Parallel port Zip drive

2000-03-08 Thread Walter Brameld

I hope this hasn't already been pounded to death, checked the archives
with no results.

I just upgraded to 4.0 and everything works fine so far except the zip
drive. Here's my dmesg:

Any idea what these errors may indicate?  Although now I notice that

Thank you for the reply, I will try that. What I find odd is that it
worked fine on 3.4-STABLE.

   So does all this mean that I now have to start using ssh-add/ssh-agent?
  
  Not at all; it's there as an option for people who have
  "secure" workstations and/or want single-signon for SSH. I often use
  ssh-agent if I have lots of remote CVS commits to do consecutively,
  e.g. do 'ssh-agent tcsh' and then ssh-add in the subshell, and exit when
  I'm done.
  
  ssh-add will also only invoke ssh-askpass if invoked with no controlling
  terminal, e.g. ssh-add  /dev/null or if called during the X login
  process. Otherwise it uses the good old (internal) text prompt.
  
  Kris

But then I'm back to my original question/problem: how to get ssh to ask
for a password using ssh-askpass.  I've looked through the code (a little);
how would you feel about a patch to openssh/readpass.c that caused it to
call ssh-askpass if there's no controlling tty but DISPLAY is set?

In either case, the answer is that you do not need to install the rsaref
port before any builds.  It is only a runtime dependency now.

1) There is no 4.0-STABLE. The only 4.0 that exists is -CURRENT.
2) This is described in UPDATING, so go back there and read it again.

 Ah, sorry. That's for SSL. Not awake yet, I guess..

My last build I didn't try, but about a week or so back I did not have
RSAref installed, built world, installed RSAref, and it "just worked" as
advertised for RSA authentication with OpenSSH.  Didn't check on SSLv2, but
presume it would.

Time to check again with RC3.

What I did not check is removing RSAref after a buildworld and checking for
breakage, but that smacks of shooting one's self in the foot.

Will do.  Also, a _very_ minor point, I think on the screen where it says,
"Do you want only normal users to have ftp access (e.g. disable anon ftp)"
or something like that. Should it not be _i.e._ instead of _e.g_ ?  

Also, does the ISO image have the same issue ?

Re: howto for 3.4-STABLE - 4.0-CURRENT?

2000-03-08 Thread Adriel Ickler

Comments: I wanna share my results for those who want to do this via
remote.

I slightly modified the procedure below for upgrading a box several
hundred miles away, where single user mode means a long distance phone
call.

cvsup to current
make buildworld
make buildkernel
make installkernel
- change - I just rebooted normally, the network came up fine, if you
  have any special kernel needs, make sure you have di lines in
/boot/kernel.conf (i.e. your system hangs when trying to detect a
device) at this point you are very safe, Its just a new kernel, if it
doesnt work, just load from the old one and give up or tweak, or
whatever.
make -DNOINFO installworld
make installworld
ok, here is where I discovered something nobody told me about.
4.0 moved me from DES to MD5.  the effect was that none of the passwords
worked. luckily I was logged in as root already, and only had 4 accts, I
just ran the passwd command and reset them.  if its a nightmare to move
your accounts, and/or you want to keep DES, I have been told that adding
the line "auth_default  =   des" in /etc/auth.conf will keep you on
DES.
(I didnt read the dev changes till after I did this, so it would prob be
better to do it here.)
reboot
now after the reboot, I had a weird error that nobody has mentioned as
far as I can see.  Whenever I tried to make in /usr/ports I would get an
error on two libraries:
 /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1, /usr/lib/libm.so.2

after that everything was pretty sane, little cleanups, but nothing
really scary.

I dont know if I recommend this or not, but I hope anyone who tries it
will learn from my experience and have a smoother ride ;)

so, first solution I can think of is, copy the files from an existing
current box".  /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1 wouldnt let me overwrite it,
even as root, but /usr/lib/libm.so.2 did, amazingly enough it only took
the libm replacement.

This means that one thread was in the middle of a dlopen() call

Really the only _right_ place I can find to fix this kind of thing is
in the application itself, by calling dllockinit() to set up locking
for the dynamic linker invocations.  I keep trying to come up with
solutions that will work without that, but I'm not at all sure it's

for other platforms.  They must have this same problem, at least
potentially.

Parallel port Zip drive and EPP mode

Here is a concern i have.  I had a hard time getting my parallel port
zip to work under 3.4.  It turned out there may be a bug in my bios
that required me to change from EPP mode to standard bi-directional.
Walter noted that EPP mode worked OK for him under 3.4, but did not
under -current.  Oddly enough, EPP mode worked fine under win95, so
there doesn't seem to be some innate incompatiblity between my laptop

ERRATA on the 4.0-20000307-CURRENT release candidate (#3)

2000-03-08 Thread Jordan K. Hubbard

There were a couple of sysinstall related bogons, one related to
variable toggling in rc.conf and another related to the crypto
distribution (it was still looking in des/).  Both of these have been
fixed and rolled into the updated boot floppies as well as the ISO
images, which are still uploading.

