Hello all,
I have two problems with a FreeBSD 2.1 system I am working on at the
moment. I have a bit of general experience with lots of Unixes, but I
am getting stumped. Any help would be appreciated.

Problem 1:
The FreeBSD machine currently has two SCSI HDs in it. One 1 Gb, and
one 4 Gb. The first is being used fine, but setting up the other (big)
one has been really confusing. As it boots up, it says it sees sd1 as
the correct size. So, I try "fdisk -i sd1" and it asks all kinds of
cool questions, then does nothing. When I try "mount /dev/sd1 /mnt" it
says "Incorrect magic number". What am I forgetting or doing
incorrectly?

Problem 2:
I am running a pop server, and it's working fine. What I want is to
also run the pop-pass server, so that the users can change their
passwords from within Eudora, etc. I tried ftp.qualcomm.com for about
4 versions, 2 core dumped and the rest produced 100000000 errors on
compile. Is there a version for FreeBSD out there?

Thanks all,
Hamish
