While hammering on the RETURN key did not produce a prompt, it turns out that there was a prompt... At some time in the relatively distant past, I had configured this machine to allow display to a serial console (long since disconnected) by adding these lines to /boot/loader.conf boot_multicons=YES boot_serial=YES comconsole_speed=19200 console=comconsole,vidconsole My notes say These came from the serial console setup page, and do work for vt100, however I did not note exactly which man page they came from, unfortunately. I do not see these lines on syscons(4), sio(4) or dcons(4). Similar lines are mentioned in the handbook regarding setting up a serial console (there is no mention of single-user mode here): http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/serialconsole-setup.html The issue, as it relates to single-user mode, is essentially this: if the system is configured to boot with multi-console options, then when the single user prompt is printed, it is only printed on the second console (which is also the only valid source of keyboard input) -- in this case, the configured but unattached serial port. I'm not sure what the best strategy is here. Having only one console that is accepting input for the single-user shell certainly makes sense. The question is, which of potentially several consoles should it be? IMO, it would be better/clearer if (for i386/amd64 anyway) the console was the one associated with the motherboard-based keyboard and video card. An argument here would be that the [CTRL]-[ALT]-[DEL] sequence is still valid when associated with this keyboard, so it does seem odd that other input on that device is ignored. I can see arguments for other setups, also, mostly revolving around the why would you _have_ another console configured if you didn't need it, so the configured console must therefore be the important one -- though the FreeBSD user base is certainly willing enough to experiment that I am sure I am not the only person who set up multi-console for a fun project. Perhaps the best strategy would be to add a message printed on all consoles (as the rest of the boot information is) just before the prompt is printed (singly) to let people know that this is happening? I'm not sure if a way to 100% predict the desired console is possible. Thoughts? If figure I will put a PR in, so that at least this is tracked, even if we don't change anything. I will reference this thread in the PR, but if anyone has input as to what to suggest, I would appreciate it. At the very least, the handbook should get updated to indicate that this may happen.

Re: Boot hangs in single-user mode
Hi Everyone, On Thu, 6 Jun 2013 10:24:52 -0300, Andrew Hamilton-Wright wrote: Strangely, it seems that I cannot boot single user, either using boot -s from the boot loader, or using the boot menu. When I get to the point where the root filesystem is mounted, it hangs right after printing the message: Trying to mount root from ufs:/dev/ada0s1a There was a bit of a delay getting back to this, as I needed to move the internals over to a replacement server in a planned upgrade. I have left the boot disk in the machine demonstrating this problem with the intention of coming back to determine what is going on (mount points to now-missing data disks have been removed from /etc/fstab). In the resulting stripped down system, I have the same behaviour as before -- I cannot get to single-user mode, but multi-user is fine. If in multi-user mode, if I issue kill -TERM 1 to go to single-user mode, I would get a single console message: pflog0: promiscuous mode disabled, then nothing. While I would expect pflog to shut down in this case, I have now disabled everything pf related (I cannot imagine that it would interfere with console operation), and now have the situation where kill -TERM 1 simply locks the console. Plugging in a USB device while the console is locked does produce the expected dmesg updates, and the system does respond to [CTRL]-[ALT]-[DEL] I will also add that I can boot to a single-user prompt when booting off of the 9.1 media via DVD and mounting the root filesystem from the disk. (This motherboard+kernel have never gotten along particularly well with the DVD reader/writer in the machine, so mounting the filesystem from the DVD usually fails with various atapi based timeouts). Does anyone have any thoughts on how to further explore this? As the situation was more than mildly annoying, and could certainly have been worse, if this is likely to occur for anyone else, I would like to file a PR.

