Use `nmapmgr' to create it.
nmapmgr is interactive; start with subcommand `create' and continue
with `add mid ...'; there is a builtin `help' function.

Hi, we just replaced the hdisk1 in our ibm540 which has four hard disks(hdisk0,
hdisk1, hdisk3, hdisk4). The question is if we can boot the machine without
hdisk1(by some master flopy diskette) and mount the /u. We want to
recover /u where our data stores.
If anybody can give us a hint how to do this, we really appreciate.

I have the same .kshrc on the other machine.  I also have 
trap 'clearterm' 0
in my .kshrc, where clearterm erases the name, so I don't get confused after
I logout, back to my original system.
You can also embed this titlebar display as part of your ksh prompt, so that
it gets updated, along with a $PWD-style prompt.

Some...  after using the ubiquitous ``monitor'' utility and doing some of
my own exploration, I and some IBM'ers here noticed that AIX 3.2.x would
report huge amounts of memory in use during times of very light to
non-existant load.  After talking with the kernel group in austin (I am
getting this second hand from the IBM'er here who talked to them) it
seems that AIX will ``reserve'' all this memory and report it in use,
until it is actually needed and then release it... I am sure there is a
more eloquent way to state this, though I am not sure the theory, once
eloquently stated, will be so admired.  Can you Austin IBM dudes
elaborate, or are we not stating the problem well?

I have an RS/6000 with a bunch of X-stations. We have been running xdm
for user auth. I have just realized that when I telnet directly to
the workstation I get different ulimits compared to when I login 
via xdm from a X-station. The effect of this is that I do not have
enough stack space to run XL fortran. So when you telnet directly the
fortran works fine but when you login via xdm one gets the error:
         "Could not load program xlfentry
          Error was: Not enough space"
message. I doubled my ulimits in /etc/security/limits file and restarted the
system. This worked fine for ulimit -a from a telnet login but not from an
xdm login. Here is a comperative ulimit -a output for the same user:

    via telnet                 via xdm

Where is and why xdm is changing these limits. I don't think xdm itself
can consume so much. HEEEEEELP!!!!

Date: Mon, 23 Nov 1992 13:20:03 GMT

I've been working on a problem off and on for the last four weeks with IBM 
trying to get FDDI up and running on our RS/6000 model 560.  In short, we're 
trying to get FDDI up on the IBM dual attached with two Cabletron 
concentrators.  The two concentrators work fine together.  We have various 
machines on the other side of the network accessing both concentrators with 
no problems.  When we put the IBM in the ring and try to communicate out or 
in, nothing.  What's odd is that we get a link to the cards, but cannot see 
the card's address using the Cabletron Lanview software.  We have tried 
changing out adapter cards, reconfiguring, bringing down every other adapter 
on the IBM, etc.  The error log indicates that the card tries to receive 
something, encounters an error, then immediately goes into an error recovery 
mode, and shuts down.  This pattern is consistent each time we configure.  
We suspect that there is a compatibility problem with the IBM and the 
Cabletron concentrators.  Is there anyone out there who has IBM RS/6000 
equipment running dual and/or single attached with Cabletron concentrators?

Thanks in advance!

Can anyone reflect on positive or negative experiences with 3rd party
hardware and the RS/6000?

I'm in need right now of external SCSI-1 CD rom drives that work with
the IBM. 

We're getting a model 580, but *any* and all experience will do.  Our
3rd party hardware will probably come from AnDataCo in the form of a
external disk tower with 8 bays, 4 full of 2.0gb disks to start (adding
more as needed).  The tower will have two scsi 2 chains with
corresponding controllers.

Many thanks.

Actually, the relevant piece of code would be where you set the socket
to be non-blocking.  Are you doing an ioctl(FIONBIO) or fcntl(SETFL,FNDELAY)?
If the latter, then you need to link with libbsd before libc to get the
bsd-style fcntl behavior (see /usr/lpp/bos/bsdport).  If the former,
then I'm not sure what the problem could be, since non-blocking sockets
seems to work fine.  Have you called the problem in to customer support?

You can make your application use the libraries in a non-shared way
by specifying '-bnso' to the linker.  You will also need to include
any libraries that the libraries you use depend on, and if you link
libc nonshared, you'll need to include /lib/syscalls.exp.  I think
that if you want to include some libraries shared and some unshared,
the best way to do it is in two link steps-- the first specifying
-bnso, -berok, and including all the nonshared libraries, and specifying
an intermediate output file.  The second should specify neither
-bnso nor -berok, and should include all the shared libraries.

 Dear netters,
   Can any of you please tell me how to get
   around the following problem?
   Iam able to create a socket for inter-process
   communication but at run time I get the following
   message: "bind: only the owner or a privileged user
   can perform the operation". So, I have not been
   able to bind a name to it. This is on AIX 3.1.
   Iam usiing TCP/IP.
   Thanks in advance.

|AIX follows POSIX behavior, which does not allow you to.  I find this
|annoying.

The answer, of course, is lchown(). Which we are doing, by massive
request....

Keywords: elm
Organization: Veterinary Teaching Hospital, Michigan State Univ.

I just tried to compile Elm 2.3 but am getting compiler errors due to the
fact that redeclarations of common string macro appear in the code
like:
  char *strbrk();

I get an error message from the cc compiler:
"addr_util.c", line 45.0: 1506-041 (S) Parameter list cannot contain 
               fewer parameters than required by macro definition.

How can I tell the compiler to not choke on this problem!
Thanks for the help!