The next errata item has to do with the rsaref package, which will not
display its license properly when added through sysinstall.  I
understand the problem and am working on a fix right now.

The stuff on current is just the daily snapshot stuff and not entirely
equivalent to the URLs I specifically gave out.

OK, So I take it that the 0308 SNAP on current.freebsd.org still has this
bug ?

This may screw you because some device nodes (e.g. ATA drives) have
changed from 3.x to 4.x. You really need to mergemaster and re-MAKEDEV
before rebooting, which requires you to install mknod as described in
UPDATING. You should also do the rest of the upgrade in single-user mode
(e.g. I forgot and tried to boot multi-user, and the system paniced at
boot trying to load the linux KLD from /etc/rc.).

 ok, here is where I discovered something nobody told me about.
 4.0 moved me from DES to MD5.  the effect was that none of the passwords
 worked.

This is because you presumably didn't install the crypto sources and/or
build them.

 luckily I was logged in as root already, and only had 4 accts, I
 just ran the passwd command and reset them.  if its a nightmare to move
 your accounts, and/or you want to keep DES, I have been told that adding
 the line "auth_default  =   des" in /etc/auth.conf will keep you on
 DES.

This won't do anything.

RC3: APM on IBM Thinkpad 600E (2645,5A0)

2000-03-08 Thread Morten Seeberg

Hi, I just installed RC3, and I have the same problem as on RC2, when I run
"zzz" my machine turns off the monitor, stops the disk, etc etc. Actually is
does everything it´s supposed to, except go to stand-by mode (give the beep
and turn off).

So when i press any key, the machine wakes up again?? Is this a know
problem?

All I did was to add apm_enable="YES" to rc.conf and remove the diskable in
the KERNEL line, my dmesg looks like this:

RC3: No support for 3C589B/C (ep0) during install?

2000-03-08 Thread Morten Seeberg

I just installed RC3 on my laptop, and I wasn´t able to use my 3Com PCMCIA
3C589C card during install?? Hmm this couldn´t be true, so I tried booting
the floppies again, and this I actually read the text, and it really doesn´t
make much sense :)

*headlinePlease select IRQs that can be used by PC-cards/headline
*Please specify an IRQs that CANNOT be used by PC-card for example, if you
have a *soundcard that can't be probed by this installation floppy and it
uses IRQ 10, you *have to choose "Option 1" or "Option 2" at this menu.
*
*Default  IRQ 10, 11
*Option 1 IRQ 5, 11 (ex. soundcard on IRQ 10)
*Option 2 IRQ 11 (ex. something on IRQ 5 and 10)

Is it just me, or does the headline and description say the exact opposite
of each other?

Now, I got my card working by choosing Option 1, but Im not really sure why,
as you can see below, my card uses IRQ 3 for some odd reason.
Why doesn´t my PCMCIA card automatically use a higher free IRQ? (IRQ 3 is
used by my serial ports AFAIK)
IRQ 3 isn´t even mentioned in the Options above (only 5, 10 and 11)

*This is how it shows itself after install, when enabling PCCARD:
*ep0: 3Com Etherlink III 3C589 at port 0x240-0x24f irq 3 slot 1 on pccard1

/etc/periodic/daily/200.backup-passwd and MD5

2000-03-08 Thread Visigoth


All flames welcome as a learning experience ;-)

I am currently running a -current on a group of machines where I
work.  I decided to use the MD5 libscrypt passwords, and noticed something
strange in the daily output e-mail.  When the MD5 passwords are used the
daily output e-mail fails to truncate the encrypted passwd from the
/etc/master.passwd file before e-mailing out the diffs.  This is the case
even on a machine which was built today.  I haven't seen any info on
-current about it so I thought I would bring it up.

I also wrote and attached small patch to take care of the issue in
the short term. all it does is change:

diff $bak/master.passwd.bak /etc/master.passwd |\
sed 's/^\([] [^:]*\):[^:]*:/\1:(password):/'
to:

diff $bak/master.passwd.bak /etc/master.passwd |\
sed 's/^\([^:]*\):[^:]*:/\1:(password):/'

My logic could be messed up, so if there are any issues that I
overlooked in the patch I would love to hear about them.  I thought it
might be a good thing to take care of quick before -RELEASE (yea!)

Thanks all...

You could use /usr/bin/ssh, for a start.  Note that this is OpenSSH,
though, so there may be incompatibilities with ssh1.

The other alternative is to put /usr/local/bin in the front of the
path.