Boot hangs in single-user mode
Strangely, it seems that I cannot boot single user, either using boot -s from the boot loader, or using the boot menu. When I get to the point where the root filesystem is mounted, it hangs right after printing the message: Trying to mount root from ufs:/dev/ada0s1a Interestingly, there seems to be a bit of a sequence issue, as I have also seen the mount message appear before the audio system comes up, so occasionally, the last item printed is: pcm0: USB audio on uaudio0 If I boot normally, however, I can consistently reach a login prompt. I suspect that this may be a race condition of some kind, as yesterday I am sure I successfully booted to single-user while trying to solve a separate problem. In case the separate problem (failed disk) is relevant, the general situation is this: - four disk machine: ada0 (/, /usr, /tmp, /var); ada1 (/research -- data only), ada2 (/home), ada3 (/data -- also data only) - the disk ada2 has failed - in preparing to replace ada2, I have commented out all references to it from /etc/fstab I am rebooting the machine at the moment as I wish to ensure that I know which physical disk is ada2, so want to boot the machine without it plugged in. I seem to have trouble booting at all with ada2 missing and ada3 still attached, but can boot to multiuser with no problems in either of these two configuration: - all disks (including the faulty one) plugged in, with ada2 references removed from /etc/fstab - ada2 and ada3 not physically plugged in, and all references to either removed from /etc/fstab Neither combination allows me to boot single-user. While I can clearly go ahead with my disk replacement, this is not only strange and annoying, but potentially problematic. Has anyone else seen anything like this? I notice that there are several messages (dating back to 2004) in the list indicating 'hang after Trying to mount root' or 'hang after sbin_init' (which is the message that will be seen when booting single-user in verbose mode). Thoughts? Ideas?

8.0-RELEASE upgrade -- no files visible
I have a puzzler. After postponing an upgrade from 7.2 to 8.0 for some time, I now am attempting to make the transition. In the 7.2 install, I have one dangerously dedicated disk used only for backup (the accommodation of which is why I postponed the install in the first place), as well as a boot disk that was set up using slices. In addition, I have an external USB mass storage device that I have placed level 0 dumps of all filesystems upon. When I install 8.0 to a fresh disk (which is then set up using sysinstall), I can boot off the fresh disk and see all of the just-installed files perfectly. Here is the puzzler: if I boot 8.0, and mount any filesystem that was created by 7.2 or earlier, I cannot see any files. This includes both the non-DD internal disk (which is the boot disk for 7.2), as well as the external USB mass storage (formatted using UFS, but also not a DD setup). To add to the puzzle, df reports a usage number that reflects the block allocation, but ls does not report any filesystem entries. My primary objective is to make the dump files available under 8.0, so I tried booting 7.2 again, mounting my new (empty) /home partition and placing the files there -- this seemed to work as seen under 7.2, however when I rebooted using 8.0, there are again no files visible in this partition. Does anyone have any ideas on: (a) what the underlying problem could be (noting that although I have a DD disk, it is not involved in this process in any way) -- especially given that it seems to affect the filesystems on the external drive, or (b) what a path might be to getting the dump files to the new system so that I can use it? (I should mention that the dumps are rather huge (~100Gb), so a network based solution is rather unpalatable).

dump(8) using snapshot + recommended cache
Hi All; I regularly use dump(8) with snapshots to back up my server. While this seems to have been working perfectly well so far, upon (re)reading the man page for dump(8), I have noticed a somewhat scary pair of lines in the paragraph describing the option for -C cachesize (emphasis with stars mine): [Use of this option] will greatly improve performance at the cost of ***dump possibly not noticing changes in the file system*** between passes. ***It is recommended that you always use this option when dumping a snapshot.*** Does anyone know what, exactly, this means? In particular, is the first statement actually trying to say: Use of this option will greatly improve performance; however it may be that changes made to the filesystem made between _dump_ passes will be ignored. ***The resulting dumped filesystem image will be consistent and correct based on a timestamp no later than that of the point at which the dump was started***. Is this a fair statement? Is this guaranteed? Or are we trying to say that: The resulting filesystem will contain images of individual files based on a timestamp no later than that of the point at which the dump was started, however any individual files modified after the dump begins may be stored using any of the version that appeared written to disk during the period of the dump. As far as the second line goes, I am not at all clear on what this is trying to say. Why is the cache recommended? For speed? Stability? Output correctness? In particular, if a snapshot dump is made without a cache option, is it potentially corrupt? In particular, if the second attempt above is more true than the first, it seems to me that we should _not_ recommend the use of a cache with snapshots, as it seems to erode the utility of the snapshot itself. It is for this reason that I am suspecting that there is more here than meets the eye, which is why I am keen to make sure that this is clear. I am very happy to put in an update to the docs if we can make sure that we know exactly what we are trying to say here.

