<para>As is usual with Usenet FAQs, this document aims to cover the
most frequently asked questions concerning the &os; operating
system (and of course answer them!). Although originally intended
to reduce bandwidth and avoid the same old questions being asked
over and over again, FAQs have become recognized as valuable
information resources.</para>
<para>Every effort has been made to make this FAQ as informative as
possible; if you have any suggestions as to how it may be
improved, please feel free to mail them to the &a.doc;.</para>

<question id="what-is-FreeBSD">
<para>What is &os;?</para>
</question>
<answer>
<para>Briefly, &os; is a &unix; like operating system for
AMD64 and &intel; EM64T, &i386; PC-98, IA-64, &arm;,
&powerpc; and &ultrasparc; platforms based on U.C.
Berkeley's <quote>4.4BSD-Lite</quote> release, with some
<quote>4.4BSD-Lite2</quote> enhancements. It is also based
indirectly on William Jolitz's port of U.C. Berkeley's
<quote>Net/2</quote> to the &i386;, known as
<quote>386BSD</quote>, though very little of the 386BSD code
remains. A fuller description of what &os; is and how it
can work for you may be found on the <ulink
url="&url.base;/index.html">&os; home page</ulink>.
</para>
<para>&os; is used by companies, Internet Service Providers,
researchers, computer professionals, students and home users
all over the world in their work, education and
recreation.</para>
<para>For more detailed information on &os;, please see the

<question id="FreeBSD-goals">
<para>What is the goal of the &os; Project?</para>
</question>
<answer>
<para>The goal of the &os; Project is to provide software that
may be used for any purpose and without strings attached.
Many of us have a significant investment in the code (and
project) and would certainly not mind a little financial
compensation now and then, but we definitely do not insist
on it. We believe that our first and foremost
<quote>mission</quote> is to provide code to any and all
comers, and for whatever purpose, so that the code gets the
widest possible use and provides the widest possible
benefit. This is, we believe, one of the most fundamental
goals of Free Software and one that we enthusiastically
support.</para>
<para>That code in our source tree which falls under the
<ulink
url="http://www.FreeBSD.org/copyright/COPYING">GNU General Public License (GPL)</ulink>
or <ulink
url="http://www.FreeBSD.org/copyright/COPYING.LIB">GNU Library General Public License (LGPL)</ulink>
comes with slightly more strings attached, though at least
on the side of enforced access rather than the usual
opposite. Due to the additional complexities that can
evolve in the commercial use of GPL software, we do,
however, endeavor to replace such software with submissions
under the more relaxed <ulink
url="http://www.FreeBSD.org/copyright/freebsd-license.html">&os; license</ulink>
whenever possible.</para>
</answer>
</qandaentry>
<qandaentry>
<question id="bsd-license-restrictions">
<para>Does the &os; license have any restrictions?</para>
</question>
<answer>
<para>Yes. Those restrictions do not control how you use the
code, merely how you treat the &os; Project itself. If you
have serious license concerns, read the actual <ulink
url="http://www.FreeBSD.org/copyright/freebsd-license.html">license</ulink>.
For the simply curious, the license can be summarized like
this.</para>

<question id="replace-current-OS">
<para>Can &os; replace my current operating system?</para>
</question>
<answer>
<para>For most people, yes. But this question is not quite
that cut-and-dried.</para>
<para>Most people do not actually use an operating system.
They use applications. The applications are what really use
the operating system. &os; is designed to provide a robust
and full-featured environment for applications. It supports
a wide variety of web browsers, office suites, email
readers, graphics programs, programming environments,
network servers, and just about everything else you might
want. Most of these applications can be managed through the
<ulink
url="http://www.FreeBSD.org/ports/">Ports Collection</ulink>.
</para>
<para>If you need to use an application that is only available
on one operating system, you simply cannot replace that
operating system. Chances are there is a very similar
application on &os;, however. If you want a solid office or
Internet server, a reliable workstation, or just the ability
to do your job without interruptions, &os; will almost

<para>What is the latest version of &os;?</para>
</question>
<!--
This answer is a hack to deal with the fact that for now there are
multiple "latest" versions of FreeBSD.
-->
<answer>
<para>At this point in &os;'s development, there are two
parallel development branches; releases are being made from
both branches. The 6.<replaceable>X</replaceable> series of
releases is being made from the
<emphasis>6-STABLE</emphasis> branch and the
7.<replaceable>X</replaceable> series of releases from
<emphasis>7-STABLE</emphasis>.</para>
<para>Up until the release of 7.0, the
6.<replaceable>X</replaceable> series was the one known as
<emphasis>-STABLE</emphasis>. However, as of 7.0, the
6.<replaceable>X</replaceable> branch will be designated for
an <quote>extended support</quote> status and receive only
fixes for major problems, such as security-related fixes.
There will be more releases made from the
<emphasis>6-STABLE</emphasis> branch, but it is considered a
<quote>legacy</quote> branch and most current work will only
become a part of <emphasis>7-STABLE</emphasis>.</para>
<para>Version <ulink
url="ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/&rel.current;-RELEASE/">&rel.current;</ulink>
is the latest release from the <emphasis>7-STABLE</emphasis>
branch; it was released in &rel.current.date;. Version
<ulink
url="ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/&rel2.current;-RELEASE/">&rel2.current;</ulink>
is the latest release from the <emphasis>6-STABLE</emphasis>
branch; it was released in &rel2.current.date;.</para>
<para>Briefly, <emphasis>-STABLE</emphasis> is aimed at the
ISP, corporate user, or any user who wants stability and a
minimal number of changes compared to the new (and possibly
unstable) features of the latest
<emphasis>-CURRENT</emphasis> snapshot. Releases can come
from either branch, but <emphasis>-CURRENT</emphasis> should
only be used if you are prepared for its increased
volatility (relative to <emphasis>-STABLE</emphasis>, that
is).</para>
<para>Releases are made <link
linkend="release-freq">every few months</link>. While
many people stay more up-to-date with the &os; sources (see
the questions on <link
linkend="current">&os.current;</link> and <link
linkend="stable">&os.stable;</link>) than that, doing so
is more of a commitment, as the sources are a moving
target.</para>

<para>What is <emphasis>&os;-CURRENT</emphasis>?</para>
</question>
<answer>
<para><ulink
url="&url.books.handbook;/cutting-edge.html#CURRENT">&os.current;</ulink>
is the development version of the operating system, which
will in due course become the new &os.stable; branch. As
such, it is really only of interest to developers working on
the system and die-hard hobbyists. See the <ulink
url="&url.books.handbook;/cutting-edge.html#CURRENT">relevant section</ulink>
in the <ulink
url="&url.books.handbook;/index.html">Handbook</ulink> for
details on running <emphasis>-CURRENT</emphasis>.</para>
<para>If you are not familiar with the operating system or are
not capable of identifying the difference between a real
problem and a temporary problem, you should not use
&os.current;. This branch sometimes evolves quite quickly
and can be un-buildable for a number of days at a time.
People that use &os.current; are expected to be able to
analyze any problems and only report them if they are deemed
to be mistakes rather than <quote>glitches</quote>.
Questions such as <quote>make world produces some error
about groups</quote> on the &a.current; may be treated with
contempt.</para>
<para>Every month, <ulink
url="&url.base;/snapshots/">snapshot</ulink>
releases are made based on the current state of the
<emphasis>-CURRENT</emphasis> and
<emphasis>-STABLE</emphasis> branches. The goals behind
each snapshot release are:</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>To test the latest version of the installation
software.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>To give people who would like to run
<emphasis>-CURRENT</emphasis> or
<emphasis>-STABLE</emphasis> but who do not have the
time or bandwidth to follow it on a day-to-day basis an
easy way of bootstrapping it onto their systems.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>To preserve a fixed reference point for the code in
question, just in case we break something really badly
later. (Although CVS normally prevents anything
horrible like this happening.)</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>To ensure that all new features and fixes in need of
testing have the greatest possible number of potential
testers.</para>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<para>No claims are made that any
<emphasis>-CURRENT</emphasis> snapshot can be considered
<quote>production quality</quote> for any purpose. If you
want to run a stable and fully tested system, you will have
to stick to full releases, or use the
<emphasis>-STABLE</emphasis> snapshots.</para>
<para>Snapshot releases are directly available from <ulink
url="&url.base;/snapshots/">snapshot</ulink>.
</para>
<para>Official snapshots are generated each month on a regular
basis for all actively developed branches. There are also

<question id="stable">
<para>What is the <emphasis>&os;-STABLE</emphasis>
concept?</para>
</question>
<answer>
<para>Back when &os; 2.0.5 was released, &os; development
branched in two. One branch was named <ulink
url="&url.books.handbook;/current-stable.html#STABLE">-STABLE</ulink>,
one <ulink
url="&url.books.handbook;/current-stable.html#CURRENT">-CURRENT</ulink>.
<emphasis>&os;-STABLE</emphasis> is intended for Internet
Service Providers and other commercial enterprises for whom
sudden shifts or experimental features are quite
undesirable. It receives only well-tested bug fixes and
other small incremental enhancements.
<emphasis>&os;-CURRENT</emphasis>, on the other hand, has
been one unbroken line since 2.0 was released, leading
towards &rel.current;-RELEASE and beyond. For more detailed
information on branches see <quote><ulink
url="&url.articles.releng;/release-proc.html#REL-BRANCH">&os; Release Engineering: Creating the Release Branch</ulink></quote>,
the status of the branches and the upcoming release schedule
can be found on the <ulink
url="http://www.FreeBSD.org/releng">Release Engineering Information</ulink> page.
</para>
<para>The 2.2-STABLE branch was retired with the release of
2.2.8. The 3-STABLE branch has ended with the release of
3.5.1, the final 3.<replaceable>X</replaceable> release.
The 4-STABLE branch has ended with the release of 4.11, the
final 4.<replaceable>X</replaceable> release. The only
changes made to either of these branches will be, for the
most part, security-related bug fixes. Support for the
5-STABLE branches has ended with the release of 5.5, the
final 5.<replaceable>X</replaceable> release. Support for
the 6-STABLE branches will continue for some time but focus
primarily on security-related bug fixes and other serious
issues.</para>
<para>&rel.current;-STABLE is the actively developed
<emphasis>-STABLE</emphasis> branch. The latest release on
the &rel.current;-STABLE branch is &rel.current;-RELEASE,
which was released in &rel.current.date;.</para>
<para>The 8-CURRENT branch is the actively developed
<emphasis>-CURRENT</emphasis> branch toward the next

<question id="release-freq">
<para>When are &os; releases made?</para>
</question>
<answer>
<para>The &a.re; releases a new major version of &os; about
every 18 months and a new minor version about every 8 months,
on average. Release dates are announced well in advance, so
that the people working on the system know when their
projects need to be finished and tested. A testing period
precedes each release, in order to ensure that the addition
of new features does not compromise the stability of the
release. Many users regard this caution as one of the best
things about &os;, even though waiting for all the latest
goodies to reach <emphasis>-STABLE</emphasis> can be a
little frustrating.</para>

(including a schedule of upcoming releases) can be found on

from Jacques Vidrine to the &a.mobile; describes a procedure
which may work if your newer IBM laptop does not boot &os;
properly, and you can upgrade or downgrade the BIOS.</para>
<para>If you have an earlier BIOS, and upgrading is not an
option, a workaround is to install &os;, change the partition
ID &os; uses, and install new boot blocks that can handle
the different partition ID.</para>
<para>First, you will need to restore the machine to a state
where it can get through its self-test screen. Doing this
requires powering up the machine without letting it find a
&os; partition on its primary disk. One way is to remove
the hard disk and temporarily move it to an older ThinkPad
(such as a ThinkPad 600) or a desktop PC with an appropriate
conversion cable. Once it is there, you can delete the &os;
partition and move the hard disk back. The ThinkPad should
now be in a bootable state again.</para>
<para>With the machine functional again, you can use the
workaround procedure described here to get a working &os;

What is happening?</para>
</question>
<answer>
<para>If you are seeing things like the machine grinding to a
halt or spontaneously rebooting when you try to boot the
install floppy, here are three questions to ask
yourself:</para>
<orderedlist>
<listitem>
<para>Did you use a new, freshly-formatted, error-free
floppy (preferably a brand-new one straight out of the
box, as opposed to the magazine cover disk that has been
lying under the bed for the last three years)?</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>Did you download the floppy image in binary (or
image) mode? (do not be embarrassed, even the best of us
have accidentally downloaded a binary file in ASCII mode
at least once!)</para>

<listitem>
<para>If you are using &windows; 95 or
&windows; 98 did you run <command>fdimage</command>
or <command>rawrite</command> in pure DOS mode? These
operating systems can interfere with programs that write
directly to hardware, which the disk creation program
does; even running it inside a DOS shell in the GUI can
cause this problem.</para>

<question id="no-install-cdrom">
<para>I booted from my ATAPI CD-ROM, but the install program
says no CD-ROM is found. Where did it go?</para>
</question>
<answer>
<para>The usual cause of this problem is a mis-configured
CD-ROM drive. Many PCs now ship with the CD-ROM as the slave
device on the secondary IDE controller, with no master
device on that controller. This is illegal according to the
ATAPI specification, but &windows; plays fast and loose with
the specification, and the BIOS ignores it when booting.
This is why the BIOS was able to see the CD-ROM to boot from
it, but why &os; cannot see it to complete the
install.</para>
<para>Reconfigure your system so that the CD-ROM is either the
master device on the IDE controller it is attached to, or
make sure that it is the slave on an IDE controller that
also has a master device.</para>

<question id="geometry">
<para>Which geometry should I use for a disk drive?</para>
</question>
<answer>
<note>
<para>By the <quote>geometry</quote> of a disk, we mean
the number of cylinders, heads and sectors/track on a
disk. We will refer to this as C/H/S for convenience.
This is how the PC's BIOS works out which area on a disk
to read/write from.</para>
</note>
<para>This causes a lot of confusion among new system
administrators. First of all, the
<emphasis>physical</emphasis> geometry of a SCSI drive is
totally irrelevant, as &os; works in term of disk blocks.
In fact, there is no such thing as <quote>the</quote>
physical geometry, as the sector density varies across the
disk. What manufacturers claim is the <quote>physical
geometry</quote> is usually the geometry that they have
determined wastes the least space. For IDE disks, &os; does
work in terms of C/H/S, but all modern drives internally
convert this into block references.</para>
<para>All that matters is the <emphasis>logical</emphasis>
geometry. This is the answer that the BIOS gets when it
asks the drive <quote>what is your geometry?</quote> It then
uses this geometry to access the disk. As &os; uses the
BIOS when booting, it is very important to get this right.
In particular, if you have more than one operating system on
a disk, they must all agree on the geometry. Otherwise you
will have serious problems booting!</para>
<para>For SCSI disks, the geometry to use depends on whether
extended translation support is turned on in your controller
(this is often referred to as <quote>support for DOS disks
>1GB</quote> or something similar). If it is turned off,
then use <replaceable>N</replaceable> cylinders, 64 heads
and 32 sectors/track, where <replaceable>N</replaceable> is
the capacity of the disk in MB. For example, a 2 GB disk
should pretend to have 2048 cylinders, 64 heads and 32
sectors/track.</para>
<para>If it <emphasis>is</emphasis> turned on (it is often
supplied this way to get around certain limitations in
&ms-dos;) and the disk capacity is more than 1 GB, use
<replaceable>M</replaceable> cylinders, 63 sectors per track
(<emphasis>not</emphasis> 64), and 255 heads, where
<replaceable>M</replaceable> is the disk capacity in MB
divided by 7.844238 (!). So our example 2 GB drive
would have 261 cylinders, 63 sectors per track and 255
heads.</para>
<para>If you are not sure about this, or &os; fails to detect
the geometry correctly during installation, the simplest way
around this is usually to create a small DOS partition on
the disk. The BIOS should then detect the correct geometry,
and you can always remove the DOS partition in the partition
editor if you do not want to keep it. You might want to
leave it around for programming network cards and the like,
however.</para>
<para>Alternatively, there is a freely available utility
distributed with &os; called
<filename>pfdisk.exe</filename>. You can find it in the
<filename class="directory">tools</filename> subdirectory on
the &os; CD-ROM or on the various &os; FTP sites. This
program can be used to work out what geometry the other
operating systems on the disk are using. You can then enter
this geometry in the partition editor.</para>

<question id="disk-divide-restrictions">
<para>Are there any restrictions on how I divide the disk

