RE: Port old 16-bit Win program to FreeBSD that needs access to core memory
Hi Sam, This isn't the best mailing list to ask this question, but here goes. You generally cannot directly access memory under UNIX, period. You have to go through a device driver. Keep in mind WIndows is a single-user system, thus a Windows program can make a lot of assumptions. One of these is that the program I/O is going to go to the screen, input will come from the keyboard, etc. UNIX is a multiuser system and a program can be run from a terminal or SSH session logged in over the network, a direct connection from the console, etc. Thus the program cannot make assumptions about where the data is going to be going to. However, the good news is that it should be pretty easy to modify a driver for your card. For example take a look here: http://www.dmst.aueb.gr/dds/sw/ifurnace/ There's driver source up there and it sounds like that card is similar to yours.

The program needs to directly access the memory range D-D, and as I am new to FreeBSD I don't know if this is allowed by the kernel or if the range is available. The program is for a motor control board (ISA, not PCI) and is designed to communicate with the card by writing directly to the core memory region D-D. It would be best described as an old ISA video card for Windows 3.1/MS-DOS where there is no real driver.

Performance is not really a BIG issue, but I also don't want to have things hecticly slow either. This will be a NAS type of implementation so speed would be bound by relatively speaking slow network connections in any case... Now first things first as well, I did look at Fiber Channels too - and the tecnology is just to expensive and complex for a home type implementation that I want this for. Ideally, I'd like to start at 2TB of storage (yes, those movies must go somewhere!), but I'd like to be able to grow this as times go by... I also definately want redundancy on the data, as I just lost 80GB of precious data when ironically, a 160GB SATA Seagate went out under me. Now SCSI I know, is more expensive than SATA. Whether it provides beter performance than SATA I'm still uncertain off, but gut would tell me that due to the cost factor, SCSI *should* run away as far as speed is concerned. But also as I said previously, speed and performance is not a priority for my implementation and therefore it has very little weight. This makes me look at SATA then therefore. My problem with SATA, is the whole 1 Port, 1 Drive scenario. I've looked at the Adaptec 16 Port SATA Controller. The reviews I managed to get on that card on the Internet, paints a very grim picture. Buggered Firmware, the controller destroys drives, and general sluggish performance. Is anyone using this card that can perhaps give me a better picture?

textproc: Typesetting holy content
Hello!
I hope this is not too off topic.
I'm involved in some studies here, on the authority of holy scriptures.
I am trying to transcribe The Noble Qur'an, by some said to be the
most elegant book
ever written, into LaTeX format. That way I can format it the way I wish,
and study it at my own premises.
I began to wget -m http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/
Which gave me 001.qmt.html all the way up to 114.qmt.html.
Next, I ran this:
for i in `find -s . -name *.html`; do w3m -dump $i
${i%.html}.txt; echo ${i%.html}.txt; done
And ended up with 001.qmt.txt all the way up to 114.qmt.txt.
Then, I took 001.qmt.txt, which looked like this:

Basically what I did manually on the first file is what I intend to
do automatically
with all the other files. The format remains the same, however the
quantity of text will differ.
The process, to be done on each of my now *.txt files, would look
something like this:
1
Cut out everything before line 27.
2
Take line 27, and embody it. So if line 27 says HELLO, it will become:
\chapter{HELLO}
3
Cut out everything preceding line 27 until a NNN.NNN (verse
indication) appears.
4
Join the NNN.NNN with the below line and cut out YUSUFALI:
5
Join all lines below the YUSUFALI: line ...
6
Until the PICKTHAL: line appears. Then, delete it and all below
lines until the next NNN.NNN appears.
The reason is that the University of California compilation displays
three different english translations and I'd only be interested in
the first one.
For instance, this:
--
004.054
YUSUFALI: Or do they envy mankind for what Allah hath given them of his bounty?
but We had already given the people of Abraham the Book and Wisdom, and
conferred upon them a great kingdom.
PICKTHAL: Or are they jealous of mankind because of that which Allah of His
bounty hath bestowed upon them? For We bestowed upon the house of Abraham (of
old) the Scripture and wisdom, and We bestowed on them a mighty kingdom.
SHAKIR: Or do they envy the people for what Allah has given them of His grace?
But indeed We have given to Ibrahim's children the Book and the wisdom, and We
have given them a grand kingdom.

Would simply become this, in one line:
--

When the next NNN.NNN appears, treat it like the rest.