A third alternative is to build without OpenSSH by tweaking
make.conf.  (Note that there is now /etc/default/make.conf which means
that you can't look in /etc/make.conf for the new option.)

upgraded to -CURRENT (?) et al.

2000-03-08 Thread Salvo Bartolotta

Dear users,

I (last) cvupped -CURRENT on 6 March at about 11:00 pm GMT, and, with
few (necessary) variations, I tried to follow the instructions in
UPDATING on the next day.

I *seem* to have upgraded to -CURRENT.

FWIW, here is what I did:

1) /usr/src/make -j48 buildworld
2) /usr/src/sbin/mknod/make install
3) followed the directions to build/install a kernel.
   Remark: config -r core dumps (bad system call);
   config (no option) does not.
4) rebuilt disk /dev entries; updated the relevant files (/etc/fstab).
   In order not to forget anything, I issued various grep -r commands.
5) reboot in s.u.m.
   Remark I : the root partition is seen as wd1s2a; the others are
   seen correctly.
   Remark II: if one happens to reboot, one meets a FATAL TRAP; after
   rebooting, one is denied access to / .
   Workaround: I booted from another installation of mine (-STABLE)
   on another slice, and ran fsck from there.
6) /usr/src/make installworld
   I got this error: lib/libcom_errdoc [omissis] unrecognized option
   `--defsection=Programming  development tools.'
   Error code 1 (six times)

7) /usr/src/usr.bin/xinstall/make clean all install NOSHARED=YES
8) /usr/src/make installworld
   It failed with the same errors as sub 6).
9) /usr/src/make -DNOINFO installworld
   I got another error: install: genassym: no such file or directory.
   Error code 71.
   Error code 1 (five times.) It was time to use ... the Force.

10) /usr/src/make -DNOINFO -k installworld
11) /usr/src/make -k installworld
Alas, I did not log the sessions sub 10) and sub 11) because ... I
did NOT believe I would succeed in making installworld #@[]*^§
[severely censored]
12) mergemaster, devices, sysinstall and (yet another) kernel by the
book. Remark I: making sysintall failed: undefined reference in
pccard Initialize.
Error code 1.
Remark II: this time config -r worked.


If I had used -k properly, I would have finished earlier.
I suppose I am somehow running -CURRENT (?)

N.B. I am Italian and I chose MD5, discarding everything DES-related.
I suppose this has automagically eliminated a few problems.




Under -STABLE, I used to compile my kernels with a0ffa0ff flags for my
IDE disks 0 and 1, and b0ff for my third IDE disk. Under -CURRENT, I
specified the ata driver as per the suggestions in LINT, and I did NOT
specified ata0 and ata1; which are indicated for older systems. The
log messages show that all three disks are accessed in UDMA 33 mode
and are seen as having **16** heads.

However, I must miss something obvious here (yawn) how can I specify
the LBA mode for my third disk ? Is it automagically set ??? I fear
I can corrupt part of my filesytems: my /usr lives on my third IDE
disk (formerly accessed in LBA mode.)

Another problem. I get "isa0: unexpected tag 14" while booting.
What am I missing ?

There are other questions: e.g. X authentication fails. Pam.conf and
ttys are all right, though.

Before attacking all of them (grepping -r the d***ed wd disks and
recompiling the related ports ...), I would like to be in a position
to recompile things in /usr without running any risks to destroy that
filesystem. In this way, I will also be able te remake the world once
more ...

I thank you very much in advance for any help.

Best regards,
Salvo

Let me try to add a little info to that.

When I installed my zip on 3.4-STABLE, it worked right off the bat so I
didn't pay any attention as to what dmesg said about the drive or the
parallel port. I wish I had so I could provide the information for
completeness.

Initially under 4.0-CURRENT, my port came up NIBBLE and the drive as
EPP 1.9. ON Fritz Heinrichmeyer's (Hope I got that right) advice, I
changed the BIOS setting of my port to EPP 1.7, my only other choice.

Kerberos 5 in 4.0?

2000-03-08 Thread Ron Pritchett

Hello,

I have been searching through deja.com for over a week now and I can't
find an answer to this question. I was wondering if 4.0 comes with
kerberos 5 built-in? Or do I just use the kr5 port? Does it have a PAM?

I want to use k5 and a PAM for k5 logins. I know this is "doable" with
k4, but I keep seeing comments about how bad k4 is compared to k5. The
sticking point seems to be the PAM. I've not seen a k5 PAM for FBSD.

thanks,
Ron++

PS. No flames please. I'm new to the mailing list.

Re: More ld-elf.so.1: assert failed messages

2000-03-08 Thread John Polstra

In article [EMAIL PROTECTED],
Donn Miller  [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

 I just reverted back to the "normal" version of ld-elf.so, the version 
 without the patch.  Mozilla doesn't have the problem with the

 original, "non-patch" version wasn't doing something right.
 
