I got the same error at 0x16 using an Adaptec 1542A.  When I replaced
the host adapter with a 1542B, the install went without a hitch.  Does
anyone have any ideas on this?  I would like to continue using my

Hi *,

I got pcomm from ref.tfs.com a couple of days ago.  Everything
works fine until I connected to the campus dialer port.

The connection of PC at home to the Unix machines
on campus is pass thru a dialer port provided by the computer center.
I can dial into the dialer port.  However, after choosing
a host from the dialer port by typing hostname, I get no login
prompt.  I have no problem with the kermit comes with 386bsd core
distribution.

Any suggestion/hits?  Thanks in advance!!

If anyone is interested, NeXT's system is basically this: Every program is an
directory. (directory for unix side, and an application for GUI) This directory
has binary program and resources. Resources are graphics and UI's in NIB
(NeXT Interface Builder) files as well as files containing texts that program
prints. Resoures are put into subdirectories, one for each language. 
To localize an program for an new language you just copy files to an new
directory, take text editor and write new texts, take IB and edit user
interfaces to have suitable texts, and that's it. 

Problem is that programs have to be started through windowing system. Therefore
this schema doesn't suit for Linux, even though it could be possible to make
an special window manager for X+Linux to support full localization, but this
would make Linux incompatible.

While both X and Windows support drawing lines and arcs, Microsoft would be
foolish to pick the X rules for arcs (*very* hard to do both right and fast), 
and I doubt they share the same rules for wide lines (I think X's wide line
rules are Ok).

A graphics engine tuned to X would most likely omit the many Windows drawing
modes that X doesn't support (say, GXadd [I don't know what Windows calls it,
I'm an X guy]).

However I can't think of any way in which the 4000/W32 could be bad for X
that the S3 wasn't.  (it could include more windows stuff 'tho)  Except for
devoting a larger part of the chip for stuff useless to X...

Of corse alot of what speed up Windows speeds up X.  Copy bitmap across the
planes is just X's CopyPlane.  Accel'ed lines can be used for X's 0-width 
lines.  Stuff to speed up Windows text should speed up text for any 8-bit
X fonts (and there are few 16-bit X fonts).  And of corse you could make an
X extention to use the Windows style raster rules...

Here at ISU, we use hesiod for Project Vincent, which is simular to
Project Athena.  One big difference is that the MIT Hesiod information
databases differ from what DECathena uses.  One big difference is in the
service hesiod area:


MIT hesiod:
	% hesinfo telnet service
	telnet 23 tcp

DECathena hesiod:
	% hesinfo telnet services
	telnet 23/tcp
	% hesinfo 23/tcp services
	telnet 23/tcp
	% hesinfo 23 services
	telnet 23/tcp

This makes name lookup simple -- juse pretend whatever is returned is
from a file and go.  ;)

The revelent files are on tbird.cc.iastate.edu:/pub/386bsd/libc-hesiod.
Get them all, and read the README there for installation info.

is at the cost of lousy transmit speed. I am working on a composite of my

  I ran across similar problems with the wd0 driver when I was working on

since the card is then completely reset.
  I am going to be looking into this problem for the Ultrastor, and 
wouldn't be surprised to find a similar solution for your problem as well.

  I also found that the sdboot/bootsd pair from ref.tfs.com work pretty
well.  I haven't had any problems with them since I installed them.  They
will boot a wd0 card very nicely as well as booting SCSI cards.  They are
my choice for booting whwnever anyone has a boot problem.

I cross-compiled libc with GCC 2.3.2 from another machine, or at least
everything but ldexp.o (which tickles a bug), and successfully built
GCC 2.3.3.  Rebuilding the library seems to have fixed the problem with
the floating point stack overflowing, so I suspect it was probably just
a bug in GCC 1.39 which caused it initially.

If there is interest, I will make binaries of libc and GCC available
for FTP.  Note that GCC 2.3.3 has at least one bug which I know of--the
one which causes ldexp.c to not compile.

I sent email to the original poster [ggm@brolga.cc.uq.oz.au].  I am 
currently doing it also, as matter of fact i'll have a built kernel
by tonight i think (i'm doing this at home on my free time).  It
is pretty straight forward, mbuf's are the most significant difference
between 4.3 and net2 that i can see (as far as compilation goes), this 
only shows up in a couple files.  

Unfortunantly, all i have to test with is the loopback until i can 
convince someone at work to let me use a 386, or can scrounge up a
second machine for home.  Oh well, it's not as bad as writting 
X apps on a vt100 8-).

I have done this with out first speaking up in this group because
this is my first attempt at doing anything *serious* in the kernel
networking code, therefore would be inferior to what should be
expected, until i had a chance to see if it actually worked.

I'll be glad to help in any manner that i could be useful.  

BTW - i would be glad to hear/read about the differences between 4.3 
networking and net2, other than a few structure changes, etc.

I just recently installed 386BSD v0.1 in my 486 system.  After a bit of
confusion about how to use the 57 bin01 segments, I got it to the point
where it appears to boot rather cleanly.  However, I have a few problems
that I do not seem to be able to resolve.

1) I can't seem to figure out how to add new users.  All of my previous
experince is with Sun/OS versions 4.0.3 and 4.1.1, both of which keep
the encrypted passwords in the /etc/passwd file.  When I try to add a
new user to 386BSDs /etc/passwd file, leaving the password field empty,
the login program *still* asks for a password when I login.  HELP!

2) I've got a 3COM 3C503 ethernet board installed, and 386BSD is seeing
it.  Now I want to be able to make 386BSD talk to the other machines on
our network (a Solbourne, 3 SUNs, a RS/6000 and a Silicon Graphics
IRIS).  I've gotten it configured to the point that I can do "loopback"
testing - 386BSD will let me log in to my own box via FTP and TELNET,
and I can ping my own box, but none of the other systems (which all work
just fine with each other) will respond.  Once again, HELP!

3) I would like to know if there exists a driver for 386BSD to worth
with the 3COM 3C505 ethernet board.  I currently have both the 3C503 and
3C505 installed in my machine because I need the 3C505 for some of my
DOS based network applications (and they don't have drivers for the
3C503)!

I've been running an IRC server and ircII client for several months

I've been trying to get aliases to work properly with the distributed
sendmail, but I've run into several problems.

First of all, my alias file is pretty big (300+ aliases), it works great
on all of the other platforms here (SUN, IBM, HP, SGI), but not on 386BSD.
When I do a 'sendmail -bi' to initialize the alias dbase, sendmail stops
with a segmentation fault.  I ran sendmail with gdb and found that it was
breaking in some of the btree code (from libc).

Ok, no problem get the latest version of the db code and rebuild libc,
right?  Unfortunately no, the latest version of the db code (from
okeefe.cs.berkeley.edu) doesn't have R_PUT and a couple of other things
that the distribution sendmail needs.

So I now have a slight broken sendmail, an old db library and the new db
library.  Does anyone have any of the following:

  1) working sendmail (patches or full source would be great)
  2) the latest source for sendmail
  3) working db routines (patches or source)
  4) any other useful information...

  Didn't I see something last week (or the week before) about a problem with
trying to access the ne-2000 with trailers enabled that had a similar
symptom?  Something about addressing beyond the end of the ring buffer??  
Maybe?  I don't have an NE-2000, so I didn't pay real close attention.