How to get best results from FreeBSD-questions
How to get the best results from FreeBSD questions. === Last update $Date: 2005/08/10 02:21:44 $ This is a regular posting to the FreeBSD questions mailing list. If you got it in answer to a message you sent, it means that the sender thinks that at least one of the following things was wrong with your message: - You left out a subject line, or the subject line was not appropriate. - You formatted it in such a way that it was difficult to read. - You asked more than one unrelated question in one message. - You sent out a message with an incorrect date, time or time zone. - You sent out the same message more than once. - You sent an 'unsubscribe' message to FreeBSD-questions. If you have done any of these things, there is a good chance that you will get more than one copy of this message from different people. Read on, and your next message will be more successful. This document is also available on the web at http://www.lemis.com/questions.html. = Contents: I:Introduction II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions III: Should I ask -questions or -hackers? IV: How to submit a question to FreeBSD-questions V:How to answer a question to FreeBSD-questions I: Introduction === This is a regular posting aimed to help both those seeking advice from FreeBSD-questions (the newcomers), and also those who answer the questions (the hackers). Note that the term hacker has nothing to do with breaking into other people's computers. The correct term for the latter activity is cracker, but the popular press hasn't found out yet. The FreeBSD hackers disapprove strongly of cracking security, and have nothing to do with it. In the past, there has been some friction which stems from the different viewpoints of the two groups. The newcomers accused the hackers of being arrogant, stuck-up, and unhelpful, while the hackers accused the newcomers of being stupid, unable to read plain English, and expecting everything to be handed to them on a silver platter. Of course, there's an element of truth in both these claims, but for the most part these viewpoints come from a sense of frustration. In this document, I'd like to do something to relieve this frustration and help everybody get better results from FreeBSD-questions. In the following section, I recommend how to submit a question; after that, we'll look at how to answer one. II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions == When you subscribed to FreeBSD-questions, you got a welcome message from [EMAIL PROTECTED] In this message, amongst other things, it told you how to unsubscribe. Here's a typical message: Welcome to the freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list! If you ever want to unsubscribe or change your options (eg, switch to or from digest mode, change your password, etc.), visit your subscription page at: http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/options/freebsd-questions/[EMAIL PROTECTED] (obviously, substitute your mail address for [EMAIL PROTECTED]). You can also make such adjustments via email by sending a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word 'help' in the subject or body (don't include the quotes), and you will get back a message with instructions. You must know your password to change your options (including changing the password, itself) or to unsubscribe. Normally, Mailman will remind you of your freebsd.org mailing list passwords once every month, although you can disable this if you prefer. This reminder will also include instructions on how to unsubscribe or change your account options. There is also a button on your options page that will email your current password to you. Here's the general information for the list you've subscribed to, in case you don't already have it: FREEBSD-QUESTIONS User questions This is the mailing list for questions about FreeBSD. You should not send how to questions to the technical lists unless you consider the question to be pretty technical. Normally, unsubscribing is even simpler than the message suggests: you don't need to specify your mail ID unless it is different from the one which you specified when you subscribed. If Majordomo replies and tells you (incorrectly) that you're not on the list, this may mean one of two things: 1. You have changed your mail ID since you subscribed. That's where keeping the original message from majordomo comes in handy. For example, the sample message above shows my mail ID as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Since then, I have changed it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] If I were to try to remove [EMAIL PROTECTED] from the list, it would fail: I would have to specify the name with which I joined. 2.

The Complete FreeBSD: errata and addenda
The trouble with books is that you can't update them the way you can a web page or any other online documentation. The result is that most leading edge computer books are out of date almost before they are printed. Unfortunately, The Complete FreeBSD, published by O'Reilly, is no exception. Inevitably, a number of bugs and changes have surfaced. The Complete FreeBSD has been through a total of five editions, including its predecessor Installing and Running FreeBSD. Two of these have been reprinted with corrections. I maintain a series of errata pages. Start at http://www.lemis.com/errata-4.html to find out how to get the errata information. Note also that the book has now been released for free download in PDF form. Instead of downloading the changed pages, you may prefer to download the entire book. See http://www.lemis.com/grog/Documentation/CFBSD/ for more information. Have you found a problem with the book, or maybe something confusing?