</question>
<answer>
<para>Yes. You must make sure that your root partition is
below 1024 cylinders so the BIOS can boot the kernel from it.
(Note that this is a limitation in the PC's BIOS, not
&os;).</para>
<para>For a SCSI drive, this will normally imply that the root
partition will be in the first 1024 MB (or in the first
4096 MB if extended translation is turned on — see
previous question). For IDE, the corresponding figure is
504 MB.</para>

<question id="disk-manager">
<para>Is &os; compatible with any disk managers?</para>
</question>
<answer>
<para>&os; recognizes the <application>Ontrack Disk
Manager</application> and makes allowances for it. Other disk
managers are not supported.</para>
<para>If you just want to use the disk with &os; you do not
need a disk manager. Just configure the disk for as much
space as the BIOS can deal with (usually
504 megabytes), and &os; should figure out how much
space you really have. If you are using an old disk with an
MFM controller, you may need to explicitly tell &os; how
many cylinders to use.</para>
<para>If you want to use the disk with &os; and another
operating system, you may be able to do without a disk
manager: just make sure the &os; boot partition and the
slice for the other operating system are in the first 1024
cylinders. If you are reasonably careful, a
20 megabyte boot partition should be plenty.</para>

<question id="need-complete-sources">
<para>Do I need to install the complete sources?</para>

<para>In general, no. However, we would strongly recommend
that you install, at a minimum, the <literal>base</literal>
source kit, which includes several of the files mentioned
here, and the <literal>sys</literal> (kernel) source kit,
which includes sources for the kernel. There is nothing in
the system which requires the presence of the sources to
operate, however, except for the kernel-configuration
program &man.config.8;. With the exception of the kernel
sources, our build structure is set up so that you can
read-only mount the sources from elsewhere via NFS and still
be able to make new binaries (due to the kernel-source
restriction, we recommend that you not mount this on
<filename class="directory">/usr/src</filename> directly, but
rather in some other location with appropriate symbolic
links to duplicate the top-level structure of the source
tree).</para>
<para>Having the sources on-line and knowing how to build a
system with them will make it much easier for you to upgrade
to future releases of &os;.</para>
<para>To actually select a subset of the sources, use the

the kernel's configuration by much more flexible
<quote>hints</quote> which can be set at the loader

available if you need to share your password file with
legacy operating systems which still use the less secure
password format. &os; also allows you to use the Blowfish
password format, which is more secure. Which password

<question id="panic-on-install-reboot">
<para>Why do I get a <errorname>panic: can't mount
root</errorname> error when rebooting the system after
installation?</para>
</question>
<answer>
<para>This error comes from confusion between the boot block's
and the kernel's understanding of the disk devices. The
error usually manifests on two-disk IDE systems, with the
hard disks arranged as the master or single device on
separate IDE controllers, with &os; installed on the
secondary IDE controller. The boot blocks think the system
is installed on <devicename>ad0</devicename> (the second
BIOS disk) while the kernel assigns the first disk on the
secondary controller device, <devicename>ad2</devicename>.
After the device probing, the kernel tries to mount what the
boot blocks think is the boot disk,
<devicename>ad0</devicename>, while it is really
<devicename>ad2</devicename>, and fails.</para>
<para>To fix the problem, do one of the following:</para>
<orderedlist>
<listitem>
<para>Reboot the system and hit <keycap>Enter</keycap> at
the <literal>Booting kernel in 10 seconds; hit [Enter]
to interrupt</literal> prompt. This will drop you into
the boot loader.</para>
<para>Then type
<userinput>set root_disk_unit="<replaceable>disk_number</replaceable>"</userinput>.
<replaceable>disk_number</replaceable> will be
<literal>0</literal> if &os; is installed on the master
drive on the first IDE controller, <literal>1</literal>
if it is installed on the slave on the first IDE
controller, <literal>2</literal> if it is installed on
the master of the second IDE controller, and
<literal>3</literal> if it is installed on the slave of
the second IDE controller.</para>
<para>Then type <userinput>boot</userinput>, and your
system should boot correctly.</para>
<para>To make this change permanent (i.e, so you do not
have to do this every time you reboot or turn on your
&os; machine), put the line
<userinput>root_disk_unit="<replaceable>disk_number</replaceable>"</userinput>

<question id="memory-upper-limitation">
<para>Does &os; support more than 4 GB of memory (RAM)?
More than 16 GB? More than 48 GB?</para>
</question>
<answer>
<para>Yes. &os; as an operating system generally supports
as much physical memory (RAM) as the platform it is running
on does. Keep in mind that different platforms have
different limits for memory; for example &i386; without
<acronym>PAE</acronym> supports at most 4 GB of
memory (and usually less than that because of PCI address
space) and &i386; with PAE supports at most 64 GB
memory. AMD64 platforms currently deployed support up to
1 TB of physical memory.</para>
</answer>
</qandaentry>
<qandaentry>
<question id="memory-i386-over-4gb">
<para>Why does &os; report less than 4 GB memory when
installed on an &i386; machine?</para>
</question>
<answer>
<para>The total address space on &i386; machines is 32-bit,
meaning that at most 4 GB of memory is addressable (can
be accessed). Furthermore, some addresses in this range
are reserved by hardware for different purposes, for
example for using and controlling PCI devices, for
accessing video memory, and so on. Therefore, the total
amount of memory usable by the operating system for its
kernel and applications is limited to significantly less
than 4 GB. Usually, 3.2 GB to 3.7 GB is
the maximum usable physical memory in this
configuration.</para>
<para>To access more than 3.2 GB to 3.7 GB of
installed memory (meaning up to 4 GB but also more than
4 GB), a special tweak called <acronym>PAE</acronym>
must be used. PAE stands for Physical Address Extension
and is a way for 32-bit x86 CPUs to address more than
4 GB of memory. It remaps the memory that would
otherwise be overlayed by address reservations for
hardware devices above the 4 GB range and uses it as
additional physical memory (see &man.pae.4;). Using PAE
has some drawbacks; this mode of memory access is a little
bit slower than the normal (without PAE) mode and loadable
modules (see &man.kld.4;) are not supported. This means
all drivers must be compiled into the kernel.</para>
<para>The most common way to enable PAE is to build a new
kernel with the special ready-provided kernel configuration
file called <filename>PAE</filename>, which is already
configured to build a safe kernel. Note that some entries
in this kernel configuration file are too conservative and
some drivers marked as unready to be used with PAE are
actually usable. A rule of thumb is that if the driver is
usable on 64-bit architectures (like AMD64), it is also
usable with PAE. If you wish to create your own kernel
configuration file, you can enable PAE by adding the
following line to your configuration:</para>
<programlisting>options PAE</programlisting>
<para>PAE is not much used nowadays because most new x86
hardware also supports running in 64-bit mode, known as
AMD64 or &intel; 64. It has a much larger address
space and does not need such tweaks. &os; supports AMD64
and it is recommended that this version of &os; be used
instead of the &i386; version if 4 GB or more memory
is required.</para>

<para>&os; will take advantage of HyperThreading (HTT)
support on Intel CPUs that support this feature. A kernel
with the <literal>options SMP</literal> feature enabled
will automatically detect the additional logical
processors. The default &os; scheduler treats the logical
processors the same as additional physical processors; in
other words, no attempt is made to optimize scheduling
decisions given the shared resources between logical
processors within the same CPU. Because this naive
scheduling can result in suboptimal performance, under
certain circumstances it may be useful to disable the
logical processors with the
<varname>machdep.hlt_logical_cpus</varname> sysctl
variable. It is also possible to halt any CPU in the idle
loop with the <varname>machdep.hlt_cpus</varname> sysctl

<question id="pae">
<para>Why is &os; finding the wrong amount of memory on &i386;
hardware?</para>
</question>
<answer>
<para>The most likely reason is the difference between
physical memory addresses and virtual addresses.</para>
<para>The convention for most PC hardware is to use the memory
area between 3.5 GB and 4 GB for a special purpose
(usually for PCI). This address space is used to access PCI
hardware. As a result real, physical memory can not be
accessed by that address space.</para>
<para>What happens to the memory that should appear in that
location is dependent on your hardware. Unfortunately, some
hardware does nothing and the ability to use that last
500 MB of RAM is entirely lost.</para>
<para>Luckily, most hardware remaps the memory to a higher
location so that it can still be used. However, this can
cause some confusion if you watch the boot messages.</para>
<para>On a 32-bit version of &os;, the memory appears
lost, since it will be remapped above 4 GB, which a
32-bit kernel is unable to access. In this case, the
solution is to build a PAE enabled kernel. See <link
linkend="memory-limits">the entry on memory limits</link>
and <link linkend="memory-upper-limitation">about different
memory limits on different platforms</link> for more
information.</para>
<para>On a 64-bit version of &os;, or when running a
PAE-enabled kernel, &os; will correctly detect and remap the
memory so it is usable. During boot, however, it may seem
as if &os; is detecting more memory than the system really
has, due to the described remapping. This is normal and the
available memory will be corrected as the boot process
completes.<para>

<question id="awre">
<para>What do I do when I have bad blocks on my hard

</question>
<answer>
<para>With SCSI drives, the drive should be capable of
re-mapping these automatically. However, many drives ship
with this feature disabled.</para>
<para>To enable bad block remapping edit the first device page
mode, which can be done by giving the command (as
<username>root</username>)</para>
<screen>&prompt.root; <userinput>camcontrol modepage sd0 -m 1 -e -P 3</userinput></screen>
<para>and changing the values of AWRE and ARRE from 0 to
1:</para>
<programlisting>AWRE (Auto Write Reallocation Enbld): 1
ARRE (Auto Read Reallocation Enbld): 1</programlisting>
<para>Modern IDE drives also have bad block remapping features
in the controller, and they ship with this feature turned
on.</para>
<para>If you see warnings about bad blocks (on either type of
drive), it is time to consider replacing the drive. You
might be able to use the drive manufacturer's diagnostic
program to lock out those bad blocks, but at best this will
buy you some time.</para>

<question id="hpnetserver-scsi-failure">
<para>Why does &os; not detect my HP Netserver's SCSI

</question>
<answer>
<para>This is basically a known problem. The EISA on-board
SCSI controller in the HP Netserver machines occupies EISA
slot number 11, so all the <quote>true</quote> EISA slots
are in front of it. Alas, the address space for EISA slots
>= 10 collides with the address space assigned to PCI,
and &os;'s auto-configuration currently cannot handle this
situation very well.</para>
<para>So now, the best you can do is to pretend there is no
address range clash :), by bumping the kernel option
<literal>EISA_SLOTS</literal> to a value of 12. Configure
and compile a kernel, as described in the <ulink
url="&url.books.handbook;/kernelconfig.html">Handbook entry on configuring the kernel</ulink>.
</para>
<para>Of course, this does present you with a chicken-and-egg
problem when installing on such a machine. In order to work
around this problem, a special hack is available inside
<emphasis>UserConfig</emphasis>. Do not use the
<quote>visual</quote> interface, but the plain command-line
interface there. Simply type the following command at the
prompt and install your system as usual:</para>
<programlisting>eisa 12
quit</programlisting>
<para>While it is recommended you compile and install a custom
kernel anyway.</para>
<para>Hopefully, future versions will have a proper fix for
this problem.</para>

<question id="signal11">
<para>Why do my programs occasionally die with
<errorname>Signal 11</errorname> errors?</para>
</question>
<answer>
<para>Signal 11 errors are caused when your process has
attempted to access memory which the operating system has not
granted it access to. If something like this is happening
at seemingly random intervals then you need to start
investigating things very carefully.</para>
<para>These problems can usually be attributed to
either:</para>
<orderedlist>
<listitem>
<para>If the problem is occurring only in a specific
application that you are developing yourself it is
probably a bug in your code.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>If it is a problem with part of the base &os;
system, it may also be buggy code, but more often than not
these problems are found and fixed long before us
general FAQ readers get to use these bits of code (that
is what -current is for).</para>
</listitem>
</orderedlist>
<para>In particular, a dead giveaway that this is
<emphasis>not</emphasis> a &os; bug is if you see the
problem when you are compiling a program, but the activity
that the compiler is carrying out changes each time.</para>
<para>For example, suppose you are running
<command>make <maketarget>buildworld</maketarget></command>,
and the compile fails while trying to compile
<filename>ls.c</filename> into <filename>ls.o</filename>.
If you then run
<command>make <maketarget>buildworld</maketarget></command>
again, and the compile fails in the same place then this is
a broken build — try updating your sources and try
again. If the compile fails elsewhere then this is almost
certainly hardware.</para>
<para>What you should do:</para>
<para>In the first case you can use a debugger e.g.
&man.gdb.1; to find the point in the program which is
attempting to access a bogus address and then fix it.</para>
<para>In the second case you need to verify that it is not
your hardware at fault.</para>
<para>Common causes of this include:</para>
<orderedlist>
<listitem>
<para>Your hard disks might be overheating: Check the fans
in your case are still working, as your disk (and perhaps
other hardware might be overheating).</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>The processor running is overheating: This might be
because the processor has been overclocked, or the fan
on the processor might have died. In either case you
need to ensure that you have hardware running at what it
is specified to run at, at least while trying to solve
this problem. i.e. Clock it back to the default
settings.</para>
<para>If you are overclocking then note that it is far
cheaper to have a slow system than a fried system that
needs replacing! Also the wider community is not often
sympathetic to problems on overclocked systems, whether
you believe it is safe or not.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>Dodgy memory: If you have multiple memory
SIMMS/DIMMS installed then pull them all out and try
running the machine with each SIMM or DIMM individually
and narrow the problem down to either the problematic
DIMM/SIMM or perhaps even a combination.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>Over-optimistic Motherboard settings: In your BIOS
settings, and some motherboard jumpers you have options
to set various timings, mostly the defaults will be
sufficient, but sometimes, setting the wait states on
RAM too low, or setting the <quote>RAM Speed:
Turbo</quote> option, or similar in the BIOS will cause
strange behavior. A possible idea is to set to BIOS
defaults, but it might be worth noting down your
settings first!</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>Unclean or insufficient power to the motherboard.
If you have any unused I/O boards, hard disks, or CD-ROMs
in your system, try temporarily removing them or
disconnecting the power cable from them, to see if your
power supply can manage a smaller load. Or try another
power supply, preferably one with a little more power
(for instance, if your current power supply is rated at
250 Watts try one rated at 300 Watts).</para>
</listitem>
</orderedlist>
<para>You should also read the SIG11 FAQ (listed below) which
has excellent explanations of all these problems, albeit from
a &linux; viewpoint. It also discusses how memory testing
software or hardware can still pass faulty memory.</para>
<para>Finally, if none of this has helped it is possible that
you have just found a bug in &os;, and you should follow the
instructions to send a problem report.</para>

<question id="reallybigram">
<para>Why does &os; only use 64 MB of RAM when my system

<answer>
<para>The &os; kernel will only allow a certain number of
processes to exist at one time. The number is based on the
<varname>kern.maxusers</varname> &man.sysctl.8; variable.
<varname>kern.maxusers</varname> also affects various other
in-kernel limits, such as network buffers (see <link
linkend="panic-kmemmap-too-small">this</link> earlier
question). If your machine is heavily loaded, you probably
want to increase <varname>kern.maxusers</varname>. This
will increase these other system limits in addition to the
maximum number of processes.</para>
<para>To adjust your <varname>kern.maxusers</varname> value,
see the <ulink
url="&url.books.handbook;/configtuning-kernel-limits.html#KERN-MAXFILES">File/Process Limits</ulink>
section of the Handbook. (While that section refers to open
files, the same limits apply to processes.)</para>
<para>If your machine is lightly loaded, and you are simply
running a very large number of processes, you can adjust
this with the <varname>kern.maxproc</varname> tunable. If
this tunable needs adjustment it needs to be defined in
<filename>/boot/loader.conf</filename>. The tunable will
not get adjusted until the system is rebooted. For more
information about tuning tunables, you should see the
&man.loader.conf.5; and &man.sysctl.conf.5; manual pages.
If these processes are being run by a single user, you will
also need to adjust <varname>kern.maxprocperuid</varname> to
be one less than your new <varname>kern.maxproc</varname>
value. (It must be at least one less because one system
program, &man.init.8;, must always be running.)</para>

<para>Your motherboard lacks the external logic to support
automatic termination. Switch your SCSI BIOS to specify the
correct termination for your configuration rather than
automatic termination. The &man.ahc.4; driver cannot
determine if the external logic for cable detection (and
thus auto-termination) is available. The driver simply
assumes that this support must exist if the configuration
contained in the serial EEPROM is set to <quote>automatic
termination</quote>. Without the external cable detection
logic the driver will often configure termination
incorrectly, which can compromise the reliability of the

