.Ss "What is NetBSD?"
|
|
.
|
|
The
|
|
.Nx
|
|
Operating System is a fully functional UN*X-like system
|
|
derived from the Berkeley Networking Release 2 (Net/2), 4.4BSD-Lite,
|
|
and 4.4BSD-Lite2 sources.
|
|
.Nx
|
|
runs on many architectures and is
|
|
being ported to more.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Nx
|
|
is a creation of the members of the Internet community.
|
|
Without the unique cooperation and coordination the net makes
|
|
possible, it's likely that this release wouldn't have come about.
|
|
.if \n[_FOR_RELEASE] \{\
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Nx \*V
|
|
release is a landmark. Building upon the successful
|
|
.Nx
|
|
1.2 release, we have provided numerous and significant
|
|
functional enhancements, including support for many new devices,
|
|
integration of many bug fixes, new and updated kernel subsystems, and
|
|
many userland enhancements. The results of these improvements is a
|
|
stable operating system fit for production use that rivals most
|
|
commercially available systems.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
It is impossible to summarize the 18 months of development that went
|
|
into the
|
|
.Nx \*V
|
|
release. Some of the significant changes include:
|
|
.Bl -bullet
|
|
.It
|
|
Support for machine independent device drivers has been
|
|
radically improved with the addition of the "bus.h" interface,
|
|
providing a high quality abstraction for machine and
|
|
architecture independent device access.
|
|
.It
|
|
The bus_dma interface has also been integrated, providing a
|
|
machine-independent abstraction for DMA mapping. This permits many
|
|
good things, including (among many) clean multi-platform
|
|
bounce buffer support.
|
|
.It
|
|
Framework support for ISA "Plug and Play" has been added, as
|
|
well as support for numerous "Plug and Play" devices.
|
|
.It
|
|
APM support has been added to NetBSD/i386.
|
|
.It
|
|
An initial cut of multi-platform PCMCIA support has been added.
|
|
.It
|
|
Support for ATAPI devices (initially just ATAPI CD-ROM drives)
|
|
has been added.
|
|
.It
|
|
Support for Sun 3/80s (sun3x architecture) has been added.
|
|
.It
|
|
Support for R4000 DECstations has been added.
|
|
.It
|
|
Integration/merger of 4.4BSD Lite-2 sources into userland
|
|
programs has nearly been completed.
|
|
.It
|
|
Most of userland now compiles with high levels of gcc warnings
|
|
turned on, which has lead to the discovery and elimination of
|
|
many bugs.
|
|
.It
|
|
The i386 boot blocks have been completely replaced with a new,
|
|
libsa based two stage boot system. This has permitted
|
|
integration of compressed boot support (see below).
|
|
.It
|
|
Many ports now support booting of compressed kernels, and
|
|
feature new "Single Floppy" install systems that boot
|
|
compressed install kernels and ramdisks. We intend to do
|
|
substantial work on improving ease of installation in the
|
|
future.
|
|
.It
|
|
"ypserv" has been added, thus completing our support for the
|
|
"yp" network information system suite.
|
|
.It
|
|
Support for the Linux "ext2fs" filesystem and for FAT32 "msdosfs"
|
|
filesystems has been added.
|
|
.It
|
|
TCP now has a SYN "compressed state engine" which provides
|
|
increased robustness under high levels of received SYNs (as in
|
|
the case of "SYN flood" attacks.) (Much of this code was
|
|
derived from sources provided by BSDI.)
|
|
.It
|
|
An initial implementation of Path MTU discovery has been
|
|
integrated (though it is not turned on by default).
|
|
.It
|
|
An initial kernel based random number generator pseudodevice has
|
|
been added.
|
|
.It
|
|
Several major fixes have been integrated for the VM subsystem,
|
|
including the fix of a notorious VM leak, improved
|
|
synchronization between mmap()ed and open()ed files, and
|
|
massively improved performance in low real memory conditions.
|
|
.It
|
|
A new swap subsystem has radically improved configuration and
|
|
management of swap devices and adds swapping to files.
|
|
.It
|
|
Userland ntp support, including xntpd, has been integrated.
|
|
.It
|
|
The audio subsystems have been substantially debugged and
|
|
improved, and now offer substantial emulation of the OSS audio
|
|
interface, thus providing the ability to cleanly run emulated
|
|
Linux and FreeBSD versions of sound intensive programs.
|
|
.It
|
|
A "packages" system has been adapted from FreeBSD and will
|
|
provide binary package installations for third party
|
|
applications.
|
|
.It
|
|
The XFree86 X source tree has been made a supported part of
|
|
the
|
|
.Nx
|
|
distribution, and X servers (if built for this
|
|
port), libraries and utilities are now shipped with our releases.
|
|
.It
|
|
The ftp(1) program has been made astoundingly overfunctional.
|
|
It supports command line editing, tab completion, status bars,
|
|
automatic download of URLs specified on the command line,
|
|
firewall support and many other features.
|
|
.It
|
|
All ports now use "new" config. Old config has been laid to rest.
|
|
.It
|
|
The ARP subsystem and API has been rewritten to make it less
|
|
ethernet-centric.
|
|
.It
|
|
A new if_media subsystem has been added which allows network
|
|
interfaces to be configured using media type names rather than
|
|
device-specific mode bits.
|
|
.It
|
|
Many kernel interface manual pages have been added to manual
|
|
section 9.
|
|
.It
|
|
Several ports support much more hardware.
|
|
.It
|
|
Many updates to bring
|
|
.Nx
|
|
closer to standards compliance.
|
|
.It
|
|
Most third party packages have been updated to the latest stable
|
|
release.
|
|
.El
|
|
As has been noted, there have also been innumerable bug fixes.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Kernel interfaces have continued to be refined, and more subsystems
|
|
and device drivers are shared among the different ports. You can look
|
|
for this trend to continue.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Nx \*V also includes some refinement to the
|
|
.Nx
|
|
binary emulation
|
|
system (which includes FreeBSD, HP-UX, iBCS2, Linux, OSF/1, SunOS, SVR4,
|
|
Solaris and Ultrix compatibility), bringing
|
|
.Nx
|
|
closer to the goal of
|
|
making the emulation as accurate as possible.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
In the near future, we hope to integrate a fully rewritten Virtual
|
|
Memory subsystem, kernel threads, and SMP support.

