I miss a path directive in your home dir configuration. Asfar as I

You need "device miibus" in your kernel config if you want to use "device
rl".
I always wonder why there has not yet been constructed a mechanism that
automatically pulls in devices that are needed to prevent compile failure.
It wouldn't be too difficult, I assume, to have "device miibus" pulled
in, when needed for certain devices.
Or is there a good reason to allow people to compile, for example
"device rl", without the miibus device?
Having such a mechanism, would prevent lots of beginners in the
kernel compiling stuff, to get frustrated with errors like above.

Make sure that the file system(s) on the USB drive are supported by
mtools (assuming of course that your FreeBSD system can recognize
the usb device).  Nothing more.

Re: Partition sizes

For that big a main disk, my likely division would be something like:

   / 512 MB
   swap  1.25 GB
   /tmp  512 MB
   /usr  2 GB
   /var  4 GB
   /home all remaining disk - probably be about 66 GB before newfsing.

Then, I wouldn't have a separate /usr/local or /var/tmp partitions.
I would use /tmp for tmp stuff and since /var is big, not worry about 
the few things that want to assume tmp is in var.
For /usr/local, /usr/src and /usr/ports, I would copy them 
in to home as /home/usr.local  /home/usr.src and /home/usr.ports and 
then make sym links to them in /usr
If that sounds confusing, check the archive.  I and several others
have posted detailed steps to do it several times over the last year
or so.

If you are going to do a database or something that will really
eat up space in /var, then you might want to move some of that
to /home in a similar manner.  If you don't have any of that
stuff, you might want to cut /var in half.   If you install Apache
(or another web server), this should accomodate that too.  You would
most likely be putting your document root in something that lives
in /home -   maybe in /usr/local  (which is really /home/usr.local)
or just in /home/some_user_id/www   or whatever so since the big
user of space is the web pages themselves, it will be using up the
most space in /home too.

Have fun,

jerry

You need "device miibus" in your kernel config if you want to use "device

Got to be careful how you word it; it doesn't even mean that, cause there
are so many corner cases that memory needs to meet, really needs it, and
the electrical checks are unbelieveably thin.  I know YOU know that, but
we're writing for the newbies, they're going to take you at your words
here, and that check, it's so useless.

Something like looking at your car's fuel guage to tell if your car is
working.  If the fuel guage reads 3/4 full, it does't say much about the
state of your spark plugs, does it?  Unfortunately, that IS a fair
analogy.  Now, let the newbies read that one, it's accurate, far as it
goes.

You have to realize, newbies will guess, if you don't give them enough
data, they're not stupid, just ignorant, so be careful what sort of
guessing data you give them.

It's total rubbish, the only thing you can say is, it tells you that there
is a possiblity that the memory *might* be installed.  It's really more
helpful in the negative: if it tells you that you DON'T have memory, it's
confirming a problem, but that the memory is OK?  Utterly worthless.

This is a problem mainly because, well, you NEED the function, and it's so
convenient just to say "hey, they wrote it to check memory, it wouldn't be
there otherwise".  Too bad that it's just totally a waste of your time.

Experienced hackers already know this sad news, I'm just posting this to
FreeBSD-questions, to the newbies who might otherwise be led astray.

That just tests that the RAM is accessible (ie, electrical interface is
sound).

And it's for this very reason that I often keep a few extra sticks of memory
lying around my office.  When a system starts acting wonky (intermittent
crashes, especially under load like during a buildworld or heavy
spamassassin/razor activity), I take it offline, swap memory, and see if the
bad behaviour continues.  If it does, I'm no worse off than before.  If it
doesn't, I have a pretty good confidence level in saying that the memory was
bad.

While this method may seem somewhat brute-force-ish, it's often much quicker
and easier than futzing around with memtest and guessing.
Given the cost of memory these days, swapping it out is generally cheaper
than the cost of random downtime and recovering from crashes in a production
environment.

 Hi  Edvard,

I am having the same problem as you, but have yet to find a fix,
but after trial and error I have found that slowing the write speed
down will help.  My 4x limited to -speed=3 works. Not a fix but saves
coasters.

Playing DVD movies with Xine

I don't want to embarrass anyone here, but something needs to be said.
Note this next sentence carefully: THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A WORKING
MEMORY TEST PROGRAM!!!

Anyone who tells you otherwise is no friend of yours, because they are
making your life hard.  It's very alluring to assume that programs written
to do a job actually do that job, and most especially in the case of
memory test, one would *really* **REALLY** wish that Chuck here was lying,
cause you honestly need a memory test program, but the truth is otherwise:
memory test programs don't work.  At the very best, if they spend 30
minutes carefully exercising memory, you get a factor that is maybe 10%
reliable, and 90% wishful guessing.