<para>The remote machine may be setting your terminal type to

<para>There are a number of possible work-arounds for this
problem:</para>

<listitem>
<para>After logging on to the remote machine, set your
<envar>TERM</envar> shell variable to

the remote machine knows about these terminal
types.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>Use a VT100 emulator like
<application>screen</application> at the &os; console.
<application>screen</application> offers you the
ability to run multiple concurrent sessions from one
terminal, and is a neat program in its own right.
Each <application>screen</application> window behaves
like a VT100 terminal, so the <envar>TERM</envar>
variable at the remote end should be set to
<literal>vt100</literal>.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>Install the <literal>cons25</literal> terminal
database entry on the remote machine. The way to do
this depends on the operating system on the remote
machine. The system administration manuals for the
remote system should be able to help you here.</para>

<question id="pnp-not-found">
<para>Why is my PnP card not found (or found as

</question>
<answer>
<para>The reasons for this behavior are explained by the
following email, posted to the &a.questions; by &a.peter;, in
answer to a question about an internal modem that was no
longer found after an upgrade to
&os; 4.<replaceable>X</replaceable> (the comments in
<literal>[]</literal> have been added to clarify the
context).</para>
<note>
<para>The contents of this quotation has been updated from
its original text.</para>
</note>
<blockquote>
<para>The PNP bios preconfigured it [the modem] and left it
laying around in port space, so [in
3.<replaceable>X</replaceable>] the old-style ISA probes
<quote>found</quote> it there.</para>
<para>Under 4.0, the ISA code is much more PnP-centric. It
was possible [in 3.<replaceable>X</replaceable>] for an ISA
probe to find a <quote>stray</quote> device and then for
the PNP device ID to match and then fail due to resource
conflicts. So, it disables the programmable cards first
so this double probing cannot happen. It also means that
it needs to know the PnP IDs for supported PnP hardware.
Making this more user tweakable is on the TODO
list.</para>
</blockquote>
<para>To get the device working again requires finding its PnP
ID and adding it to the list that the ISA probes use to
identify PnP devices. This is obtained using
&man.pnpinfo.8; to probe the device, for example this is the
output from &man.pnpinfo.8; for an internal modem:</para>

<para>You should first make a backup of

You will also need it to make the patch to submit with your
PR (you are going to submit a PR, are you not?) then edit
<filename>sio_isa.c</filename> and search for the
line:</para>
<programlisting>static struct isa_pnp_id sio_ids[] = {</programlisting>
<para>Then scroll down to find the correct place to add the
entry for your device. The entries look like this, and are
sorted on the ASCII Vendor ID string which should be
included in the comment to the right of the line of code
along with all (if it will fit) or part of the

<para>Why do I get the error <errorname>nlist
failed</errorname> when running, for example,
<command>top</command> or <command>systat</command>?</para>
</question>
<answer>
<para>The problem is that the application you are trying to
run is looking for a specific kernel symbol, but, for whatever
reason, cannot find it; this error stems from one of two
problems:</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>Your kernel and userland are not synchronized (i.e.,
you built a new kernel but did not do an
<maketarget>installworld</maketarget>, or vice versa),
and thus the symbol table is different from what the
user application thinks it is. If this is the case,
simply complete the upgrade process (see
<filename>/usr/src/UPDATING</filename> for the correct
sequence).</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>You are not using <command>/boot/loader</command> to
load your kernel, but doing it directly from
<filename>boot2</filename> (see &man.boot.8;). While
there is nothing wrong with bypassing
<command>/boot/loader</command>, it generally does a
better job of making the kernel symbols available to
user applications.</para>

<question id="connection-delay">
<para>Why does it take so long to connect to my computer via
<command>ssh</command> or <command>telnet</command>?</para>
</question>
<answer>
<para>The symptom: there is a long delay between the time the
TCP connection is established and the time when the client
software asks for a password (or, in &man.telnet.1;'s case,
when a login prompt appears).</para>
<para>The problem: more likely than not, the delay is caused
by the server software trying to resolve the client's IP
address into a hostname. Many servers, including the
<application>Telnet</application> and
<application>SSH</application> servers that come with &os;,
do this in order to, among other things, store the hostname
in a log file for future reference by the
administrator.</para>
<para>The remedy: if the problem occurs whenever you connect
from your computer (the client) to any server, the problem is
with the client; likewise, if the problem only occurs when
someone connects to your computer (the server) the problem
is with the server.</para>
<para>If the problem is with the client, the only remedy is to
fix the DNS so the server can resolve it. If this is on a
local network, consider it a server problem and keep
reading; conversely, if this is on the global Internet, you
will most likely need to contact your ISP and ask them to
fix it for you.</para>
<para>If the problem is with the server, and this is on a
local network, you need to configure the server to be able to
resolve address-to-hostname queries for your local address
range. See the &man.hosts.5; and &man.named.8; manual pages
for more information. If this is on the global Internet,
the problem may be that your server's resolver is not
functioning correctly. To check, try to look up another
host — say, <hostid>www.yahoo.com</hostid>. If it
does not work, that is your problem.</para>
<para>Following a fresh install of &os;, it is also possible
that domain and name server information is missing from
<filename>/etc/resolv.conf</filename>. This will often
cause a delay in <application>SSH</application>, as the
option <literal>UseDNS</literal> is set to
<literal>yes</literal> by default in the
<filename>sshd_config</filename> file in
<filename class="directory">/etc/ssh</filename>. If this is causing the
problem, you will either need to fill in the missing
information in <filename>/etc/resolv.conf</filename> or set
<literal>UseDNS</literal> to <literal>no</literal> in
<filename>sshd_config</filename> as a temporary
workaround.</para>

<answer>
<para>The &man.ata.4; driver reports <errorname>UDMA

times. Should the retries fail, it will switch from DMA to

<para>The problem can be caused by many factors, although
perhaps the most common cause is faulty or incorrect
cabling. Check that the ATA cables are undamaged and rated
for the Ultra DMA mode in use. If you are using
removable drive trays, they must also be compatible. Be
sure that all connections are making good contact. Problems
have also been noticed when an old drive is installed on the
same ATA channel as an Ultra DMA 66 (or faster)
drive. Lastly, these errors can indicate that the drive is
failing. Most drive vendors provide testing software for
their drives, so test your drive, and, if necessary, back up
your data and replace it.</para>
<para>The &man.atacontrol.8; utility can be used to show and

<question id="called-with-non-sleepable-locks-held">
<para>What does <errorname>Called ... with the following
non-sleepable locks held</errorname> mean?</para>
</question>
<answer>
<para>This means that a function that may sleep was called
while a mutex (or other unsleepable) lock was held.</para>
<para>The reason this is an error is because mutexes are not
intended to be held for long periods of time; they are
supposed to only be held to maintain short periods of
synchronization. This programming contract allows device
drivers to use mutexes to synchronize with the rest of the
kernel during interrupts. Interrupts (under &os;) may not
sleep. Hence it is imperative that no subsystem in the
kernel block for an extended period while holding a
mutex.</para>
<para>To catch such errors, assertions may be added to the
kernel that interact with the &man.witness.4; subsystem to
emit a warning or fatal error (depending on the system
configuration) when a potentially blocking call is made
while holding a mutex.</para>
<para>In summary, such warnings are non-fatal, however with
unfortunate timing they could cause undesirable effects
ranging from a minor blip in the system's responsiveness to
a complete system lockup.</para>

<para>We also support the concept of a <quote>package</quote>,

the &man.pkg.add.1; command on the specific package files
you are interested in installing. Package files can usually
be identified by their <filename>.tbz</filename> suffix and
CD-ROM distribution people will have a
<filename class="directory">packages/All</filename> directory on their CD

<question id="make-index">
<para>I just tried to build <filename>INDEX</filename> using
<command>make <maketarget>index</maketarget></command>, and
it failed. Why?</para>
</question>
<answer>
<para>First, always make sure that you have a completely
up-to-date Ports Collection. Errors that affect building
<filename>INDEX</filename> from an up-to-date copy of the
Ports Collection are high-visibility and are thus almost
always fixed immediately.</para>
<para>However, if you are up-to-date, perhaps you are seeing
another problem. <command>make <maketarget>index</maketarget></command>
has a known bug in dealing with incomplete copies of the
Ports Collection. It assumes that you have a local copy of
every single port that every other port that you have a
local copy of depends on. To explain, if you have a copy of
<filename>foo/bar</filename> on your disk, and
<filename>foo/bar</filename> depends on
<filename>baz/quux</filename>, then you must also have a
copy of <filename>baz/quux</filename> on your disk, and the
ports <filename>baz/quux</filename> depends on, and so on.
Otherwise, <command>make <maketarget>index</maketarget></command>
has insufficient information to create its dependency
tree.</para>
<para>This is particularly a problem for &os; users who
utilize &man.cvsup.1; (or &man.csup.1;) to track the Ports
Collection but choose not to install certain categories by
specifying them in <filename>refuse</filename>. In theory,
one should be able to refuse categories, but in practice
there are too many ports that depend on ports in other
categories. Until someone comes up with a solution for this
problem, the general rule is is that if you want to build
<filename>INDEX</filename>, you must have a complete copy of
the Ports Collection.</para>
<para>There are rare cases where <filename>INDEX</filename>
will not build due to odd cases involving
<makevar>WITH_<replaceable>*</replaceable></makevar> or
<makevar>WITHOUT_<replaceable>*</replaceable></makevar>
variables being set in <filename>make.conf</filename>. If
you suspect that this is the case, please try to make
<filename>INDEX</filename> with those make variables turned
off before reporting it to &a.ports;.</para>

<question id="cvsup-in-base">
<para>Why is <application>CVSup</application> not integrated
in the main &os; tree?</para>
</question>
<answer>
<para>The &os; base system is designed as self-hosting —
it should be possible to build the whole operating system
starting with a very limited set of tools. Thus, the actual
build tools needed to compile the &os; sources are bundled
with the sources themselves. This includes a C compiler
(&man.gcc.1;), &man.make.1;, &man.awk.1;, and similar
tools.</para>
<para>Since <application>CVSup</application> is written in
Modula-3, adding it to the &os; base system would also require
adding and maintaining a Modula-3 compiler. This would lead
to both an increase in the disk space consumed by the &os;
sources and additional maintenance work. Thus, it is much
easier for both the developers and users to keep
<application>CVSup</application> as a separate port, which
can be easily installed as a package bundled on the &os;
installation CDs.</para>
<para>However, &os; users are not without an integrated
<application>CVSup</application> compatible client anymore
since &os; 6.2-RELEASE. Thanks to &a.mux;,
<application>CVSup</application> was rewritten in C as
&man.csup.1; and it is the part of the base system by now.
Although it does not implement all the features of
<application>CVSup</application> at the moment, it is good
enough (and really fast!) to keep your sources synchronized.
For systems earlier than 6.2, it can be installed as a port
or package (see <filename
role="package">net/csup</filename>).</para>

<question id="minimal-sh">
<para>Why is <command>/bin/sh</command> so minimal? Why does
&os; not use <command>bash</command> or another
shell?</para>
</question>
<answer>
<para>Because &posix; says that there shall be such a
shell.</para>
<para>The more complicated answer: many people need to write
shell scripts which will be portable across many systems.
That is why &posix; specifies the shell and utility commands
in great detail. Most scripts are written in Bourne shell,
and because several important programming interfaces
(&man.make.1;, &man.system.3;, &man.popen.3;, and analogues
in higher-level scripting languages like Perl and Tcl) are
specified to use the Bourne shell to interpret commands.
Because the Bourne shell is so often and widely used, it is
important for it to be quick to start, be deterministic in
its behavior, and have a small memory footprint.</para>
<para>The existing implementation is our best effort at
meeting as many of these requirements simultaneously as we
can. In order to keep <command>/bin/sh</command> small, we
have not provided many of the convenience features that
other shells have. That is why the Ports Collection
includes more featureful shells like
<command>bash</command>, <command>scsh</command>,
<command>tcsh</command>, and <command>zsh</command>. (You
can compare for yourself the memory utilization of all these
shells by looking at the <quote>VSZ</quote> and

<question id="why-kernel-big">
<para>Why is my kernel so big (over 10 MB)?</para>
</question>
<answer>
<para>Chances are, you compiled your kernel in <emphasis>debug
mode</emphasis>. Kernels built in debug mode contain many
symbols that are used for debugging, thus greatly increasing
the size of the kernel. Note that there will be little or
no performance decrease from running a debug kernel, and it
is useful to keep one around in case of a system
panic.</para>
<para>However, if you are running low on disk space, or you
simply do not want to run a debug kernel, make sure that
both of the following are true:</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>You do not have a line in your kernel configuration
file that reads:</para>
<programlisting>makeoptions DEBUG=-g</programlisting>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>You are not running &man.config.8; with the
<option>-g</option> option.</para>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<para>Either of the above settings will cause your kernel to
be built in debug mode. As long as you make sure you follow
the steps above, you can build your kernel normally, and you
should notice a fairly large size decrease; most kernels
tend to be around 1.5 MB to 2 MB.</para>

<question id="new-huge-disk">
<para>How do I move my system over to my huge new disk?</para>
</question>
<answer>
<para>The best way is to reinstall the OS on the new disk,
then move the user data over. This is highly recommended if
you have been tracking <emphasis>-STABLE</emphasis> for more
than one release, or have updated a release instead of
installing a new one. You can install booteasy on both
disks with &man.boot0cfg.8;, and dual boot them until you
are happy with the new configuration. Skip the next
paragraph to find out how to move the data after doing
this.</para>
<para>Should you decide not to do a fresh install, you need to
partition and label the new disk with either
&man.sysinstall.8;, or &man.fdisk.8; and &man.disklabel.8;.
You should also install booteasy on both disks with
&man.boot0cfg.8;, so that you can dual boot to the old or
new system after the copying is done. See the <ulink
url="&url.articles.formatting-media;/index.html">formatting-media article</ulink>
for details on this process.</para>
<para>Now you have the new disk set up, and are ready to move
the data. Unfortunately, you cannot just blindly copy the
data. Things like device files (in
<filename class="directory">/dev</filename>), flags, and links tend to screw
that up. You need to use tools that understand these
things, which means &man.dump.8;. Although it is suggested
that you move the data in single user mode, it is not
required.</para>
<para>You should never use anything but &man.dump.8; and
&man.restore.8; to move the root file system. The
&man.tar.1; command may work — then again, it may not.
You should also use &man.dump.8; and &man.restore.8; if you
are moving a single partition to another empty partition.
The sequence of steps to use <command>dump</command> to move
a partitions data to a new partition is:</para>
<procedure>
<step>
<para><command>newfs</command> the new partition.</para>
</step>
<step>
<para><command>mount</command> it on a temporary mount
point.</para>
</step>
<step>
<para><command>cd</command> to that directory.</para>
</step>
<step>
<para><command>dump</command> the old partition, piping
output to the new one.</para>
</step>
</procedure>
<para>For example, if you are going to move root to
<devicename>/dev/<replaceable>ad1s1a</replaceable></devicename>,
with <filename class="directory"><replaceable>/mnt</replaceable></filename> as
the temporary mount point, it is:</para>
<screen>&prompt.root; <userinput>newfs /dev/<replaceable>ad1s1a</replaceable></userinput>
&prompt.root; <userinput>mount /dev/<replaceable>ad1s1a</replaceable> <replaceable>/mnt</replaceable></userinput>
&prompt.root; <userinput>cd <replaceable>/mnt</replaceable></userinput>
&prompt.root; <userinput>dump 0af - / | restore xf -</userinput></screen>
<para>Rearranging your partitions with <command>dump</command>
takes a bit more work. To merge a partition like
<filename class="directory">/var</filename> into its parent, create the new
partition large enough for both, move the parent partition
as described above, then move the child partition into the

