I found "The Complete FreeBSD by Greg Lehey" invaluable when I was starting 
out in FreeBSD. Also the OReilly book "Building Internet Firewalls" was very 
helpful.

FreeBSD howto collection

[Yance Kowara]

Dear all,

I am looking for a good article or collection of
howtos or something similar to Ted's FreeBSD Corporate
Networker's Guide.

A book similar to Carla Schroder's Linux Cookbook
(http://proquest.safaribooksonline.com/?XmlId=0596006403)
 
is very nice and practical to follow.

I am given a task to design a small business network
solution using FreeBSD. It needs a gateway, firewall,
mail, proxy server, etc.

What is available (what I can find) are different
howtos implemented in different situations.

Any pointers appreciated.

Regards,


Yance Kowara

If you have emacs, try the dired mode. Maybe a file with non-printing

I'm having some strange troubles with RPM port, I already tried to

./configure: 123: Syntax error: word unexpected (expecting ")")
===>  Script "configure" failed unexpectedly.
Please report the problem to [EMAIL PROTECTED] [maintainer] and attach the
"/usr/ports/archivers/rpm/work/rpm-3.0.6/config.log" including the output of
the failure of your make command. Also, it might be a good idea to provide
an overview of all packages installed on your system (e.g. an `ls
/var/db/pkg`)

I already submited the problem to the address but it seems they didn't
have enough time to correct it, or maybe I've done something wrong.
Anyway, any solutions??

Well, ls of the directory succeds above, so it can not be the permission
problem. But here:

% cd audio/shorten
% ls -lds

I doubt there are any, and why would that affect anything anyway? Here:

% mkdir /tmp/q
% touch /tmp/q/meow
% tail -F /tmp/q/meow &
[2] 39947
% rm /tmp/q/meow
% rmdir /tmp/q

In other words, the directory (/tmp/q) is removable even if a process
(tail) still has a deleted file (meow) in it opened.

I doubt it's file system corruption, but there isn't a ton of info here. 
 Can you show permissions on the directories audio, shorten, and files? 
 Also - what is your securelevel set to, and have you checked to see if 
there are processes with any open files in those directories?

I use a script to configure my wireless pccard.  A simplified version
(without start, stop, etc) of a WEP, DHCP connection follows:

#!/bin/sh
ifconfig wi0 ssid ssidname nwkey 0x99
dhclient wi0

Basically, you need to add the ssid information to your ifconfig line
and execute dhclient after the interface has been configured with the
WEP key.

Good luck,

dhcrelay is setting the relay ip address wrong

[Ihsan Dogan]

Hello,

I'm running a small router/firewall on a FreeBSD 5.4 system. This
machine should also act as a DHCP gateway. For the dhcp relay,
I'm using ISC's dhcrelay (from Ports isc-dhcp3-relay-3.0.3).

The Interfaca and network configuration:
hme0: flags=8843 mtu 1500
options=b
inet 213.144.141.145 netmask 0xfff8 broadcast 213.144.141.151

ether 08:00:20:b4:42:ce
media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX )
status: active

The DHCP server is on the subnet of hme0; the DHCP clients are on
hme1 on hme2.

netstat -rnf inet:

The dhcrelay is started with the following options:
/usr/local/sbin/dhcrelay -i hme1 -i hme2 -d -a 213.144.141.146

The dhcrelay receives the request and passes them to the DHCP
server, but the forwarded package contains the "relay agent ip
address" of 192.168.23.1 and not 213.144.141.145 how it should
be. In that case, the DHCP server is sending the reply to
192.168.23.1 and not to 213.144.141.145.

Did I something wrong? A bug?

pccard, wi0, wep and DHCP

[Maarten Sanders]

Hi,

If used to have my wives laptop configured with rc.conf containing:
'ifconfig_wi0="DHCP"' this works and brings up wi0. Since my town is
crowded with wardrivers I would like to use wep. Because my wife often
inserts the pcmcia card after booting I also like to have pccard
enabled. I can manually configure the card to use WEP. dhclient is
configured 'out of the box'.

