You obviously didn't look at this very hard.

The problem you described has nothing to do with getpwnam(); it's a bug
in getlogin().  getlogin() look at DEAD_PROCESS entries in utmp, when
instead it should just be returning NULL.  This also happens under 3.2.

I've considered reporting this, but given the rather underwhelming
support I've been receiving lately, I feel I would be wasting the
effort.

The following program does exactly what it appears to do:

If you run this in the background, and type "ps", it sez:

Does IBM (or s.o. else) offer AIX related (not licensed) software, patches
etc. via FTP on the internet? It would be a great help for me to be able to
download such things on my own.

Here in Germany it takes 2 - 4 weeks to get a patch (to compile gcc for

Any idea is welcome.

Since UNIX SYS-3 a plain 'ps' will report the basename of the command as
stored in the kernel proc structure.  Setting av[0] will not help this.

The system does not save the command's arguments as part of the internal
proc structure.  Therefore, 'ps -f', examines the actual process memory
image and attempts to parse the argv[] array to display the full argument
list.  'ps -f' faithfully follows your new av[0] pointer.

The crypt command has always scribbled on it's av[] to obscure the key if
it was passed as an arg.  Versions of uucico have been known to change
their names to UUCICO.

I am telnetting to a host (over which I have no control) which is sending out
8-bit characters, with even parity.  Unfortunately, on a display with
characters above 0177, this causes unreadable output.  Is there a way in
telnet, stty, etc. which would cause the stripping of the characters to 7
bits?

If the answer is obvious, sorry.  I've looked and experimented, but haven't

Does anyone know where (if at all) the getpriv and setpriv syscalls are
documented?  I've found oblique references to them in various places in the
Technical Library CD, but no direct documentation.  Additionally,
/usr/include/sys/priv.h has what looks to be the proper #defines to use with
these calls, but again, no clues to the exact function of these calls or
where the documentation might live.

Um, you did set up the "special userid" netinst and installed the files
it needs to run, as described in the chapter "How to install over a Network,"
in the Installation Guide, right? And uncommented the line
   instsrv  1234/tcp
in /etc/services? and uncommented the line in /etc/inetd.conf:
  instsrv stream tcp nowait netnist /u/netinst/bin/instsrv instsrv -r \
   /tmp/netinstallog /u/netinst/scripts

There's also a document G042806, "DSSC Flash 9061: Installation overview and
tips for AIX V3.1 on the Rist System/6000" which, while now dated, might help
you set up the server end. Your IBM rep should be able to get both of these

xscreensaver allows you to do this, and also has support for preventing

the screen is locked.  It is available for anonymous ftp from

We had the same problem. We removed the virtual printer and the print

Make sure `xterm' is setuid root, and that it was compiled with `UTMP'

I guess you mean *xautolock* (instead of autolock). I had a look
at it, and it's an X program. Sorry, my original posting may not
have been clear. What I'm looking for is something that will
blank the console screen whether or not X is running.

Our RS/6000 running AIX 3.2.1 sits in a lab for general use. Often
there is no one logged on. So the screen has "Console login:" at
the lower left corner all the time. The advice I got was to turn
the monitor off or turn the intensity down. There must be a better
solution, and I don't want to have to code it.

    We are going to buy an entry level workstation

do floating point intensive Monte-Carlo calculations,
so floating point speed is important.  I understand 
that the HP is a little faster, and that HP-UX might
be better developed than AIX.  However, I have been 
offered a better price by IBM.  Therefore, if the
differences between the machines were slight, we

administration.

Make sure you set the block size for 8mm to 1024! Otherwise, you are
wasting 1/2 of each helical tape track. This would also (most likely)
affect transfer rate, as the system has to wait for the track-padding
to occur before writing more data for the next track. I've posted a
relatively descriptive article about how 8mm works in the past, so if
you need more information search through past articles....

"mksysb" needs a 512 byte block for a different reason, and you must
manually set the block size back to 1024 after you do an "mksysb".
This is also described in a past article.

Hope this helps!