<question id="dangerously-dedicated">
<para>Will a <quote>dangerously dedicated</quote> disk
endanger my health?</para>
</question>
<answer>
<para><anchor id="dedicate">The installation procedure allows
you to chose two different methods in partitioning your hard
disk(s). The default way makes it compatible with other
operating systems on the same machine, by using
&man.fdisk.8; table entries (called <quote>slices</quote> in
&os;), with a &os; slice that employs partitions of its own.
Optionally, one can chose to install a boot-selector to
switch between the possible operating systems on the
disk(s). The alternative uses the entire disk for &os;, and
makes no attempt to be compatible with other operating
systems.</para>
<para>So why it is called <quote>dangerous</quote>? A disk in
this mode does not contain what normal PC utilities would
consider a valid &man.fdisk.8; table. Depending on how well
they have been designed, they might complain at you once
they are getting in contact with such a disk, or even worse,
they might damage the BSD bootstrap without even asking or
notifying you. In addition, the <quote>dangerously
dedicated</quote> disk's layout is known to confuse many
BIOSes, including those from AWARD (e.g. as found in HP
Netserver and Micronics systems as well as many others) and
Symbios/NCR (for the popular 53C8xx range of SCSI
controllers). This is not a complete list, there are more.
Symptoms of this confusion include the <errorname>read
error</errorname> message printed by the &os; bootstrap when
it cannot find itself, as well as system lockups when
booting.</para>
<para>Why have this mode at all then? It only saves a few
kbytes of disk space, and it can cause real problems for a new
installation. <quote>Dangerously dedicated</quote> mode's
origins lie in a desire to avoid one of the most common
problems plaguing new &os; installers — matching the
BIOS <quote>geometry</quote> numbers for a disk to the disk
itself.</para>
<para><quote>Geometry</quote> is an outdated concept, but one
still at the heart of the PC's BIOS and its interaction with
disks. When the &os; installer creates slices, it has to
record the location of these slices on the disk in a fashion
that corresponds with the way the BIOS expects to find them.
If it gets it wrong, you will not be able to boot.</para>
<para><quote>Dangerously dedicated</quote> mode tries to work
around this by making the problem simpler. In some cases,
it gets it right. But it is meant to be used as a
last-ditch alternative — there are better ways to
solve the problem 99 times out of 100.</para>
<para>So, how do you avoid the need for <quote>DD</quote> mode
when you are installing? Start by making a note of the
geometry that your BIOS claims to be using for your disks.
You can arrange to have the kernel print this as it boots by
specifying <option>-v</option> at the
<literal>boot:</literal> prompt, or using
<command>boot -v</command> in the loader. Just before the
installer starts, the kernel will print a list of BIOS
geometries. Do not panic — wait for the installer to
start and then use scrollback to read the numbers.
Typically the BIOS disk units will be in the same order that
&os; lists your disks, first IDE, then SCSI.</para>
<para>When you are slicing up your disk, check that the disk
geometry displayed in the FDISK screen is correct (ie. it
matches the BIOS numbers); if it is wrong, use the
<keycap>G</keycap> key to fix it. You may have to do this
if there is absolutely nothing on the disk, or if the disk
has been moved from another system. Note that this is only
an issue with the disk that you are going to boot from; &os;
will sort itself out just fine with any other disks you may
have.</para>
<para>Once you have got the BIOS and &os; agreeing about the
geometry of the disk, your problems are almost guaranteed to
be over, and with no need for <quote>DD</quote> mode at all.
If, however, you are still greeted with the dreaded
<errorname>read error</errorname> message when you try to
boot, it is time to cross your fingers and go for it — there
is nothing left to lose.</para>
<para>To return a <quote>dangerously dedicated</quote> disk
for normal PC use, there are basically two options. The
first is, you write enough NULL bytes over the MBR to make
any subsequent installation believe this to be a blank disk.
You can do this for example with the following
command:</para>
<screen>&prompt.root; <userinput>dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/<replaceable>rda0</replaceable> count=15</userinput></screen>
<para>Alternatively, the undocumented DOS
<quote>feature</quote></para>
<screen><prompt>C:\></prompt> <userinput>fdisk /mbr</userinput></screen>
<para>will to install a new master boot record as well, thus
clobbering the BSD bootstrap.</para>

<question id="safe-softupdates">
<para>Which partitions can safely use Soft Updates? I have
heard that Soft Updates on <filename class="directory">/</filename> can cause
problems.</para>
</question>
<answer>
<para>Short answer: you can usually use Soft Updates safely on
all partitions.</para>
<para>Long answer: There used to be some concern over using
Soft Updates on the root partition. Soft Updates has two
characteristics that caused this. First, a Soft Updates
partition has a small chance of losing data during a system
crash. (The partition will not be corrupted; the data will
simply be lost.) Also, Soft Updates can cause temporary
space shortages.</para>
<para>When using Soft Updates, the kernel can take up to
thirty seconds to actually write changes to the physical
disk. If you delete a large file, the file still resides on
disk until the kernel actually performs the deletion. This
can cause a very simple race condition. Suppose you delete
one large file and immediately create another large file.
The first large file is not yet actually removed from the
physical disk, so the disk might not have enough room for
the second large file. You get an error that the partition
does not have enough space, although you know perfectly well
that you just released a large chunk of space! When you try
again mere seconds later, the file creation works as you
expect. This has left more than one user scratching his
head and doubting his sanity, the &os; file system, or
both.</para>
<para>If a system should crash after the kernel accepts a
chunk of data for writing to disk, but before that data is
actually written out, data could be lost or corrupted. This
risk is extremely small, but generally manageable. Use of
IDE write caching greatly increases this risk; it is
strongly recommended that you disable IDE write caching when
using Soft Updates.</para>
<para>These issues affect all partitions using Soft Updates.
So, what does this mean for the root partition?</para>
<para>Vital information on the root partition changes very
rarely. Files such as
<filename>/boot/kernel/kernel</filename> and the contents of
<filename class="directory">/etc</filename> only change during system
maintenance, or when users change their passwords. If the
system crashed during the thirty-second window after such a
change is made, it is possible that data could be lost.
This risk is negligible for most applications, but you
should be aware that it exists. If your system cannot
tolerate this much risk, do not use Soft Updates on the root
file system!</para>
<para><filename class="directory">/</filename> is traditionally one of the
smallest partitions. If you put the
<filename class="directory">/tmp</filename> directory on
<filename class="directory">/</filename> and you have a busy
<filename class="directory">/tmp</filename>, you might see intermittent space
problems. Symlinking <filename class="directory">/tmp</filename> to
<filename class="directory">/var/tmp</filename> will solve this
problem.</para>

<question id="nt-bootloader">
<para>How can I use the &windowsnt; loader to boot
&os;?</para>
</question>
<answer>
<para>The general idea is that you copy the first sector of
your native root &os; partition into a file in the
DOS/&windowsnt; partition. Assuming you name that file
something like <filename>c:\bootsect.bsd</filename>
(inspired by <filename>c:\bootsect.dos</filename>), you can
then edit the <filename>c:\boot.ini</filename> file to come
up with something like this:</para>
<programlisting>[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Windows NT"
C:\BOOTSECT.BSD="&os;"
C:\="DOS"</programlisting>
<para>If &os; is installed on the same disk as the &windowsnt;
boot partition simply copy <filename>/boot/boot1</filename> to
<filename>C:\BOOTSECT.BSD</filename>. However, if &os; is
installed on a different disk
<filename>/boot/boot1</filename> will not work,
<filename>/boot/boot0</filename> is needed.</para>
<para><filename>/boot/boot0</filename> needs to be installed
using &man.sysinstall.8; by selecting the &os; boot manager
on the screen which asks if you wish to use a boot manager.
This is because <filename>/boot/boot0</filename> has the
partition table area filled with NULL characters but
&man.sysinstall.8; copies the partition table before copying
<filename>/boot/boot0</filename> to the MBR.</para>
<warning>
<para><emphasis>Do not simply copy
<filename>/boot/boot0</filename> instead of
<filename>/boot/boot1</filename>; you will overwrite
your partition table and render your computer
un-bootable!</emphasis></para>
</warning>
<para>When the &os; boot manager runs it records the last OS
booted by setting the active flag on the partition table
entry for that OS and then writes the whole 512-bytes of
itself back to the MBR so if you just copy
<filename>/boot/boot0</filename> to
<filename>C:\BOOTSECT.BSD</filename> then it writes an empty
partition table, with the active flag set on one entry, to
the MBR.</para>

<para>The rest of the examples will be for a ZIP drive on

<para>Unless it is a floppy, or a removable you plan on
sharing with other people, it is probably a better idea to
stick a BSD file system on it. You will get long filename
support, at least a 2X improvement in performance, and a lot
more stability. First, you need to redo the DOS-level
partitions/file systems. You can either use &man.fdisk.8;
or &man.sysinstall.8;, or for a small drive that you do not
want to bother with multiple operating system support on,
just blow away the whole FAT partition table (slices) and
just use the BSD partitioning:</para>
<screen>&prompt.root; <userinput>dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/rda2 count=2</userinput>
&prompt.root; <userinput>disklabel -Brw da2 auto</userinput></screen>
<para>You can use &man.disklabel.8; or &man.sysinstall.8; to
create multiple BSD partitions. You will certainly want to
do this if you are adding swap space on a fixed disk, but it
is probably irrelevant on a removable drive like a
ZIP.</para>
<para>Finally, create a new file system, this one is on our

<para>and mount it:</para>
<screen>&prompt.root; <userinput>mount /dev/da2c /zip</userinput></screen>
<para>and it is probably a good idea to add a line like this

<question id="user-floppymount">
<para>How do I let ordinary users mount floppies, CD-ROMs and
other removable media?</para>
</question>
<answer>
<para>Ordinary users can be permitted to mount devices. Here
is how:</para>
<procedure>
<step>
<para>As <username>root</username> set the sysctl variable
<varname>vfs.usermount</varname> to
<literal>1</literal>.</para>
<screen>&prompt.root; <userinput>sysctl -w vfs.usermount=1</userinput></screen>
</step>
<step>
<para>As <username>root</username> assign the appropriate
permissions to the block device associated with the
removable media.</para>
<para>For example, to allow users to mount the first
floppy drive, use:</para>
<screen>&prompt.root; <userinput>chmod 666 /dev/fd0</userinput></screen>
<para>To allow users in the group
<groupname>operator</groupname> to mount the CD-ROM
drive, use:</para>
<screen>&prompt.root; <userinput>chgrp operator /dev/acd0c</userinput>
&prompt.root; <userinput>chmod 640 /dev/acd0c</userinput></screen>
</step>
<step>
<para>You will need to alter
<filename>/etc/devfs.conf</filename> to make these
changes permanent across reboots.</para>
<para>As <username>root</username>, add the necessary
lines to <filename>/etc/devfs.conf</filename>. For
example, to allow users to mount the first floppy drive
add:</para>
<programlisting># Allow all users to mount the floppy disk.
own /dev/fd0 root:operator
perm /dev/fd0 0666</programlisting>
<para>To allow users in the group
<groupname>operator</groupname> to mount the CD-ROM drive
add:</para>
<programlisting># Allow members of the group operator to mount CD-ROMs.
own /dev/acd0 root:operator
perm /dev/acd0 0660</programlisting>
</step>
<step>
<para>Finally, add the line
<literal><varname>vfs.usermount</varname>=1</literal> to
the file <filename>/etc/sysctl.conf</filename> so that
it is reset at system boot time.</para>
</step>
</procedure>
<para>All users can now mount the floppy
<devicename>/dev/fd0</devicename> onto a directory that they
own:</para>
<screen>&prompt.user; <userinput>mkdir <replaceable>~/my-mount-point</replaceable></userinput>
&prompt.user; <userinput>mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 <replaceable>~/my-mount-point</replaceable></userinput></screen>
<para>Users in group <groupname>operator</groupname> can now
mount the CD-ROM <devicename>/dev/acd0c</devicename> onto a
directory that they own:</para>
<screen>&prompt.user; <userinput>mkdir <replaceable>~/my-mount-point</replaceable></userinput>
&prompt.user; <userinput>mount -t cd9660 /dev/acd0c <replaceable>~/my-mount-point</replaceable></userinput></screen>
<para>Unmounting the device is simple:</para>
<screen>&prompt.user; <userinput>umount <replaceable>~/my-mount-point</replaceable></userinput></screen>
<para>Enabling <varname>vfs.usermount</varname>, however, has
negative security implications. A better way to access
&ms-dos; formatted media is to use the <filename
role="package">emulators/mtools</filename> package in the
Ports Collection.</para>
<note>
<para>The device name used in the previous examples must be
changed according to your configuration.</para>

<question id="du-vs-df">
<para>The <command>du</command> and <command>df</command>
commands show different amounts of disk space available.
What is going on?</para>
</question>
<answer>
<para>You need to understand what <command>du</command> and
<command>df</command> really do. <command>du</command> goes
through the directory tree, measures how large each file is,
and presents the totals. <command>df</command> just asks
the file system how much space it has left. They seem to be
the same thing, but a file without a directory entry will
affect <command>df</command> but not
<command>du</command>.</para>
<para>When a program is using a file, and you delete the file,
the file is not really removed from the file system until
the program stops using it. The file is immediately deleted
from the directory listing, however. You can see this
easily enough with a program such as
<command>more</command>. Assume you have a file large
enough that its presence affects the output of
<command>du</command> and <command>df</command>. (Since
disks can be so large today, this might be a
<emphasis>very</emphasis> large file!) If you delete this
file while using <command>more</command> on it,
<command>more</command> does not immediately choke and
complain that it cannot view the file. The entry is simply
removed from the directory so no other program or user can
access it. <command>du</command> shows that it is gone
— it has walked the directory tree and the file is not
listed. <command>df</command> shows that it is still there,
as the file system knows that <command>more</command> is
still using that space. Once you end the
<command>more</command> session, <command>du</command> and
<command>df</command> will agree.</para>
<para>Note that Soft Updates can delay the freeing of disk
space; you might need to wait up to 30 seconds for the
change to be visible!</para>
<para>This situation is common on web servers. Many people
set up a &os; web server and forget to rotate the log files.
The access log fills up <filename class="directory">/var</filename>. The new
administrator deletes the file, but the system still
complains that the partition is full. Stopping and
restarting the web server program would free the file,
allowing the system to release the disk space. To prevent
this from happening, set up &man.newsyslog.8;.</para>

<question id="manufacturer-disk-size">
<para>Why does &os; see my disk as smaller than the

</question>
<answer>
<para>Disk manufacturers calculate gigabytes as a billion
bytes each, whereas &os; calculates them as
1,073,741,824 bytes each. This explains why, for
example, &os;'s boot messages will report a disk that
supposedly has 80 GB as holding 76,319 MB.</para>

<question id="disk-more-than-full">
<para>How is it possible for a partition to be more than 100%
full?</para>
</question>
<answer>
<para>A portion of each UFS partition (8%, by default) is
reserved for use by the operating system and the
<username>root</username> user. &man.df.1; does not count
that space when calculating the <literal>Capacity</literal>
column, so it can exceed 100%. Also, you will notice that
the <literal>Blocks</literal> column is always greater than
the sum of the <literal>Used</literal> and

8%.</para>

<question id="startup-config-files">
<para>Where are the system start-up configuration
files?</para>
</question>
<answer>
<para>The primary configuration file is
<filename>/etc/defaults/rc.conf</filename> (see
&man.rc.conf.5;). System startup scripts such as
<filename class="directory">/etc/rc</filename> and
<filename class="directory">/etc/rc.d</filename> (see &man.rc.8;) just include
this file. <emphasis>Do not edit this file!</emphasis>
Instead, if there is any entry in
<filename>/etc/defaults/rc.conf</filename> that you want to
change, you should copy the line into
<filename>/etc/rc.conf</filename> and change it
there.</para>
<para>For example, if you wish to start &man.named.8;, the
included DNS server, all you need to do is:</para>
<screen>&prompt.root; <userinput>echo named_enable="YES" >> /etc/rc.conf</userinput></screen>
<para>To start up local services, place shell scripts in the