With that in mind, sometimes, the very best memory test programs can give
you better ideas that memory you thought was failing IS failing.  The
opposite, proving that memory is good, is just totally, totally useless,
you cannot take any data home at all about your memory being good.

How to boot FreeBSD from a slave IDE disk

[rain cip]

Hello, 
 
I hope I can get some help from this list to figure out how to boot FreeBSD 
from a slave drive.  My PC has two disks.  The sysinstall sees both: ad0 and 
ad3.  My hardware configuration is such:
 
ad0 -- primary IDE, master  (all for Win2k)
ad3 -- secondary IDE, slave (all for FreeBSD 5.3)
 
No more device on the primary IDE while a CD drive acts as the master on the 
secondary IDE.
 
I used the entire space on ad3 for a FreeBSD 5.3 release installation while the 
ad0 contains my old Win 2k.  The problem now is that I can't boot FreeBSD at 
all even though I had selected "install boot manager" during the installation.  
The PC went straight to Win2k every time I booted.  I tried to reboot from the 
distribution CDROM and used the FDISK utility to make sure that the FreeBSD 
slice is flagged as "A=" but it did nothing.  In the BIOS setting, I selected 
the slave drive, i.e. ad3, to be the first boot device, and the ad0 to be 
second.  Still, I couldn't get to FreeBSD.
 
It appears to me that I did not have the boot manager installed on the ad0.  
But when I tried to "install boot manager" onto the ad0, the fdisk gave me no 
hint where to write the MBR.  Basically what I did was:
 
select "install boot manager"
select "ad0"
hit the "q" key
select "install boot manager"
select "ad3"
hit the "q" key
 
I know I must have done something wrong.  But what did I do wrong?

This is definitely a DOSism.  On UNIX, most of the functionality in conio.h
can be found in stdio.h or curses.h.

stdprn is definitely another DOSism.

If you want to print directly to a printer, you have a bunch of choices:
1) write the output to a temporary file, and then use lpr to print the file
to a printer (defined in /etc/printcap)
2) open a stream to /dev/lpt0 and fprintf directly to it -- this assumes
that your printer is attached to parallel port 1.

Regardless, you should convert your code to use fgets(), as it prevents
against buffer overflow problems.

The  version of getch() should work fine, although you could use
fgets() from stdin instead.

I suggest you learn one function well, then expand from there. fprintf 
is a good place to start. 

man 3 fprintf has the following:

LIBRARY
 Standard C Library (libc, -lc)

means this command is in libc, 

lib is always stripped when you use -l to include a library
when you compile so -lc means include libc.
-lc is automatically included when you compile with gcc
so you usually don't need it.

SYNOPSIS
 #include 

that means include stdio.h when you use fprintf

fprintf(stdout, "hello\n") will print to the screen
and so will fprintf(stderr, "hello\n").  You can replace
stdout/stderr with a filestream for example:

sample code:

#include

FILE*   fileStream;
fileStream  = fopen( "hello.txt", "w");
fprintf( stdout,"hello\n");
fprintf( fileStream,"hello\n");
fclose(fileStream);

save as hello.c
compile with
gcc hellow.c -o hello
run and it will print "hello" to the screen and create a file
"hello.txt" with hello printed in the file.

Once your really comfortable with fprintf then look up the man
page and google the next command you want to learn.  Google
beats any programming books in my opinion once you learn to use it.

If you get stuck on one specific command, feel free to email me directly
and I'll give you a pointer if I know it.

At least that is what I think.  Still trying to install KDE and got

I think they are probably wrong.

1) gcc complains that  was not found.  If I comment out the 
#include, the program compiles.  Is this a DOSism or something else?
I don't know if it's a DOSism, but it's definitely not a standard header 
file in the UNIX world.  I've never encountered it outside of Microsoft 
systems.


2) fprintf is described with stdprn being valid for a default printer. This

Sorry, not sure about this, but again, it sounds like a DOS (or MS)

'gets()' will still work, but its use isn't advised.  If you're just using 
it in test programs, though, it's not a big deal.


4) A couple of the home work assignments use getch().  I figured out from the

/var/tmp//cc1GEzyG.o(.text+0x6f): In function `main':

I do not know what header file I should be including.
Or is there something else I'm not understanding?
I think the real problem hear is that the getch() the example is 
referencing is actually a function found in conio.h.  The getch() in

Partition sizes

[Trey Sizemore]

I'll be installing FBSD 5.3 on an 80GB hard drive (machine has 512MB of
RAM) and was considering the following partitions:

/
/usr
/usr/local
/var
/var/tmp
/tmp
/home
SWAP

I'm looking for some recommendations around what the partition sizes
should be assuming I'm allocating the entire disk to FreeBSD.  It will
be a used as a desktop and not a server, but I'd be curious about the
sizing differences as I'll be setting up a similar machine as a
mail/FTP/web server.

