Dawidek. His site is at garage.freebsd.pl. He really saved the day for me when my jailed stats machine needed to get data from a different segment of the LAN. When my jailed nameserver had 3 ips. etc... I used 4.9-REL and patched by hand for the learning exp. The second kernel patch I used to solve a problem was the Multipath route table ported to 4.8 by Ed Tanzer. <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>. http://www.dsm.fordham.edu/~tanzer/multipath/ The original author is <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>. I had a FreeBSD machine with 5 nics. One nic was the uplink. The other 4 went to NET2NET dsl boxes. Those 4 pairs went via telephone pole to the local fire department/townhall. They went into their matching NET2NET box into a Cabletron SSR with already could do routes with multiple gateways. If a NET2NET box failed, watch out for 25% packet loss! This patch did not remove the gateway if it went down. Happened to me once. My question is, what kernel patches have you used to solve networking problems on FreeBSD that the releases couldn't do? I would be very interested in your opinion and a link to the creator's site. I would like to say thank you to the authors of the above patches if you are reading this.

how to enable automatic acoustic management ?

Are you using NAT to allow the systems behind a firewall to share the IP address of the firewall? If so, it is most likely systems behind the firewalls that are infected, not the firewalls themselves. If they are monitoring network traffic and seeing suspicious activity, NAT would cause it to have the IP number of your firewall and they would naturally assume that was the infected system. If you literally mean "network scan" rather than "network monitoring" (i.e. they are actively probing systems for vulnerabilities, not just monitoring network traffic), then ask them which open ports (or other behavior) on the firewalls lead them to believe they are infected, and report that to the list. We can probably explain it then. - Bob ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

RE: hostname and dhcp
I guess I just won't worry about it then. It only prevents me from using send-pr (and in fact, I think I still wouldn't be able to use it because I'm pretty sure my smtp server requires me to log in), and every once in a while I have to change it in order for sshd, freenet6, and httpd to start. That part is very odd, actually. I had hostname="lojak.washington.edu" but recently things decided they didn't like that, so I changed it to hostname="lojak" and then it worked, but when I rebooted a few days later, I had to change it back.

Now if you are an commercial user with an officially registered domain name and static ip address from your ISP, Your ISP has you in their DHCP server with your FQDN and it's being sent to your system when you get an new lease. The FBSD built in DHCP client is not configured to accept that info which will auto populate the hostname= environment variable. Install the DHCP package on you system and configure It's client to accept that info. If you are not an commercial user, then the host name the ISP uses for you is meaningless to you. If you have officially registered domain name then use that in your hostname= statement, like this, hostname="cyberbaby.com", then that FQDN will be what sendmail uses for all the users on your LAN. Then use DHCP server to pass the major FQDN to all LAN PC, and those systems will append to the front their system names and tell your DHCP server their full name. If you do not have LAN or officially registered domain name, then all you need, is to meet the domain nameing convention, something.com and you are all set go. IE: hostname="home.FBSDyourLastName.com". As far as reverse lookup goes, that is only on officially registered domain names, either yours, which really happens at the registry hosting your domain name, or at the ISP if your using their email servers. On your system the value you use in hostname= should also be in the /etc/hosts file like this # ::1 localhost localhost.my.domain 127.0.0.1 localhost home.FBSDyourLastName.com FBSDyourLastName.com # Hope this helps Joe -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Evan Dower Sent: Thursday, February 12, 2004 1:15 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: hostname and dhcp Hmm...

To clarify this, since I'm editing my silly typo below, personally, I think I would reinstall in the current situation. I just meant it's probably not urgently in need of doing right this minute just to get KDE running.

At this point it doesn't matter, you have demonstrated that it doesn't work for you. Now, you have to figure out what does work for you. My /usr/ports shows 2.5GB for a du -h. There are probably a number of other directories that you want to link to /home.

On one system, /usr/ports is mounted in /etc/fstab and has 10GB all for itself. You have to be flexible and figure out what works for you.

routing, 2 nics, and a default gateways
Hi list, I need help on this problem: I have 2 nics. The first has about 30 ips assigned to it and working correctly. The other was a backup nic for the ISP backup network, but its now I was asked to assign ips and a default gateway specification to it,because we ran out of usable ips on the 1st nic, so we have a new netblock ready for assignment. The trouble is, I don't know how to this remotely without cutting the internet access from this server. I thought on adding the ips to the 2nd nic (about 60 of them), but I don't know how I can make the default route for this nic to work. As far as i know, as soon as I type route add default gateway-of-2nd-nick ,the internet connection will be dropped. I don't know, have never tried this kind of setup.

Re: /tmp full (newbie)
Today I tried to install a new browser and I got the information that my filesystem is full. When I tried to start KDE I got the message that /tmp is full. Hello! there are some useful tools for changing size of partition. Look for "FIPS" and remember to backup your data. Tools that dynamically change partitions, can make some damage. Next time you'll be installing OS, remember to distribute some more disk space for dirs like /var /tmp /usr. __ There are 10 kinds of people those who understand binary and those who don't.

Plus various other random things. I would hate to see how much you'd have to install to fill up 20 Gb of /usr, especially with a separate /home.On the other hand, I can find a million ways to fill up as much /home as I'm given, and I frequently do (fill it up, that is) With some judicious cleaning up of the cruft in /usr/ports/* (try portsclean, part of the portupgrade suited), possibly nuking /usr/obj (although you'll want space back for that if you build world again) and some investigation into maybe rolling over logs more often, and emptying out /tmp, there's no pressing reason the OP should need to repartiiton and reinstall, especially not for the sake of either KDE or GNOME. I think for most people the installers auto defaults are not pretty workable, and that merging the suggested file systems is probably not advisable until you have more experience with the system and know what your pattern of usage really is.