What I did after some googling:

in /etc/rc.conf I added:
pccard_enable="YES"
pccard_flags="-z"
pccard_ifconfig="DHCP"
and I removed:
ifconfig_wi0="DHCP"

I created a file:
/etc/start_if.wi0
ifconfig wi0 nwkey 0xsomehex

The wi card is listed in /etc/default/pccard.conf :
"BENQ" "AWL100 PCMCIA ADAPTER"
config  auto "wi" ?
insert  /etc/pccard_ether $device start
remove  /etc/pccard_ether $device stop
so I think /etc/pccard_ether should be executed on boot/insertion. Now
this works not as I expect. When I manually run:
/etc/pccard_ether wi0 start
/etc/start_if.wi0 is not interpretted and the WEP key is not set so
dhclient fails.

I guess I am missing a trivial point, but which?

yup, it *isn't* a 'japanese' port issue (or arabic) - something in your 
system is telling it not to download certain ports, but the dependencies 
tell the system it needs them.




Before reporting this error, verify that you are running a supported
version of FreeBSD (see http://www.FreeBSD.org/ports/) and that you
have a complete and up-to-date ports collection.  (INDEX builds are
not supported with partial or out-of-date ports collections -- in
particular, if you are using cvsup, you must cvsup the "ports-all"
collection, and have no "refuse" files.)  


You most probably have a refuse file in place. every time I encountered 
this problem, it was that. You can either try removing the language 
(actually, the section of the ports tree) in question from the refuse 
file, but you'll have this problem again sooner or later. You can simply 
  get rid of the refuse file altogether (it isnt that much of a 
bandwidth saver really), or:



Note: the latest pre-generated version of INDEX may be fetched
automatically with "make fetchindex".


run 'make fetchindex' after you update with cvsup. (which means you'll 
download the binary index from the cvsup server...so whatever you save 
by not downloading the language specific ports, you are probably using 
it here...




Which steps do you think I should take to get rid of this error... ??



as above.

I have seen every single component replaced in denial that the problem could

was the only thing which had not. And the problem was the PS all along.


Well, I do have another reason for thinking that it's nothing to do with 
the power supply: a bit of history I didn't mention (because it's long 
and not particularly interesting).


When I first installed this machine (a bit over three years ago) I used 
the offending disk together with another disk of the same model.  I first 
used the motherboard hardware RAID (using striping for speed, more fool 
me) on the motherboard and installed FreeBSD.  It broke, really quite 
quickly (within a week or so).


I blamed the RAID controller and tried again, this time using vinum.  The 
system survived quite a bit longer (can't remember how long, a month or so 
maybe), but suddenly failed quite horribly: I lost all data.  I retired 
the two disks and started again, and the resulting system has run sweetly 
for three years.


Recently I brought the two disks out of retirement, and one of them seems 
most unhappy (as described).  I'm strongly persuaded (convinced, even) 
that that one disk is dodgy.  I think I'm going to have to bin it, unless 
somebody can come up with a way to reliably molycoddle it.


I still think the question: "why does FreeBSD hang?" is interesting.

ls -l taking too much time

[scuba]

Hi all,

It´s a FreeBSD 5.4-STABLE, on a P-IV(2.4GHz) with 120G IDE HDD
(UFS2+softupdates), as one data partition (mail).
The test was done in a non-production server.
GENERIC kernel.

A "ls -l" in a /var/mail folder with +6000 files (not maildir) is
taking more then 2 min to complete.
I compiled (static) "ls" from the GNU filetools-4.1 and it takes
~1 min.
Observing the final behavior I can say that gnu has an
"unbuffered" output, while fbsds is buffered.
It was tested in two different machines.
Is it right?

- Marcelo

No, it does certificate authentication, which works just as well, if not
better.

ath/wpa_supplicant causes panic on BETA3?

[Erik Nørgaard]

Hi,

I seem to have problems with the ath driver: Firefox and Thunderbird 
some times coredumps and the system even panics at times.


I cannot determine which event causes these problems, however I have 
experienced no problems when connecting using the sis ethernet.


