Subject: HP-UX 6.5 and NFS File Locking...
Date: 6 Apr 92 21:52:04 GMT
Organization: NIST


Help!

I have an HP 9000/300 (68030 unix box) running HP-UX Ver 6.5,
configured as an NFS server. It works like a champ running NFS
as long as I don't try to use file locking with the PCTCP
software from FTP S/W (the package we have a site license for).
The pc NFS client is the "interdrive" package. As soon as I
enable file locking, I get an error message from the interdrive
side upon mounting the remote filesys, and I get SHARE errors 
from the DOS side when I try to read from or write to the nfs 
drive. The error message upon mounting reads "Bad response from
remote lock daemon." 

Additionally, I enabled error logging on the lockd command line,
and each reboot of the HP system appends an error to this file -
an example is below:

	92.01.16 11:22:33  unknown   pid=67     /usr/etc/rpc.lockd
	     signal handler: signal = 15

The lockd does however execute and is visible when printing the
status of jobs with "ps -ef." The closest I come to
understanding what signal = 15 can mean is from a listing of
errno.h - and it has a #define ENOTBLK 15 line with the comment
"Block Device Required."

I can't imagine that this is really the right interpretation,
but unix has baffled me many times before and will undoubtedly
continue to stretch the realm of my feeble imagination!

I have another, far lower priority issue - Does anybody out
there know how to get name services up for this machine?
Apparently the Yellow Pages Services are not supported here on
campus, and it would be awfully nice to use a name server of
some sort. No "named" (name deamon) exists on the machine that 
I can find.

Any help or insights would be quite welcome! 

HP doesn't especially support this version of the OS any longer,
though they have tried to be helpful. The word I get from them is
that file locking never worked under 6.5 on a 9000/3xx machine...

Any public domain lock daemons out there?

Thanks in advance!

To avoid problems like this, consider switching to RCS.
It's free, and can do pretty much anything SCCS can do,
e.g. its `co' is roughly equivalent to `sccs get'.
I think an old version of RCS is shipped as part of HP-UX.
You can FTP the source code to the latest version
from ftp.cs.purdue.edu in pub/RCS.

Compile by saving to file and type "cc -o core core.c".  Install the
program in some publicly available directory like /usr/local/bin.
----------

I'd advise against naming the program "core".  Many systems automatically
delete any file named core after a certain period of time.  Perhaps "coreid"
or something would be better.

Which models within the HP9K family are planned for support
and when?  700 series?  800 series?  What can we expect in 
terms of HP peripheral support with the OSF UNIX kernel (what
HP I/O controllers, disks, tapes, graphics h/w, etc)?  

Will need to know this information for planning purposes.

"t" is the "strap" for the transmit-handshake which uses modem line cts as

Date: 14 Apr 92 13:25:31 GMT
Organization: PBS:Public Broadcasting Service, Alexandria, VA

We are attemting to use vue with MacX on Macintosh systems, and have almost got
it right!  We are a mixed HP/DEC environment and are running MacX 1.1.7 as
distributed with the DEC Pathworks for Mac package.  I have figured out how to
define the MacX servers in Xservers and can get vuelogin to correctly see them,
etc.  The big problem I have is mapping the delete key correctly.  If I am
working with a normal terminal (or even hpterm or xterm) I can get the "delete"
key (DEL or ^? instead of ^H) to map correctly if I handle the root login,
using the command
	stty erase "^?"
in the root process (in the /etc/csh.login or /etc/profile files), yet these
are not executed as part of the vuelogin process.  I can add the appropriate
stty command to the .cshrc file and get the DEL key set for terminal windows,
but not for the editor or mail windows.  Any ideas?

Since I am a new vue user please assume I don't know what your talking about
yet, but am eager to learn, so please be as specific as possible.

We have a continuing problem adapting new systems to our "old" network. We
still use 0's broadcast (instead of the technically correct 1's). We have
ifconfig's our 710 to do our broadcast and everything looks like it should
do it. When we check with an analyzer, the 710 appears to generate 1's
regardless (we can tell because of the packet storm and high volume of
the traffic bar on our sniffer).

Does someone have the procedure or patch to install a settable broadcast
in the 710's under 8.07? OR what might we be doing wrong?

Same still goes for the 700/RX, though I see in the posting from HP that
the broadcast is not resettable in this case. Bummer!

It is possible, but it is controlled via the datebookrc file, not an
X resource.  From the file /usr/lib/X11/datebook/datebookrc:

  # The Morning value is used by Datebook to determine whether the event
  # time is AM/PM.   When an event time is specified without an AM/PM
  # designation, then if the hour is greater than the value for "Morning,"
  # it is assumed to be AM.  Otherwise it is it is PM.
  #
  # If Morning is not set, then Datebook displays time in 24 hour notation.
  # To do this, comment put the "Morning" line with a "#" character.
  #
  Morning:          6

I suspect you are being bitten by a VUE feature called "terminal caching".
When you close an hpterm window, the process isn't killed.  Instead the
window is reset to the default state and put in a cache.  The next time
you request an hpterm window, one is taken from the cache.  I suspect
your problem is that the hpterm window gets put in a state that is not
easily cleaned up by the normal reset sequence.  Therefore when you close
it and open another, you get the same one back from the cache.

If you are bold, you can 'kill -9' the offending hpterm to make it really
go away.  Of course you have to figure out which is the offending terminal.
Often looking at the processes spawned by the terminals leads you to the
right one.

A little less extreme is to simply iconify the offending window and hide
the icon under the front panel (kind of like pushing the dust bunnies
under your bed.)  As long as it isn't consuming too many cycles or doing
anything dangerous, this is OK.

Greetings:

I noticed today that news items (i.e. all files in /usr/news) are not
being properly displayed when one uses the "news" command to see them.

Specifically, additional spaces (not tabs, spaces) are placed between 
words (never within words), at seemingly random (but reproducible)
places in the news item.  This occurs on all my news items.

Moreover, when I copy the HP-UX 7.0 news executable in as "oldnews" and
use it, it works just fine.  I do not have "more", "pg", etc aliased, I
have no PAGER environment variable, and this asinine behavior is noted
even when I simply say "news someitem".  Has anyone else encountered this,
and solved it?  If so, an e-mail message will increase my mental health.

Thanks. 

Chris

P.S.  I will, of course, summarize if it seems warranted.
P.P.S I do not want to simply use the old executable: call me a purist.

That is why I choose telnet, not rlogin.  Not everyone can make a
connection into a system via rlogin.  For those who can't, the LINES and
COLUMNS should still work.  I am not saying that SIGWINCH and the
associated ioctl should not be tried.  Only that we have to preserve

Not really. This looks like you have used the td command to take you into
assembly mode. The full procedure name is provided in the highlighted area
just below this code fragment. I sometimes like to use the ts mode where I
can view both source code and assembly at the same time (you lose the 
register information). 

#ifdef NOT_AFFILIATED
I'm a little surprised at the question from someone from CenterLine. I use
to use SaberC and thought your debugger tools where far superior to the
basic xdb/adb tools provided by HP-UX (Then again, how do you debug a 
debugger?). As soon as I get a little breathing room I hope to order your 
latest stuff and try it again.
#endif

Anyway, hope this helps.

  If indeed your need for root access via NFS is for doing remote backup,

rdump(1m)).

I am attempting to find a screen saver for a HP s300 system running 7.0
I don't want it for the Xwindows but for the console.  I have looked many
places but the only one I find is for Sun machines.

Can anyone help me?