The problem with the current scheme is you have only 4Gb or so for everything apart from /home - I don't have KDE / X installed, but I'm fairly sure KDE on it's own would eat up 3-4Gb of space without too much problem. If you reinstalled I'd say assign 20Gb to /usr if you're going to use KDE. Another alternative might be to get rid of KDE and try something more economic - like blackbox or wm - although if you're not too comfortable with the shell those might not be the best for you. -- Jez Hancock - System Administrator / PHP Developer http://munk.nu/ http://jez.hancock-family.com/ - Another FreeBSD Diary http://ipfwstats.sf.net/- ipfw peruser traffic logging ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

nasm, ld, libc, and **environ
Hi all. I am trying to learn asm with NASM on a FreeBSD system. I really need to debug my programs while I learn, so I want to use printf. This is what I am using to assemble and link: nasm -f elf use_printf.asm ld -o use_printf use_printf.asm -lc but then when I run the program: $./use_printf /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: /lib/libc.so.5: Undefined symbol "environ" If I try to use static linking, I get this: $ld -static -o use_printf use_printf.asm -lc /usr/lib/libc.a(getenv.o): In function `getenv': getenv.o(.text+0x19): undefined reference to `environ' getenv.o(.text+0x29): undefined reference to `environ' getenv.o(.text+0x63): undefined reference to `environ' /usr/lib/libc.a(getenv.o): In function `__findenv': getenv.o(.text+0xd5): undefined reference to `environ' getenv.o(.text+0xe2): undefined reference to `environ' /usr/lib/libc.a(getenv.o)(.text+0x113): more undefined references to `environ' follow /usr/lib/libc.a(getprogname.o): In function `_getprogname': getprogname.o(.text+0x4): undefined reference to `__progname' Can somebody see where I am going wrong? This is kindof holding me back. I added the 'extern environ' and 'extern __progname' beause I get this otherwise: (when NOT using -static) /usr/lib/libc.so: undefined reference to `environ' /usr/lib/libc.so: undefined reference to `__progname' Here's what I have: ;; BEGIN CODE extern printf extern environ extern __progname section .data mesgdb 'the number is %d\n',0 mesglen equ $-mesg errormesg db 'libc error',0ah,0 errormesglenequ $-errormesg newline db 10 number dw 0x10 kernel: int 80h ret align 4 section .text global _start _start: ; call printf from libc push dword number push dword mesg call printf ; error if eax < 1 ( we should have wrote some chars ) cmp eax , 0x1 jl .error ; use write() system call to print message pushdword mesglen pushdword mesg pushdword 0x1 ; stdout mov eax , 0x4 ; 4 == write system call callkernel ; output a newline pushdword 1 pushdword newline pushdword 0x1 mov eax , 0x4 callkernel mov eax , 0x1 ; exit syscall number push dword 0x0 ; exit status call kernel .error: push dword errormesglen push dword errormesg push dword 0x1 mov eax , 0x4 callkernel mov eax , 0x1 pushdword 0xff callkernel END CODE ;;; Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

stupid packages question
Hello, I'm sure there is an easy answer to this that I just haven't been able to gleen from reading stuff: How can I make packages for all the depencies of a package that I'm trying to create in one fell swoop? Example: If I go into /usr/ports/sysutils/portupgrade and type "make package" it builds a nice package that I can send to other machines to install, but then of course I will need to install all the depencies first, which means I have to go back to my build box, find all the sources and "make package" on all of them. Kinda tedious. Is there an easier way? I've read about "make package" in about 5 different docs/books, but none of the mention this problem. Thanks for any info. -DW ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Hardware vs software firewall on FreeBSD
I'm upgrading the hardware on my webserver. It will run FreeBSD 4.9. I need to decide whether to use a hardware firewall (Cisco) or use ipfw, ipf, pf, etc. The hardware firewall will increase my monthly server rental bill by almost 30%. So I'm wondering if the significant extra cost is worth it. What kind of performance hit will result from using ipfw, ipf or pf? I would like to avoid the extra expense of the hardware firewall. Can anyone offer an opinion on this matter? Any good reasons to use one over the other?

RE: hostname and dhcp
If I understand you correctly, you are talking about your system which is connected to the public internet, and you are using the FBSD built in DHCP client to get an lease from your ISP. Now if you are an commercial user with an officially registered domain name and static ip address from your ISP, Your ISP has you in their DHCP server with your FQDN and it's being sent to your system when you get an new lease. The FBSD built in DHCP client is not configured to accept that info which will auto populate the hostname= environment variable. Install the DHCP package on you system and configure It's client to accept that info. If you are not an commercial user, then the host name the ISP uses for you is meaningless to you. If you have officially registered domain name then use that in your hostname= statement, like this, hostname="cyberbaby.com", then that FQDN will be what sendmail uses for all the users on your LAN. Then use DHCP server to pass the major FQDN to all LAN PC, and those systems will append to the front their system names and tell your DHCP server their full name. If you do not have LAN or officially registered domain name, then all you need, is to meet the domain nameing convention, something.com and you are all set go. IE: hostname="home.FBSDyourLastName.com". As far as reverse lookup goes, that is only on officially registered domain names, either yours, which really happens at the registry hosting your domain name, or at the ISP if your using their email servers. On your system the value you use in hostname= should also be in the /etc/hosts file like this # ::1 localhost localhost.my.domain 127.0.0.1 localhost home.FBSDyourLastName.com FBSDyourLastName.com # Hope this helps Joe -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Evan Dower Sent: Thursday, February 12, 2004 1:15 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: hostname and dhcp Hmm...

If you're using DHCP to set up your network though, your FQDN (fully qualified domain name) can change without notice.