It could be a race condition occuring when these programs attempt to 
access the network and the ath/wpa_supplicant associates with the AP.


I have not experienced this with previous versions of FBSD, it appears 
to have come with upgrade to 6.0-BETA2 or BETA3. Posibly with the 
introduction of wpa_supplicant.


Can anyone confirm this?

Any hint to get some better debugging info will also be appreciated.

Thanks, Erik

thanks for the explanation. i can see why firefox might need that. i'm

[mojo fms]

I know its doable, how would i go about adding another email that the daily 
reports get sent too? I would still like them to be stored on the system its 
self but also send to another email account.

Raid 5 question, i know in MS Enviroments log files can not be stored on a 
striped raid array, is it the same for FBSD? And if so what about Mail 
(/var/mail/*) being stored in there? Any issues with that?

If you run conserver ( ports/comms/conserver-com ) on all the machines,
you can even set it up so you don't have to remember which machine is
controlling which machine's console (it will chain to the correct
machine).  A multiport serial card in one master console box does let
you consolidate the logs on one machine though.



You can power them on and off remotely if that would help. (disclaimer:

WMP54G and Ndis

[Jeffrey Roach]

Hello,

 I am trying to get my WMP54G card to work via Ndisulator.  Here is what I 
have tried,


Everything at http://www.xl0.org/FreeBSD/ndis.txt

 the drivers are Rt2500.INF and rt2500.sys

kldload ndis and if_ndis work fine; I am able to see the device as ndis0

I bring up the interface with this command,

ifconfig ndis0 inet 192.168.1.200 netmask 255.255.255.0 ssid linksys channel 
6


The access point is a Wireless-B Broadband Router BEFW11S4

Its address is 192.168.1.1, dhcp is on but I have set a static address at 
192.168.1.200, the netmask

is 255.255.255.0 and it is on channel 6

I have tried other channels but with no association

After I type the command I see ifconfig up (or something up) and then get a 
kernel panic.


Any ideas?

Thanks.

Enough or not, It's all there is.
I installed FBSD. I supped and built to stable.
Everthing boots and works fine.

I installed mysql4.0 from ports and multi-user mode is now never reached 
 during boot.


There are no errors in any logs on in any console output.
Disabling mysql-server.sh solves the problem and allows multi-user mode 
to be reached  during boot.

Just a general comment:

I had a very similar problem a while back. After replacing the drive in
question, then replacing the motherboard, I discovered it was a po

A8N-SLI Premium + Si 3114R + RAID5 of Hitachi Deskstar T7K250 -- locks up during install

[Malachi de Ælfweald]

I have tried this with 6-BETA1 and 6-BETA3.

I noticed the A8N-SLI Deluxe was supported, so thought that the majority of 
the Premium would be as well.

I am using the Silicon Image RAID controller instead of the NVidia one, 
because it supports RAID5 and the nVidia does not.
The RAID5 was configured in the BIOS.

During boot (bootonly.iso) it goes through autodetection, seems to see 
everything OK except that it detects the Si 3114R as "SATA 150" and it 
should be "SATA 300" because it is SATAII not SATAI.

It then gets to the following and locks up:

ad12: 238475MB  at ata6-master SATA150
ad14: 238475MB  at ata7-master SATA150
ad16: 238475MB  at ata8-master SATA150
ad18: 238475MB  at ata9-master SATA150

So, it appears that it finds each drive, instead of the RAID.
It appears that it detects the controller as SATA 1 instead of SATA 2.
It locks up as soon as it detects the hard drives.


Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Malachi

I'm not entirely serious - that is, it's certainly the Right Thing To Do, but 
I know my limitations as a programmer! Perhaps I'll start with something 
simpler.

Good advice, once again! Thanks very much.

Just do the make again -- you will get the compiler errors.