.
|
|
The

|
Foundation has been incorporated as a non-profit
|
|
organization. Its purpose is to encourage, foster and promote the
|
|
free exchange of computer software, namely the
|
|
.Nx
|
|
Operating
|
|
System. The foundation will allow for many things to be handled more
|
|
smoothly than could be done with our previous informal organization.
|
|
In particular, it provides the framework to deal with other parties
|
|
that wish to become involved in the
|
|
.Nx
|
|
Project.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Nx
|
|
Foundation will help improve the quality of
|
|
.Nx
|
|
by:
|
|
.Bl -bullet
|
|
.It
|
|
providing better organization to keep track of development
|
|
efforts, including co-ordination with groups working in
|
|
related fields.
|
|
.It
|

providing a framework to receive donations of goods and
|

services and to own the resources necessary to run the

|
providing a better position from which to undertake

promotional activities.

.It
|
|
periodically organizing workshops for developers and other
|
|
interested people to discuss ongoing work.
|
|
.El
|
|
We hope to have regular releases of the full binary and source trees,
|
|
but these are difficult to coordinate, especially with all of the
|
|
architectures which we now support!
|
|
.Pp
|
|
We hope to support even
|
|
.Em more
|
|
hardware in the future, and we have a
|
|
rather large number of other ideas about what can be done to improve
|
|
.Nx .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
We intend to continue our current practice of making the
|
|
NetBSD-current development source available on a daily basis.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
We intend to integrate free, positive changes from whatever sources
|
|
will provide them, providing that they are well thought-out and
|
|
increase the usability of the system.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Above all, we hope to create a stable and accessible system, and to be
|
|
responsive to the needs and desires of
|
|
.Nx
|
|
users, because it is for
|
|
and because of them that

exists.

Most of the above source sets are located in the
|
|
.Pa source/sets
|
|
subdirectory of the distribution tree. The secrsrc.tgz set is
|
|
contained in the
|
|
.Pa source/security
|
|
subdirectory. This set, which is
|
|
available only to users in the United States and Canada, contains the
|
|
sources normally found in
|
|
.Pa /usr/src/domestic

other cryptographic security related software. (Remember, because of
|
|
United States law, it may not be legal to distribute this set to
|

locations outside of the United States and Canada.)
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The source sets are distributed as compressed tar files. They may be
|
|
unpacked into
|

.Pa /usr/src
|
|
with the command:

.No The Pa sets/Split/
|
|
.No and Pa security/Split/

versions of the source sets for those users who need to load the
|
|
source sets from floppy or otherwise need a split distribution. The
|
|
split sets are are named "set_name.xx" where "set_name" is the
|
|
distribution set name, and "xx" is the sequence number of the file,
|
|
starting with "aa" for the first file in the distribution set, then
|
|
"ab" for the next, and so on. All of these files except the last one
|
|
of each set should be exactly 240,640 bytes long. (The last file is
|
|
just long enough to contain the remainder of the data for that
|
|
distribution set.)
|
|
.Pp
|

|
.Ic cat No as follows:
|
|
.D1 Ic "cat set_name.?? | gunzip | (cd /; tar xpf - )

|
.Pp
|
|
In each of the source distribution set directories, there is a file
|
|
named
|
|
.Pa CKSUMS
|
|
which contains the checksums of the files in that
|
|
directory, as generated by the
|
|
.Xr cksum 1
|
|
utility. You can use cksum to
|
|
check the integrity of the archives, if you suspect that one of the
|
|
files is corrupt and have access to a cksum binary. Checksums based on
|
|
other algorithms may also be present \*- see the

|
|
All swap partitions are now configured by the swapctl(8)

partition. Because of this, all swap partitions
|
|
.No must be listed in Pa /etc/fstab .