Re: Intel Mac experiences
On May 26, 2006, at 7:54 AM, John Cruz wrote: When it comes right down to it, the differences between freeBSD and MacOS X (darwin) are very minimal. No, you can't do a buildworld because you can't build the kernel source because the source is closed. But why would you need to? The kernel is already built and optomized for your Mac hardware. As you stated, the kernels are different anyways. No ports system, but when you have a plethora of point-click-install software the need isn't really there.But basic OS functioning is the same, they all (all the BSDs and MacOS) are basically the same at the os level, but not the kernel level. Also, i'm pretty sure that /etc/fstab/ exists on OS X This is not true. There are very big differences on how you admin and run them. I have been running FBSD for 10 years or longer and have been running OS X since the public beta and the NeXT OSes and the Apple/NeXT hybrids that came in between, before OS X. OS X is much different from an admin perspective, both client and server versions. Things you would do in FreeBSD you don't do on OS X and vice versa. As an example, lots of standard unix like config files seem to exist on OS X but when you look at them they are empty or full of comments only and you learn that the data is actually taken out of netinfo. OS X has very little to do with FreeBSD (different kernel, different driver architecture, different admin style and setup and files, different file structure, even in most cases a different file system type) EXCEP that Apple implemented a kernel layer that makes it look like a FBSD kernel so that userland utilities could be easily ported for the BSD subsystem (which is optional on OS X) and they took the FreeBSD userland as a base for their BSD subsystem userland. There are probably other minor sharings of code etc and some things have been shared for MSDOS and other FS compatibilities etc. Ted (not in the post above) claimed that OS X is a commercialized FreeBSD.This is not true. (Unless you want to say that FreeBSD is a Linux distribution because they share the gnu compilers and many other gnu tools and programs.) And OS X is run much differently than FreeBSD. OS X is a *nix-like OS and has a BSD subsystem so you can port normal non-X unix apps easily and if you install the optional Apple X11 then X apps can pretty easily be ported. As a user at a shell prompt you won't find much difference (and you won't find that difference on OpenBSD, NetBSD, or even Linux, and to a great extent with Solaris etc). But from an admin perspective, from running the system, they are worlds, and I mean worlds, apart. Luckily for simple things like running make files etc (once you have appropriate tools installed) they are close, like any unix is close.

dvd+rw problems
I'm having some troubles reading and writing DVD+RW discs. I've
installed dvd+rw-tools and followed the instructions in the FreeBSD
Handbook and searched Google without much luck. Here's the specific
errors I'm getting:
Trying to mount the disc:
server# mount_cd9660 /dev/cd0 /cdrom
mount_cd9660: /dev/cd0: Invalid argument
Trying to burn stuff to the disc:
server# growisofs -Z /dev/cd0 -J -R /root/dumps
:-( unable to cam_open_pass(/dev/pass0,O_RDWR): Operation not permitted
When trying the same operations with a DVD-R disc, I can successfully
mount and read the disc, however I get the same error when trying to
write to the disc. The drive can also mount and read CD media just
fine. I've double-checked the permissions in /dev and I'm running
everything as root, so that shouldn't be a problem.
Here's some additional info to help in figuring out what my problem could be:
server# camcontrol devlist

It is easiest if the system's single user mode hasn't been locked down Yes, but that is generally not a good idea at a colo, unless you have some kind of physical security on the box. If single user mode HAS been locked down (ie. needs the root password), then you will need a boot disc so you can chroot to your FreeBSD system from another, or so you can directly edit the /etc/passwd or /etc/shadow file. FYI: secure single password mode is default: meaning that the system assumes that anyone that can physically access the system should be able to use single user mode without a password. You have to make changes to /etc/ttys to get a paranoid console that asks for a password. The password hash *MIGHT* also be in one of those two files, depending on your configuration. Linux, Linux, Linux. FreeBSD has no /etc/shadow. There's /etc/passwd and /etc/master.passwd. The password hash is readible by root only, so that doesn't help if you only have a mortal account. Unless you've specifically set up something else to work around this problem, you _must_ get physical access to fix it. In the future, try installing sudo or using PKI to protect yourself from lost passwords. -- Bill Moran Be calm.

If this machine worked before, then _something_ has occurred to corrupt data on disk. Some possible reasons are breakin, operator error, or hardware failure. If you're not _sure_ this was caused by operator error, then you should be afraid: either your box was compromised or your hard drives are failing. In either of those scenerios, you need to rebuild the box, possibly after replacing hardware. Hopefully you have backups, if not, you may be forking out good money for a data recovery company to extract your data off a damaged hard drive. If it's a breakin, you might be able to boot the system off a live CD (such as FreeSBIE) and get your data off the drive before rebuilding.