If that sounds good, I'll make a doc patch. Out of curiosity, under what circumstances is the improved performance the most likely? I dump from cron when the system usage is low, and haven't noticed any significant difference in time with or without cacheing -- but I haven't done any testing under heavy load, nor with limited RAM, so there are many mbufs available in any case.

Running with a readonly root partition
As devfs is running by default, it seems to me that it would be relatively easy to run with a readonly root partition, assuming that the directories under which writing is necessary (ie; /tmp, /var, /home) are located in separate, writable partitions. The main advantages are that none of the configuration files or binaries in /etc and /usr (which may still be on a separate readonly partition) are vulnerable to attack (even from a local privilege escalation) without remounting the partition as writable. This used to be a very common setup in the *NIX world, so I am surprised to find little to no mention of it in the archives. I set up my machine this way a couple of months back, and have noticed some minor things (some few things assume a writable /etc, notably including dump(8), and the boot process update to /etc/motd). Once these have been rectified by relocating the files and setting up symlinks, there have been no problems. My questions are: - does anyone else do this? - if not, why not? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: USB HD based backup schemes
You haven't mentioned how large a USB drive you have available to use for this scheme, but it sounds to me like your situation can be summed up as follows: - you have two machines to back up, one is remote, but both have consistent network accessibility - you have a (removable) drive upon which you want to place regular backups, based on some use of dump/restore, and presumably this drive is large enough for all backup data, to be managed under some rotation scheme (old -vs- current directories, for example) - the main question is how to collect and organize the data onto this (removable) drive on a machine remote from the one being backed up If the above pretty much fits the bill, I would suggest a simple script to be run out of cron to copy the data. Keep in mind that you can easily transfer the data directly from dump to your remote machine by piping it into an ssh command. On your dobby machine, a command of the form: dump 1nuLf - /my/data | ssh -x kreacher /path/to/some/handler/script will present the dump output to a script run on the backup machine that can presumably ensure sane handling of the incoming data and potentially mount your USB device. Passing the mount point on dobby as an argument to your remote script will help you organize things if you have set up multiple filesystems on dobby that you need to dump separately. Note that I am assuming here that you have made a zero level dump and that it will be perpetually available in some safe place. I'm sure that I could roll my own with dump or such, but I'm sure that I would leave important things out and that this has already been done by people who are smarter and more experienced than I am. So recommendations please. As long as you are dumping whole filesystems, I don't really see how you can leave anything out -- recovery is then simply a case of: - boot off an install/live CD - fdisk, label, newfs - restore dump level 0, restore most recent dump level 1 ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: OpenBSD - FreeBSD migration
The results of my investigation so far are below: Filesystem stuff: - it appears that FreeBSD and OpenBSD use the same partition table format. Is this true? If so, I can potentially avoid rebuilding an entire disk if I am right that ... - FreeBSD can mount and read OpenBSD's version of the 4.2 BSD filesystem implementation Although I strongly suspect that the filesystem itself is probably the same, it is not possible to read an OpenBSD mounted partition, as far as I can tell. After booting using FreeBSD, fdisk correctly reports the information regarding the slice set up by OpenBSD (default 4, not 1, the FreeBSD default), however bsdlabel under FreeBSD cannot interpret any of the data found at the location reported in the table read by fdisk. I do find this somewhat surprising, as it is the same structures that are being recorded. Perhaps there is a magic number issue here that causes bsdlabel to believe that it can't interpret the data as the message returned is that there is no label present in the indicated slice. This makes the filesystem question moot, as without access to the BSD partition results there is no clue as to where to begin access of the filesystem. - even if the above isn't true, it appears that the format used by dump/restore is consistent. I have tried dumping/restoring some small filesystems to test this, but if this is an unsupported way to go, I would like to know now. This seems to work. I was successfully able to dump filesystems under OpenBSD and then restore them under FreeBSD, with general success (albeit a complaint that the dump header is out of date).

