However, the amount of improvement is dependent on the settings you configure. JPGs etc can be easily compressed. You re-encode the JPG image using a lower quality setting. You can achieve significant download time savings that way. SlipStream lets to select the image quality setting to give the quality/improvement you want for initial image viewing. You can always reload the original image quality then if you need it. SlipStream also uses a newer compression algorithm than those currently used by PPP. Its not clear just how much more effective this is as its quite difficult to measure. SlipStream is not for everyone. There are other issues where its not totally transparent and it causes issues with some internet services. However, when used properly you can achive significant improvements in download times. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

SlipStream also uses a newer compression algorithm than those currently used by PPP. Its not clear just how much more effective this is as its quite difficult to measure. 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. SlipStream is not for everyone. There are other issues where its not totally transparent and it causes issues with some internet services. However, when used properly you can achive significant improvements in download times. 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 their cable bill, they would be at the same price
Building base system with CFLAGS=-static
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?

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.)

Getting devfs to recognize a hotplug floppy
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.

Re: Deleting Extra Partitions installing a second FreeBSD

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. Second, I'd like to install a second freebsd installation for development and testing purposes on the second hard drive (disk1). Most likely i'll install 5.3 and upgrade to 6-Current.

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

With a DVD burner, you need to add atapicam to the your kernel. The use of atapicam will also mean, however, that you will need to burn cd's using cdrecord rather than burncd. http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/creating- cds.html http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/creating- dvds.html Best of luck, Andrew Gould I have atapicam installed. If you check my previous mail, you'll see that I was using growisofs and all errors had something to do with /dev/cd0 and /dev/pass0. Those are the atapicam devices. I tried to use burncd, because atapicam burning was failing. I already read the handbook when I installed the dvd burner and it has no information that could be to any help regarding this problem. - edvard What media are you using?

shell programming challenge
Hey, folks - I need to find a way to kick off an xterm running BASH and then execute 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?

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

It's working perfectly but today I noticed something that I do not

here's what it says :

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 ?

Time sync with NTP questions
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.

Mailing-lists behaviour on bounce
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.

Re: sound mysteriously not working
On 11/23/04 06:18 PM, Kevin Smith sat at the `puter and typed: I had followed the handbook to configure sound (sound blaser Live!) on my new 5.3 installation. It was working yesterday but it doesn't work now. Just to verify, I booted windows on the same system and the sound card/speakers are not working. Here is my dmesg output and sndstat: dmesg|fgrep pcm0 pcm0: Creative EMU10K1 port 0xc800-0xc81f irq 18 at device 2.0 on pci2 pcm0: TriTech TR28602 AC97 Codec /home/kevin cat /dev/sndstat FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm) Installed devices: pcm0: Creative EMU10K1 at io 0xc800 irq 18 kld snd_emu10k1 (4p/2r/0v channels duplex default) Any suggestions on what to try next ? 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.

problems with http in fetch for ports
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 ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
OT: Trying to learn C -- some questions
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 conio.h 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 curses.h 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.

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. -JDB ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

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. 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.

SYNOPSIS #include stdio.h 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: #includestdio.h 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.

How to boot FreeBSD from a slave IDE disk
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? rain - Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

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.

The error message I get with burncd is TEST_UNIT_READY Illegal request. I can get the exact data later (i.e. the next time I want to destroy yet another DVD). My DVD drive is an LG GSA-4160B Regards, Edvard Ok, I forgot to add that I'm running FreeBSD 5.3R. I also tried to use burncd to get the error message I mentioned in my earlier mail, but this time I got a kernel panic instead. I didn't see exactly what happened, but when I returned to the computer I saw this: burncd: ioctl(CDRIOCSETBLOCKSIZE): Device not configured burncd: ioctl(CDRIOCSETBLOCKSIZE): Device not configured burncd: ioctl(CDRIOCSETBLOCKSIZE): Device not configured ... burncd: ioctl(CDRIOCSETBLOCKSIZE): Device not configured Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode fault virtual address = 0x0 fault code= supervisor read, page not present instruction pointer = 0x8:0xc0440470 stack pointer = 0x10:0xd4030bfc frame pointer = 0x10:0xd4030c08 code segment = base 0x0, limit 0x, type 0x1b = DPL 0, pres 1, def32 1, gran 1 processor eflags = interrupt enabled, resume, IOPL = 0 current process = 2 (g_event) trap number = 12 panic: page fault I'm happy to provide extra information. I could look up the offending code with the kernel debugger tomorrow (it's 1AM, so I don't feel like it now). dmesg output as attachment. - edvard See the following links regarding burning cd's and dvd's. With a DVD burner, you need to add atapicam to the your kernel. The use of atapicam will also mean, however, that you will need to burn cd's using cdrecord rather than burncd. http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/creating-cds.html http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/creating-dvds.html Best of luck, Andrew Gould I have atapicam installed. If you check my previous mail, you'll see that I was using growisofs and all errors had something to do with /dev/cd0 and /dev/pass0. Those are the atapicam devices. I tried to use burncd, because atapicam burning was failing. I already read the handbook when I installed the dvd burner and it has no information that could be to any help regarding this problem. - edvard ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] 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.

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. 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. -- Matt Emmerton ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

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). 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. -- Matt Emmerton ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Chuck Robey | Interests include C Java programming, FreeBSD, [EMAIL PROTECTED] | electronics, communications, and SF/Fantasy.