<question id="root-not-found-cron-errors">
<para>Why do I keep getting messages like <errorname>root: not
found</errorname> after editing my
<filename>crontab</filename> file?</para>
</question>
<answer>
<para>This is normally caused by editing the system crontab
(<filename>/etc/crontab</filename>) and then using
&man.crontab.1; to install it:</para>
<screen>&prompt.root; <userinput>crontab /etc/crontab</userinput></screen>
<para>This is not the correct way to do things. The system
crontab has a different format to the per-user crontabs
which &man.crontab.1; updates (the &man.crontab.5; manual
page explains the differences in more detail).</para>
<para>If this is what you did, the extra crontab is simply a
copy of <filename>/etc/crontab</filename> in the wrong
format it. Delete it with the command:</para>
<screen>&prompt.root; <userinput>crontab -r</userinput></screen>
<para>Next time, when you edit
<filename>/etc/crontab</filename>, you should not do
anything to inform &man.cron.8; of the changes, since it
will notice them automatically.</para>
<para>If you want something to be run once per day, week, or
month, it is probably better to add shell scripts
<filename class="directory">/usr/local/etc/periodic</filename>, and let the
&man.periodic.8; command run from the system
<command>cron</command> schedule it with the other periodic
system tasks.</para>
<para>The actual reason for the error is that the system
crontab has an extra field, specifying which user to run the
command as. In the default system crontab provided with
&os;, this is <username>root</username> for all entries.
When this crontab is used as the <username>root</username>
user's crontab (which is <emphasis>not</emphasis> the same
as the system crontab), &man.cron.8; assumes the string
<literal>root</literal> is the first word of the command to
execute, but no such command exists.</para>

<para>Why do I get the error, <errorname>you are not in the

</question>
<answer>
<para>This is a security feature. In order to
<command>su</command> to <username>root</username> (or any
other account with superuser privileges), you must be in the
<groupname>wheel</groupname> group. If this feature were
not there, anybody with an account on a system who also
found out <username>root</username>'s password would be able
to gain superuser level access to the system. With this
feature, this is not strictly true; &man.su.1; will prevent
them from even trying to enter the password if they are not
in <groupname>wheel</groupname>.</para>

<para>I made a mistake in <filename>rc.conf</filename>, or

</question>
<answer>
<para>Restart the system using <userinput>boot -s</userinput>
at the loader prompt to enter Single User mode. When
prompted for a shell pathname, simply press
<keycap>Enter</keycap>, and run
<command>mount -urw /</command> to re-mount the root file
system in read/write mode. You may also need to run
<command>mount -a -t ufs</command> to mount the file system
where your favorite editor is defined. If your favorite
editor is on a network file system, you will need to either
configure the network manually before you can mount network
file systems, or use an editor which resides on a local file
system, such as &man.ed.1;.</para>
<para>If you intend to use a full screen editor such as
&man.vi.1; or &man.emacs.1;, you may also need to run
<command>export TERM=cons25</command> so that these editors
can load the correct data from the &man.termcap.5;
database.</para>
<para>Once you have performed these steps, you can edit
<filename>/etc/rc.conf</filename> as you usually would to
fix the syntax error. The error message displayed

the number of the line in the file which is at fault.</para>

<para>Short answer: it is just a name.

linkend="current">-CURRENT</link>. Minor releases, such as
6.3-RELEASE or 5.2-RELEASE, have been snapshots of the
active <link linkend="stable">-STABLE</link> branch.
Starting with 4.3-RELEASE, each release also now has its own
branch which can be tracked by people requiring an extremely
conservative rate of development (typically only security
advisories).</para>
<para>When a release is about to be made, the branch from
which it will be derived from has to undergo a certain
process. Part of this process is a code freeze. When a
code freeze is initiated, the name of the branch is changed
to reflect that it is about to become a release. For
example, if the branch used to be called 6.2-STABLE, its
name will be changed to 6.3-PRERELEASE to signify the code
freeze and signify that extra pre-release testing should be
happening. Bug fixes can still be committed to be part of
the release. When the source code is in shape for the
release the name will be changed to 6.3-RC to signify that a
release is about to be made from it. Once in the RC stage,
only the most critical bugs found can be fixed. Once the
release (6.3-RELEASE in this example) and release branch
have been made, the branch will be renamed to
6.3-STABLE.</para>

<answer>
<para>No, there is no memory leak, and it is not using
256 MB of memory. For convenience,
<command>rpc.statd</command> maps an obscene amount of
memory into its address space. There is nothing terribly
wrong with this from a technical standpoint; it just throws
off things like &man.top.1; and &man.ps.1;.</para>
<para>&man.rpc.statd.8; maps its status file (resident on
<filename class="directory">/var</filename>) into its address space; to save
worrying about remapping it later when it needs to grow, it
maps it with a generous size. This is very evident from the
source code, where one can see that the length argument to
&man.mmap.2; is <literal>0x10000000</literal>, or one

<para>Pages are most often written to disk (sort of a VM sync)

also be synced. This depends upon the CPU tracking of the

there can be an advantage for a block of VM pages to be
synced, whether they are active or inactive. In most common
cases, it is best to think of the inactive queue to be a
queue of relatively unused pages that might or might not be
in the process of being written to disk. Cached pages are
already synced, not mapped, but available for immediate
process use with their old association or with a new
association. Free pages are available at interrupt level,
but cached or free pages can be used at process state for
reuse. Cache pages are not adequately locked to be

<para>There are a couple of kinds of <quote>free

immediately available without paging anything else out.
That is approximately the size of cache queue + size of free
queue (with a derating factor, depending upon system

total amount of <acronym>VM</acronym> space. That can be
complex, but is dependent upon the amount of swap space and

<question id="which-X">
<para>Which X implementations are available for &os;?</para>
</question>
<answer>
<para>Historically, the default implementation of X on &os;
has been &xfree86; which is maintained by <ulink
url="http://www.xfree86.org">The XFree86 Project, Inc.</ulink>
This software was installed by default on &os; versions up
until 4.10 and 5.2. Although &xorg; itself maintained an
implementation during that time period, it was basically
only provided as a reference platform, as it had suffered
greatly from bitrot over the years.</para>
<para>However, early in 2004, some XFree86 developers left
that project over issues including the pace of code changes,
future directions, and interpersonal conflicts, and are now
contributing code directly to &xorg; instead. At that time,
&xorg; updated its source tree to the last &xfree86; release
before its subsequent licensing change (<application>XFree86
version 4.3.99.903</application>), incorporated many changes
that had previously been maintained separately, and has
released that software as
<application>X11R6.7.0</application>. A separate but
related project, <ulink
url="http://www.freedesktop.org">freedesktop.org</ulink>
(or <literal>fd.o</literal> for short), is working on
rearchitecting the original &xfree86; code to offload more
work onto the graphics cards (with the goal of increased
performance) and make it more modular (with the goal of
increased maintainability, and thus faster releases as well
as easier configuration). &xorg; intends to incorporate the
<literal>freedesktop.org</literal> changes in its future
releases.</para>
<para>As of July 2004, in &os.current;,
&xfree86; has been replaced with &xorg; as the default
implementation. Since then the default X11 implementation
in &os; is &xorg;.</para>

<answer>
<para>Virtual consoles, put simply, enable you to have several
simultaneous sessions on the same machine without doing
anything complicated like setting up a network or running
X.</para>
<para>When the system starts, it will display a login prompt
on the monitor after displaying all the boot messages. You
can then type in your login name and password and start
working (or playing!) on the first virtual console.</para>
<para>At some point, you will probably wish to start another
session, perhaps to look at documentation for a program you
are running or to read your mail while waiting for an FTP
transfer to finish. Just do <keycombo
action="simul"><keycap>Alt</keycap><keycap>F2</keycap></keycombo>
(hold down the <keycap>Alt</keycap> key and press the
<keycap>F2</keycap> key), and you will find a login prompt
waiting for you on the second <quote>virtual
console</quote>! When you want to go back to the original
session, do <keycombo
action="simul"><keycap>Alt</keycap><keycap>F1</keycap></keycombo>.
</para>
<para>The default &os; installation has eight virtual consoles
enabled. <keycombo
action="simul"><keycap>Alt</keycap><keycap>F1</keycap></keycombo>,
<keycombo
action="simul"><keycap>Alt</keycap><keycap>F2</keycap></keycombo>,
<keycombo
action="simul"><keycap>Alt</keycap><keycap>F3</keycap></keycombo>,
and so on will switch between these virtual consoles.</para>
<para>To enable more of them, edit
<filename>/etc/ttys</filename> (see &man.ttys.5;) and add
entries for <devicename>ttyv8</devicename> to
<devicename>ttyvc</devicename> after the comment on
<quote>Virtual terminals</quote>:</para>
<programlisting># Edit the existing entry for ttyv8 in /etc/ttys and change
# "off" to "on".
ttyv8 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 on secure
ttyv9 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 on secure
ttyva "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 on secure
ttyvb "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 on secure</programlisting>
<para>Use as many or as few as you want. The more virtual
terminals you have, the more resources that are used; this
can be important if you have 8 MB RAM or less. You may
also want to change the <literal>secure</literal> to
<literal>insecure</literal>.</para>
<important>
<para>If you want to run an X server you
<emphasis>must</emphasis> leave at least one virtual
terminal unused (or turned off) for it to use. That is to
say that if you want to have a login prompt pop up for all
twelve of your Alt-function keys, you are out of luck
— you can only do this for eleven of them if you
also want to run an X server on the same machine.</para>
</important>
<para>The easiest way to disable a console is by turning it
off. For example, if you had the full 12 terminal
allocation mentioned above and you wanted to run X, you
would change settings for virtual terminal 12 from:</para>
<programlisting>ttyvb "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 on secure</programlisting>
<para>to:</para>
<programlisting>ttyvb "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 off secure</programlisting>
<para>If your keyboard has only ten function keys, you would
end up with:</para>
<programlisting>ttyv9 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 off secure
ttyva "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 off secure
ttyvb "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 off secure</programlisting>
<para>(You could also just delete these lines.)</para>
<para>Next, the easiest (and cleanest) way to activate the
virtual consoles is to reboot. However, if you really do
not want to reboot, you can just shut down the X Window
system and execute (as <username>root</username>):</para>
<screen>&prompt.root; <userinput>kill -HUP 1</userinput></screen>
<para>It is imperative that you completely shut down X Window
if it is running, before running this command. If you do not,
your system will probably appear to hang or lock up after
executing the <command>kill</command> command.</para>

is to have the script sleep 10 seconds or so then launch
<command>xdm</command>.</para>
<para>If you are to start <command>xdm</command> from
<filename>/etc/ttys</filename>, there still is a chance of
conflict between <command>xdm</command> and &man.getty.8;.
One way to avoid this is to add the <literal>vt</literal>
number in the
<filename>/usr/local/lib/X11/xdm/Xservers</filename>
file:</para>
<programlisting>:0 local /usr/local/bin/X vt4</programlisting>
<para>The above example will direct the X server to run in
<devicename>/dev/ttyv3</devicename>. Note the number is
offset by one. The X server counts the vty from one,
whereas the &os; kernel numbers the vty from zero.</para>

<question id="xconsole-failure">
<para>Why do I get <errorname>Couldn't open
console</errorname> when I run
<command>xconsole</command>?</para>
</question>
<answer>
<para>If you start <application>X</application> with
<command>startx</command>, the permissions on
<devicename>/dev/console</devicename> will
<emphasis>not</emphasis> get changed, resulting in things
like <command>xterm -C</command> and
<command>xconsole</command> not working.</para>
<para>This is because of the way console permissions are set
by default. On a multi-user system, one does not
necessarily want just any user to be able to write on the
system console. For users who are logging directly onto a
machine with a VTY, the &man.fbtab.5; file exists to solve
such problems.</para>
<para>In a nutshell, make sure an uncommented line of the form
is in <filename>/etc/fbtab</filename> (see
&man.fbtab.5;):</para>
<programlisting>/dev/ttyv0 0600 /dev/console</programlisting>
<para>It will ensure that whomever logs in on
<devicename>/dev/ttyv0</devicename> will own the

<question id="xfree86-root">
<para>Before, I was able to run &xfree86; as a regular user.
Why does it now say that I must be
<username>root</username>?</para>
</question>
<answer>
<para>All X servers need to be run as
<username>root</username> in order to get direct access to
your video hardware. Older versions of &xfree86; (<=
3.3.6) installed all bundled servers to be automatically run
as <username>root</username> (setuid to
<username>root</username>). This is obviously a security
hazard because X servers are large, complicated programs.
Newer versions of &xfree86; do not install the servers
setuid to <username>root</username> for just this
reason.</para>
<para>Obviously, running an X server as the
<username>root</username> user is not acceptable, nor a good
idea security-wise. There are two ways to be able to use X
as a regular user. The first is to use
<command>xdm</command> or another display manager (e.g.,
<command>kdm</command>); the second is to use the
<command>Xwrapper</command>.</para>
<para><command>xdm</command> is a daemon that handles
graphical logins. It is usually started at boot time, and is
responsible for authenticating users and starting their
sessions; it is essentially the graphical counterpart of
&man.getty.8; and &man.login.1;. For more information on
<command>xdm</command> see <ulink
url="http://www.xfree86.org/sos/resources.html">the &xfree86; documentation</ulink>,
and the <link
linkend="xdm-boot">the FAQ entry</link> on it.</para>
<para><command>Xwrapper</command> is the X server wrapper; it
is a small utility to enable one to manually run an X server
while maintaining reasonable safety. It performs some
sanity checks on the command line arguments given, and if
they pass, runs the appropriate X server. If you do not
want to run a display manager for whatever reason, this is
for you. If you have installed the complete Ports
Collection, you can find the port in <filename
role="package">x11/wrapper</filename>.</para>

<question id="install-splash">
<para>How do I install a splash screen and where do I find
them?</para>
</question>
<answer>
<para>&os; have a feature to allow the display of
<quote>splash</quote> screens during the boot messages. The
splash screens currently must be a 256 color bitmap
(<filename>*.BMP</filename>) or ZSoft PCX
(<filename>*.PCX</filename>) file. In addition, they must
have a resolution of 320x200 or less to work on standard VGA
adapters. If you compile VESA support into your kernel,
then you can use larger bitmaps up to 1024x768. The actual
VESA support can either be compiled directly into the kernel
with the <literal>VESA</literal> kernel config option or by
loading the VESA kld module during bootup.</para>
<para>To use a splash screen, you need to modify the startup
files that control the boot process for &os;.</para>
<para>You need to create a
<filename>/boot/loader.rc</filename> file that contains the
following lines:</para>
<programlisting>include /boot/loader.4th
start</programlisting>
<para>and a <filename>/boot/loader.conf</filename> that
contains the following:</para>
<programlisting>splash_bmp_load="YES"
bitmap_load="YES"</programlisting>
<para>This assumes you are using
<filename>/boot/splash.bmp</filename> for your splash
screen. If you would rather use a PCX file, copy it to
<filename>/boot/splash.pcx</filename>, create a
<filename>/boot/loader.rc</filename> as instructed above,
and create a <filename>/boot/loader.conf</filename> that
contains:</para>
<programlisting>splash_pcx_load="YES"
bitmap_load="YES"
bitmap_name="/boot/splash.pcx"</programlisting>

<question id="windows-keys">

<para>Yes. All you need to do is use &man.xmodmap.1; to
define what function you wish them to perform.</para>
<para>Assuming all <quote>Windows</quote> keyboards are
standard then the keycodes for these three keys are the
following:</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para><keycode>115</keycode> —
<keycap>Windows</keycap> key, between the left-hand
<keycap>Ctrl</keycap> and <keycap>Alt</keycap>
keys</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para><keycode>116</keycode> —
<keycap>Windows</keycap> key, to the right of the
<keycap>AltGr</keycap> key</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para><keycode>117</keycode> — <keycap>Menu</keycap>
key, to the left of the right-hand <keycap>Ctrl</keycap>
key</para>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<para>To have the left <keycap>Windows</keycap> key print a
comma, try this.</para>
<screen>&prompt.root; <userinput>xmodmap -e "keycode 115 = comma"</userinput></screen>
<para>You will probably have to re-start your window manager
to see the result.</para>
<para>To have the <keycap>Windows</keycap> key-mappings
enabled automatically every time you start X either put the
<command>xmodmap</command> commands in your
<filename>~/.xinitrc</filename> file or, preferably, create
a file <filename>~/.xmodmaprc</filename> and include the
<command>xmodmap</command> options, one per line, then add
the following line to your
<filename>~/.xinitrc</filename>:</para>
<programlisting>xmodmap $HOME/.xmodmaprc</programlisting>
<para>For example, you could map the 3 keys to be
<keycap>F13</keycap>, <keycap>F14</keycap>, and
<keycap>F15</keycap>, respectively. This would make it easy
to map them to useful functions within applications or your
window manager, as demonstrated further down.</para>
<para>To do this put the following in
<filename>~/.xmodmaprc</filename>.</para>
<programlisting>keycode 115 = F13
keycode 116 = F14
keycode 117 = F15</programlisting>
<para>If you use the <filename
role="package">x11-wm/fvwm2</filename> port, for example,
you could map the keys so that <keycap>F13</keycap>
iconifies (or de-iconifies) the window the cursor is in,
<keycap>F14</keycap> brings the window the cursor is in to
the front or, if it is already at the front, pushes it to
the back, and <keycap>F15</keycap> pops up the main
Workplace (application) menu even if the cursor is not on
the desktop, which is useful if you do not have any part of
the desktop visible (and the logo on the key matches its
functionality).</para>
<para>The following entries in <filename>~/.fvwmrc</filename>
implement the aforementioned setup:</para>