burning DVD's on a robotic burner. Running a central iso repository
Hi, Just at the idea phase at the moment. I have played with various command line tests, but would like to make sure I am not re-inventing the wheel before I progress further. Therefore: 1. Just wondering if anyone knows of a robotic DVD burner/printer that can be integrated with FreeBSD. Ideally I would like it to be able to run 'growisofs' and have it burn the DVD on the networked robotic CD/DVD burner. The burner would have a built in CD/DVD printer. I am thinking the software package would have a web page to allow people to upload a graphic, and/or just a CD/DVD text title, that would be printed onto the CD/DVD. Having one central burner would save me having to issue out DVD burners to multiple users. 2. Conversely, I am looking into having a central DVD reader, that staff would insert a DVD, type some meta-data into a webpage, and then click on the convert button. FreeBSD would then read the CD/DVD and create an iso image of it. The iso image would be placed into a repository, from where they could be mounted as needed, and shared out via samba. An email would be sent out once the CD/DVD has been converted detailing how to access the iso file. This all becomes important when a site moves to using thin clients and Terminal Servers.

how to change the root user's name on FreeBSD 6.1 running postfix
Hi, I am running postfix on FreeBSD 4.11 and 6.1 servers. In FreeBSD 4.11, you can run 'chsh root' and edit the name to what you want. However, on my FreeBSD 6.1 servers, I still receive email addressed from 'root unix'. I would like to be able to differentiate the root mail according to server the mail came from :-) Any idea's?

Your test would be a little simpler if you just test one IP address:
your ISP's upstream router. Its reachability is quite definitive re:
whether your ISP link is up or down.
Even it it's assigned dynamically by DHCP, you should be able to
write a script that pulls that IP, pings it a few times, and checks
the result. No special tools necessarily required.

Hi All,
Thanks for your input. I was hoping there was another cmd/util out there
similar to fping that I could elegantly use. I like the above idea though,
so I ended up using this to isolate the upstream ISP gateway IP:
traceroute -nm 2 close-by Internet IP | tail -1 | awk '{ print $2 }'
Integrated that into the fping Perl script and we are away!
Thanks once again :-)
Cheers,
Paul Hamilton

using fping to monitor internet connection status
Hi, I need to monitor a number of IP addresses, so that if they ALL go down (say three IP's), then that is a pretty good indication that my server has lost internet connectivity. The most probable cause is usually the ADSL router, and therefore needs a reboot. I was hoping to use the 'fping' program, but looking through the man file, there doesn't seem to be an exit status on loosing ALL the pings. If one goes down, I don't care, maybe that server is down, so keep pinging the other two etc. I was hoping to write this in Perl (the first fping example looked ok, until I realised that it would activate when any one IP address became unreachable, which means that I am still connected to the Internet). Any idea's on a ping tool or simple script?

Automating a FreeBSD 6.0 boot menu selection
Hi all, I have a HP DL-140 G2 server, that will only boot when I select FreeBSD Safe mode, option 3 on the boot loader menu. I have read through 'man loader' and 'man loader.conf' I have also had a read through the /boot/defaults/loader.conf file, but don't really see an option for this. Is there a way to auto select a menu option upon boot up? I am running FreeBSD 6.1-PRERELEASE, and have tried 6.0 RELEASE as well. Obviously it would be nice to have it start up normally, but there seems to be a problem reading the SATA drive in normal boot mode.

Adding 4 port HP NC150T NIC into FreeBSD 4.11
Hi, I have an internal HP DL-140 running FreeBSD 4.11p13. The two internal NIC's (bge1 bge2) and a HP NC150T PCI NIC (bge0), are all running fine. I have just pulled out the 1 port PCI NIC, and installed a HP 4 port NIC. Interestingly, I found that only the first port on the NIC (BCM5705K - bge0), is recognised by FreeBSD.

Enumerating a Windows based PC from a FreeBSD based server
Hi, I am trying to document which managed switch port (HP 4000m), a users PC is plugged into. I had thought to use a login script to dump some info into a MySQL DB, but I am now leaning on scanning the switch, and build up the data backwards from there. The info will all end up on a PHP searchable web page. I should then be able to track admin logins (does anyone know the passwd?), have some users given their username and passwd to someone else to use? Etc. I have found the SNMP OID's of the IP and MAC addresses and the switch port number the computer is plugged into. From a DNS lookup, I can find the PC name, but how do I find out the current logged in user name on the PC, remotely from a FreeBSD server? The GFI LanGuard network scanner is a very informative tool: http://www.gfi.com/lannetscan/ so having something similar to this on a FreeBSD server would be great.

