When you set up a program to run on a certain port, with socket,
setsockopt, bind & listen, it's ready to connect to. But how do you
make your server refuse connection to the port again (_without_
shutting down your program)? I tried to see if man on bind etc refered
to something, but there was nothing there. Unfortunately I haven't
one of those smart UNIX-books, so I hope some of you out there
can give me a hint.

Subject: Booting ULTRIX
Date: 20 Jul 92 22:14:31 GMT


           I am desperately looking for some information about booting
           ULTRIX (4.1) on a workstation/vs2000 (client) from a MicroVAX
           II (server) running ULTRIX.  The documentation is being held
           up by corporate and I would like to get started on this
           endeavor.

           Using the manual utility I have come across the DMS and RIS
           utilities but the entries are not complete.  I know in a
           traditional UNIX environment BOOTP and TFTP protocols would
           be used to boot a client from a server but in the ULTRIX
           environment I imagine that is not possible because the
           TCP/UDP/IP protocol stack is not available in the boot PROM.

           If someone could first give me a high level overview of how
           satellite workstations are handled in an ULTRIX environment
           and possibly the procedures for adding a diskless client I
           would appreciate it.  The high level might explain what
           protocols are used such as MOP and if the protocol is ever
           switched over to a TCP/IP protocol stack.  The low level
           would possibly give the example commands to add a diskless or
           small disk workstations.

           I have been unable to get subscribed to this group so please
           send replies directory to BARNES@UMRGEC.EEC.UMR.EDU or

Subject: socket problem on RS6000, HELP !.
Date: 31 Jul 92 18:31:51 GMT
Organization: School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, UCLA


Greeting !.

Would anyone please help me with this problem ?:

 Purpose:  
        Communication using socket(Internet domain, TCP type)
        functions used:  
           for server:  socket(AF_NET, SOCK_STREAM, 0)
                        bind();
                        listen();
                        accept();
                        recvfrom();
                        sendto();

           for client:  socket(AF_NET, SOCK_STREAM, 0)
                        connect();
                        sendto();
                        recvfrom();

        The data passed back and forth in the communicating are in form
        of some defined structures.

  Problem:

        The communication is perfect between PS/2's systems !.
        The same program is compiled on RS6000 and run as a client version,
        then the data received at the server (PS/2) is always incorrect.

  Question:
        1/.  Do sendto() and recvfrom() behave differently on RS6000 ?.
        2/.  The data on either end is checked before being sent, the
             correct data is sent but the wrong data is received, why ?
        3/.  Does the TCP socket type not take care of the errors during
             transmission ?.


  Any help/advice will be really appreciated.

Your question is one of the FAQs. UNIX FAQs are posted monthly. 

1)  How do I find out the creation time of a file?
 
    You can't - it isn't stored anywhere.  Files have a last-modified
    time (shown by "ls -l"), a last-accessed time (shown by "ls -lu")
    and an inode change time (shown by "ls -lc"). The latter is often
    referred to as the "creation time" - even in some man pages -  but
    that's wrong; it's also set by such operations as mv, ln,
    chmod, chown and chgrp.
 
    The man page for "stat(2)" discusses this.

Subject: Dump vs tar (across multiple hosts!!!!!! Arrggg!)
Date: 29 Jul 92 14:55:08 GMT
Reply-To: sears@tree.egr.uh.edu
Organization: University of Houston


Earlier I posted a question about piping dump through compress and putting  
that output onto a 4mm tape.  Then extracting the compressed dump.  That is  
now working great but I have encountered a new problem:

The partitions I want to dump span across *two* hosts, ie,

host1:/Users
host1:/Users2
host2:/Users    (also mounted on host1 as /Users3)

The structures are dumped via the following:

/etc/dump 0usf 60000 - /Users | compress -c - > ${TAPE}
/etc/dump 0usf 60000 - /Users2 | compress -c - > ${TAPE}
/etc/dump 0usf 60000 - /Users3 | compress -c - > ${TAPE}