If you are compiling from an X window you can just save the jhistory into a 
file - otherwise you will have to redirect the console output to a file

Sendmail with SASL2

[Frank Staals]

Recently I recompiled my system and installed a mailserver according to 
this ( http://www.puresimplicity.net/~hemi/freebsd/sendmail.html ) 
howto. So far everything seemed to work. I can read my mail and I can 
send mail from the server itself. But when I try to send e-mail from my 
laptop when using my mailserver as smtp server it won't send the e-mail. 
As a client I am using Thunderbird 1.0.6 smtp settings are:


server: fstaals.net
port: 25
user: frank
security: TLS if available

when sending an e-mail I am prompted for my password, but when I enter 
it my send is denied. At my server I can see this:


Sept 5 18:09:36 FStaals sendmail[67103] : no user in db
Sept 5 18:09:36 FStaals sendmail[67103] : no secret in database

the weird thing is that it does accept my user and pass when I try to 
read my mail from the server. And in /usr/local/lib/sasl2/Sendmail.conf 
is set it should use my systems password file:


[EMAIL PROTECTED] cat /usr/local/lib/sasl2/Sendmail.conf
pwcheck_method: saslauthd

The problem is the same when connecting on the smtps port ( 465 ) with 
thunderbird.


What should I do now ? My user does exist on the sytem, but I don't know 
why imap-uw // Sasl recognises it when I try reading my mail but 
Sendmail // Sasl doesn't when trying to send a message.


What am I doing wrong ?

Not that I want to discourage you, but that seems like a tall
order. Apart from knowing C, you'd have to get familiar with the FreeBSD
kernel and writing device drivers.

I guess a driver for an SD card reader should be similar to the USB
umass(4) driver. It should also handle disks by using the CAM transport
layer and da(4) devices.

If you are serious about writing a driver, I would recommend reading
"The Design and Implementation of the FreeBSD Operating System" by
McKusick and Neville-Neil.

You should think of .if and .for as "preprocessor directives". They are 
processed when make reads the makefile and builds the dependency graph. If 
you need something more dynamic you must use either a shell line:

foo:
if [ -f baz ] ; then ...

or go with sub-makes. 

Generally you don't want to use .if to check for a file that your makefile 
creates. In this case you just should use make itself. Given that the tree 
you need to have is named 'tree' do something like:

installcfworld: tree
...

installcfconfig: tree
...

tree:
mkdir tree
...

FreeBSD doesn't even come with bash installed by default, so you need
to look at your system's unique local configuration.  Single-user mode
won't give you a shell directly -- it prompts you for what shell you
want to run -- so it doesn't sound like that either.

Keep a closer eye on the console as you are booting, and post a more
detailed description of what the system is telling you, and maybe
we'll have a clearer idea of what to tell you.

Good luck.




See: mysql-server.sh script from ports kills multi-user mode

It's the mysqlserver-start.sh script from mysql4 port thatis killing 
multi-user... I have no idea why.


Disableing that starting scripts solves the problem..which defeats it's 
purpose.

You need to specify a valid transport for that local_transport
variable.  See postconf(5) and the LOCAL_RECIPIENT_README file.

It has a license that is pretty complicated to comply with, so the
ports system won't include the distfile.  Note that there is already a
/usr/ports/print/pdflib which will get you a "lite" version of 6.0.2.

FreeBSD doesn't even come with bash installed by default, so you need
to look at your system's unique local configuration.  Single-user mode
won't give you a shell directly -- it prompts you for what shell you
want to run -- so it doesn't sound like that either.

Keep a closer eye on the console as you are booting, and post a more
detailed description of what the system is telling you, and maybe
we'll have a clearer idea of what to tell you.

Good luck.

Not if you understand it.  Apparently, there are machine independent

arch).
 

Well, I "understood" it by looking in the Makefile in 
/usr/src/sys/i386/conf which contains a way of making the LINT kernel.  
Prior to building my first 5.4 kernel two months ago, I had no idea any 
of this had been done.  I always made my (4.X and prior) kernels based 
on LINT (better comments), and when it wasn't there I went looking for it.

There is an article on this:

Maybe you'll get it to work. I tried it myself once a couple of years 
ago and I just couldn't get it to work reliably. I admin several FreeBSD 
servers and all kinds of stuff you might expect to run on it: mail 
services, web services, ftp, database etc, and I don't think I'm 
particularily stupid when it comes to installing/configuring open source 
software. However, I just couldn't grasp the concepts behind this 
automounting stuff. Finally, when I quit trying to understand it and 
just blindly followed the article to the letter, I got it working 
somehow, but there were still issues (the details of which I've 
forgotten by now).