The GPI/O is nowhere to be to been seen on this drawing, but the webpage for the VT1211 (http://www.via.com.tw/en/products/peripherals/super-io/) lists 56 General Purpose I/O Pins My guess would be that that's what you're looking for. You'd have to talk to VIA how the 8 pins on the mobo are connected to the VT1211. VIA has released an IrDA driver for the VT1211, but it is Linux-only and binary-only. You could write VIA and ask them to release enough documentation to allow a driver for the digital I/O pins to be written. Good luck.

RE: Re: C program to write to the com port - RESOLVED
Hi vittorio,
Hey I am just a beginner myself, but this is a C program, not a C++ program.
My gcc is version 3.4.2 too.
Hmm, did you cut and paste ALL of the source code, including the #include
statements? I also see that it's mentioning code on lines 62, 66 and 69.
My testssc.c only has around 57 lines of code. What else have you included?
Cheers,
Paul

RE: Serial Port data dumping program
Hi Ian, -Original Message- From: Ian Smith [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, 10 September 2005 3:16 AM To: Paul Hamilton Cc: Glenn Dawson; freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: RE: Serial Port data dumping program Hi Paul, catching up on a week's digests .. and seeig no further messages on this topic so far, I don't know whether you've sorted this out yet. Anyway.. Snip I have been using the 'minicom' port to dump the received data. I guess you mean the _transmitted_ data, right? I just grabbed the manual at http://www.seetron.com/pdf/ssc2_mnl.pdf and note that the board only _receives_ command data packets. Yes that's correct 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) Yep, a typo, should have been: 0xff Well, it should be 0-7 (for 1 board, 8-15 for a second board, etc) Yes I was confused about what the starting address was. After looking at the bytes being sent from the Windows program, I could see the correct starting address was 0. byte 3: 0x00 - 0x255 // servo position Same question as above. Brain thinking in hex, fingers working in decimal ;-) Actually it's 0-254 (0x00 - 0xfe) .. 0xff would be another sync byte. True. 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 030 ff83 8203 03ff ff81 8003 7fff 7fff 7eff 040 01ff ff7f 7f02 03ff ff7f ff7f 8001 02ff 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. Maybe flow control? Is the serial port's UART programmed to ignore CTS/RTS, and/or DTR/DSR? You say you've only wired signal ground, and TxD to RxD, but you 'normally' can't transmit unless CTS is asserted (say, by RTS), may need DTR/DSR too, and perhaps expect DCD to receive? I don't really get what you're doing with minicom - are you receiving the data on another port, or just echoing your transmitted data back? This is what I thought as well. I had a serial port breakout box wired inline and configured pretty well as you mention. Once I had found the Windows mini-ssc program, I then 'just for a lark' pulled one jumper wire at a time, until I found that it was working as a straight through cable! snip paqi% hexdump fgjdg kj ^D 000 6766 646a 2067 6a6b 000a 009 paqi% hd fgjdg kj ^D 66 67 6a 64 67 20 6b 6a 0a |fgjdg kj.| 0009 Is there a better program I could use to display the incoming serial data in hex? hd :) Again, you mean a reflection of your outgoing data, don't you? 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. You could try 2 stop bits - they say one or more. In the second example program in (good grief!) QBASIC in the above PDF manual, they begin by initialising the serial port thus: OPEN com1:9600,N,8,1,CD0,CS0,DS0,OP0 FOR OUTPUT AS #1; I gather CD0 means ignore DCD, CS0 ignore CTS, DS0 ignore DSR; don't know about OP0. Seems you need no flow control, or null-modem wiring? Cheers, Ian Ah, hd! Yes this is a nice program. No byte re-ordering I have noted it down :-) I don't know if you saw one of my other threads C program to write to the com port which is now resolved. I started this thread to help with the troubleshooting of the serial data coming from the C Program. It's interesting that minicom seems to skip recording the 0x00 servo address byte!