Key F14 FTIWS A RaiseLower
Key F15 A A Menu Workplace Nop</programlisting>

<question id="ipfw-fwd">
<para>Why is my <command>ipfw</command> <quote>fwd</quote>
rule to redirect a service to another machine not
working?</para>
</question>
<answer>
<para>Possibly because you want to do network address
translation (NAT) and not just forward packets. A
<quote>fwd</quote> rule does exactly what it says; it
forwards packets. It does not actually change the data
inside the packet. Say we have a rule like:</para>
<screen>01000 fwd <replaceable>10.0.0.1</replaceable> from any to <replaceable>foo 21</replaceable></screen>
<para>When a packet with a destination address of
<replaceable>foo</replaceable> arrives at the machine with
this rule, the packet is forwarded to
<replaceable>10.0.0.1</replaceable>, but it still has the
destination address of <replaceable>foo</replaceable>! The
destination address of the packet is
<emphasis>not</emphasis> changed to
<replaceable>10.0.0.1</replaceable>. Most machines would
probably drop a packet that they receive with a destination
address that is not their own. Therefore, using a
<quote>fwd</quote> rule does not often work the way the user
expects. This behavior is a feature and not a bug.</para>

<question id="icmp-response-bw-limit">
<para>What are these messages about: <errorname>Limiting
icmp/open port/closed port response</errorname> in my log
files?</para>
</question>
<answer>
<para>This is the kernel telling you that some activity is
provoking it to send more ICMP or TCP reset (RST) responses
than it thinks it should. ICMP responses are often
generated as a result of attempted connections to unused UDP
ports. TCP resets are generated as a result of attempted
connections to unopened TCP ports. Among others, these are
the kinds of activities which may cause these
messages:</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>Brute-force denial of service (DoS) attacks (as
opposed to single-packet attacks which exploit a
specific vulnerability).</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>Port scans which attempt to connect to a large
number of ports (as opposed to only trying a few
well-known ports).</para>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<para>The first number in the message tells you how many
packets the kernel would have sent if the limit was not in
place, and the second number tells you the limit. You can
control the limit using the
<varname>net.inet.icmp.icmplim</varname> sysctl variable
like this, where <literal>300</literal> is the limit in
packets per second:</para>
<screen>&prompt.root; <userinput>sysctl -w net.inet.icmp.icmplim=300</userinput></screen>
<para>If you do not want to see messages about this in your
log files, but you still want the kernel to do response
limiting, you can use the
<varname>net.inet.icmp.icmplim_output</varname> sysctl
variable to disable the output like this:</para>
<screen>&prompt.root; <userinput>sysctl -w net.inet.icmp.icmplim_output=0</userinput></screen>
<para>Finally, if you want to disable response limiting, you
can set the <varname>net.inet.icmp.icmplim</varname> sysctl
variable (see above for an example) to <literal>0</literal>.
Disabling response limiting is discouraged for the reasons

<question id="sandbox">
<para>What is a sandbox?</para>
</question><answer>
<para><quote>Sandbox</quote> is a security term. It can mean
two things:</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>A process which is placed inside a set of virtual
walls that are designed to prevent someone who breaks
into the process from being able to break into the wider
system.</para>
<para>The process is said to be able to
<quote>play</quote> inside the walls. That is, nothing
the process does in regards to executing code is
supposed to be able to breech the walls so you do not
have to do a detailed audit of its code to be able to
say certain things about its security.</para>
<para>The walls might be a user ID, for example.
This is the definition used in the &man.security.7; and
&man.named.8; man pages.</para>
<para>Take the <literal>ntalk</literal> service, for
example (see &man.inetd.8;). This service used to run
as user ID <username>root</username>. Now it runs
as user ID <username>tty</username>. The
<username>tty</username> user is a sandbox designed to
make it more difficult for someone who has successfully
hacked into the system via <literal>ntalk</literal> from
being able to hack beyond that user ID.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>A process which is placed inside a simulation of the
machine. This is more hard-core. Basically it means
that someone who is able to break into the process may
believe that he can break into the wider machine but is,
in fact, only breaking into a simulation of that machine
and not modifying any real data.</para>
<para>The most common way to accomplish this is to build a
simulated environment in a subdirectory and then run the
processes in that directory chroot'd (i.e. <filename
class="directory">/</filename> for that process is this
directory, not the real <filename
class="directory">/</filename> of the system).</para>
<para>Another common use is to mount an underlying file
system read-only and then create a file system layer on
top of it that gives a process a seemingly writeable
view into that file system. The process may believe it
is able to write to those files, but only the process
sees the effects — other processes in the system
do not, necessarily.</para>
<para>An attempt is made to make this sort of sandbox so
transparent that the user (or hacker) does not realize
that he is sitting in it.</para>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<para>&unix; implements two core sandboxes. One is at the
process level, and one is at the userid level.</para>
<para>Every &unix; process is completely firewalled off from
every other &unix; process. One process cannot modify the
address space of another. This is unlike &windows; where a
process can easily overwrite the address space of any other,
leading to a crash.</para>
<para>A &unix; process is owned by a particular userid. If
the user ID is not the <username>root</username> user,
it serves to firewall the process off from processes owned
by other users. The user ID is also used to firewall
off on-disk data.</para>

<question id="securelevel">
<para>What is securelevel?</para>
</question>
<answer>
<para>The securelevel is a security mechanism implemented in
the kernel. Basically, when the securelevel is positive, the
kernel restricts certain tasks; not even the superuser
(i.e., <username>root</username>) is allowed to do them. At
the time of this writing, the securelevel mechanism is
capable of, among other things, limiting the ability
to:</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>Unset certain file flags, such as
<literal>schg</literal> (the system immutable
flag).</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>Write to kernel memory via
<devicename>/dev/mem</devicename> and
<devicename>/dev/kmem</devicename>.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>Load kernel modules.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>Alter firewall rules.</para>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<para>To check the status of the securelevel on a running
system, simply execute the following command:</para>
<screen>&prompt.root; <userinput>sysctl kern.securelevel</userinput></screen>
<para>The output will contain the name of the &man.sysctl.8;
variable (in this case, <varname>kern.securelevel</varname>)
and a number. The latter is the current value of the
securelevel. If it is positive (i.e., greater than 0), at
least some of the securelevel's protections are
enabled.</para>
<para>You cannot lower the securelevel of a running system;
being able to do that would defeat its purpose. If you need
to do a task that requires that the securelevel be
non-positive (e.g., an <maketarget>installworld</maketarget>
or changing the date), you will have to change the
securelevel setting in <filename>/etc/rc.conf</filename>
(you want to look for the
<varname>kern_securelevel</varname> and
<varname>kern_securelevel_enable</varname> variables) and
reboot.</para>
<para>For more information on securelevel and the specific
things all the levels do, please consult the &man.init.8;
manual page.</para>
<warning>
<para>Securelevel is not a silver bullet; it has many known
deficiencies. More often than not, it provides a false
sense of security.</para>
<para>One of its biggest problems is that in order for it to
be at all effective, all files used in the boot process up
until the securelevel is set must be protected. If an
attacker can get the system to execute their code prior to
the securelevel being set (which happens quite late in the
boot process since some things the system must do at
start-up cannot be done at an elevated securelevel), its
protections are invalidated. While this task of
protecting all files used in the boot process is not
technically impossible, if it is achieved, system
maintenance will become a nightmare since one would have
to take the system down, at least to single-user mode, to
modify a configuration file.</para>
<para>This point and others are often discussed on the
mailing lists, particularly the &a.security;. Please
search the archives <ulink
url="&url.base;/search/index.html">here</ulink> for an
extensive discussion. Some people are hopeful that
securelevel will soon go away in favor of a more
fine-grained mechanism, but things are still hazy in this
respect.</para>

<para>Do not worry. <username>toor</username> is an
<quote>alternative</quote> superuser account (toor is root
spelt backwards). Previously it was created when the
&man.bash.1; shell was installed but now it is created by

shell so you do not have to change
<username>root</username>'s default shell. This is
important as shells which are not part of the base
distribution (for example a shell installed from ports or
packages) are likely to be installed in
<filename class="directory">/usr/local/bin</filename> which, by default,
resides on a different file system. If
<username>root</username>'s shell is located in
<filename class="directory">/usr/local/bin</filename> and
<filename class="directory">/usr</filename> (or whatever file system contains
<filename class="directory">/usr/local/bin</filename>) is not mounted for some
reason, <username>root</username> will not be able to log in

<answer>
<para>Many people experience hung connections with no apparent
explanation. The first thing to establish is which side of
the link is hung.</para>
<para>If you are using an external modem, you can simply try
using &man.ping.8; to see if the <acronym>TD</acronym> light
is flashing when you transmit data. If it flashes (and the
<acronym>RD</acronym> light does not), the problem is with
the remote end. If <acronym>TD</acronym> does not flash,
the problem is local. With an internal modem, you will need
to use the <literal>set server</literal> command in your
<filename>ppp.conf</filename> file. When the hang occurs,
connect to &man.ppp.8; using &man.pppctl.8;. If your
network connection suddenly revives (PPP was revived due to
the activity on the diagnostic socket) or if you cannot
connect (assuming the <literal>set socket</literal> command
succeeded at startup time), the problem is local. If you
can connect and things are still hung, enable local async
logging with <literal>set log local async</literal> and use
&man.ping.8; from another window or terminal to make use of
the link. The async logging will show you the data being
transmitted and received on the link. If data is going out
and not coming back, the problem is remote.</para>

You can <literal>enable lqr</literal> in your
<filename>ppp.conf</filename> file, allowing &man.ppp.8; to
detect the remote failure and hang up, but this detection is
relatively slow and therefore not that useful. You may want
to avoid telling your ISP that you are running
user-PPP.</para>
<para>First, try disabling all local compression by adding the
following to your configuration:</para>
<programlisting>disable pred1 deflate deflate24 protocomp acfcomp shortseq vj
deny pred1 deflate deflate24 protocomp acfcomp shortseq vj</programlisting>
<para>Then reconnect to ensure that this makes no difference.
If things improve or if the problem is solved completely,
determine which setting makes the difference through trial
and error. This will provide good ammunition when you
contact your ISP (although it may make it apparent that you
are not running a µsoft; product).</para>
<para>Before contacting your ISP, enable async logging locally
and wait until the connection hangs again. This may use up
quite a bit of disk space. The last data read from the port
may be of interest. It is usually ASCII data, and may even
describe the problem (<errorname>Memory fault</errorname>,
<errorname>Core dumped</errorname>).</para>
<para>If your ISP is helpful, they should be able to enable
logging on their end, then when the next link drop occurs,
they may be able to tell you why their side is having a
problem. Feel free to send the details to &a.brian;, or
even to ask your ISP to contact him directly.</para>

<question id="ppp-same-magic">
<para>I keep seeing errors about magic being the same. What
does it mean?</para>
</question>
<answer>
<para>Occasionally, just after connecting, you may see
messages in the log that say <errorname>Magic is
same</errorname>. Sometimes, these messages are harmless,
and sometimes one side or the other exits. Most PPP
implementations cannot survive this problem, and even if the
link seems to come up, you will see repeated configure
requests and configure acknowledgments in the log file until
&man.ppp.8; eventually gives up and closes the
connection.</para>
<para>This normally happens on server machines with slow disks
that are spawning a &man.getty.8; on the port, and executing
&man.ppp.8; from a login script or program after login.
There were reports of it happening consistently when using
slirp. The reason is that in the time taken between
&man.getty.8; exiting and &man.ppp.8; starting, the
client-side &man.ppp.8; starts sending Line Control Protocol
(LCP) packets. Because ECHO is still switched on for the
port on the server, the client &man.ppp.8; sees these
packets <quote>reflect</quote> back.</para>
<para>One part of the LCP negotiation is to establish a magic
number for each side of the link so that
<quote>reflections</quote> can be detected. The protocol
says that when the peer tries to negotiate the same magic
number, a NAK should be sent and a new magic number should
be chosen. During the period that the server port has ECHO
turned on, the client &man.ppp.8; sends LCP packets, sees
the same magic in the reflected packet and NAKs it. It also
sees the NAK reflect (which also means &man.ppp.8; must
change its magic). This produces a potentially enormous
number of magic number changes, all of which are happily
piling into the server's tty buffer. As soon as &man.ppp.8;
starts on the server, it is flooded with magic number
changes and almost immediately decides it has tried enough
to negotiate LCP and gives up. Meanwhile, the client, who
no longer sees the reflections, becomes happy just in time
to see a hangup from the server.</para>
<para>This can be avoided by allowing the peer to start
negotiating with the following line in your
<filename>ppp.conf</filename> file:</para>
<programlisting>set openmode passive</programlisting>
<para>This tells &man.ppp.8; to wait for the server to
initiate LCP negotiations. Some servers however may never
initiate negotiations. If this is the case, you can do
something like:</para>
<programlisting>set openmode active 3</programlisting>
<para>This tells &man.ppp.8; to be passive for 3 seconds, and
then to start sending LCP requests. If the peer starts
sending requests during this period, &man.ppp.8; will
immediately respond rather than waiting for the full 3
second period.</para>

<question id="ppp-lcp-constant">
<para>LCP negotiations continue until the connection is
closed. What is wrong?</para>
</question>
<answer>
<para>There is currently an implementation mis-feature in
&man.ppp.8; where it does not associate LCP, CCP & IPCP
responses with their original requests. As a result, if one
PPP implementation is more than 6 seconds slower than the
other side, the other side will send two additional LCP
configuration requests. This is fatal.</para>
<para>Consider two implementations, <hostid>A</hostid> and
<hostid>B</hostid>. <hostid>A</hostid> starts sending LCP
requests immediately after connecting and <hostid>B</hostid>
takes 7 seconds to start. When <hostid>B</hostid> starts,
<hostid>A</hostid> has sent 3 LCP REQs. We are assuming the
line has ECHO switched off, otherwise we would see magic
number problems as described in the previous section.
<hostid>B</hostid> sends a REQ, then an ACK to the first of
<hostid>A</hostid>'s REQs. This results in
<hostid>A</hostid> entering the <acronym>OPENED</acronym>
state and sending and ACK (the first) back to
<hostid>B</hostid>. In the meantime, <hostid>B</hostid>
sends back two more ACKs in response to the two additional
REQs sent by <hostid>A</hostid> before <hostid>B</hostid>
started up. <hostid>B</hostid> then receives the first ACK
from <hostid>A</hostid> and enters the
<acronym>OPENED</acronym> state. <hostid>A</hostid>
receives the second ACK from <hostid>B</hostid> and goes
back to the <acronym>REQ-SENT</acronym> state, sending
another (forth) REQ as per the RFC. It then receives the
third ACK and enters the <acronym>OPENED</acronym> state.
In the meantime, <hostid>B</hostid> receives the forth REQ
from <hostid>A</hostid>, resulting in it reverting to the
<acronym>ACK-SENT</acronym> state and sending another
(second) REQ and (forth) ACK as per the RFC.
<hostid>A</hostid> gets the REQ, goes into
<acronym>REQ-SENT</acronym> and sends another REQ. It
immediately receives the following ACK and enters
<acronym>OPENED</acronym>.</para>
<para>This goes on until one side figures out that they are
getting nowhere and gives up.</para>
<para>The best way to avoid this is to configure one side to
be <literal>passive</literal> — that is, make one side
wait for the other to start negotiating. This can be done
with the following command:</para>
<programlisting>set openmode passive</programlisting>
<para>Care should be taken with this option. You should also
use the this command to limit the amount of time that
&man.ppp.8; waits for the peer to begin negotations:</para>
<programlisting>set stopped <replaceable>N</replaceable></programlisting>
<para>Alternatively, the following command (where
<replaceable>N</replaceable> is the number of seconds to

<question id="ppp-auto-noreasondial">
<para>Why does &man.ppp.8; dial for no reason in