When I tried to dump host2:/Users via the mount point /Users3, I get the  
following:

  DUMP: DUMP: 89895 tape blocks on 1 tape(s)
  DUMP: DUMP IS DONE
  DUMP: level 0 dump on Tue Jul 28 18:49:06 1992
  DUMP: Date of this level 0 dump: Tue Jul 28 19:02:58 1992
  DUMP: Date of last level 0 dump: the epoch
  DUMP: Dumping /Users3 to standard output
  DUMP: (This should not happen)bread from /Users3 [block 8]: count=-8192,  
got=-1
  DUMP: bad sblock magic number
  DUMP: The ENTIRE dump is aborted.

I then realized that dump wants the raw device and that /Users3 is a NFS mount  
point (!raw :-)), so that is not going to work.

I elected to go with tar for now, since it works on the directory structure  
and not the raw device, but now I am having problems reading what I tared and  
compressed from tape:

host>gnutar -cpPvf - /Users2 | compress -c - > /dev/nrst0
 
   (no problems here)
 
host>mt -f /dev/nrst0 rewind
host>cat /dev/nrst0 | zcat - | gnutar -tf -                          
cat: read error: I/O error
host>mt -f /dev/nrst0 rewind
host>dd if=/dev/nrst0
read: I/O error
0+0 records in
0+0 records out

How can I extract what I put onto the tape??  Did I do the tar->compress->tape  
correctly???  (Btw, if anyone knows an easy way (rsh?) to use dump, instead of  
tar, let me know!)

Any help will be appreciated.

It's a failure at the SCSI interface controller chip level.  In other
words, it's not your tape drive saying the tape is unreadable, it's
your SCSI interface controller saying your SCSI bus is unreadable.
The software can not and will not attempt to recover.

Basically, it is a hardware problem, although it is often as simple as
not having proper termination on the SCSI bus.  Make sure the end of
your bus is terminated, probably by the presense of a terminator
plugged into the "other" connector on the A3070.

I got some 3M 6250s right after I got my 3070.  The warnings were enough to
make me call 3M where the rep said that they had proven in further testing that
the tapes didn't harm the drive.  The tape is thinner, so that could be a
problem, but I haven't had any.  He also said that the only problems they had
run into were with certain tape drives where they switched between 6150s and
6250s all the time.  Since I plan on using 6250s most of the time, he told me
there was nothing to worry about.

To clarify:  The Commodore A2232 will do most standard rates up to
19200 baud plus the unusual rate of 115200 baud.  So if you are going
between two Amigas you can communicate quite rapidly.  The motherboard
serial port also can use this rate.

If you need exactly 38400 on multiple ports you'll have to use
something else.

You're not the only one...  I bought UNIX second hand from somone, and he's been

Well, I've got 16MB of RAM coming in today and a 520MB drive Monday.  So when

> release is planned.

Some people at the CMU computer club were considering it but as far as
I know they didn't get vary far.

A group of people on the internet have been looking at it for a while
now and just recently some real action has begun. If you're interested
in following the progress of this port and are interested in joining
the mailing list I suggest you mail:

It'll be a few months yet. It'll come standard with BSD 4.4 and after
a little more work could do a decent AmigaDOS emulation so you can run
UNIX and AmigaDOS side by side.

The first release will support multiprocessing.

I'm in Australia and 2.1 isn't released here yet.

I'm spoken to the Commodores UNIX support poeple here in Australia and they're
waiting on a release shipped to them from the States.  They don't even know if
it will ever be released here.

The point is I want 2.1,  Commodore Australia can't supply me with,  does
anybody out there know where I can get an upgrade from?

Help!   Please!

	Hi folks,
	
	This is probably a FAQ.

	Could someone educate me about tape drives?

	Which one is best?
	  A3070, which uses DC600 tapes and costs $525 (Safe Harbor).

	  Touchdown 100, uses DC6150/DC6250 tapes and
               costs $499 (Central Cost Software)

	Could also forget tapes and buy a syquest like device.

	You comments is very much appreciated.