Thanks.

A video CD does not have a filesystem, therefore it can't be mounted.
You may be able to play it with the appropriate program, or extract the

Thanks for the offer, although it may not be logged so you'd have to
have transcribed it by hand during boot (e.g. pause the display with
the pause key to give you time to copy it down, or use the scroll lock
and then page up back to it after the system has booted)

Yes, putting a "0" in the sixth field takes care of the problem and the

I don't remember DOS having any concept of a default printer, and a
vague recollection of stdprn actually being something more like UNIX's
stdout.  But I could be misremembering.

fgets take three parameters, and I only see two there.  It looks like
you need fgets(rec.fname,sizeof(rec.fname),stdin) or something of the
like.  gets() is vulnerable to buffer-overflows, but if you're just
writing some quick, throw-away programs, it doesn't really matter.  On
the other hand, no reason not to get used to doing something more
correct.

I believe you will need -lcurses in your gcc command to link against
the curses library.  The headers declare the functions, but the actual
machine code has to come from the library.

Where did you read about putting these variables in .netrc?  They're
environment variables and should be set in the environment, e.g. in
your shell login script.

random reboots on 5.3 with securelevel 1/2

[J.D. Bronson]

I am at a loss on this one..
If I set securelevel at 1 or 2, the 5.3-REL machine will randomly reboot. 
No logs - nothing on the console...just as if someone hit reboot.

No one logged in during this time either. I removed WAN access from this 
box as well.

As long as I run the default level (-1) - I never see this machine reboot.
All it does is run postfix/bind...not X or anything. It is a headless machine.
Ideas? things to check?
I can run at default level for weeks, but cannot run at any secure level 
for more than a few hours.

OT: Trying to learn C -- some questions

[Tom Parquette]

Hi.  This is a little off topic but I'm hoping someone can provide some 
guidance and answer a few questions.  TIA.

I'm trying to learn ANSI C using a book circa 1994.  It is written from 
a DOS perspective.
Someone at work, who knows a little C, told me that the book was "close 
enough".
I'm having some trouble with some of the "homework" in the book.
I think I know some of the answers but I would like to confirm my 
understanding.
Some of the following I have no clue about.

1) gcc complains that  was not found.  If I comment out the 
#include, the program compiles.  Is this a DOSism or something else?

2) fprintf is described with stdprn being valid for a default printer. 
This does not seem to be valid in, at least, the FreeBSD world.  man 
fprintf did not really help.  I believe I have to create a stream for 
the print but I'm not clear on how to do it.

3) gets() is used in a number of places.  Using this gets me:
/var/tmp//cciWrf9n.o(.text+0x20d): In function `get_data':
: warning: warning: this program uses gets(), which is unsafe.
I looked at the man page and found fgets.  I do not understand from the 
fgets man page how I'm supposed to code this.  I've tried a number of 
things along the lines of
fgets(rec.fname,sizeof(rec.fname));
but gcc does not like anything I've tried.  It keeps telling me I have 
"too few arguments fo function `fgets'"  Help!

4) A couple of the home work assignments use getch().  I figured out 
from the getch man page that I needed "#include " but that 
changes the errors to:
/var/tmp//cc1GEzyG.o(.text+0x6a): In function `main':
: undefined reference to `stdscr'
/var/tmp//cc1GEzyG.o(.text+0x6f): In function `main':
: undefined reference to `wgetch'
I do not know what header file I should be including.
Or is there something else I'm not understanding?

Thanks...

problems with http in fetch for ports

[timopie]

Hi everyone,
My primary internet access is at University (secondary is at home an a 
56k modem). When I want to use ftp, or cvsup, I have to log onto the 
firewall in order to access the needed ports.  This works great. The 
only time I ever have a problem is when fetch tries to access files 
through http rather than ftp (as are most of the files I want in the 
ports collection). I can get the files manually with firefox, but it is 
very slow and painful. I tried setting up a .netrc file in /root 
defining HTTP_PROXY and HTTP_PROXY_AUTH (using the username and password 
I use to access outside websites) but it still does not fetch through 
the http. It will sit waiting for quite a few minutes until it times out 
and goes to the next site on the list - and when getting something from 
sourceforge it takes forever just to begin downloading anything when it 
finally comes across an ftp.
Is there either a way to make it access http as well as ftp, or is there 
someway I can tell fetch to ignore or skip the http files and just use 
the ftp files, usually at the end of the list.

cheers,
Tim

Re: shell programming challenge

[Adam Fabian]

It's possible to generate temporary files in a secure manner; there's
probably something in the ports collection to generate good, random
file names.  I'm not sure I'd go to so much trouble to avoid using
a file for --init-file or --rc-file.