Hope you have better luck.

Re: what tweaks for stable-supfile in RELENG_6 ? (update after initial install)

[WOB]

Hi Giorgos,



For 6.0-Beta3, I plan to only change to RELENG_6, like this:

nano -w stable-supfile
  host = cvsup10.FreeBSD.org
  *default release=cvs tag=RELENG_6
  ports-all tag=.
  doc-all tag=.
   



You're not getting any of the "source" collections this way and you have
unnecessarily trimmed useful defaults.
 



That is actually just a snippet from my stable-supfile, those are just 
the lines that I changed.  The file is otherwise the same as the one in 
the examples directory.  I start with these commands:


  cd /usr/src
  cp /usr/share/examples/cvsup/stable-supfile .
  cp /usr/share/examples/cvsup/refuse .
  nano -w stable-supfile

thanks!

Then it's weird that /dev doesn't have a /dev/ad0 device.  What do you

mysql-server.sh script from ports kills multi-user mode

[Christopher H. Laco]

I have a week old FreeBSD 5.4-STABLE install. I had installed MySQL 4.0 
form ports which installed the user and mysql-server.sh in rc.d. I've 
added mysql_enable="YES" to rc.conf.


When I reboot, this script forces the server to stay in single-user 
mode. Hitting CTRL-D gets me into multi-user mode. THat's not so good 
for remote reboots.


Remobing the execute perm from mysql-server.sh allows reboots to go 
completely into multi-user mode. Someone else has to have had the same 
problem with the port install. Anyone?

I am pretty sure that is ad0. Since I only install FreeBSD5.4 in my laptop, 
and let it use the entire disk. I can use the sysinstall->fdisk to make sure 
that the disk is ad0s1, since I use entire of it.

Hard disk woes

[Michael Abbott]

I'm having some very odd behaviour from one of my hard disks and I wonder
what anybody makes of it.

In brief, the hard disk in questions works just fine much of the time, but
when high volume data transfers are requested I get the following in
/var/log/messages:

Sep  3 15:21:02 saturn /kernel: ad6: READ command timeout tag=0 serv=0 - 
resetting
Sep  3 15:21:02 saturn /kernel: ata3: resetting devices .. done
Sep  3 15:21:12 saturn /kernel: ad6: READ command timeout tag=0 serv=0 -

Sep  3 15:21:23 saturn /kernel: ata3: resetting devices .. done
Sep  3 15:21:33 saturn /kernel: ad6: READ command timeout tag=0 serv=0 - 
resetting
Sep  3 15:21:33 saturn /kernel: ad6: trying fallback to PIO mode
Sep  3 15:21:33 saturn /kernel: ata3: resetting devices .. done
Sep  3 15:21:43 saturn /kernel: ad6: READ command timeout tag=0 serv=0 - 
resetting
Sep  3 15:21:43 saturn /kernel: ata3: resetting devices .. ata3-slave: ATA 
identify retries exceeded
Sep  3 15:21:43 saturn /kernel: done

After this point the hard disk in question is frozen until I reboot, and
any process that tries to touch it is similarly frozen (doesn't even
respond to kill -9).  `shutdown -r` is enough to restore operation, and
the rest of the system seemed happy enough.

Another interesting effect.  I placed a replacement hard disk on the same
ATA bus (as a slave, device ad7) and tried copying files from ad6 to ad7.
This time when ad6 froze and the kerned decided to give up on ata3 (and so
decided to disable ad7 at the same time, naturally enough) the entire
system froze!  No response from the console, stone cold dead, hard reset
needed.


So some questions seem to me to arise from this.

1.  Why does FreeBSD handle this so ungracefully?  If restarting is
sufficient to bring ata3 back then can't the ata driver do a proper
restart?