 Just wondering, in case the problem isn't with Mozilla.  I'm using 
 Mozilla right now, with the original ld-elf.so.1.  (The fonts are hard 
 on my eyes.)

Well, the whole situation is very complicated.  I'll append a
long-winded mail about it that I sent to Jordan and Peter.  (No answer
yet, but then Jordan was out of the country and Peter only answers 20%
of his mail as a rather crude form of flow control. ;-)

Briefly, we've been through 3 phases with the dynamic linker.

1. The olden days.  Resolving symbols was a read-only operation, so
it was re-entrant.  Dlopen was a "write" operation, so if any thread
was doing a dlopen then no other thread could be doing a dlopen or a
symbol lookup.  There weren't very many multi-threaded apps, and
there were even fewer that used dlopen.  So nobody saw any problems,
even though the potential was there.

2. What is in current today.  Resolving symbols is a "write"
operation, and so is dlopen.  So two threads trying to resolve
symbols simultaneously need mutual exclusion or problems can manifest
themselves.  (Resolving symbols being a "write" operation is basically
an implementation screw-up on my part, which is corrected in the
patch I posted.)  Meanwhile, there are a lot more multi-threaded
applications.  So we're seeing problems.  In an attempt to solve the
problems, I did two things: (a) provided the dllockinit(3) interface
so threads packages could tell the dynamic linker how to do locking,
and (b) implemented some default locking that would work in some cases
when threads packages didn't use dllockinit.  The default locking
works for userland threads packages, but not for kernel threads or
rfork threads.

3. The patch I posted.  It made symbol resolution read-only again,
but it also removed the default locking.  I was hoping that with
re-entrant symbol resolution, the default locking wouldn't be needed
any more.  The default locking is extremely bogus, because it makes
assumptions about how threads work which there's no real reason to
believe are correct.

John

[Here's the mail I sent that explains things in more detail.]

Sorry for this long mail, but I need your advice about a situation
that's kind of complicated.  I don't know whether you've been
following -current, but there's a new chapter in the continuing saga
of "The Dynamic Linker Breaks Some Random Multi-threaded Program
During a Code Freeze."  This time it's wine.  These breakages are all
connected, and I'll try to explain the whole story below, if only so
you won't think I just do shoddy work. :-) What I am looking for from
you is some guidance as to how much we want to mess with the rtld at
the 11th hour to fix wine.

There are two ways a program can enter the dynamic linker: either
(A) by innocently calling some external function for the first
time, causing lazy binding to be done for that function, or (B) by
deliberately calling dlopen() or one of its friends.  In long ago
olden times, A was effectively a read-only operation, while B mucked
with a bunch of data structures in the dynamic linker.  So a program
could safely have lots of threads doing A at the same time, or just
one thread doing B, but not both.

Then the need for better-scoped symbol lookups began to arise, and I
finally bit the bullet and made the lookup algorithm quite a bit more
complicated, a la Solaris and Linux.  This was the change we decided
to merge into 3.4 just before release, because it fixed some important
application -- which one I can't remember any more.  The changes I
put in to do this unfortunately changed operation "A" above into a
write operation too.  I.e., the lazy binding was no longer reentrant.
Soon I started receiving reports of strange failures in multi-threaded
programs.

I attacked this problem by introducing calls to reader/writer locking
functions in key places.  Since locking depends on the underlying
threads package, I also created the dllockinit() API through which
each threads package could tell the dynamic linker how to do locking.
At the same time I added default locking methods which would make
their best effort to lock (basically by masking a bunch of signals) in
case the threads package hadn't been modified to call dllockinit().
That's where things stand in -current today.

Unfortunately, wine uses rfork() to make threads, so each thread is
in its own process.  Consequently, the signal masking in the default
locking methods is ineffective.  Occasionally the dynamic linker gets
reentered and an assert fails.

I have changes in my local tree which fix the lookup algorithm so it
is reentrant again.  I didn't think it was possible before, but then
I found

at 10Mbit the ed does a reasonable job considering todays machines.

that in order to enable APICs (option APIC_IO in kernel configuration file),
one needs to also compile the kernel with SMP support (option SMP in kernel
configuration file). While enabling the APIC is desirable even on a 
uniprocessor (provides more IRQs, interrupt ovhd becomes less, provides
on-chip timer), enabling SMP support on a uniprocessor brings down the 
performance (I've noticed a degradation of 22% in performance of a webserver
when a kernel was compiled with SMP support than without). Would it be possible
to allow enabling the APIC without requiring support for SMP in future
versions of FreeBSD ?

Since I'm using a snapshot that's about two months old, I apologize if the
above has already been addressed in the latest snapshots.