That aside, you could try using expect to script the bash session.

OK, I think I've found what you're looking for:

xterm -e "/usr/local/bin/bash --rcfile bash_commands -i"

Substitute your program's startup script for "bash_commands" in the
above.  Using the "-i" switch to bash forces interactive mode, so when
the script exits, you'll be returned to the shell prompt in the xterm.
As it turns out, xterm's "-hold" switch is wholly unnecessary here.

Note that the "--rcfile" switch, being a "double-hyphened" option, must
precede the later "-i" switch in order to be recognized.

Tar -N date error?

[Mike Jeays]

I have trouble with tar's -N format with 5.1 (yes, I am going to upgrade
to 5.3 this weekend).

Commands such as 
tar -cvzf arch.tar.gz -N '2004-09-01' * 
and 
tar -cvzf arch.tar.gz -N'10 days ago' * 
work fine for periods in the recent past (up to about 40 days), but for
more than that, everything in the directory gets archived.  It worked
fine with a version of Cygwin at work on a Windows machine.

Any clues, please?

Seems to have fixed that problem, thanks Kris.
Looks like I may have to do a clean reinstall anyway though as I have had 
2 more hard crashes since then for no reason I can yet pin down,
the only semi useful log entry i have is:

Think i'll try a clean install and see if thats more stable.
I guess the upgrade to 5.3 from 5.2.1 didnt go as well as I thought, which 
is a shame since my laptop upgraded from 5.2.1 to 5.3-current to 
5.3-stable with no issues.

When I do this, the program works & interacts, but the xterm dies upon

before the xterm launch.

man xterm.  There *is* an option to keep the term open after executing a

Yes, as another shared: -hold. Unfortunately, it doesn't return to shell 
prompt. The program is interactive until the program terminates, but I 
don't get a prompt back from the underlying shell.

These merely indicate connection *attempts*, not actual successful

/var/log/security, /var/log/ipfw.*, /var/log/messages, and so on.

With a more "stealthy" firewall setup, you wouldn't even be seeing these
connection attempt logs, as these outsiders would never even manage to
reach your machine at all.

One possibility is  using something other than fetch, take a look at

I don't think this is a problem with the card or the volume.  I see
this a lot on FreeBSD, since 4.8.  Matter of fact, I just tried playing
a wmv file with mplayer, and got no sound.  It was working fine
before.

Every once in awhile my sound just disappears.  Now, even a simple
waveplay command acts like it's doing its job, but nothing comes out.
Catting a .au file directly to the /dev/audio0.* devices just
announces that the device is busy.

The only thing that brings the sound back is a reboot, which
isn't an option I really like.

The card on this particular machine is an onboard Intel 5.1 sound
chip.  How the heck am I supposed to reset these devices?  There's
nothing in the handbook or FAQ that I could find.

Write failure on transfer for FTP install

[Erik Norgaard]

Hi,
I am trying to install via FTP, interactive or scripted install gives 
the same result:

  Write failure on transfer! (wrote -1 bytes of 1425408 bytes)
after fetching first chunk - I have tried multiple ftp sites.
sysinstall complains about the diskgeometry:
WARNING: A geometry of 116280/16/63 on ad0 isincorrect. Using a more 
likely gemoetry

CYL/HEAD/SEC:
Label on disk says: 16383/16/63
BIOS says: 28728/16/255
kernel says: 116280/16/63
sysinstall says: 7296/255/63
It may all have gone wrong because I first had "diskpartion=exclusive" 
rather than "all". This is a Hitachi Travelstar ~60GB (57231MB), I have 
previously had FBSD 4.10 on it.

Even if I accept sysinstalls suggenstions and partion the disk as I 
normally would, it then fails with the write error.

Any ideas on this?
Thanks, Erik

Mailing-lists behaviour on bounce

[Jeremie Le Hen]

Hi,

I recently have a problem with my primary mail server and some mails
have bounced today.  Now, everything seems to work.  I know that
FreeBSD mail servers handle a very large amount of mail addresses, so
I don't expect them to defer bounced mails for the next five days as
classical mail servers usually do.  I checked my subscritions on the
Mailman interface on FreeBSD wedsite and my "bounce score" is actually
1.0.  I wonder whether I'm going to get the bounced mails later in the
night or if they are lost forever because of a drastic policy and I'll
have to browse the archives to read them.

Please include me in the reply since I am not subscribed to this list.

Thanks.

Time sync with NTP questions

[Michael Collette]

On my network I have a machine in my DMZ I wish to use NTP to 
synchronize to a public server for it's time.  I then want to have 
another machine in my private network synchronize time to this box in 
the DMZ.  From there I want to have all my other machines in my private 
network to sync in to it.

