I've gotten lot's of responses saying that VIRTUALPAGECNT is probably the
culprit.  I think I need to give more information :-)

I have a cluster with 6610, 6420 and 6410.  They use a common sysdump.dmp and
uaf.  The 6610 and 6420 have idential virtualpagecnt (270144) and memory
(262144 pages).  The 6610 has no problem reading the dump, the 6420 gets
virtual memory exhausted using the same USERNAMES.  They have identical size
pagefiles (and number of pagefiles).

I can try increasing virtualpagecnt, but then I would need to understand why it
would work at the current level on the 6610.  Any further thoughts?

Thanks to all my respondents so far (I tried replying to each, but the numbers
were getting a bit large :-)

I've been using non-Exabyte cartridges for a while now with no problems.  I
mainly use them once, though, to back files onto, and only rarely do a read
on them to retrieve files.  The tapes I'm using are Sony P6-120MP metal
partical tapes.

REQUEST FOR PROGRAMMER

Dear Friends,
I have been asked by a friend to find a programmer who could write software 
for a convenience store POS (point of sale) system that would automate 
checkouts for most customers. Can you direct me to any assoications or 
other places in the Washington DC area, any place that I can direct her 
from where she could find out about available, reliable programmers?
If you are interested yourself, please do not send a resume to me. Just 
send me your name, address (ground as well as e-mail), and about 1 line 
about your experience, and I will pass them on to the woman who has asked 
that I help her.

Thanks.

The information provided by Loren Buhle re POSIX FAQ is great to have here
in this group; however, it might provide better service by being
incorporated into a VMS-POSIX FAQ rather than an isolated POSIX FAQ.

Do you folks agree?  Are there even enough FAQ on vmsnet.vms-posix to
warrant a more formalized FAQ document?  And lastly, if you agree to these
two questions, who wants to maintain this vms-posix FAQ document? ;-)

     Well, the cover letter for V1.1 includes (on 1st page in bold type)
{quote}

				CAUTION
VMS POSIX Version 1.0 users: Install this VMS POSIX Version 1.1 kit immediately.
In rare circumstances, the Version 1.0 kit can cause system failure and data
corruption.

{end quote}

     We don't use the real time stuff here, so I haven't paid any attention
to it and did not notice whether the release notes mention it specifically.
We've haven't any crashes due to VMS POSIX; I don't think we've had _any_
crashes since installing it.  It hasn't gotten much use [yet?] though...

Yep. I don't know if anyone really uses it, but currently, if you type

$ create/term/noproc

You get a new decterm with no process. You can type return in that decterm to
get a Username: prompt and log in to a different account. And now that I've
figured that out, I'm going to start using it instead of "set host 0" to do
system management stuff, so there will be at least one person who uses that
feature. :-)

Perhaps Motif should assign a channel to the FT device before it realizes the
window so that there isn't that window of vulnerability. Of course there's
probably a reason that's difficult. On the other hand, it could be that they pop
the window up early to decrease the apparent response time, in which case I
think they should definitely fix it, as they have introduced a bug thereby.

Subject:      WIN/TCP LPRSMB problem

[My WIN/TCP license numbers are: E-5863, E-5864, E-5865, E-5866, E-19088.]

I am having a problem setting up a VMS queue to route to a UNIX printer using
the WIN/TCP LPRSMB.  Every time a non-priv'ed user tries to print a file, the
symbiont dies with:

%%%%%%%%%%%  OPCOM   7-OCT-1992 14:01:08.89  %%%%%%%%%%%    (from node OREGON at

7-OCT-1992 14:01:13.07)
Message from user QUEUE_MANAGE on OREGON
%QMAN-E-SYMDEL, unexpected symbiont process termination

%%%%%%%%%%%  OPCOM   7-OCT-1992 14:01:08.93  %%%%%%%%%%%    (from node OREGON at
7-OCT-1992 14:01:13.12)
Message from user QUEUE_MANAGE on OREGON
-JBC-F-NOPRIV, insufficient privilege or queue protection violation

The queue is set up to restrict who can submit to it as follows, note protection

and ACL:

$ show queue/full win$hp
Server queue WIN$HP, stopped, on OREGON::HP, mounted form SMALL_66 (stock=SMALL)
  /BASE_PRIORITY=4 /BLOCK_LIMIT=100 /DEFAULT=(FORM=SMALL_66 (stock=SMALL))
  /LIBRARY=HP_LASERJET /OWNER=[CC_VMS,SYSTEM] /PROCESSOR=LPRSMB
  /PROTECTION=(S:E,O:D,G:R,W)
         (IDENTIFIER=CC_STAFF,ACCESS=WRITE)

The error occurs even though the user does hold identifier CC_STAFF.  In fact he

can submit to the queue, it just can't seem to process the file.  I have another

queue with the same protection and ACL, but that does not use LPRSMB, and it
works fine:

$ show queue/full lp$daffy
Terminal queue LP$DAFFY, idle, on DAFFY::PR$DAFFY, mounted form SMALL_66
(stock=SMALL)
  /BASE_PRIORITY=4 /BLOCK_LIMIT=100 /DEFAULT=(FORM=SMALL_66 (stock=SMALL))
  /LIBRARY=HP_LASERJET Lowercase /OWNER=[CC_VMS,SYSTEM] /PROCESSOR=NO_FF_SYMB
  /PROTECTION=(S:E,O:D,G:R,W) /SEPARATE=(RESET=(RESET))
         (IDENTIFIER=CC_STAFF,ACCESS=WRITE)

I tried changing the protection to the normal unrestricted default of
(S:E,O:D,G:R,W:W) but that didn't work either.  Do I need to INSTALL the
symbiont with some priv's?  Help!

Dear Wollongongers,

	Pardon me if this has topic has been covered before.
	Finger has two unusual "features" associated with

	The second is that the .PLAN and the .PROJECT files need

	We are running VMS 5.4-3, WIN/TCP 5.2 on a VAX 4300

The "Class" parameter of the lpr protocol is used as the form parameter in
the VAX PRINT command.  Some PC implementations, such as PC/TCP, send a
class parameter (-Cxxxxx) by default.  In such cases, you have to
explicitly enter a class on the lpr command line that matches the VAX queue
form name.

Dick,

	No, those connections go away as soon as they are closed.

Subject: HELP: Strange ethernet behavior????

We have a thin ethernet connecting all our PC and workstations, all the
other connections worked well except the one to VAXStation 3100.  I got
84 FAIL error when I did 'test 1' (according to the manual, it means a
connection is not established).  But if I terminated either side of 
the T-junction, it passed without any error message.  I have tried
three different T-junctions and still got the error.  Could any one
explan this strange error code?  By the way, when the VAX complaint
that some connection is broken, all other PC/workstation still can
access the network without any bounced signal (I used ping in RS/6000
to trace the bounce time).
