Many thanks to those people who mailed me on this one.

I got the answer from Christoph Baumhof, who told me to set the DIP switches
on my HP35470A to 1-5 on , and 7-8 off, whereas the drive is shiped with all
DIP switches on.

I appears these last two DIP switches allow the device driver to verify there
is a tape loaded in the unit.

I have asked my distributor to find out for me what else these DIP switches
control, and if this is usefull will port when I recieve it.

Many thanks again.

Charles.

I noticed that none of the "standard" rpc utilities seem to be included in
Ultrix 4.2A.  For example, rup, ruptime, rwall, etc.  Are they available?
Does anyone know why they were not included in the first place?  There is
a statd running on all of my machines, but what do I to query it?

Thanks in advance for any info you may be able to provide.

Subject: How to read VMS-disks on an Ultrix-machine???
Date: 6 Oct 92 10:29:01 GMT
Organization: RKS Data AB, Vaxjoe, Sweden

Hi folks!
I have a (small) problem with disk-formats.
Up to now we had a magneto - optical disk connected to a VAX with VMS. We 
are planning to move this drive to a Ultrix-machine and my question is if 
there exist any program that makes it possible to read disks formatted in 
FILES-11 format on a Ultrix-machine?
I know, it's possible to use NFS or DECNET and have the drive connected to 
the VMS-host but we would like to connect the drive directly to the
Ultrix-machine.
Is this possible????

Thanks for your help!

As stated earlier when i talk user@sunhost nothing happens.

When i otalk user@sunhost the following happens:

ULTRIX:

SUN:

And that's it.
I have checked the inetd.conf files on both machines. The appropriate
sockets are open. inetd is reinitialised. Ther are no network problems
(otherwise i could not login on sunhost).

So, what's going on?

Is there anybody that knows something???

Probably.  I've installed ULTRIX V4.2 on an RZ35, which is our
internal name for the DSP3080.  The DSP3105 is the OEM version
of the RZ26.  There's probably some microcode differences, but
not enough to make the installation fail.

Here's the V4.3 disktab entry for the RZ26.  The geometry is most
likely the same.  The default partition table that you'll get is
the 16 MB A partition, 64 MB B partition and the rest of the disk
G partition (RZxx).

According to the initscr() man page:

     The first routine called in a program using curses routines should
     almost always be initscr.  If errors occur, initscr will write an
     appropriate error message to standard error and exit.  If the program
     needs an indication of error conditions, newterm should be used instead
     of initscr.

The behavior we actually get is a bit different than this, though.  If
the terminal is unknown, we get:

    Sorry, I don't know how to deal with your 'foo' terminal.
    Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Core dump!  Ick!  Running a trace on this, it looks like it's dying in
the _doprnt routine:

    (gdb) run
    Starting program: /ingsrc/rechdb/c/rechdb/rechdb
    Sorry, I don't know how to deal with your 'foo' terminal.

    Program received signal 11, Segmentation fault

    #4  0x402524 in main () at menu.c:810
    (gdb) quit


Is this a bug or what?  Am I doing something wrong?  It would be nice
to be able to trap this in a more graceful way.  I guess I can always
use newterm() and do all the work myself.  Sigh.

I'm going to be using SLIP.  Alas, We don't yet have a
terminal server with built-in compression, so it's a bit
of a pig.

With a fair amount of robustness, I have had success 
using an NCD 15b from home, using Xremote.  I'm not sure
if it's because of compression, or because it's single
bit, but performance is acceptable.

There doesn't seem to be a way of firing up Xws in single
bit mode in order to test this hypothesis.  Is there a
server out there that will run on a DS5000/20 in single
bit mode?  Or should I not expect substantial improve-
ment, and just wait for a SLIP server?  In this regard,
any recommendations?

I know I'll sound like a bad old DECcie here, but...
On VMS, there IS an API for getting this type of info.  If you
have a stray VMS system running the LATmaster version of LAT driver,
you could pick the info off that machine, send it to your ULTRIX box,
which could then mung the BIND database.

   On the RZ25, it's a jumper.  Assume you the have drive facing you, on the right
   is a set of jumpers (total 8), the 2nd jumper from the front controls spinup.
   IN it waits for a spin up, OUT it spins up on power on.

I would love to do the same with the RZ55.  At first glance it looks
like there is no such jumper but I am hoping someone's second glance
will prove me wrong.

I'm assuming you're running talk on Ultrix 4.2 or something near it.

The target machine may be running BSD4.2 talk and thus imcompatible with
BSD4.3 talk protocols, or the machine isn't running talkd, or their router
blocks TCP connections on port 518, or their talkd is improperly installed
(this happens more often than you'd think).