Boy I hope that makes sense.  Just in case, a fun filled ASCII diagram
Public NTP Server
|
DMZ Server
|
  Private Server
|
All the rest of my servers
All my boxes are running 5.3-STABLE.
I have my DMZ box connecting to public NTP servers through my firewall 
now.  That part works great.  Able to ntpdate and run ntpd.

My private server is able to both ntpdate and ntpd to a public server. 
What I can't seem to get going here is to have the private server 
synchronize to the DMZ server with NTP.  Also can't get other machines 
sync in with what I want to be my primary NTP server on the private 
network.  Heck, I can't seem to get any two FreeBSD boxes to sync with 
eachother.

I've also been trying to get this to play with two boxes on the same 
subnet.  I can get one box to sync to another using timed, but I can't 
seem to get ntp to work.  I conistently get...

"no server suitable for synchronization found"
The client side can query what I'd like to be the ntp server with ntpq, 
but ntpdate or ntp -q always fail.  The client IS able to ntpdate to a 
public server.

The server has the following rc.conf flags...
ntpdate_enable="YES"
ntpdate_flags="ntp.ucsd.edu"
ntpd_enable="YES"
ntpd_flags="-A -c /etc/ntp.conf -p /var/run/ntpd.pid -f /etc/ntp/ntpd.drift"
/etc/ntp.conf looks very similar too...
server ntp.somedomain.com
restrict ntp.somedomain.com mask 255.255.255.255 nomodify notrap noquery
restrict 192.168.1.0 mask 255.255.255.0 notrust nomodify notrap
restrict 127.0.0.1
driftfile /etc/ntp/ntp.drift
There's actually 5 public NTP servers configured in my real ntp.conf and 
they all seem to work.  192.168.1.0 is, of course, where my clients 
would query this server.

So what am I missing here to make a working NTP server for my network??
Thanks,

If you mean that you want the xterm to continue running the same

That's what I don't want to do. I could cat the rcfile and the command

I'm actually eval'ing this command from another larger program and 
passing prog-to-be-run from it's argument string after a -e switch. This 
is to be generalized; I don't know what prog-to-be-run is going to be.

I think so...

[from man securelevel, or man init(8)]

2  Highly secure mode - same as secure mode, plus disks may not be
   opened for writing (except by mount(2)) whether mounted or not.
   This level precludes tampering with file systems by unmounting
   them, but also inhibits running newfs(8) while the system is multi-

Oops.  Didn't notice this until after I replied, but I did test the
--rcfile to see if it would work, and it worked like I expected and
you described.  For reference, it worked for me under FreeBSD 5.3 with
bash 2.05b, which I believe was installed from FreeBSD's binary

Hello,
I've set up a FreeBSD box to provide my home network a NAT access to

Given this, I do not understand why it works on the DNS box and not on
the client.

I believe this might mean you don't have reverse DNS setup on your
server for you local network.
i.e. when you use nslookup it tries finding out the corresponding
hostname for it's own IP address. So if you have an IP address of
192.168.0.100 on the box that is having trouble with nslookup, you
will need to define what hostname that IP address map's to on your DNS
server.
You need to have the following in named.conf and the corresponding
zone file
zone "0.168.192.in-addr.arpa" {
type master;
file "localnetwork.rev";
};
which defines your home network and their IP address etc ...
Hope this helps.
David
PS - dig doesn't suffer from those problems AFAIK, so you may be
better of using dig.
Thank you for your reply.
I understand that adding a reverse dns zone may solve this problem, but 
I don't understand why nslookup doesn't output the error when used on 
the dns box itself.
It's the same process that is used, it should be the same error ?

What am I missing here ?

a program within that xterm, but NOT close the new xterm after the 
program finishes. Another desirable thing would be to also be able to 
'source in' a file of shell environment that would affect the new window 
 and shell.

Here's what I've found out so far:
Assume we have an executable test file 'ticktock':
#!/bin/sh
for n in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
do
  echo "$n MYVAR=$MYVAR"
  sleep 1
  echo -n "continue? "
  read reply
done
# end of ticktock
I want to do something like:
xterm -e bash <(echo ./ticktock) &
When I do this, the program works & interacts, but the xterm dies upon 
completion of ticktock or INT. I also do not seem to be able to use the 
--rcfile switch as a bash option, although I can add KEY=VALUE pairs 
before the xterm launch.

Ideas? Please respond to me directly.

What media are you using?  I know that my Sony burner doesn't like 
Maxwell or Lite-On media; but works consistently well with Imation CD-R 
and DVD-R.

Xorg/Modes issue

[Jake Stride]

I have tried googling around to find the answer to my query but seem 
unable to find the answers. I have followed the handbook guide on 
setting up X and can get everything working OK except for the screen 
resolution.

