you can't using the getty that was supplied with 386bsd 0.1.

the problem with the getty supplied is that it uses the old v7 tty 
interface (struct sgttyb). but just before it exec's a login it sets
"defaults" using the newer termios-functions. thus, you never get any-
thing else than 7e1!

i've hacked getty to use termios instead of sgttyb, but not all of the
things that can be configured using gettytab have been coded in getty yet.
the main problem with that is that there are some values in the sgttyb
structure which can't be converted that easily.

actually i think the best way would be to hack or port a system v-getty
clone to 386bsd instead of using the kind of outdated gettytab file,
unless you add a lot of new parameters to gettytab. i haven't done either,
but if anyone wants/needs a getty desperately that's able to set
the line to 8n1, 7e1, by gettytab configuration flags i could mail it.

but beware: this is currently a hack that works for me, but the work
is still far from being finished.

so long,

With respect to just the patches directly related to kernel

patch00018 select()
patch00019 slip
patch00045 silo overflow
patch00001 cgd makefile
patch00002 bufpage
patch00009 mbuf

I did post a fix for patch00019 a few weeks ago, but it only affects
the performance of slip.  If you aren't running slip you can ignore
it.

After appplying the following ten I've seen more frequent kernel
panics, but none of the code in the patches themselves look suspect.

Does anyone have any information on problems with these patches?

patch00007 filesystem performance

Subject: NFS permission problems...
Organization: Compaq Computer Corp.
Date: Thu, 19 Nov 1992 21:25:08 GMT

Scenario:

386BSD server, 386BSD client.

386BSD running version 0.1 with latest patch kit.

Problem:

client mounts /home on server to /mnt on client, rw.

All directories in /home on server, including /home
are mode 755, all files are mode 644.

All users in /home are in the same group in /etc/group.

Both client and server have the same /etc/passwd and /etc/group entries
for users.

/etc/exports on server has:

/home

On client, cd into /mnt/user_home_directory (not owned by user executing
commands).  ls works ok, cd works ok.

Try to cat or more a file, get the following error:

command_name: Permission denied.

On server, notice that one of the nfsd daemons is now owned by the
user on the client side that tried to access a file in
/home/user_home_directory.  I don't know if this is significant or not.

On client, cd into /home/my_own_home_directory.
ls works ok, cd works ok.  cat or more a file, everything is fine.

We cannot access files other than the ones we own even if the permissions
are set to 666 on the files.  We always get Permission denied.

We also see this problem if we have a Sun Sparc machine running SunOS 4.1.X
as the client and a 386BSD configured as above as the server.  Running
the Sun as the server and the 386BSD box as the client does not exhibit
the problem.

Any help or suggestions regarding this problem would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Would be interesting if someone could run bench mark on the VL version versus

  First I'd like to thank all the people who sent mail about
  my previous posting (cc insanity).
    I disklabel'ed my HDD with 20MB swap partition, newfs new partition,
  and reinstalled 386bsd. Then, voila! it worked!
  Now I am enjoying the 'not-dying' system. (although it's slow still)

  ...But another problem occured during using the 'hanterm', Korean version
  of xterm. It can display Korean texts with MSB set (the same to most
  oriental languages, such as kanji etc), but I couldn't input Korean text.
  Hanterm itself provides Korean input automata, and it should work well
  with X11R5. Another test shows that kernel seems to have trouble with
  multibyte characters.
    % cat
    test
    test (echoed to tty)
    ^D
    % cat
    xxxx(entered korean characters -- it can be seen when typing)
    (but no echo to tty!)
    ^D (this DIDN'T work)
    ^C
    %
  So, what's the problem? If I cannot use hangul in 386bsd, it loses
  practicality...Help!

The 928 is going to be the fastest S3 chipset by a factor of
2x or 3x. Availability of 928 boards is going to be in January.

You can get an 801 today. The cards are barely beginning to hit

card 			chip		xbench (xstones)

F1280	(first model)	S3 911	 	38k
F1280	(most recent)	S3 924		48k
F1280-SA		S3 801		60k+

Sun Workstation  IPC with no GX		24k (for shopping comparisons)

XS3 is known to work with:
	STB WIN/x
	Actix 911 and 924
	S3 clones - don't ask me the models some don't
		    even have a name.
	GA localbus
	Diamond Stealth and will post what someone did
	to make it work and the card is sloow.
 
The highlight of the 801 is that it uses DRAM and supports
upto 2 MB, true color in 640x480, 256 colors at 1280x1024,
and it is capable of mapping 2MB of memory to PC.
Theorically, the 801 should be cheaper than a 924 or 911.

My XS3-0.2a does not work with S3 801. I am working hard to 
wrap it up and I feel that I am close.

S3 next chip is the 928. It is going to be 2 to 3 time faster 
than a 924. Don't know  how hard it will be to port XS3 but
I suspect that after I complete the S3 801 support that it
will be easy to port the 928. The card is expected to be
available in January and probably in February we will have
the server up and running. Projected  cost for the 928 is 
$360 (US).


One last remark, Actix was very instrumental by providing
technical information which enable me to provide XS3.
No other vendor has giving us so quick and strong support.

I am having some difficulty getting my kernel sources into a state
where I can rebuild the kernel.  I installed the source distribution
as normal, and applied the official patches.  Then I tried to install
the patches that came with the X distribution, but they didn't work -
some already seemed to be applied while others just failed.  Does
anyone have any suggestions on this?  Do you, for example, have to
apply the X patches to a completely clean kernel?

If I can get my kernel into a buildable state, and I get time over the
following few months I will be trying to add access control lists to
386BSD.

It's probably better if responses are by e-mail, or there will be a
lot of pointless traffic.  Let me know if you want me to summarise to

I am looking for a kernel that I can FTP that has some of the
extra stuff compiled in.  I'd do it myself, except I don't have
the disk space or memory.  Anyway, I am looking for one that has
both the X stuff and the Soundblaster stuff, and possibly even
the second hard drive "stuff (what a neat word)"  Thanks

The main problem is that log and loged read binary files (.gate
files), and the code that handles byte-swapping for different-endian
architectures doesn't know about intel machines yet; as a result the
code assumes the byte-ordering of a SPARC, which is not what you want.
Search for #ifdef mips in the source files (in particular in the
swap.c file in log/src/) to find the places where byte-swapping
happens, and expand the ifdef's so that the byte's end up the same
way. 

Hope this helps,
