Date: Tue, 25 Aug 1992 19:33:57 GMT

I'm having trouble with a couple of administration tasks on a StarServer
E running Unix SVR4.  I've read the manuals, tried what I can, and still
can't solve these problems.  I would appreciate some help.

1.  I have an AT&T 593 laser printer with the PDL (postscript) board
    installed.  I installed it as "att593eps," directly connected to
    the parallel port (/dev/lp), and have been unable to get anything
    to print on it.  The commands I enter are:

       /usr/lib/lp/postscript/postprint >xxx
       lp xxx

    The printer displays "Processing" for several seconds and then
    returns to "Online."  I have configured the printer for "PDL"
    emulation.

    Also, if I just pipe the "postprint" and "lp" commands, they hang
    and I have to break.

2.  I have OpenLook 2.0 installed on the StarServer and on several
    6386/25's.  I am able to use X on the 386's, but when I try to
    start OpenLook (olinit) on the StarServer, it hangs with a blank
    screen and eventually reboots.

    Also, how do you connect to a remote client?

Email or post responses.  I would appreciate it.

The theory is NFS is transport independant.  I agree with Jeff that not too 
many customers that I know of at the moment want NFS over anything but 
TCP/IP.  But customers have been known to ask (,or better yet, demand) 
strange things that are perfectly reasonable to them.  NFS over ISO.  
NFS over whatever comes next.  Why not.  In a year, you may be flaming
anyone who can't do it.  

If you are running USL-based SVR4 code, you should already be able to do it.
It may not be easy or straight forward, but I believe the ability is there 
in the USL code.

Subject: Streams problem on SysV R3.1
Organization: Sacramento Public Access Unix
Date: Sat, 29 Aug 92 01:16:44 GMT

I am having a rather interesting problem with my 3B2/310...

I just downloaded pcomm (a Procomm look-a-like for unix) from GEnie (Yah,
could have done it cheaper, but I was Anxious).  Anyway, although one of
the readme files says that <R3.2 people are out of luck, it's configuration
file tells me I have everything I need to compile the program.

The problem is that one or more of the source files contains 
#include <sys/stream.h>
which in itself is not a problem.  The problem is in the header file, I get
the following:

"/usr/include/sys/stream.h", line 19: syntax error
"/usr/include/sys/stream.h", line 19: cannot recover from earlier errors: goodbye!

Line 19 looks like this: (from within a structure definition)
	caddr_t q_ptr;                  /* to private data structure */

The following line appears around line 400 and something:
	#define straln(a)      (caddr_t)((long)(a) & ~(sizeof(int)-1))

Now, my C skills are quite lacking, but it appears to me that the datatype
of caddr_t is not defined until after the header attempts to use it.  I
have not tried to relocate the #include <sys/stream.h> line yet (that will
be my next trial).

And, since my C skills are lacking, I have probably left out some important
information that one might need to help diagnose this problem, but if
anyone can offer any assistance, I would love it.  I am dying to get this
program up and running!!!!

Thanx in advance,
Dan.

    Does this mean the package will not work when running sysVR4 on a
non-risc 3B2?  Then again it was my understaning that the TCP/IP was
built into R4 - not an add on package.
 
    Has my documentation been fibbing to me?

Distribution: na
Organization: AT&T Bell Laboratories, Murray Hill NJ


Documenter's WorkBench is the original UNIX text processing
software package.  It has been kept alive and well through
the years inside AT&T and is now available to all. The
latest version, DWB 3.2, includes first rate PostScript
printer support, several utilities to aid PostScript printer
administration, many tbl fixes, man macros for System V
and BSD, troff speed improvements and much more. If you
currently have an old version (typically DWB 2.0) I
urge you to consider the considerably-more reliable, robust
and supported 3.2 package. If you have problems ordering
the software or getting support, send mail to me or to
dwb@att.com.
This version of troff and other tools in DWB 3.2 is used
by Brian Kernighan and many other authors to typeset their
books, and it is used by tens of thousands of internal
AT&T folks for customer documentation, memos, letters,
brochures. The package comes with PostScript and HP
LaserJet support only.
Here are the NCR ordering codes:
3B2/400/500	C041-0DWB-0000
3B2/600-1000-70	C071-0DWB-0000
3B2/1000-80	C361-0DWB-0000
386 (5.25")	C331-0DWB-0000
386 (3.5")	C331-1DWB-0000
386E/33		C341-0DWB-0000
Starserver S	C353-0DWB-0000
386 UNIX 4.x (5.25")
Starserver E	C331-0DW4-0000
(same, 3.5")	C331-1DW4-0000
(same, >30 users) C341-0DW4-0000
System 7000	C371-0DWB-0000

Internal AT&T employees can order the same software
for Sun 3, Sun 4, Amdahl UTS, VAX and HP 7000 through
USTOP (908-582-5880). In all cases, the source code
is identical, but you'll be getting binary distribution,
for these and the NCR products.
Documentation is all updated. man pages are included
in the binary as well. There is even a sample PostScript
logo for private letterheads.

Internally, we have an X Window troff viewer and an
X Window enhancement to pic, Picasso, but I've never
been able to interest AT&T/NCR in selling these.
Let me know if you're interested.

It was mentioned to me that some additional information would help in solving
this problem.  Well today, our system crashed again.  Error messages on the
console were as follows:

YES, a 3B2 will NOT boot unless the console is attached.  It
will also fail to complete shutdown with the console missing!

If you really want to operate a "blind" 3B2, jumper DTR to DCD
on the console line.  If you're using the supplied RJ-45 to

Sun plans call for Solaris 2.1 to ship in the late fall (November or
so).  This will be the first version to support (depending, I suppose,
on your exact definition of support) their entire SPARC line.  It will
be the first version to ship to contract customers automatically (to
get S2.0 you must specifically request it).  And new systems are
supposed to ship with it preinstalled at that time.

How soon it will penetrate depends upon a lot of variables.  Like any
major new release it depends to a great extent on how soon software
vendors will support their software under it.  A lot of major vendors
will support it just about immediately (a few already support S2.0
now).  Sun has been pushing vendors to port for a while now...expect
them to begin pushing customers early next year.

That is an even harder question to answer.  It depends upon your
resources.  If you have a machine to spare and a copy of S2.0 then now
wouldn't be a bad time.

It also depends upon your specific customer base.  Are they typically
the sorts of sites that don't really care about running the latest
release as long as their software runs?  Are they the sorts of sites
that have lots of multiprocessor systems that will see a performance
boost from an upgrade?  Are they the sorts of sites that run a few big
name applications likely to support S2.x soon or the sorts of sites that
run a lot of small packages that may take longer?

It might be worth while to spend some time surveying your current
customer base and asking THEM when they plan to make the change.

The script /usr/slan/vmsys/NPP/Node_admin/define/calc.load has many
errors in it, preventing me from changing the loading parms of my 1MB
StarLAN. I'd really appreciate it if someone can give me a pointer as to
where I can do this without !@#@#$!$#@!!@FACE.

The problem I'm trying to solve is this. My DOS clients all have two
UNIX server directory hierarchies linked as pseudo-hard disks, but the
third link is flaky -- sometimes the files are there and sometimes DIR
reports that there are no files on drive M:. I'm guessing that I haven't
set aside enough memory for the number of links.

Comments and suggestions are *more* that welcome. Thanks.

(One calc.load bug: the getopts line occurs too early in the script!
Don't they ever execute these things??)

In a similar vein (sorry, I don't have an answer), if I send multiple print