I have a dell optiplex with an intel 810 card and a iiyama e481s monitor 
that can do 1280x1024 however everything always comes up on the screen 
at 640x480 no matter what I seem to put in the xorg.conf file.

Can anyone point me in the right direction please. I have attached a 
copy of the config file I am using too and am currently runng the 5.3 
stable release.

Thanks
Jake

At least that is what I think.  Still trying to install KDE and got
the ghostscript configuration menu.  All I took out was the printer I
would not use.  Then I hit enter and it started to go.  This is the

When I am in kernel secure level '2' - I cannot even mount
a partiton on the second disk?
# mount /dev/da1s1d /mnt
Operation not permitted
I need to be able to mount partitions at times using my 2nd hard drive in 
the system...but unless I mount them at boot, I cant do this under level '2' ?

Is this expected?
thanks-

Tnx!

That works a charm! No idea how I could have missed that one, guess I'd

Problem with creating home directories when creating users using pw under 5.2.1 Release i386

[Olaf Greve]

Hi guys,

I'm new to this list, so I hope I'm not flogging a dead horse here, but
after an upgrade from 5.1 Release to 5.2.1 Release (i386) I encountered
a weird thing: when being root, and creating users using the pw command
as follows:

pw useradd testusr -g testgrp -s /bin/sh

No home directory gets created (whereas a home directory was properly
created when doing this under 5.1 Release). Then, when I try to fix this
afterwards by doing:

pw usermod testusr -d /usr/home/testusr

I get the message:

pw: WARNING: home `/usr/home/testusr' does not exist

This, in itself, is already weird, of course. Manually creating the
directory /usr/home/testusr and then trying the pw command doesn't work
either (neither when the directory is owned by root, nor when it's owned
by testusr:testgrp) ?!?

More bizarrely so, when adding a user using sysinstall, it all works
fine. Go figure...?!?

Does anyone have any ideas?

Cheers!
Olafo

This will, of course, change the slice numbers for the rest of the disk. You 
can probably get away with editing fstab and checking loader.conf for any 
overrides with device names, but is it really worth it. Any partion editing 
carries the risk of corruption and this partition is just 1/2000 of the disk 
space.

I did this recently when I installed 5.3 on a new slice, and it was entirely 
straightforward.

I found the problem. It was my fault.
One of my mount points actually was a directory that -had- stuff in it 
prior to mounting...

once I unmounted the point and then removed it and recreated it
all is well.
Thanks for the pointers guys.

Getting devfs to recognize a hotplug floppy

[Patrick Bowen]

The subject line just about says it all. I'm trying to learn how to get 
devfs to create an fd0 enty in /dev automatically when I plug a floppy 
drive into the serial port of a running Dell D600 laptop running 6.0 
current. I've looked at 'man devfs/devfs.conf/devfs.rules', searched the 
lists, searched the web, etc. this is either really simple, and I/m 
trying to make it complicated (probably), or no one else is trying to do 
this (probably not).

If someone can point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it.

make NOSHARED=yes buildworld

should work fine for building a statically linked system.

(If you are using 4-stable you will probably have to apply the
following patch to make the world build correctly using NOSHARED=yes,
at least if you use NOPAM=yes.  No idea how it works if you compile
with PAM support which is the default.)

Building base system with CFLAGS=-static

[Erik Norgaard]

Hi,
I am trying to build the base system statically linked to create an 
installation root file system.

I have tried "make CFLAGS=-static buildworld", which fails. Building 
each program separately, in most cases it works with "make 
CFLAGS=-static" but some like systinstall, sh, csh and init fails.

What is the suggested method to create a static built base system?
Alternatively, how do I trace which libraries are used/needed?
Thanks, Erik

Well, our experience is that most of the people pulling lots of images
are pulling porno off the web so I don't think they would want a worse
quality
image.  And a lot of them are sucking it off the news server, I suspect
that UUENCODED jpgs are going to be treated as random text, not go
through the re-encoding process.

I suppose this might help with sites like cnn.com which are heavy on
the graphics, and most of the graphics are useless and don't need to be
high-res.

Most modems out of the box have v.42bis turned on, so you really get
no help from the ppp compression algorithims.  In fact our tests have
shown marked improvements when the user deselects hardware compression
and just leaves the software PPP compression going.  This is expically
true of softmodems for obvious reasons.  The big problem though is that
many modems are really brain dead and when you turn off hardware
compression the idiot things will connect without error correction as
well.  The decent modems like the USRs won't, but people wanting dialup
nowadays seem to buy the cheapo $9.95 softmodems or use the modems
on the motherboards which are softmodems.  I've even lately seen
USR 56k external modems for sale in the bins at Goodwill for $8 if
you can believe how idiot some people are.  (dump one of these in
favor of a new winmodem?)

