No, chmod go-rwx doesn't buy you anything.  Removing the permissions on
an executable a user could write himself, ftp from somewhere, compile
from public sources, duplicate with a script, etc, etc, is just annoying.

To answer the original posters question, unix doesn't keep a file creation
date.  see stat.h:

struct  stat
{
[...deleted]
	time_t	st_atime;		/* Time of last access */
	int	st_spare1;
	time_t	st_mtime;		/* Time of last data modification */
	int	st_spare2;
	time_t	st_ctime;		/* Time of last file status change */
	int	st_spare3;
					/* Time measured in seconds since */
					/*   00:00:00 GMT, Jan. 1, 1970 */

 i was given (with much appreciation) a gcc binary
 for 3.2.  compilation works fine but ld can't seem
 to find gnulib. I get the following message:

 0706-005 ld: Cannot find file: gnulib
          Check path name and permissions or
          use local problem reporting procedures.

 I tried the -L and -l options; I set LDPATH to
 where gnulib lives. This didn't help.

ld could find gnulib if gnulib is in the same
 directory that i am compiling in.

 does ld in AIX require some addition setup?  help!

 thanks!

It depends on which program is doing what.  It's the age old problem
of incompatible locking mechanisms being used by different mail programs.

Last I heard someone was working on a fix for this.  Peter do you care

Only until they discover one of the many other ways to make the same

That statement isn't quite right- If the pwdb isn't currently open,
putuserpw _will_ do the right thing and open it with read-write access; no
call to setpwdb is necessary.  The problem is that if the pwdb is open with
read-only access (as getuserpw leaves it), putuserpw will not try to upgrade
the access to read-write, and subsequently fail.  This should either be
fixed, or it should be documented.

We have enough paging space left, so this should not be the problem.
Maybe the 100% usage of hd6 causes the problem.

Any solutions, fixes or tips? It is our main server, so restarting is the

Subject: RS6k monitor sync signal: help wanted
Date: 22 Jul 92 19:29:24 GMT
Organization: University of Toronto, Engineering Computing Facility

We want to set up a stereoscopic viewing device on a RS6000 but 
the sync signal from the monitor doesn't cooperate.

Anybody has done this with a Risc? 

Our set up includes a driving box that accepts monitor's sync signal
(with Green video signal), and then controls a pair of goggles.
The same setup works on a SGI IRIS and Amiga, as well as other
standard video equipment (eg VCR).  The box is from 3DTV.

On the scope it appears that the video signal from GREEN contains
negative component which is different from SGI or usual VCR.  But
shifting video voltage to all positive doesnot solve the problem.

We have another, not commercially available, driving boxes  (from Toshiba)
that DOES work with Risc monitor but we don't know why.  And as
said, it is no longer commercially available.

(The monitor models tried are 2011-19 and 2011-20).

Can anyone help?  I tried to call the local service centre and
just could not get through.

We've seen this since 3.1.3 days and still see it at 3.1.7 and 3.2.1. It isn't
any one user or pts, sometimes you will log onto a machine and "w" will give
you only a header and no output -- no one is logged on. Right.

All these levels of AIX also display ghosts, users who used to be on but are
not any longer. Supposedly a problem with the utmp file.

Hi, everyone,

I would really appreciate if somebody could help me out of this.

My RS6000 (with AIX 3.1.3) has two hard disks; one (hdisk0) is internal with
320 MB, and the other one (hdisk1) is external with 1 GB.  Recently, I tried to
do the following things by running the program 'smit', and now I know it was
stupid:

  1. make a backup of /usr, named /u/usrB.  (/u is in hdisk1.)
  2. make a copy of /usr in the logical volume /usr0.  (/usr0 is in hdisk1.)
  3. rename the logical volume /usr to /usr.orig.
       (when I was trying to do this, smit told me the execution failed. But,
        still, it did something that I don't know. Everything started to get
        messed up since then.)
  4. change the characteristic of /usr.orig by setting 'automatically mounted
     when system restarts' to NO.
  5. change the mount point of /usr0 to /usr.
  6. reboot the system but it was never successful.