Trouble installing FreeBSD on a Dell Precision 210?
Hello all, I am a newbie to FreeBSD, though I currently use Mac OS X and am reasonably comfortable with the unix side. I am trying to install FreeBSD on a Dell Precision 210 machine (scrounged it up recently and it has a huge hard drive, otherwise I don't know much about it). I have tried installation with FreeBSD Release 6.0 and 6.1 (both the full cd and boot-only cd for 6.0; just the boot-only cd for 6.1). The machine boots and I get to the screen where I can select my boot option. I select 5, (boot with detailed messaging) and the machine goes through some SMAP messages, a couple of Copyrights and a Free- BSD claimer with an email address. It pauses here for a good 10-15min. Then I get messages regarding preloading of elf kernel, mfs_root and elf module, followed by tables 'FACP' and 'APIC', MADT: Found table at ..., APIC: Using the MADT enumerator, then: MADT: Found CPU APIC ID 0 ACPI ID 1: enabled MADT: Found CPU APIC ID 1 ACPI ID 2: disabled It has remained at this point for at least a half-hour (through lunch, etc.), no lights flashing and does not respond to the enter key. Is this normal? I should mention that between the attempt at installing 6.0 (about 4 weeks ago) and 6.1 I had installed OpenBSD and it appeared to install and work fine, so I think the machine is okay.

Custom termcap entries and installworld
I've now shot myself in the foot at least three times in as many years with custom termcap entries... here's the deal: 1) I modify /etc/termcap and customize a termcap entry for some valid reason (I need 132x42 or whatever for my Link MC/5) 2) I update /etc/gettytab and /etc/ttys accordingly and happily use my dumb terminal on occasion (roughly once per week) 3) I upgrade via sources, being sure to run mergemaster and friends. 4) My terminal stops working. I have now shot myself in the foot and need to recreate the termcap entry (which, silly me, I didn't back up) Now, intellectually, I *know* that termcap is really stored in /usr/share/misc, and that mergemaster doesn't/can't touch those files since they're not configuration files... but every single time I run installworld, I need to take a manual step to keep things working the way they were before. This is a POLA breaker but I've just ignored it every time it happened until now. This time I opened a PR (http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=bin/97407) wishing for mergemaster support which, of course, isn't the Right Thing. So, I suppose my questions are these: 1) How do people cope with custom termcap entries? 2) Is there a *correct* way to cope with custom termcap entries? 3) Is there a good reason to not have /usr/share/misc/termcap be a symlink to /etc/termcap rather than the reverse which would allow mergemaster to Just Work? that is... putting it in /etc fixes a problem... does moving it create one or more more serious problems? 4) Am I supposed to submit every custom termcap tweak for inclusion in the next release so I can keep using my terminals? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I've got an update to my problem. I can actually read the disc just
fine at securelevel 3, but I need to drop down to securelevel 1 in
order to write to it (/dev/pass0 is a protected device node at
securelevel 2 and 3).
Is there a workaround to this, or will I have to drop into single-user
mode every time I want to write to a DVD?

I added a wireless NIC card to the firewall (Netgear WPN311) and followed the wireless instructions. I also added a similar card to an existing computer (Netgear WG311T). The Firewall's internal wired network is on 192.168.1.1 and the Wireless card is set to 192.168.2.1 The client computer can find the wireless network and I can ping the wireless card (192.168.2.1) However, I can get nowhere else. I cannot get to the wired subnet nor outside access to the internet. I tried adding a bridge from the wired to the wireless network interfaces but that did nothing. I tried putting the wireless Nic to 192.168.1.249 but that made things worse. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Both client and firewall are running Freebsd 6.1 Relevant (that I can think of) files from the firewall are included... The bridge is not necessary. If you're trying to make all the traffic traverse the wireless network, you'll have to change the default gateway on the client. Otherwise the traffic will traverse bge0 as indicated in the client routing table. Otherwise, I would examine the firewall. Change it to allow all traffic and see if that makes a difference.

Looks like that wasn't much help, since the FAQ talks about changing
the permissions on the devices. I've done the instructions and only
/dev/xpt0 was effected since /dev/cd0 and /dev/pass0 being protected
by securelevel 2 and above. Even if I start up in securelevel 1,
change the permissions, then go to securelevel 3, I still get the
Operation not permitted error when trying to use growisofs.

Strange pauses and cpu usage - FreeBSD 6.1
I'm having a strange problem with cpu usage with my Athlon XP. Every so often there seems to be a pause where the system comes under heavy load for no apparent reason. If xmms was playing then I get a buzz sound and the mouse pointer stops just for a split second, the same with mplayer and vlc. Using Opera or firefox also seems to have a strange effect where the mouse pointer freezes while pages load, and if there is an animated gif on the page the cpu usage goes to 100%. The jabber client Gajim also makes the cpu get stuck at 100%. When I used gnome, nautilus did the same thing until i stopped and started the process in the system monitor. I have searched around and found this tip from the handbook but it had no effect. hint.apic.0.disabled=1 in /boot/loader.conf This happens with the generic kernel and the one i compiled for myself. It also lasts for a random amount of time, sometimes it is barely noticeable and sometimes it happens for over a second. Running neverwinter nights makes the system pause for 10-20 seconds seemingly randomly. Any tips or help would be greatly appreciated! ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
