As luck would have it I solved the "unsuccessful login" problem minutes
after I posted my last article on the subject!

The solution is that the routine "authenticate_user" is the one that
writes to "fail_count" in /etc/auth. So you don't have to actually
attempt to login. The message "There have been xxx unsuccessful login
attempts on your account" should really read "There have been xxx
unsuccessful attempts to call authenticate_user for your account".
So, where was this routine being called? Well ... I am using a kerberized
version of "xdm" (so that the 30 NCD Xterms connected to my DECstation
5000/200 can login; it has to be kerberized since I'm running ENHANCED
security; Xprompter doesn't support a chooser mechanism or any decent
authorization scheme (e.g., MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1)), and it turns out that
if a user enters a null username (i.e., just presses <CR>) then xdm
appears to use "root" instead (despite the fact that the code appears
to use "Nobody" ... I will have to investigate further).

Sorry to have wasted so much bandwidth on this topic, although it does
point out a slight design problem with ULTRIX: it would be easy for a
user to write a program to call "authenticate_user" and generate an
arbitrary number of "unsuccessful login attempts" for an arbitrary user.
On the plus side, ULTRIX at least tells you that someone appears to be
trying to guess your password. On the minus side, you can waste a lot of
time trying to track it down, and since "auditd" does not appear to
audit calls to "authenticate_user", it is difficult to work out
who is doing it.

ccr realy suxes. It does not allow break out when you use monitor port
and so I find to a real pain.
	It does normally work though so I think you must have some problems
with you configuration. 
	Normally after the ccr: Remote console reserved message you should
press return and get a # prompt. Then enter you password for the network 
access.

Dear all,

I am planning on getting a Exabyte 8500 soon and decided to call
DEC to ask them about the 8500 and how they support it.  Well,
guess what, it seems that DEC does not fully support it.  According
to them you can only write up to 2Gig of information on the
non-rewind version [rewind I bet also] of their tape drives.  I did
ask them why they do not support more [since the 8500 are out and
they *SELL* such products] and they said they do not know why.
Well, I am kind of upset and would like to ask if anyone has a
solution for such a problem.  How can you take advantage of a 8500
when DEC won't even write up to half of the tape.

Subject: Comments/questions about ULTRIX DECwindows/Motif Version 1.1.3
Organization: MPR Teltech Ltd., Burnaby, BC, Canada.
Distribution: comp
Date: 3 Sep 92 11:44:51


I've recently started using DECwindows/Motif V1.1.3. I have a couple
of comments and questions.

1. Unless I'm doing something wrong, dxterm seems to have problems
with -x-y geometry specifications. (+x+y works okay.) I tried the
following command:

% dxterm -ls -geometry 80x25-0-0

The command creates a dxterm, but it's in the upper left corner.
Other -x-y specifications create other strange effects. This works fine
for xterm, so I think I'm using the numbers correctly. Am I correct or
is there a way around this problem?

2. If you use the Save Options command off dxterm, defaults.DECterm
ends up with a line containing the following:

DXterm.geometry:

When you try to startup a dxterm with this line in defaults.DECterm,
you get the following:

X Toolkit Warning: Shell widget "dxterm" has an invalid geometry specification:
"LL"

3. dxsession starts up Mwm without stdout. This creates problems when
you try to start applications that issue messages (like dxterm when
the above bogus geometry specification is in defaults.DECterm). In the
case of dxterm, you get a process, but no window. Other applications
just die. I got around the problem by putting the following line in
.Xdefaults:

Dxsession.windowManagerName: /usr/bin/mwm > & /dev/console

Now applications startup and messages end on the console the way they
used to.

4. It would be really nice if dxterm (and dxclock) used .Xdefaults
like other X applications. I usually end up copying defaults.DECterm
or .DXclock into .Xdefaults. Anyone know of a better way to do this?

Thanks.

Is it possible to retrieve single files from a dump tape ?
I have a tape created once on an older Ultrix Microvax II (TK50)

and access this file by some means to read the directory structure and retrieve
certain files.

Is that possible?

Our current news server, a Sun 690MP system, is not performing
satisfactorily as both a general use timesharing system and as our campus
news server (we use nntp and c-news).  Is anyone using a DECstation
5000/200 (or 240 for that matter) as a news server?  We have about 7 or 8
sites off campus that we have bi-directional feeds with, and we typically
have 5-20 nntpd daemons running for people on campus reading news.  The
people reading news are using trn, xrn or nn on Unix systems, some Mac
newsreader I can't remember the name of, and trumpet on PCs. 

I'd be interested to hear any reports of using a DECstation as a news
server, as well as any problems compiling the software listed above.

We have to move news somewhere other than the 690 as the complaints from
both the 690 users and the people reading news are getting very loud.

Hello,

My question is what options can I give to dump to make it estimate

1.85 tapes for approx. 445MB on a 1.2GB tape doesn't sound right

There is no problem with the dump, /usr and more fits on 1 tape but
I would like to see correct tape estimates.

Hi.

I just came into possession of a DecStation 3100 with 24 megs of 
RAM and a 49 meg SCSI hard drive.

I would like to use it as an X-terminal -- without having it
remote boot.  (We don't have the disk space on another drive
for it).  It would be able to mount all the other needed stuff
from another DecStation 3100, 5000,etc.

Perhaps by setting up the 49 meg drive as a root and swap 
partition?

Anyone else had experience with this?

Thanks,

[ The customer, Rick Pim at Queen's University, Kingston, asks about
  setting an unsupported DMS configuration. ]

My experience in looking at 10 GB of I/O traces (collected on a VAX
8800 running ULTRIX V3.x - V4.2) suggests that the root file system
isn't that interesting once the system is up and running.  Well, it
isn't interesting if you move /tmp to it's own file system.  There
is perhaps your key to running a supported configuration and using
the local for disk for the things that will likely be busy:

On a DMS server /usr is exported from one of the environment areas;
/dlenv?.  If you have lots of clients you can have many of them to
help spread the I/O load around.  Root and /var are exported from the
client areas; /dlclient?.  Each client will have a tree under this
directory with all the read/write stuff on it.  Once again you can
have multiple client areas to spread the I/O load and space needs
around.

Go ahead and setup the server in a supported configuration.  Then
move /tmp and /var/tmp to their own local file systems.  I have a
hard time imagineing that this won't continue to be a supported
configuration.  Consult the CSC to make sure.  If they say it
isn't start working up the CSC management chain to find out why.

I think the maybe the simplest fix (for me at least) is to alias man in

alias man 'man \!^ | less'

That does it more me and lets other users alone (or fixes the problem if

My understanding is that the best way to describe the state is
"in transit" between engineering and the group that build and
distributes kits.  Another translation is "real soon".

>Has it been released for VAX?

I'd guess so.  This release is for both VAX and MIPS systems.

>I just got version 4.2C. How is that different from 4.3?

Well, V4.3 has:

	300 bug fixes
	I/O performance enhancements.
	Support for greater than 64 file descriptors.
	The SCSI CAM driver is bundled (a feature of V4.2C)
	Motif 1.1.3 (a feature of V4.2C)
	DECthreads
	Integration of existing patches
	Integration of security patches (a feature of V4.2C)
	Upgrade installation

   New device support

	TLZ06
	RZ24L

   Other new devices may have partial or unqualified support.

	CITCA
	RZ26
	RA73
	RZ857
	(and a tape drive, I'm not sure is announced yet.)

	The SCSI devices will require the CAM driver.
