I use Budtool running on Sun4.1.2 to backup 2 Suns and some NeXT  
machines each night. Budtool uses the dump command on the remote  
machine but uses it's own restore (da_restore) in order to use  
indexing to speed up the restore. It is possible (I've done it) to  
use the standard restore command if you wish. I got some help from  
Budtool to get the backups to work with the NeXT machines. I had to  
make Budtool use the NeXT restore command because the dump format is  
slightly different from the standard. It was easy to do when it was  
explained properly by tech support at Budtool. I've been very pleased  
with the utility and the tech support and would recommend it to  
others. I have no experience with any other backup utility.

Hope this helps.

You are probably linking to the wrong shared library.
Check your LD_LIBRARY_PATH.  Make sure that /usr/lib is ahead of /lib.
/lib can even be removed entirely.

If you aren't careful, you can overlap the swap partition with another.
I know, we did it. No warnings, you just crash when swap overwrites your
partition. You might check to see if that's the problem.

I am not sure whether I am at the right group to ask this question.  If I
am not, please direct me to the right group.  It's such a basic question
that it should be in FAQ somewhere, although I couldn't find it in FAQ in
comp.unix.shell. 

I have Sun Sparc stations running SunOS Release 4.1.1.  They only came with
Bourne and C shells, and I would like to get Korn Shell.  I asked Sun
Support and they told me they don't have it for my version of SunOS and
I'll have to look elsewhere.  

- Does anyone know where I can get/buy Korn Shell for Sun?
- I have seen PDKSH on the net somewhere.  Is it close enough to KSH to
  use?


Thanks a bunch.

Well, I'm afraid that you are wrong in a couple of respects. The Sparc
10 does use SCSI-2, but it is single-ended, _not_ differential. There are
a whole host of problems that can cause unreliability in the bus.

1. Length.
   The bus length is limited to 6ft, by specification. You can count on at
   least 1ft in each box that you are connected to, so this leaves very little
   for inter-connections.

2. Impedance.
   The SCSI standard is not very rigorous about the impedance of cables, which
   means that cables from different vendors can differ substantially in their
   impedance. Try and use cables from the same vendor (Sun or the disk
   manufacturer) if at all possible.

3. Termination.
   A SCSI bus must be correctly terminated for it to function properly. If
   your device is Fast-SCSI as well as the SS10, then you're really trying
   to flog a dead horse unless you use active termination. You'll be ok
   up to a point, but you won't get the most from the peripherals. Do not
   put too many terminators on either. If a device is internally terminated,
   then put it on the end of the bus and do not put a terminator on it.

4. ID.
   This may sound obvious, but check that the IDs have been set correctly.
   Also remember that unless you have customised the kernal, you may have only
   four disks (including the internal one) on the system. If you need more
   than four disks, change the kernal config file and re-build it, or add
   a S-BUS SCSI card.

Hope I've been of some help,
	Robert

A copy of the Product Notes for Online Disk Suite 1.0 dated September 1991
just crossed my desk.

It describes one item of interest, which is how to optimize the performance
of a SCSI or IPI disk by using newfs/tunefs.  It describes setting
maxcontig to 7, and the rotational delay to 0.

I have a few questions about this:
	- Should maxcontig _always_ be set to 7?  Or is that just an
	  example, and the real value depends on the disk?
	- The newfs man page says that the default value for maxcontig is 7
	  when the disk advertises the presence of a buffer.  Therefore, does 
	  this really change anything?
	- Does this all still apply in ODS 1.1?

I'm glad it worked, but it's a mistake.  The 'files' source (for passwd)
means "read /etc/passwd", and the 'compat' source means "read /etc/passwd,
and do something funky with the '+' and '-' entries", so you may end up
reading /etc/passwd (or /etc/group) twice for no good reason.

Subject: Problem w. dial-in modem (ZyXEL)
Organization: University of Heidelberg (Germany)

I'm trying to setup a dial-in with my SS2 (Solaris 1.01 aka SunOS 4.1.2) and
a ZyXEL 1496E (SW Rev. 4.09) without much success. 
Maybe some knowledgeable person could give me the right hint.

What did I do:
Connected the 1496E to ttyb with a 1:1 cable (all 25 pins connected).
Changed S0=2 (for auto-answer) and s38=16 (because my fax is daisy-chained).
Edited gettytab and ttytab, created ttyd1 (see below):

# @(#)gettytab 1.9 89/09/27 SMI; from UCB 5.7 2/16/86
[...]
D38400:sp#38400:ms=crtscts:

# @(#)ttytab 1.6 89/12/18 SMI
[...]
#ttyb	"/usr/etc/getty std.9600"	unknown		off local secure
ttyd1	"/usr/etc/getty D38400"		dialup		on remote

crw--w--w-  1 root     wheel     12,   1 Jan  4 03:42 ttyd1

The SUN is behaving in a very strange way:
I can dial in, the modem goes off-hook, I get a connect and garbage is
displayed on the screen. I'm using Telix with a MS-DOS PC to do these connects.
A ps on the SUN shows that getty invokes a login if you press enough keys or
send enough breaks from the pc. Furthermore login gets terminated correctly
if I hang up or it is timed out, afterwards getty shows up again.

So, what have I missed? Thanks in advance.