</question>
<answer>
<para>If &man.ppp.8; is dialing unexpectedly, you must
determine the cause, and set up Dial filters (dfilters) to
prevent such dialing.</para>
<para>To determine the cause, use the following line:</para>
<programlisting>set log +tcp/ip</programlisting>
<para>This will log all traffic through the connection. The
next time the line comes up unexpectedly, you will see the
reason logged with a convenient timestamp next to it.</para>
<para>You can now disable dialing under these circumstances.
Usually, this sort of problem arises due to DNS lookups. To
prevent DNS lookups from establishing a connection (this
will <emphasis>not</emphasis> prevent &man.ppp.8; from
passing the packets through an established connection), use
the following:</para>
<programlisting>set dfilter 1 deny udp src eq 53
set dfilter 2 deny udp dst eq 53
set dfilter 3 permit 0/0 0/0</programlisting>
<para>This is not always suitable, as it will effectively
break your demand-dial capabilities — most programs
will need a DNS lookup before doing any other network
related things.</para>
<para>In the DNS case, you should try to determine what is
actually trying to resolve a host name. A lot of the time,
&man.sendmail.8; is the culprit. You should make sure that
you tell <application>sendmail</application> not to do any
DNS lookups in its configuration file. See the section on

<answer>
<para>The <application>ppp</application> utility (or any other

<para>Now, if and when &man.ppp.8; receives the segmentation

<question id="ppp-autodialprocess-noconnect">
<para>Why does the process that forces a dial in
<option>-auto</option> mode never connect?</para>
</question>
<answer>
<para>This was a known problem with &man.ppp.8; set up to
negotiate a dynamic local IP number with the peer in
<option>-auto</option> mode. It has been fixed a long time
ago — search the manual page for
<literal>iface</literal>.</para>
<para>The problem was that when that initial program calls
&man.connect.2;, the IP number of the &man.tun.4; interface
is assigned to the socket endpoint. The kernel creates the
first outgoing packet and writes it to the &man.tun.4;
device. &man.ppp.8; then reads the packet and establishes a
connection. If, as a result of &man.ppp.8;'s dynamic IP
assignment, the interface address is changed, the original
socket endpoint will be invalid. Any subsequent packets
sent to the peer will usually be dropped. Even if they are
not, any responses will not route back to the originating
machine as the IP number is no longer owned by that
machine.</para>
<para>There are several theoretical ways to approach this
problem. It would be nicest if the peer would re-assign the
same IP number if possible. The current version of
&man.ppp.8; does this, but most other implementations do
not.</para>
<para>The easiest method from our side would be to never
change the &man.tun.4; interface IP number, but instead to
change all outgoing packets so that the source IP number is
changed from the interface IP to the negotiated IP on the
fly. This is essentially what the
<literal>iface-alias</literal> option in the latest version
of &man.ppp.8; is doing (with the help of &man.libalias.3;
and &man.ppp.8;'s <option>-nat</option> switch) — it
is maintaining all previous interface addresses and NATing
them to the last negotiated address.</para>
<para>Another alternative (and probably the most reliable)
would be to implement a system call that changes all bound
sockets from one IP to another. &man.ppp.8; would use this
call to modify the sockets of all existing programs when a
new IP number is negotiated. The same system call could be
used by <acronym>DHCP</acronym> clients when they are forced
to call the <function>bind()</function> function for their
sockets.</para>
<para>Yet another possibility is to allow an interface to be
brought up without an IP number. Outgoing packets would be
given an IP number of <hostid
role="ipaddr">255.255.255.255</hostid> up until the first
<literal>SIOCAIFADDR</literal> &man.ioctl.2; is done. This
would result in fully binding the socket. It would be up to
&man.ppp.8; to change the source IP number, but only if it
is set to <hostid role="ipaddr">255.255.255.255</hostid>,
and only the IP number and IP checksum would need to change.
This, however is a bit of a hack as the kernel would be
sending bad packets to an improperly configured interface,
on the assumption that some other mechanism is capable of
fixing things retrospectively.</para>

<question id="ppp-nat-games">
<para>Why do most games not work with the

</question>
<answer>
<para>The reason games and the like do not work when
&man.libalias.3; is in use is that the machine on the outside
will try to open a connection or send (unsolicited) UDP
packets to the machine on the inside. The NAT software does
not know that it should send these packets to the interior
machine.</para>
<para>To make things work, make sure that the only thing
running is the software that you are having problems with,
then either run &man.tcpdump.1; on the &man.tun.4; interface
of the gateway or enable &man.ppp.8; TCP/IP logging
(<literal>set log +tcp/ip</literal>) on the gateway.</para>
<para>When you start the offending software, you should see
packets passing through the gateway machine. When something
comes back from the outside, it will be dropped (that is the
problem). Note the port number of these packets then shut
down the offending software. Do this a few times to see if
the port numbers are consistent. If they are, then the
following line in the relevant section of
<filename>/etc/ppp/ppp.conf</filename> will make the
software functional:</para>

<literal>tcp</literal> or <literal>udp</literal>,
<replaceable>internalmachine</replaceable> is the machine
that you want the packets to be sent to and
<replaceable>port</replaceable> is the destination port
number of the packets.</para>
<para>You will not be able to use the software on other
machines without changing the above command, and running the
software on two internal machines at the same time is out of
the question — after all, the outside world is seeing
your entire internal network as being just a single
machine.</para>

This usually involves reading certain recognised
outgoing packets, identifying the instruction that tells
the outside machine to initiate a connection back to the
internal machine on a specific (random) port and setting

<question id="fcs-errors">
<para>What are FCS errors?</para>
</question>
<answer>
<para>FCS stands for <literal>F</literal>rame
<literal>C</literal>heck <literal>S</literal>equence. Each
PPP packet has a checksum attached to ensure that the data
being received is the data being sent. If the FCS of an
incoming packet is incorrect, the packet is dropped and the
HDLC FCS count is increased. The HDLC error values can be
displayed using the <literal>show hdlc</literal>
command.</para>
<para>If your link is bad (or if your serial driver is
dropping packets), you will see the occasional FCS error.
This is not usually worth worrying about although it does
slow down the compression protocols substantially. If you
have an external modem, make sure your cable is properly
shielded from interference — this may eradicate the
problem.</para>
<para>If your link freezes as soon as you have connected and
you see a large number of FCS errors, this may be because your
link is not 8-bit clean. Make sure your modem is not using
software flow control (XON/XOFF). If your datalink
<emphasis>must</emphasis> use software flow control, use the
command <literal>set accmap 0x000a0000</literal> to tell
&man.ppp.8; to escape the <literal>^Q</literal> and
<literal>^S</literal> characters.</para>
<para>Another reason for seeing too many FCS errors may be
that the remote end has stopped talking
<acronym>PPP</acronym>. You may want to enable
<literal>async</literal> logging at this point to determine
if the incoming data is actually a login or shell prompt.
If you have a shell prompt at the remote end, it is possible
to terminate &man.ppp.8; without dropping the line by using
the <command>close lcp</command> command (a following
<command>term</command> command) will reconnect you to the
shell on the remote machine.</para>
<para>If nothing in your log file indicates why the link might
have been terminated, you should ask the remote
administrator (your ISP?) why the session was
terminated.</para>

<question id="macos-win98-pppoe-freeze">
<para>Why do &macos; and &windows; 98 connections freeze
when running PPPoE on the gateway?</para>
</question>
<answer>
<para>Thanks to Michael Wozniak
<email>mwozniak@netcom.ca</email> for figuring this out and
Dan Flemming <email>danflemming@mac.com</email> for the Mac
solution:</para>
<para>This is due to what is called a <quote>Black
Hole</quote> router. &macos; and &windows; 98 (and maybe
other µsoft; OSs) send TCP packets with a requested
segment size too big to fit into a PPPoE frame (MTU is
<literal>1500</literal> by default for Ethernet)
<emphasis>and</emphasis> have the <quote>do not
fragment</quote> bit set (default of TCP) and the Telco
router is not sending ICMP <quote>must fragment</quote> back
to the WWW site you are trying to load. (Alternatively, the
router is sending the ICMP packet correctly, but the
firewall at the WWW site is dropping it.) When the www
server is sending you frames that do not fit into the PPPoE
pipe the Telco router drops them on the floor and your page
does not load (some pages/graphics do as they are smaller
than a MSS.) This seems to be the default of most Telco
PPPoE configurations.</para>
<para>One fix is to use <application>regedit</application> on
your 95/98 system to add the following registry entry:</para>
<programlisting>HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Class\NetTrans\0000\MaxMTU</programlisting>
<para>It should be a string with a value
<literal>1436</literal>, as some ADSL routers are reported
to be unable to deal with packets larger than this. This
registry key has been changed to
<literal>Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces\<replaceable>ID for
adapter</replaceable>\MTU</literal> in &windows; 2000
and becomes a <literal>DWORD</literal>.</para>
<para>Refer to the Microsoft Knowledge Base documents <ulink
url="http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q158/4/74.asp">Q158474 - Windows TCPIP Registry Entries</ulink>
and <ulink

for adapter</replaceable>\EnablePMTUBHDetect</literal>
<literal>DWORD</literal> to <literal>1</literal> as
mentioned in the Microsoft document 120642 mentioned
above.</para>
<para>Unfortunately, &macos; does not provide an interface for
changing TCP/IP settings. However, there many commercial
software available that will allow users to customize TCP/IP
settings. &macos; NAT users should search for their MTU
settings and enter <literal>1450</literal> instead of
<literal>1500</literal>.</para>

<question id="found-serial">
<para>How do I tell if &os; found my serial ports?</para>
</question>
<answer>
<para>As the &os; kernel boots, it will probe for the serial
ports in your system for which the kernel was configured.
You can either watch your system closely for the messages it
prints or run this command after your system is up and
running:</para>
<screen>&prompt.user; <userinput>dmesg | grep -E "^sio[0-9]"</userinput></screen>
<para>Here is some example output from the above
command:</para>
<programlisting>sio0: <16550A-compatible COM port> port 0x3f8-0x3ff irq 4 flags 0x10 on acpi0
sio0: type 16550A
sio1: <16550A-compatible COM port> port 0x2f8-0x2ff irq 3 on acpi0
sio1: type 16550A</programlisting>
<para>This shows two serial ports. The first is on
IRQ 4, is using port address <literal>0x3f8</literal>,
and has a 16550A-type UART chip. The second uses the same
kind of chip but is on IRQ 3 and is at port address
<literal>0x2f8</literal>. Internal modem cards are treated
just like serial ports — except that they always have
a modem <quote>attached</quote> to the port.</para>
<para>The <filename>GENERIC</filename> kernel includes support
for two serial ports using the same IRQ and port address
settings in the above example. If these settings are not
right for your system, or if you have added modem cards or
have more serial ports than your kernel is configured for,
just reconfigure your kernel. See section <link
linkend="make-kernel">about building a kernel</link> for
more details.</para>

<para>How do I access the serial ports on &os;?</para>
</question>
<answer>
<para>The third serial port, <devicename>sio2</devicename>
(see &man.sio.4;, known as <devicename>COM3</devicename> in
DOS), is on <devicename>/dev/cuad2</devicename> for dial-out
devices, and on <devicename>/dev/ttyd2</devicename> for
dial-in devices. What is the difference between these two
classes of devices?</para>
<para>You use
<devicename>ttyd<replaceable>X</replaceable></devicename>
for dial-ins. When opening
<devicename>/dev/ttyd<replaceable>X</replaceable></devicename>
in blocking mode, a process will wait for the corresponding
<devicename>cuad<replaceable>X</replaceable></devicename>
device to become inactive, and then wait for the carrier
detect line to go active. When you open the
<devicename>cuad<replaceable>X</replaceable></devicename>
device, it makes sure the serial port is not already in use
by the
<devicename>ttyd<replaceable>X</replaceable></devicename>
device. If the port is available, it <quote>steals</quote>
it from the
<devicename>ttyd<replaceable>X</replaceable></devicename>
device. Also, the
<devicename>cuad<replaceable>X</replaceable></devicename>
device does not care about carrier detect. With this scheme
and an auto-answer modem, you can have remote users log in
and you can still dial out with the same modem and the
system will take care of all the conflicts.</para>

<question id="enable-multiport-serial">
<para>How do I enable support for a multiport serial

<answer>
<para>Again, the section on kernel configuration provides
information about configuring your kernel. For a multiport
serial card, place an &man.sio.4; line for each serial port
on the card in the &man.device.hints.5; file. But place the
IRQ specifiers on only one of the entries. All of the ports
on the card should share one IRQ. For consistency, use the
last serial port to specify the IRQ. Also, specify the
following option in the kernel configuration file:</para>
<programlisting>options COM_MULTIPORT</programlisting>
<para>The following <filename>/boot/device.hints</filename>
example is for an AST 4-port serial card on
IRQ 12:</para>
<programlisting>hint.sio.4.at="isa"

<question id="more-swap">
<para>&os; uses far more swap space than &linux;. Why?</para>
</question>
<answer>
<para>&os; only appears to use more swap than &linux;. In
actual fact, it does not. The main difference between &os;
and &linux; in this regard is that &os; will proactively
move entirely idle, unused pages of main memory into swap in
order to make more main memory available for active use.
&linux; tends to only move pages to swap as a last resort.
The perceived heavier use of swap is balanced by the more
efficient use of main memory.</para>
<para>Note that while &os; is proactive in this regard, it
does not arbitrarily decide to swap pages when the system is
truly idle. Thus you will not find your system all paged
out when you get up in the morning after leaving it idle
overnight.</para>

<question id="top-freemem">
<para>Why does <command>top</command> show very little free
memory even when I have very few programs running?</para>
</question>
<answer>
<para>The simple answer is that free memory is wasted memory.
Any memory that your programs do not actively allocate is
used within the &os; kernel as disk cache. The values shown
by &man.top.1; labeled as <literal>Inact</literal>,
<literal>Cache</literal>, and <literal>Buf</literal> are all
cached data at different aging levels. This cached data
means the system does not have to access a slow disk again
for data it has accessed recently, thus increasing overall
performance. In general, a low value shown for
<literal>Free</literal> memory in &man.top.1; is good,
provided it is not <emphasis>very</emphasis> low.</para>

<question id="chmod-symlinks">
<para>Why will <command>chmod</command> not change the
permissions on symlinks?</para>
</question>
<answer>
<para>Symlinks do not have permissions, and by default,
&man.chmod.1; will not follow symlinks to change the
permissions on the target file. So if you have a file,
<filename>foo</filename>, and a symlink to that file,
<filename>bar</filename>, then this command will always
succeed.</para>
<screen>&prompt.user; <userinput>chmod g-w bar</userinput></screen>
<para>However, the permissions on <filename>foo</filename>
will not have changed.</para>
<para>You have to use either <option>-H</option> or
<option>-L</option> together with the <option>-R</option>
option to make this work. See the &man.chmod.1; and
&man.symlink.7; manual pages for more info.</para>
<warning>
<para>The <option>-R</option> option does a
<emphasis>recursive</emphasis> &man.chmod.1;. Be careful
about specifying directories or symlinks to directories to
&man.chmod.1;. If you want to change the permissions of a
directory referenced by a symlink, use &man.chmod.1;
without any options and follow the symlink with a trailing
slash (<filename class="directory">/</filename>). For example, if
<filename>foo</filename> is a symlink to directory
<filename class="directory">bar</filename>, and you want to change the
permissions of <filename>foo</filename> (actually
<filename class="directory">bar</filename>), you would do something
like:</para>
<screen>&prompt.user; <userinput>chmod 555 foo/</userinput></screen>
<para>With the trailing slash, &man.chmod.1; will follow the
symlink, <filename>foo</filename>, to change the

<question id="bikeshed-painting">
<para>Why should I care what color the bikeshed is?</para>
</question>
<answer>
<para>The really, really short answer is that you should not.
The somewhat longer answer is that just because you are
capable of building a bikeshed does not mean you should stop
others from building one just because you do not like the
color they plan to paint it. This is a metaphor indicating
that you need not argue about every little feature just
because you know enough to do so. Some people have
commented that the amount of noise generated by a change is
inversely proportional to the complexity of the
change.</para>
<para>The longer and more complete answer is that after a very
long argument about whether &man.sleep.1; should take
fractional second arguments, &a.phk; posted a long message
entitled <quote><ulink
url="http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=506636+517178+/usr/local/www/db/text/1999/freebsd-hackers/19991003.freebsd-hackers">A bike shed (any color will do) on greener grass...</ulink></quote>.