Also, as more providers flash their terminal servers for V92 and
start supporting V.44 I suspect that the Slipstream algorithm will
be no better.

The problem is that "used properly" is a very narrow definition - text
only sites without hardware compression on the modem, and the willingness
to take a degraded graphic.  And not mentioned is that a Pentium 200 isn't
going to have the CPU power to run an accellerator plus a softmodem
plus the pig that is Internet Exploder nowadays.  So you can just send
anything purchased before 1998 on it's way.  Most of our dialup customers
who are with dialup by choice (as opposed to being stuck with it because
they don't DSL qualify and can't get cable and cannot justify an $80
a month ISDN line) won't let a nickle through without rubbing off the face,
if you get my meaning, and tend towards older computers or systems that
power users have discarded.  And to be fair a lot of them are older on
fixed incomes, ie: retired, and only run the Internet to communicate
with the family.  I feel it's raising false hopes to tell that crowd
that an accellerator is going to run their stuff at 5 times faster like
they do in the TV ads.  And their TV ads don't say what the disclaimer
says, specifically "Transmission of files including, without limitation,
streaming audio or video, digital photographs, MP3 or other music files,
executable files and other downloads, is not faster using NetZero HiSpeed
than with standard dial-up service."

This kind of thing just delays people from taking the plunge into DSL
or cable.  And to be perfectly honest about it, even though we ourselves
don't sell cable and I cannot stand the cable companies, many people
out there with a land POTS line, a cell phone, cable TV with HBO and
a selection of expensive movie channels, and a dialup ISP, would find
that if they ditched their ISP and their land phone line, got a slightly
more expensive cellular plan and used their cell phone as their main
phone number, and got cable Internet added to th

This is a pet peeve of mine. Yeah, sure it spins off another

A more important issue is that of comfort. Your comfort. If you have a 
number of strings that you want to grep for, it's much more cumbersome 
to work back past the files at the end of the command line to change the 
grep target string.

grep foo somefile
grep bar somefile
Assuming bask, you have to step over 'somefile' with some whacky Esc-B 
combo in order to ^W zap the 'foo' field. Contrast this with:

cat somefile | grep foo
cat somefile | grep bar
In this second case, you can recall the command and ^W to zap the token 
immediately, and replace it with bar. Much less typing effort. The 
different strings you grep with, the more you save. And then once you've 
grepped what you want, you might then replace the grep by sed, awk, wc 
or whatever. (Yes, I know about ^old^new, but that is even more 
cumbersome that Esc-B).

Let the damned computer burn another process. That's what it's good at!

Use the -O 1 option of newfs when you create the filesystem of the

That is wrong. Neither the 80386SX nor the 80386DX have an FPU.
The difference between them is that while the DX has a full 32-bit
databus and addressbus, the SX only has a 16-bit databus and a 24-bit
databus. This difference is not visible to the programmer but only to
the hardware designer, i.e. all programs that run on an 80386DX will run
on an 80386SX as well.
For both of them you can add an external FPU (80387DX/80387SX)

You might have been thinking of the 80486 where it is indeed the case
that
  80486SX = 486 w/o FPU
  80486DX = 486 w/  FPU
If you have an 80486SX you can add an 80487SX to get an FPU.
FreeBSD 5.3 requires an hardware FPU to run.

No.  FreeBSD 5.3 should be able to run on both 80386DX and 80386SX
processors *IF* you have an external FPU.  You will also need a
custom-compiled kernel with support for 80386. (The default GENERIC
kernel has 80386 support disabled since having it enabled makes it run
slower on more modern processors.

what is the bsd fs called outside the bsd sphere?

[Richard Williamson]

Hello all,

I have a 32Mb CF card, formatted with the native BSD fs type (ie, it
isn't fat16 or fat32).  I've dd'd a raw image off the card.
Using FreeBSD, I can clone the flash card using for example
dd if=./sandisk.32.img of=/dev/rad8 

I would like to be able to flash a card using a different 
system (MacOS X or Linux).  Getting sandisk.32.img to the
other machine is not a problem.  I'm assuming that the 
dd is not going to be a problem either.  The question I
have is about mounting the flash card on the other system

What would the BSD filesystem be called?

>From the linux man page for mount:
   The  argument  following the -t is used to indicate
   the file system type.  The file system types  which
   are  currently  supported  are: adfs, affs, autofs,
   coda, coherent, cramfs,  devpts,  efs,  ext,  ext2,
   ext3, hfs, hpfs, iso9660, jfs, minix, msdos, ncpfs,
   nfs, ntfs,  proc,  qnx4,  reiserfs,  romfs,  smbfs,
   sysv,  tmpfs,  udf,  ufs, umsdos, vfat, xenix, xfs,
   xiafs.