SunOS (at least up to SunOS 4.1.2) ships with BSD4.2 talkd, which is what
causes talk to not work most often. Thank you Sun.

In any case, ask your friend at the target machine to ask the sysadmin there
why talk doesn't work (they may have good reasons - or they may not be aware
that there's a problem).

I'm having a problem with the CSO Nameserver (qi) under Ultrix 4.2.  I can
run a "Configure ultrix" alright but the make is giving me some errors.
Here's what I find...

When configs/ultrix @Features reads:

	@Features = ("LOCKF_FLOCK");

the following errors occur with a make install...

	cd include; make all
	cd lib; make all

Changing @Features to:

the following errors occur with a make install...

In qi/lib/flock.c the statement "#include <sys/fcntl.h>" was altered to
"#include <fcntl.h>" to get this far.

Suggestions and comments would be most welcome.

Hi!!

Did anyone try to implement page quotas on  DEC 5000/350, HP 9000/835 or
HP 750 series for printing?  If the answer is yes, can you please let me 
know how you have implemented it.

I am in a University and there is a lot of misuse of paper and 
laserprinters, as our lab can be accessed 24 hours a day.

Implementing page quotas would solve the problem to a great extent, if
not completely.


Thanks in anticipation.

It's not to guarantte that DXterms terminal Widget supplies a action
called string(), so the error may occure.
To change Keyboard mapping for a Xserver (for all applications running
on it) its best to use xmodmap.
If you don't find xmodmap on your sys, its in the unsupported X11 stuff
distribution. Or in the X11R5, too.
F.i., my modifier changes are (lk401 keyboard) :

keycode 113 = Escape F11
keycode 90  = Break F5
clear mod1
clear mod2
add mod1 = Alt_L Alt_R
add mod2 = Mode_switch

to get a physical escape key on F11, and to map the modifiers in a way
DECwrite can handle it someway.

Add a line like the following to your system's config file
(/usr/sys/conf/mips/SYSNAME):

smseg	SOMENUMBER

where SUMNUMBER is the maximum number of shared memory segments any one

Ultrix 4.2 and SunOs 4.1.1 both agree on this behaviour.  The DEC man
page seems to indicate the behaviour you *expect*.  However, since a
'word' on these machines is 32 bits, what we seem to get is 512*(4
bytes/word)=2048 bytes. 

This isn't the only case where DEC blew the man page updates. Sun fixed
theirs, it correctly calls a word 4 bytes.

Martin's package is dandy, but it's a kludge.  Better to get VMSTAR, a VMS

Subject: Hopefully, an amazingly stupid NSR question...
Organization: CS
Date: Thu, 1 Oct 1992 21:42:45 GMT



Against what may be my better judgement, I'm going to go ahead and pop for
NSR, and trust DEC to eventually support the HP 9000/700's.  Mainly because
of some personal email I got from a DEC dude who offered some assistance.
I really like DEC.  Maybe that's why I bash 'em so much.

On to my question.

I have each filesystem explicitly listed as to when to be backed up.

1 filesystem '/src' contains all my PD source.  on the first of the month,
I do a full backup (level 0), and every day, do a level 2.  For reasons
I have yet to comprehend, nsr insists on backing up 540 MB's of that src
tree every time.  It backs up the exact same files, every day.  I've done
a full level 0 to try and stop it, but it insists.  Note that it does not
back up ALL of /src, which is about 1.3GB's.

I do not have a cronjob running out there that changes permissions or
manipulates that filesystem in any way, in fact, I've tried disabling that 
filesystem, and running find to get a list of files modified since the last 
NSR run, and I get maybe 2-3 MB's of stuff.  Fire up NSR, and boom, 540 MB's.  
2 consecutive NSR runs in a row will backup the same files.  (Spaced 5 
minutes apart.  Well, 5 minutes after the first run completes).

If you have any ideas, please let me know.  I use the same scheme for
the system filesystems, and they're working fine. (Same schedule, directives,
etc.).

From the latest DEC Systems and Options Catalog:

- DECsystem 5900 TURBOchannel Options
-
-   PMAZ-BA/BB   Additional SCSI TURBOchannel option, supports up to seven 
-                internal devices or one external SCSI device.

Is this correct ?

We have an additional SCSI TCA with a StorageServer 100 connected to it.  The
StorageServer 100 claims 3 SCSI ids, one for the autochanger and two for the 
MO drives.  In the docs for the StorageServer it claims you can chain
up to two of these devices together (3 devs + 3 more = still less than 7)
but the Catalog would have me believe otherwise.

Also, as I am evaluating the StorageServer 100 any comments on it would be
welcomed.

I've done this, but swapon gives a no such device error.  Yes, there is a device.

Whats wrong ?