2.  Goodness me, FreeBSD froze!  I know it's a hardware failure, but
still: it's on a auxillary ATA controller with no system files attached.
Is this problem of general interest?  It's certainly a massive hint to me
not to consider (parallel) ATA for RAID!

3.  Any thoughts on what is wrong with the hard disk in question?  I've
changed ATA controllers, so it seems to be the disk, not the controller.
The behaviour is very odd.  If I copy files off one at a time, eg using:
find . -type f -exec cp {} "$TARGET/"{} \; -exec echo -n '.' \;
the disk seems to hang in there, but if I just do
cp -R . "$TARGET"
then it freezes!  (This statement may not have been thoroughly tested:
having to restart each time gets old quite quickly.)


Ok, now for the boring bits.

Not if you understand it.  Apparently, there are machine independent
and machine dependent NOTES files (one MI-NOTES, and a NOTES for each
arch).

I didn't realize this until I went looking, based on your message.
But knowing that there's only 2 files that I need to investigate
makes it a whole lot easier.

A better question is why the "make LINT" option insist on stripping 
every last comment from NOTES making it useless for use an anything 
other than a LINT kernel, when its primary use for most people was 
figuring out what options they could add to their kernels.  Sure

He should be able to login without any problems.

On another note, in the future whenever you make changes to your
system that could potentially lock you out, use crontab to disable
them after a short amount of time. For example, when I was
reconfiguring sshd, I crontab'ed 'killall sshd && sshd -f 
/root/sshd_config_old'
and moved the default config file to my /root directory. Also when 
playing
with my ipfw rules, I crontab'ed 'ipfw disable firewall' for every 15 
minutes

until I got it working the way I wanted too.

Be VERY careful with this though. Don't use it and then forget to remove
the lines from your /etc/crontab. Remove them as soon as you get it
configured the way you want too. This is obviously a serious security
risk, so don't use it very often. If you are worried about disabling your
firewall, then create a small ipfw script to deny all connections except
from your IP address and crontab that instead of 'ipfw disable firewall'.
Also keep in mind to enable your firewall again you will need to type 
'ipfw enable firewall'.

I believe it can be found in NOTES under /usr/src/sys/conf, not
/usr/src/sys/i386/conf.

That took care of it.  The device works perfectly now.

Thanks to all who responded.

It seems as if ucom is mentioned in neither GENERIC nor NOTES.  Must be

Hi all,

Just a quick question... Will the following work for bind9:

};

view "internal" {
  match-clients { myacl; !192.168.1.1; };

Basically, I'm trying to include a network into my view, except one address...

Not a direct answer, but you could use ssmtp from the ports for this.

install FreeBSD on IBM BladeCenter (HS20)

[Pavel Baleshenko]

Hello
I'm trying to install FreeBSD on IBM BladeCenter HS20. But all my attempts are  
unsuccessful. 
I think the problem is each blade uses all devices (CD, FDD, keyboard, mouse) 
through USB.
I began my attempts from 5.4
It stops on scanning atkbd0. I tried to choose loading kernel with USB keyboard 
in the boot menu. But this time I got the kernel panic after scanning atapci0:

fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode
fault virtual address   = 0x5
fault code  = supervisor read, page not present

Then I tried 4.11. If I boot from CD, the loader doesn't find CD and kernel 
isn't found  accordingly. If I boot from floppy, the kernel is found 
successfully but the scanning of the devices is stopping on atkbd0 again.

I still hope to find a solution for this problem. 
Thanks in advance for any help.

I think so. According to the following page,
http://www.math.ucla.edu/~jimc/insp6000/p-proc.html#sd it is a Ricoh
R5c576A chip. Looking at the Ricoh page for this chip,
http://www.ricoh.com/LSI/product_pcif/pcc/5c576a/ there seems to be no
programming info available.

AFAICT, there is no Linux driver either, but someone seems to be working
on it: http://list.drzeus.cx/pipermail/wbsd-devel/2005-March/000261.html
You could try contacting this person to see how far his efforts have
come, and who the FreeBSD kernel developer is who is working on this.

Yes, somewhat better, but still missing bytes here and there, ie. First
line, all the servo address bytes etc.