>From the MacOS X /sbin/mount_*, I see afp, cd9660, cddafs,
   devfs, fdesc, ftp, hfs, msdos, nfs, ntfs, smbfs, synthfs,
   udf, volfs, webdav

I've tried to mount it using ufs (the default for MacOS 
/bin/mount) and been given 'invalid super block'.

Any suggestions?

Regards,
Richard

You forget add the libmd with compilation (see manuals)
try
%g++ md5.cpp -o md5 -lmd

Try setting the 'ssmtp.conf' on the client machine ya moron. Maybe try
getting some sleep too.

Re: Don't know what else to do - NetGEAR WG311 54Mbps PCI card not recognized

Hi There,
I installed FreeBSD 5.3 from CD and later downloaded RELENG_5_3 from a FreeBSD CVS site, then added ath and ath_hal as devices in the kernel configuration file. I generated the new kernel and rebooted the machine with it successfully.  However, still I cannot get the kernel to recognize my WG311 NetGEAR PCI card.  I searched the net for possible solutions people provided but found none... There are a number of people repoting the same driver (or configuration) problem but there is no answer I could find. 

I am very desperate now and not sure where to go from here...  Could you please 
help to get this wireless network adapter to work. I looked into the output 
from dmesg and there is not even a word to show it was seen by the kernel.
This is becoming a FAQ.
The chipset changed in midstream from atheros to Texas Instruments. You 
need to use the NDIS compatibility stuff in 5.3 to make this work.

It's very annoying.
Peter.

Do you mean ftpd - the ftp-server? Ftpd accepts option -U to change data 
portrange, but you need to mess around with the portrange sysctls. For more 
information please refer to 'man 8 ftpd' and 'man 4 ip'. 

Cheers,

Help...am I being hacked?

[Dino Vliet]

Hi all,

I'm using freebsd 4.10 on my laptop and I was browsing
my filesystem and looking at some log files, when I
stumbled into the file dmesg.yesterday in /var/log/

The contents of this file worried me. Take a look at
the last lines of it:

Connection attempt to TCP 192.168.1.101:5554 from
220.147.188.223:4970 flags:0x02
Connection attempt to TCP 192.168.1.101:9898 from
220.147.188.223:1288 flags:0x02
Connection attempt to TCP 192.168.1.101:21 from
168.126.102.33:57216 flags:0x02
Connection attempt to UDP 192.168.1.101:1026 from
222.88.173.5:31889
Connection attempt to TCP 192.168.1.101:9898 from
67.1.4.194:3161 flags:0x02

But my IP on this machine starts with 130.

But I recognize these IP's (192.168.1.101), because at
home I'm using a e-tech router and it assigns me
through DHCP 192.168.1.* as ip address every time I
connect my laptop with this. At the campus, I'm also
using dhcp to connect to the network. However, lately
I haven't used my router at home and was only
connecting through the network at the campus. There I
get the ip address 130.37.28.112. 

I have removed the old dhcp.leases in /var/db that had
the information of my e-tech router.

I am using ipfw too now, but still it would be
convenient to know where to look for hack attempts and
look for log files which give information about
connection attempts from outside. 

Thanks in advance
Dino Vliet

Hi,
I thought 386 support had been removed since 5.X. But
http://www.freebsd.org/releases/5.3R/installation-i386.html
says:
 1.2 Hardware Requirements
 FreeBSD for the i386 requires a 486 or better processor to install
 and run (although FreeBSD can run on 386 processors with a custom
 kernel)
What does this mean?


One thing you need on the target system (IIRC..) is a FPU. 


So?
The hardware requirements state "FreeBSD can run on 386 processors...".

The GENERIC kernel that is shipped with FreeBSD will not boot on an 
80386 processor, period.

Can I induce an FPU into my system by customizing my kernel?

You'll need an FPU and a custom kernel that is compiled with the
CPU_I386 option.

I'm not an expert here, but I found this:
   80386SX = 386 w/o FPU
   80386DX = 386 w/ FPU
Should instead, the "Hardware Requirements" for 5.3 then mention
this:
  ...(although FreeBSD can run on 80386DX processors...
to be more precise, to avoid confusion/frustration for 80386SX
owners?

LMAO, I have a handful of i80386DX, 386SX/387s, even a few 286's + 
mainboards and a crap load of 30pin and 72pin SIMMs if someone want to 
"upgrade", if you can't find an old Pentium I / 486DX4 systems in the 
garbage there's something wrong with you.

But seriously... There's still very good uses for these old timers in 
embedded control systems, routers and such... I WISH the mainboard 
manufacturers would make new mini-ITX, FlexATX, and MicroATX format 
mainboards and chipsets for these old guys, yes really!!!