C program to write to the com port

port at 9600 baud, 8n1. I am trying to control a Northlight 8 Channel Servo
motor controller:
http://home.att.net/~northlightsystems/DMX512toRCservo.htm

exit(1);
};

Now I am just a beginner at C code, so I feel pretty good getting this far
(hey, it compiles :-) However, a miss is as good as a mile, and so it
doesn't work :-( Having said that, I have a serial port LED breakout
device watching, and I can see a blip on the TX line when I run the compiled
program. This is just meant to be test code, i.e.. Get it working before
cleaning it up etc :-)
I have tried connecting the computers serial port to another one, running:
'cu -s 9600 -l cuaa0' but I don't see anything. Having said that, I don't
see anything if I run the same on the other PC (yes, the TX-RX lines are
swapped over), so maybe that is a problem with my serial cable between the
two computers.
The Servo Controller only needs two wires: signal ground and TX so not
much to go wrong there, and as I said above, I do see a blip on the TX LED
when I run the program.
Questions:
1. Am I really sending the data correctly at 9600baud, 8n1?
2. Am I really sending the hex bytes: FF 00 90 out (or am I sending an
pointer address)?
3. What am I missing?
Thanks.

Paul Hamilton

The NICs, HDD, USB, CLI work fine. Audio and X-Windows should work too. (I have only tested this on an EPIA M-1, but there it worked without any problems. The onboard graphic chip is fast enough for most 2D application, but it was to slow for me to playback xvid/divx, but an additional PCI graphic card should solve this problem.) When transfering data via ftp I get about 10MB/s up/down. Make buildworld takes about two hours. All in all, it is a nice system and fits my needs. I like it.

RE: Detailed logging of ssh sessions
Hi Bill, Just as a side note, to help with people guessing a password, how about having a script that monitors the auth.log file and when you get more than X number of entries of username/password tries coming from one IP, it then writes a firewall entry that blocks the IP. You could have a counter/timer, that would release the IP after Y number of minutes (24 hours?). Of course, you could exclude your usual admin IP's from being monitored. Cheers, Paul Hamilton -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bill Moran Sent: Sunday, 19 June 2005 11:39 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Detailed logging of ssh sessions I've been researching this, and so far haven't found a way to do what I want to do. I have servers here and there, that should only be accessible by a limited number of administrators via ssh (i.e. mail and web servers, firewalls). As an added security measure, I'd like to start logging everything that happens during any ssh login (since all our work on these machines is via ssh). I understand, and frequently use script(1), but I want this to be required. I have two goals: 1) If someone manages to guess a password and break in, I want a log of what they're doing. 2) I want 100% guarantee that everything we do is recorded, to make future debugging of configuration mistakes easier. I've been researching sshd, and it doesn't seem as if it has this capability. Web searches have not yet turned up anything ...

Hi, Thanks. Hmm, I am pretty sure you still need to re-compile IPFW etc. After a bit of a panic, and a dig around, I found that things have changed, and the compiled ipfw file is now located in: /usr/obj/usr/src/sbin/ipfw/ipfw this can then be copied to /sbin/ipfw same for the libalias.so.4 file.

Where is Bill Paul's NDIS miniport driver wrapper?

FreeBSD IP Device Driver
I'm currently working on building a simple token ring networking scheme over the parallel port (/dev/ppi0) for a graduate project. The project itself is to be used later for educational purposes, illustrating how you can build a network from the ground up through hardware developement, framing, and layering. The hardware is done, simple token managment is working, and data can be passed around the ring. So basically I have the physical and datalink layers mostly done. It's my understanding that if I can get my program to speak IP to FreeBSD (through a kernel module or something else) I could inherit its TCP/IP stack. Ideally I would like to have my simple token ring as another network device that could be used just like any other network interface. I've been reading through FreeBSD's handbooks and poking through /usr/src/sys/dev/. * Developers' Handbook: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/developers-handbook/index.html * FreeBSD Architecture Handbook (esp. Section II: Device Drivers): http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/arch-handbook/index.html Basically I think I'm just looking for some guidance. Am I on the right track? or am I confused? I haven't had the best luck with google, so any other reading material would be greatly appreciated.