<para><quote>What is it about this bike shed?</quote> Some
of you have asked me.</para>
<para>It is a long story, or rather it is an old story, but
it is quite short actually. C. Northcote Parkinson wrote
a book in the early 1960s, called <quote>Parkinson's
Law</quote>, which contains a lot of insight into the
dynamics of management.</para>
<para><emphasis>[snip a bit of commentary on the
book]</emphasis></para>
<para>In the specific example involving the bike shed, the
other vital component is an atomic power-plant, I guess
that illustrates the age of the book.</para>
<para>Parkinson shows how you can go into the board of
directors and get approval for building a multi-million or
even billion dollar atomic power plant, but if you want to
build a bike shed you will be tangled up in endless
discussions.</para>
<para>Parkinson explains that this is because an atomic
plant is so vast, so expensive and so complicated that
people cannot grasp it, and rather than try, they fall
back on the assumption that somebody else checked all the
details before it got this far. Richard P. Feynmann
gives a couple of interesting, and very much to the point,
examples relating to Los Alamos in his books.</para>
<para>A bike shed on the other hand. Anyone can build one
of those over a weekend, and still have time to watch the
game on TV. So no matter how well prepared, no matter how
reasonable you are with your proposal, somebody will seize
the chance to show that he is doing his job, that he is
paying attention, that he is

<para>Q. Has anyone done any temperature testing while
running &os;? I know &linux; runs cooler than DOS, but have
never seen a mention of &os;. It seems to run really
hot.</para>
<para>A. No, but we have done numerous taste tests on
blindfolded volunteers who have also had 250 micrograms of
LSD-25 administered beforehand. 35% of the volunteers said
that &os; tasted sort of orange, whereas &linux; tasted like
purple haze. Neither group mentioned any significant
variances in temperature. We eventually had to throw the
results of this survey out entirely anyway when we found
that too many volunteers were wandering out of the room
during the tests, thus skewing the results. We think most
of the volunteers are at Apple now, working on their new
<quote>scratch and sniff</quote> GUI. It is a funny old
business we are in!</para>

<para>Q. Is there anything <quote>odd</quote> that &os; does
when compiling the kernel which would cause the memory to
make a scratchy sound? When compiling (and for a brief
moment after recognizing the floppy drive upon startup, as
well), a strange scratchy sound emanates from what appears
to be the memory banks.</para>
<para>A. Yes! You will see frequent references to
<quote>daemons</quote> in the BSD documentation, and what
most people do not know is that this refers to genuine,
non-corporeal entities that now possess your computer. The
scratchy sound coming from your memory is actually
high-pitched whispering exchanged among the daemons as they
best decide how to deal with various system administration
tasks.</para>
<para>If the noise gets to you, a good
<command>fdisk /mbr</command> from DOS will get rid of them,
but do not be surprised if they react adversely and try to
stop you. In fact, if at any point during the exercise you
hear the satanic voice of Bill Gates coming from the
built-in speaker, take off running and do not ever look
back! Freed from the counterbalancing influence of the BSD
daemons, the twin demons of DOS and &windows; are often able
to re-assert total control over your machine to the eternal
damnation of your soul. Now that you know, given a choice
you would probably prefer to get used to the scratchy

<question id="dev-null">
<para>Where does data written to
<filename>/dev/null</filename> go?</para>
</question>
<answer>
<para>It goes into a special data sink in the CPU where it is
converted to heat which is vented through the heatsink / fan
assembly. This is why CPU cooling is increasingly
important; as people get used to faster processors, they
become careless with their data and more and more of it ends
up in <filename>/dev/null</filename>, overheating their
CPUs. If you delete <filename>/dev/null</filename> (which
effectively disables the CPU data sink) your CPU may run
cooler but your system will quickly become constipated with
all that excess data and start to behave erratically. If
you have a fast network connection you can cool down your
CPU by reading data out of <filename>/dev/random</filename>
and sending it off somewhere; however you run the risk of
overheating your network connection and
<filename class="directory">/</filename> or angering your ISP, as most of the
data will end up getting converted to heat by their
equipment, but they generally have good cooling, so if you
do not overdo it you should be OK.</para>
<para><emphasis>Paul Robinson adds:</emphasis></para>
<para>There are other methods. As every good sysadmin knows,
it is part of standard practice to send data to the screen
of interesting variety to keep all the pixies that make up
your picture happy. Screen pixies (commonly mis-typed or
re-named as <quote>pixels</quote>) are categorized by the
type of hat they wear (red, green or blue) and will hide or
appear (thereby showing the color of their hat) whenever
they receive a little piece of food. Video cards turn data
into pixie-food, and then send them to the pixies —
the more expensive the card, the better the food, so the
better behaved the pixies are. They also need constant
stimulation — this is why screen savers exist.</para>
<para>To take your suggestions further, you could just throw
the random data to console, thereby letting the pixies
consume it. This causes no heat to be produced at all,
keeps the pixies happy and gets rid of your data quite
quickly, even if it does make things look a bit messy on
your screen.</para>
<para>Incidentally, as an ex-admin of a large ISP who
experienced many problems attempting to maintain a stable
temperature in a server room, I would strongly discourage
people sending the data they do not want out to the network.
The fairies who do the packet switching and routing get
annoyed by it as well.</para>

<question id="pnp-initialize">
<para>How are Plug N Play ISA cards detected and
initialized?</para>
</question>
<answer>
<para>By: Frank Durda IV
<email>uhclem@nemesis.lonestar.org</email></para>
<para>In a nutshell, there a few I/O ports that all of the PnP
boards respond to when the host asks if anyone is out there.
So when the PnP probe routine starts, it asks if there are
any PnP boards present, and all the PnP boards respond with
their model # to a I/O read of the same port, so the probe
routine gets a wired-OR <quote>yes</quote> to that question.
At least one bit will be on in that reply. Then the probe
code is able to cause boards with board model IDs (assigned
by µsoft;/&intel;) lower than <literal>X</literal> to
go <quote>off-line</quote>. It then looks to see if any
boards are still responding to the query. If the answer was
<literal>0</literal>, then there are no boards with IDs
above <literal>X</literal>. Probe will then ask for boards
below <literal>X</literal>. Finally, probe requests boards
greater than
<literal>X - (limit / 4)</literal> to go
off-line. It then repeats this query. By repeating this
semi-binary search of IDs-in-range enough times, the probing
code will eventually identify all PnP boards present in a
given machine with a number of iterations that is much lower
than what 2<superscript>64</superscript> would take.</para>
<para>The IDs are two 32-bit fields (hence
2<superscript>64</superscript>) + 8-bit checksum. The first
32 bits are a vendor identifier. They never come out
and say it, but it appears to be assumed that different
types of boards from the same vendor could have different
32-bit vendor IDs. The idea of needing 32 bits just
for unique manufacturers is a bit excessive.</para>
<para>The lower 32 bits are a serial #, or something else
that makes this one board unique. The vendor must never
produce a second board that has the same lower 32 bits
unless the upper 32 bits are also different. So you
can have multiple boards of the same type in the machine and
the full 64 bits will still be unique.</para>
<para>The 32-bit groups can never be all zero. This
allows the wired-OR to show non-zero bits during the initial
binary search.</para>
<para>Once the system has identified all the board IDs
present, it will reactivate each board, one at a time (via the
same I/O ports), and find out what resources the given board
needs, what interrupt choices are available, etc. A scan is
made over all the boards to collect this information.</para>
<para>This info is then combined with info from any ECU files
on the hard disk or wired into the MLB BIOS. The ECU and
BIOS PnP support for hardware on the MLB is usually
synthetic, and the peripherals do not really do genuine PnP.
However by examining the BIOS info plus the ECU info, the
probe routines can cause the devices that are PnP to avoid
those devices the probe code cannot relocate.</para>
<para>Then the PnP devices are visited once more and given
their I/O, DMA, IRQ and Memory-map address assignments. The
devices will then appear at those locations and remain there
until the next reboot, although there is nothing that says
you cannot move them around whenever you want.</para>
<para>There is a lot of oversimplification above, but you
should get the general idea.</para>
<para>µsoft; took over some of the primary printer status
ports to do PnP, on the logic that no boards decoded those
addresses for the opposing I/O cycles. I found a genuine
IBM printer board that did decode writes of the status port
during the early PnP proposal review period, but µsoft;
said <quote>tough</quote>. So they do a write to the
printer status port for setting addresses, plus that use
that address + <literal>0x800</literal>, and a third I/O
port for reading that can be located anywhere between
<literal>0x200</literal> and <literal>0x3ff</literal>.

<question id="alternate-directory-layout">
<para>What about alternative layout policies for

</question>
<answer>
<para>In answer to the question of alternative layout policies
for directories, the scheme that is currently in use is
unchanged from what I wrote in 1983. I wrote that policy
for the original fast file system, and never revisited it.
It works well at keeping cylinder groups from filling up.
As several of you have noted, it works poorly for find.
Most file systems are created from archives that were
created by a depth first search (aka ftw). These
directories end up being striped across the cylinder groups
thus creating a worst possible scenario for future depth
first searches. If one knew the total number of directories
to be created, the solution would be to create
<literal>(total / fs_ncg)</literal> per cylinder
group before moving on. Obviously, one would have to create
some heuristic to guess at this number. Even using a small
fixed number like say 10 would make an order of magnitude
improvement. To differentiate restores from normal
operation (when the current algorithm is probably more
sensible), you could use the clustering of up to 10 if they
were all done within a ten second window. Anyway, my
conclusion is that this is an area ripe for
experimentation.</para>

<para>Here is typical kernel panic:</para>

<para>When you see a message like this, it is not enough to

value that I highlighted up there is important;
unfortunately, it is also configuration dependent. In other
words, the value varies depending on the exact kernel image

snapshots, then it is possible for somebody else to track
down the offending function, but if you are running a custom

<para>where <literal>f0xxxxxx</literal> is the
instruction pointer value. The odds are you will not
get an exact match since the symbols in the kernel
symbol table are for the entry points of functions and
the instruction pointer address will be somewhere
inside a function, not at the start. If you do not
get an exact match, omit the last digit from the
instruction pointer value and try again, i.e.:</para>
<screen>&prompt.user; <userinput><command>nm</command> <option>-n</option> <replaceable>kernel.that.caused.the.panic</replaceable> | <command>grep</command> f0xxxxx</userinput></screen>
<para>If that does not yield any results, chop off another
digit. Repeat until you get some sort of output. The
result will be a possible list of functions which caused
the panic. This is a less than exact mechanism for
tracking down the point of failure, but it is better
than nothing.</para>
</step>
</procedure>
<para>However, the best way to track down the cause of a panic
is by capturing a crash dump, then using &man.kgdb.1; to
generate a stack trace on the crash dump.</para>
<para>In any case, the method is this:</para>
<procedure>
<step>
<para>Make sure that the following line is included in
your kernel configuration file
(/usr/src/sys/<replaceable>arch</replaceable>/conf/<replaceable>MYKERNEL</replaceable>):</para>
<programlisting>makeoptions DEBUG=-g # Build kernel with gdb(1) debug symbols</programlisting>
</step>
<step>
<para>Change to the <filename
class="directory">/usr/src</filename>
directory:</para>
<screen>&prompt.root; <command>cd</command> <filename class="directory">/usr/src</filename></screen>
</step>
<step>
<para>Compile the kernel:</para>
<screen>&prompt.root; <command>make</command> <maketarget>buildkernel</maketarget> <makevar>KERNCONFIG</makevar>=<replaceable>MYKERNEL</replaceable></screen>
</step>
<step>
<para>Wait for &man.make.1; to finish compiling.</para>
</step>
<step>
<screen>&prompt.root; <command>make</command> <maketarget>installkernel</maketarget> <makevar>KERNCONFIG</makevar>=<replaceable>MYKERNEL</replaceable></screen>
</step>
<step>
<para>Reboot.</para>
</step>
</procedure>
<note>
<para>If you do not use the <makevar>KERNCONFIG</makevar>
make variable a <filename>GENERIC</filename> kernel will
be built and installed.</para>
</note>
<para>The &man.make.1; process will have built two kernels.
<filename>/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/<replaceable>MYKERNEL</replaceable>/kernel</filename>
and
<filename>/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/<replaceable>MYKERNEL</replaceable>/kernel.debug</filename>.
<filename>kernel</filename> was installed as
<filename>/boot/kernel/kernel</filename>, while
<filename>kernel.debug</filename> can be used as the source
of debugging symbols for &man.kgdb.1;.</para>
<para>To make sure you capture a crash dump, you need edit
<filename>/etc/rc.conf</filename> and set
<literal>dumpdev</literal> to point to your swap partition
(or <literal>AUTO</literal>). This will cause the
&man.rc.8; scripts to use the &man.dumpon.8; command to
enable crash dumps. You can also run &man.dumpon.8;
manually. After a panic, the crash dump can be recovered
using &man.savecore.8;; if <literal>dumpdev</literal> is set
in <filename>/etc/rc.conf</filename>, the &man.rc.8; scripts
will run &man.savecore.8; automatically and put the crash
dump in <filename class="directory">/var/crash</filename>.</para>
<note>
<para>&os; crash dumps are usually the same size as the
physical RAM size of your machine. That is, if you have
512 MB of RAM, you will get a 512 MB crash dump.
Therefore you must make sure there is enough space in
<filename class="directory">/var/crash</filename> to hold the dump.
Alternatively, you run &man.savecore.8; manually and have
it recover the crash dump to another directory where you
have more room. It is possible to limit the size of the
crash dump by using <literal>options
MAXMEM=<replaceable>N</replaceable></literal> where
<replaceable>N</replaceable> is the size of kernel's
memory usage in KBs. For example, if you have 1 GB
of RAM, you can limit the kernel's memory usage to
128 MB by this way, so that your crash dump size will
be 128 MB instead of 1 GB.</para>
</note>
<para>Once you have recovered the crash dump, you can get a
stack trace with &man.kgdb.1; as follows:</para>
<screen>&prompt.user; <userinput><command>kgdb</command> <filename>/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/<replaceable>MYKERNEL</replaceable>/kernel.debug</filename> <filename class="directory">/var/crash/<replaceable>vmcore.0</replaceable></filename></userinput>
<prompt>(kgdb)</prompt> <userinput>backtrace</userinput></screen>
<para>Note that there may be several screens worth of
information; ideally you should use &man.script.1; to
capture all of them. Using the unstripped kernel image with
all the debug symbols should show the exact line of kernel
source code where the panic occurred. Usually you have to
read the stack trace from the bottom up in order to trace
the exact sequence of events that lead to the crash. You
can also use &man.kgdb.1; to print out the contents of
various variables or structures in order to examine the
system state at the time of the crash.</para>
<tip>
<para>Now, if you are really insane and have a second
computer, you can also configure &man.kgdb.1; to do remote
debugging such that you can use &man.kgdb.1; on one system
to debug the kernel on another system, including setting
breakpoints, single-stepping through the kernel code, just
like you can do with a normal user-mode program.</para>
</tip>
<note>
<para>If you have <literal>DDB</literal> enabled and the
kernel drops into the debugger, you can force a panic (and
a crash dump) just by typing <literal>panic</literal> at
the <literal>ddb</literal> prompt. It may stop in the
debugger again during the panic phase. If it does, type
<literal>continue</literal> and it will finish the crash
dump.</para>

<question id="dlsym-failure">
<para>Why has <function>dlsym()</function> stopped working for
ELF executables?</para>
</question>
<answer>
<para>The ELF toolchain does not, by default, make the symbols
defined in an executable visible to the dynamic linker.
Consequently <function>dlsym()</function> searches on
handles obtained from calls to <function>dlopen(NULL,
flags)</function> will fail to find such symbols.</para>
<para>If you want to search, using
<function>dlsym()</function>, for symbols present in the
main executable of a process, you need to link the
executable using the <option>--export-dynamic</option>
option to the ELF linker (&man.ld.1;).</para>

<question id="change-kernel-address-space">
<para>How can I increase or reduce the kernel address space on
i386?</para>
</question>
<answer>
<para>By default, the kernel address space is 1 GB
(2 GB for PAE) for i386. If you run a
network-intensive server (e.g. a large FTP or HTTP server),
or you want to use ZFS, you might find that is not
enough.</para>
<para>Add the following line to your kernel configuration file
to increase available space and rebuild your kernel:</para>
<programlisting>options KVA_PAGES=<replaceable>N</replaceable></programlisting>
<para>To find the correct value of
<replaceable>N</replaceable>, divide the desired address
space size (in megabytes) by four. (For example, it is
<literal>512</literal> for 2 GB.)</para>