|
Many users of previous releases relied on the kernel

configuring a "default" swap partition and did not list any swap space in

Common symptoms of of this problem include machine crashes
|
|
during builds, and similar memory intensive activities.
|
|
.It Fix
|
|
The most common position for a swap partition is the `b'
|
|
partition of the drive the root file system is on. For
|
|
diskless systems, check the new swapctl(8) manual for more
|
|
detail on how this is done. Example fstab entries:

NFS now uses reserved ports

|
.It Description
|
|
Earlier versions of
|
|
.Nx
|
|
did not use a reserved (\*(<= 1023)
|
|
port when making NFS client requests. When acting as a server
|
|
NetBSD now requires reserved ports by default.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Old clients mounting a new server will receive a 'permission
|
|
denied' response when the directory is accessed. New clients
|
|
should work fine with old servers.
|
|
.It Fix
|
|
Add '-P' to the mount options in the old client's
|
|
.Pa /etc/fstab ,
|
|
or (less preferred), add
|
|
.Li \&-noresvport,noresvmnt
|
|
to the options on the new server's
|
|
.Pa /etc/exports .

NFS daemons and other programs in /sbin moved
|
|
.
|
|
.Bl -tag -width 3n
|
|
.It Description
|
|
The NFS daemons (nfsd, nfsiod, mountd) have been moved from
|
|
the
|
|
.Pa /sbin
|
|
to the
|
|
.Pa /usr/sbin directory .
|
|
When new binaries are
|
|
loaded over old ones during upgrade, most programs get
|
|
overlaid and replaced, but unless these binaries are
|
|
explicitly removed they will not disappear. The installation
|
|
subsystems on some
|
|
.Nx
|
|
architectures will not properly
|
|
remove these binaries.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Due to changes in the NFS subsystem, the old NFS daemon
|
|
binaries will not work correctly, and will cause serious
|
|
problems. Unfortunately, the default startup script
|
|
.Pq Pa /etc/rc
|
|
will run the old binaries in
|
|
.Pa /sbin
|
|
if they are present instead of the new ones in
|
|
.Pa /usr/sbin .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Some other programs (dumpfs, dumplfs and quotacheck) have also
|
|
been moved from
|
|
.Pa /sbin
|
|
to
|
|
.Pa /usr/sbin ,
|
|
and old versions may be
|
|
left behind by accident. They, too, may cause difficulties.
|
|
.It Fix
|
|
Remove the old daemon binaries
|
|
.Pp Pa (/sbin/nfsiod ,
|
|
.Pa /sbin/nfsd ,
|
|
.Pa /sbin/mountd ,
|

.Pq etc.

after your upgrade has finished. You may
|
|
wish to do an
|
|
.D1 Ic "ls -lt /sbin | more
|
|
to help determine which
|
|
binaries were not replaced/removed during your upgrade.

|
|
.Pp
|
|
Documentation is available if you first install the manual
|
|
distribution set. Traditionally, the
|
|
.Dq man pages
|
|
(documentation) are denoted by
|
|
.Dq Li name(section) .
|
|
Some examples of this are

|
|
and
|
|
.It
|
|
.Xr passwd 5 .
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The section numbers group the topics into several categories, but three
|
|
are of primary interest: user commands are in section 1, file formats
|
|
are in section 5, and administrative information is in section 8.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.No The Em man
|
|
command is used to view the documentation on a topic, and is
|
|
started by entering
|
|
.Ic man Op Ar section
|
|
.Ar topic .
|
|
The brackets
|
|
.Op \&
|
|
around the
|
|
section should not be entered, but rather indicate that the section is
|
|
optional. If you don't ask for a particular section, the topic with the
|
|
lowest numbered section name will be displayed. For instance, after
|
|
logging in, enter
|
|
.D1 Ic "man passwd
|
|
to read the documentation for
|
|
.Xr passwd 1 .
|
|
To view the documentation for
|
|
.Xr passwd 5 m
|
|
enter
|
|
.D1 Ic man 5 passwd
|
|
instead.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If you are unsure of what man page you are looking for, enter
|
|
.Ic apropos Ar subject-word

To report bugs, use the

.Xr send-pr 1
|
|
command shipped with
|
|
.Nx ,
|

and fill in as much information about the problem as you can. Good

bug reports include lots of details. Additionally, bug reports can

be sent by mail to:

|
.Mt netbsd-bugs@NetBSD.ORG .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Use of
|
|
.Xr send-pr 1
|
|
is encouraged, however, because bugs reported with it
|
|
are entered into the
|
|
.Nx
|
|
bugs database, and thus can't slip through
|
|
the cracks.

|
.Pp
|
|
There are also port-specific mailing lists, to discuss aspects of
|
|
each port of
|
|
.Nx .
|
|
Use majordomo to find their addresses. If
|
|
you're interested in doing a serious amount of work on a specific
|
|
port, you probably should contact the "owner" of that port (listed

|
below).

As a favor, please avoid mailing huge documents or files to these
|
|
mailing lists. Instead, put the material you would have sent up
|
|
for FTP somewhere, then mail the appropriate list about it, or, if
|
|
you'd rather not do that, mail the list saying you'll send the data