The missing bytes might be caused by loading the tx data line with 
two inputs.  I've seen various rs-232 devices that expected signal 
levels that other devices couldn't achieve when driving two 
inputs.  The PC your using could be missing some bytes because the 
signal levels are right at the edge of being acceptable.  That's just 
a guess though, to find out for sure you'd need to look at the levels 
with a scope and see what's really going on.




Why would the bytes be swapped around?

I can get to the camera with its cable, though it's a bit slow - I just wanted 
the convenience of using the built-in reader, since it's there!

Is there anything in /var/log/messages? If not, try 'pciconf -lv',
'usbdevs' and 'camcontrol devlist -v' to see if it is on the PCI, USB or
SCSI bus respectively.

If you can't get it to work, the SanDisk SDDR-93 sd card reader is
supposed to work with Linux, so using it with FreeBSD should be possible.

Anyone got any idea how I can access the built-in sd card reader on my dell

Hi,

I am trying to debug a Mini SSC FreeBSD program that I am trying to write.
It would be nice to be able to be able to see what is being transmitted.  It
would help in the debugging of my program.

Here is a link to a Windows based Mini SSC program:
http://www.rentron.com/Mini-ssc.htm  Using this, I can control the servo, so
I know the hardware and cables work etc.

I have been using the 'minicom' port to dump the received data.  However, it
doesn't seem to collect the data properly.  Data coming in should be in
accordance with the SSC protocol, ie:

byte 1:0xFF// sync byte

byte 2:   0x01 - 0x25f//servo address


How do you fit 0x25f into a single byte? (I count 10 bits required)



byte 3:   0x00 - 0x255   // servo position


Same question as above.



Here is a dump of the collected data (via minicom):

#hexdump  minicom.cap
000 45ff 49ff 4cff 50ff 53ff 57ff 5aff 57ff
010 53ff 50ff 4cff 49ff 45ff 45ff 01ff ff82
020 8101 01ff ff80 8202 02ff ff81 8002 03ff

050 ff80 8003 04ff ff80 ff80 8006 07ff 0080

Looking at the first row of data, it is only showing two bytes, sync and
servo position.  Rows 020 and 030, shows some servo addresses, but
sometimes, together!  Both the mini-ssc.exe and minicom program are using
9600 8n1, so why is it showing this?  Is there something I have missed in
the setup of minicom?  Looks like this is a serial buffer problem.


You probably have byte ordering issues.  Does something like this

Is there a better program I could use to display the incoming serial data in
hex?

NOTE:  I only use two wires, signal ground and Tx Data (connected to the Rx
Data).  The servo does respond correctly, so I know the serial data must be
in the correct 3 byte format.

Looking fwd to your thoughts.

Cheers,

Paul Hamilton

  I don't know of any one program in particular, but if people had access 
to a shared calendar via a shared folder or could transfer the calendar to a 
shared location that is 'publishable' to, you could always use mozilla's 
calendar plugin  in either mozilla, 
firefox, or thunderbird. Sunbird isn't really being supported anymore, even 
though it's a fairly nice separate program-for at least Windows. I had lots of 
issues compiling/running the binary it in Linux, and I assume that it's similar 
in FreeBSD.

hello,

thanks for your reply to my question.



gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/ports/www/firefox/work/mozilla'
gmake: *** [default] Error 2
*** Error code 2
Stop in /usr/ports/www/firefox.





What were the lines before:


gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/ports/www/firefox/work/mozilla'



... unfortunately, i only clipped the lines i did, trying to keep my
message as short as possible. doh! i'm not sure where to locate the
file that all those screens of garbled text goes to either. i looked
in /var/log, but i couldn't see anything that looked likely. any idea
where i could find the file?

(i tried, successfully, to update the portupgrade port, after  
posting my

question. but the firefox port upgrade, subsequently, still refused to
compile.)


David,
Just try to recompile; if it doesn't work, it will come up  
again. This is by far a much earlier and quicker way to finding the  
initial problem as opposed to looking for logs, etc because odds  
hunting for the specific log will take a while in the build  
directory. Besides, your compile might work this time if you try again.