Taking a snapshot of a UFS filesystem
Hi All, In the December 2003, Sys Admin magazine (www.sysadminmag.com), there was an article (pg 17), about doing Oracle DB Backups using UFS Snapshots. This was implemented using a facility built into Solaris. I have read about other snapshot products for MS Windows NTFS etc. Is there a way to do snapshot backups using FreeBSD's UFS? Hmm, after writing the above, I thought I should at least google for 'freebsd snapshot backup'. Well, low and behold, there it is in 5.0+ Cool! OK, I will remod my question, is there any talk of having the snapshot feature being retro fitted to 4.x stable? (or is there some other util/port out there that does this?) Cheers, Paul PS.

PCI Raid 5 cards for FreeBSD
Hi, I have seen both the Promise and 3ware raid cards mentioned over time in this mailing list. I would like to be able to run a 1-2TB raid 5 SATA on FreeBSD 4.9. Is anyone using a card from these suppliers? Will FreeBSD install on a Raid 5 array (after it has been configured in the Array BIOS)? Does FreeBSD have any in built driver/mechanism to monitor the array's health? Is there another SATA Raid controller company out there I have missed, that covers FreeBSD?

RE: How to find our what version of ports your running?
Hmmm... Thanks for that Lowell. Yes I knew about the pkg_version cmd. I was just hoping that I had missed a command or file that explain it all. I started digging around, and found that the /usr/ports/LEGAL file has the following: # $FreeBSD: ports/LEGAL,v 1.274 2003/02/19 04:24:53 marcus Exp $ as one of the headers, so I guess, that is a rough indication of when it was compiled. Perhaps it might even roughly tie in with the FTP site iso Hmmm, just checked, and they only show 4.8 as the oldest: April 2003 So I guess, that ports version came with 4.7. Anyway, thanks everyone.

tip on using mount_smbfs with the nsmb.conf config file
Hi All, After spending 1-2 fruitless hours trying to track down why I couldn't automate my script to log into the local W2K server, I found that the mount_smbfs man file is incorrect. At least with FreeBSD 4.7 anyway. Maybe it just needs updating. The default global location for the nsmb.conf file should be the /etc directory, not the /usr/local/etc directory, as stated in the man file, and a few web pages I googled. ~.nsmbrc worked ok.

RE: adding a quirk for a USB memory device
Thanks for the help Roland. I was getting ready to edit and recompile
scsi_da.c via doing a kernel re-compile, when I noticed in archives the
'sysctl kern.cam.da.no_6_byte=1' hack.
I tried it out on the command line and found it worked! I didn't have to
recompile after all! I added the command to /etc/sysctl.conf, and all is
well in USB land ;-) I can now plug-unplug the USB memory stick.
Just thought I would mention it for the archives.
Cheers,
Paul Hamilton

Subject: adding a quirk for a USB memory device
Hi all,
So many questions...
I can mount/access (mount -t msdos /dev/da0s1 /mnt) my 'Apacer 16MB
HandySteno 1.1' USB memory key stick as long as it's connected when I power
up my FreeBSD 4.8 server. It does give an error msg on the console saying:
(da0:umass-sim0:0:0): READ(6)/WRITE(6) not supported, increasing
minimum_cmd_size to 10.
I take it that it has done the increasing by it's self using the Apacer
quirk in /usr/src/sys/cam/scsi/scsi_da.c
I found a bit of info on this at:
http://www.root.org/~nate/freebsd/quirks.html but it neglects to say how to
recompile scsi_da after it has been edited. It also doesn't go into much
detail on how to get the info needed to add a quirk.
'camcontrol devlist -v' reports:

scbus-1 on xpt0 bus 0:

If I unmount it (umount /mnt), disconnect it, and later remount it I get:

it's then lost, until I next reboot the PC.
Qu: is my Apacer device the same one that is mentioned in the scsi_da.c
quirk i.e.,
{T_DIRECT, SIP_MEDIA_REMOVABLE, Apacer, HandyDrive,
*},
/*quirks*/ DA_Q_NO_6_BYTE|DA_Q_NO_SYNC_CACHE
Qu: Do I need another quirk added to the above Apacer quirk, or a whole new
quirk, as I have a Apacer Handy Steno, not a HandyDrive?
Qu: Since 'camcontrol devlist -v' reports that my USB device as a ' USB
DISK 2.08' do I need to set that name up as a quirk instead?
Qu: If I do need to edit/create a new quirk, what method do I use to compile
the file etc?
NOTE: *Any* info I appear to be lacking would be appreciated! :-)