	Help!  I am having difficulties building gcc 2.3.3 on a Sun SS10

target "sparc-sun-sysv4".  The following files compile happily:

c-aux-info.c, c-common.c, c-pragma.c, genattr.c, rtl.c, genattr.

	The next file, "tree.c", reveals the problem.  The invocation is:

cc -c  -DIN_GCC -DSVR4  -g     -I. -I. -I. -I./config tree.c

	...and it produces about 20 of these:

	...with line numbers increasing to 15243.

	The assember, "as", is CDS SPARCompilers 2.0.1, September 1992.  The

I'm a little confused about what parameters I should use when dumping to an 2.3
gig Exabyte 8mm tape.  The reason for my confustion is that I have inherited
serveral different dump scripts that each have different values for various
parameters with no explanation of why they were chosen.  What I'm looking for is
getting the most info on the tape without writing past the end.

Here's a what I have: Sun SPARC, Sun OS 4.1.1, the Exabyte is connected on the
SCSI (i.e. I'm not doing remote dumps).

Here are my questions:
1.  What should I specify for:
	blocking factor
	density
	size

    Is it sufficient so that the product of density and size comes out to 2.3
gig?  The blocking factor should be as large as possible, correct?

2. The man page for dump specifies the defaults it will use for different tape
drives.  The question I have is how does it know what type of drive is connected
if I specify my dump device as /dev/nrst0?  I can have either a 1/4" cartridge
or exabyte connected to the scsi bus and each will be nrst0 depending on what is
actually connected at the time.

System: Sun 3/50 running 4.1.1

Today, we installed various kernel patches, rebuilt the kernel, etc.
After backing up vmunix and copying the new one to /, I ran 'ps -a' to
see if anything important was running before I shutdown the system
and restarted it.  Well, 'ps' reported an error involving /dev/mem
(or maybe /dev/kmem...I initially didn't give it a second thought).

When the system came back up, it reported corrupted blocks in the root
filesystem (/dev/sd0a, aka /).  The only problem I recall through
my login session prior to the shutdown was the 'ps' that crapped out.

Could this have somehow corrupted memory (used by the filesystem) and
have got written to disk at shutdown?

The patches we put in were for UFS (-622) and NFS (-173).  So maybe
everything will be ok from now on.  (The decision to install the patches
came from our experiencing corrupted blocks on /usr once we added an NFS
client.)

Any ideas or suggestions?

Subject: isolated YP master
Date: 4 Jan 93 11:30:04 GMT
Organization: marco GmbH, D-8047 Karlsfeld

I'm in train to setup a new SS2 clone "marvin" (SunOS 4.1.2) which
is going to be the only system running in a branch of our company.
Currently it's still connected by standard transceiver to thick
ethernet in our local network (some suns, some pc's, some others).
We're running YP.

For symmetry in generating passwd, group, hosts and other databases
(built from SCCS sources), I want to run "marvin" as YP master server
in its own domain. No problem if connected to ethernet.

If I disconnect the transceiver cable, /etc/rc.boot starts
	ifconfig -ad auto-revarp up
which says "le0: no carrier ... RARP failed". Seems ok.

/etc/rc starts up YP by following sequence:

	dname=`domainname`
	if [ "$dname" -a -d /var/yp ]; then
		echo "NIS domainname is $dname"
		echo -n "starting NIS services:"

		if [ -f /usr/etc/ypserv -a -d /var/yp/$dname ]; then
			ypserv; 	echo -n ' ypserv'
		fi
		if [ -f /etc/security/passwd.adjunct ]; then
			ypbind -s;	echo -n ' ypbind'
		else
			ypbind; 	echo -n ' ypbind'
		fi
		ypwhich >/dev/null 2>&1 # force ypbind to actually bind
		
		if [ -d /var/yp/src ]; then	# master server
			# speedup map transfers
			ypxfrd; 	echo -n ' ypxfrd'
			# distribute passwd changes
			rpc.yppasswdd /var/yp/src/passwd -nogecos -m passwd
					echo -n ' yppasswdd'
		fi
		if [ -f /usr/etc/rpc.ypupdated -a -d /var/yp/$dname ]; then
			rpc.ypupdated;	echo -n ' ypupdated'
		fi
		echo '.'
	fi

	if [ -f /usr/etc/keyserv ]; then
		keyserv;		echo 'starting RPC key server.'
	fi

	# set the netmask from NIS if running, or /etc/netmasks for all ether interfaces

	ifconfig -a netmask + broadcast + > /dev/null

"starting RPC key server" is the last message displayed on the console,
afterwards it shows
	NIS: server not responding for domain "h.marco.de"; still trying
repeatedly. Obviously "ifconfig" is trying to setup netmask and broadcast
values from YP. It seems to me like ypbind is trying to find a server by
broadcasting on all interfaces which are able to broadcast, it doesn't
find YP server "local" on interface "lo0". What is the basic idea in
not taking "local" as server ?

I tried to nickname 127.0.0.1 in /etc/hosts as "marvin" - no change.
Changed /var/yp/binding files (which serve as cache for ypbind) to
hold 127.0.0.1 as ip address instead of my standard address - no help.

One solution is to start "ypbind -ypset" and do a "ypset 127.0.0.1",
but I think it's kind of ugly. And rpc.yppasswdd still isn't found,
so you can't change your password.

Is there a way ? Is my startup sequence buggy ?

thanx for your help,
  louis