Worse thing is that I don't have the three floppies 'bosboot', 'display', and
'insatll/maintenance'.  I borrowed the three for another RS600 with different
configuration. Then I used these floppies to reboot my RS6000.  Now, again, I
can run 'smit', but:

  A. it never recognized the terminal type even after I tried
     'export TERM=hft'.
  B. when I 'list the contents of a physical volume' of hdisk0, it seemed
     that the space of original /usr has been freed.
  C. when I 'list all the file systems', /usr no longer exists.
  D. when I 'list the contents of a physical volume' of hdisk1,  It gave me
     lots of question marks and said I need to run 'varyonvg'.

So, any suggestion?  I am able to reinstall the operating system, but, does
anyone know if I can recover all the files in hdisk1?
Any response to my problem is highly appreciated.  Thank you very much.

Besides the Ethernet board upgrade already mentioned, you may need to upgrade
your Ethernet device driver.  With the old driver, you only get one shot
at bringing up the board, then the driver hangs.  The new driver times out,
then retries the board.

Hi AIX gurus,

I am not very familiar with AIX, so please excuse the perhaps simple or stupid questions.

1) Is there an equivalent command like for example under SunOS dmesg to get the selftest
     or bootinfo during runtime?

2) Why need I ent0 and en0?

3) If I set up the AIX-system with 2 Ethernet interfaces, have I to configure
     ent0, en0, ent1 and en1 or only ent0, en0 and en1?

4) How can I check whether the kernel, if there is one at all, is TCP/IP capable?
     nm /unix | fgrep inet doesn't show anything at all, although TCP/IP works.

Thanks for any hint,

I have an rs6000/320-h set up on a token ring subnet, which looks
up a sun 490 on an ethernet subnet as the nameserver.  Problem is,
from any of the clients and the servers on the ethernet subnet I can 
ping the rs6000/320-h by both it's hostname and the ip address, but 
I can't ping, rlogin, etc. by hostname from the rs6000/320-h any of 
the servers/clients on the ethernet.  The NIS services are not yet 
turned-on on the rs6000. 

If I move the /etc/resolv.conf and add appropriate entries in the
/etc/hosts on the 6000, ping, etc. by hostname works (obviously).

What did I miss?  Does this have anything to do with DNS not being
supported on the SUN/OS?  If so, how do I fix it?  Thnx in advance.

Ensure that login is 'enabled' for that port in SMIT, and that XON/XOFF
is disabled. If you are using RTS/CTS handshaking then set speed of
port to 9600. I have not convinced myself that RTS/CTS
will be enabled if the command 'stty add rts < /dev/tty20' is issued.
Indeed this command will hang indefinetely if issued (why?)

Strangely enough there is no way through SMIT to enable
hardware handshaking which is what is needed if binary file transfer
is required.

>b) Should I use a null modem cable (which I have been doing)?

Definitely not, you will need a cable that has at least 8 connections,
pins 2,3,4,5,6,7,8 & 20 should be connected straight through. This
will allow RTS/CTS handshaking to cope with the DTE rate being higher
than the link rate of 2400 baud. This in turn will provide
higher througput in terms of file transfer.

>c) Should I send ATQ1 to the modem to suppress modem messages, because

I have found that this was not needed for dial in only connections.

	Are you sure argv[0] is outside the program's address space?

The version of xlock shipped with the AIX 3.2 AIXwindows works on
my x station 120.  However, keep in mind that xlock can potentially
put a SERIOUS drain on your network.

Subject: SUPPORT THE AIX ARCHIVE !!!

Organization: Washington University in Saint Louis, MO USA
NNTP-Posting-Host: wuarchive.wustl.edu
Summary: AIX archive is available
Keywords: aix ftp wuarchive


Washington University in St.Louis supports an archive for public
domain software which is available via anonymous ftp.  If you have a
piece of administrative software which has managed to make your life
easier - and you wouldn't mind making it available to the others
(assuming they will reciprocate), we would like to ask you make
a contribution.  If you're interested drop me a note (I'm the keeper of
things AIX). The archive is not-for-profit and provides a
genuine service.  Additionally, if you know of packages which are
specific to AIX on other systems (which are public domain), let me
know !

Thanks for taking the time...
