I have installed TGV's Kerberos, and have it interacting with FTP Software's
PC/TCP, and Athena's SunOS version.  They work well, as expected.  I guess
turning off DECnet is the next step...  Anyway, I'm interested in this thread,

Distribution: world
Organization: The Internet

Hello INFO-VAXERS

I have been given a project to write a suite of programs that check the 
integrity of our VAX systems. This involves accessing many different files,
for example sysuaf, the file where the SYSGEN parameters are stored and probably
lots more that I  don't know of yet !

So what I wondering is there anywhere that I can obtain the Record structure
of these files from, at first I am particullary interested in the sysuaf. ?

I have already done an ANALYZE/RMS/FDL SYSUAF to get some information on
this file and also use the below piece of macro to obtain a symbol table

	.TITLE UAFDEF
	.LIBRARY	"SYS$LIBRARY:LIB
	$UAFDEF	GLOBAL
	.END

This seemed to give a lot more information on the fields within a sysuaf record
but no idea on its structure.

I have heard of the $GETUAI system service, but I believe this will not suffice
as I will have to traverse the SYSUAF.

I would appreciate any help you could give me or at least where to start looking


Thanks in advance.

Safer and easier to just lock the pages in physical memory. VMS has to do this
everytime there is a dma transfer from a device. See the documentation on

This is right, as long as the router does only routing. However, if you can
enable him to BRIDGE some ethernet protocol types, it even works over multiple
LAN segments.

SET TRANSPORT string%  causes VMS Mail to pass control to a shareable image in 
SYS$LIBRARY named STRING_MAILSHR as soon as you enter the To: address and press 
<RETURN>, if you've entered an address that begins with STRING%.  This shareable 
image takes the place of the normal MAILSHR image and processes the To: address, 
just as MAILSHR normally does.  It sets up whatever transfer agent the address 
requires.  - At least that's my limited impression of how it works.  I'm sure 
there are details that this explanation glosses over.

Hi,

Did anybody see the following problem before:

While booting a VAX in a cluster you see sometimes a problem in loading
a license. You get the error: ".. attempted usage exceeds license limits
.." while all the licenses in the license database are okay, that means
right model, type and number of units. You can often solve the problem
by modifying the number of units, or /include=<node_name> and after some
reboots you don't see the problem again. I've seen this problem often
with DVNETEND and VAXCLUSTER licenses.

Hi,

One of my users called to complain that all of his DECterm windows
disappeared again, for the third time today.  The final status for
the DECW$TE_nn process when this happens is ACCVIO.  Usually, but
not always, one or more of the processes which were talking through
that DECterm control process terminate with %RMS-F-RER, file read error.

Has anyone seen this before?  Can anyone suggest a way to avoid it?

We're running VMS 5.4-2 with DECW/Motif 1.0.  I've seen similar problems
with the DECW$TE_nn process with the old DECwindows on our workstations,
but that usually happens when the process has been running for many
weeks and has lost all of its memory due to a memory leak.  This has
been happening  after only a few minutes or hours of operation with
about 8 DECterms.

Please help,
Thanks,

Ari

Some weeks ago someone posted a message that they'd got a VAXstation
with a bizarre output from show mem. I now have a similar problem and
the VAXstation crashes from time to time. SHOW MEM says that the
machine has 512MB when there are only 24MB physically present. I
called an engineer who says that there are no problems with the
hardware and if I do a minimal startup SHOW MEM gives a correct
result.

This started happenening when I went to VMS 5.5-1 and installed UCX
2.0 and Posix 1.1 during the same weekend. I suspect that it might be
the Posix but that could be prejudice on my part. I've removed the
posix$startup line from systartup_v5.com.

Any ideas, anyone?

I'm talking to DEC about getting a SCSI adaptor for my VS 3200 so that I
can buy SCSI HDs cheap.  Ive been given a price quote of $6856.00 for a 381 MB
HD with external chassis, adaptor, & cables  w/o going SCSI.  This is $4800.00 
after our discount.  There has got to be a way to beat this price.

If anyone could tell me where to buy 3rd party SCSI and SCSI HDs for a 
VS 3200, I would greatly appreciate it.

Interesting. Perhaps you could bribe someone at AT&T's Unix Systems
Labs to sneak it into SVR? ... then it might really take off ! :-)

I assume you are referring to access to individual files, and not a complete
filesystem ?

I remember what an old RSTS turned VMS programmer once told me : RMS stands
for 'R'ough, 'M'ean, and 'S'low ! :-)
