Subject: How to change number of pty's?
Organization: University of Colorado, Boulder
Date: Wed, 14 Oct 1992 03:57:00 GMT

I would like to increase the number of pty's on aix3.2
on an rs6000/320.  The problem is that I always get that
the pty is busy, and I am not allowed (via smit) to change
the number.  I thought of the following possible method:
change the pty to be unavailable at the next reboot, reboot,
change the number, change to be available at the next
reboot, reboot.  Will this work?  Is there an easier way?

I'm probably going to regret this, but we really do need a FAQ.

So, send me any questions (and preferrably answers, too) that you can
think of which are FAQ fodder.

Hopefully in a couple of weeks I can start posting a FAQ list, and we
can cut out some of the repeat questions.

Subject:    Limiting Logins on the RS/6000

What is a nice way to keep all but a list of specified users
from being able to log into an RS/6000.
This would be useful for servers that would not have interactive
users.

The two ways that I have tested so far are the /etc/nologin file
and a script in /etc/profile.  Both of these ways have drawbacks
such as using the /etc/nologin file only permits root login at
the console if secure console is turned on.  Using /etc/profile
will not work if users can change their login script to /bin/csh.

Guys,

Problems with AIX for RS/6000...

If you were given the option of somebody building tools that will help you
in figuring out problems with installation, hardware, software etc, what
kind of tools would you want.  

If you have any suggestions could you mail them to

Subject: What happens at startup
Organization: Enterprise Data Systems Incorporated, Appleton WI
Date: Thu, 15 Oct 1992 10:42:09 GMT


I am new to the world of AIX.  I have just assumed some 
responsibility for administering the system where I work.  It is a 
very small network (thank God) and noone seems to know much about 
it.  It is running on an RS/6000 with several PC's connected using 
PC-Xview.

I am trying to understand what exactly happens when a user logs 
in.  What files on the RS/6000 get run and in what order.  I am 
trying to trace through all the programs because I would like to 
modify how the interface works.  I am having difficulty with this 
because as I said, there isn't anyone around who really 
understands it.

Thanks for any help!

We've seen this here all too often.  After hundreds (thousands?) of patches
(to 3.2.2 and perhaps beyond) we don't get the unkillable X anymore,
but still get console hangs (on a gt4x, btw).  Curiously enough,
"clear > /dev/hft" used to often cause the console to unhang,
but with the current set patches this causes the machine to flash 888.
Unclear if this is an improvement.

  Backup by inode is essentially the Berkeley /etc/dump.
You'll find that the backup occasionally aborts
cryptically under any abnormal condition.  The reason for
this is that rsh does not supply the remote command with a
/dev/tty, which is required by backbyinode.  The other
problem is that /etc/backup will not be able to handle end
of tape conditions since output is going to a pipe.

  The proper way to do this type of backup is via
telnet/rlogin and rdump.  But even with this, you still
will find difficulty trying to restore rootvg filesystems
from your tapes.  See the notes in
pub/rs6000/rootvg.restores on uvaarpa.Virginia.EDU via
anonymous ftp.

I think its gto-2i, but i could be wrong; i just work on 'em.. i don't name them!
Anyhow, PDGS will utilize the 2i hardware; the AntiAliasing performance increases
quite a bit.  In fact, PDGS was the driving force for the AntiAliasing performance
improvement.

I believe that you have to order the gto-2i to get this.

Catia will take advantage of the increased shading performance, but not the
 antialiasing; Catia doesn't do antialiased lines as far as i know.  In any 
 event, the 2i will not interfere with any existing apps; its changes are 
 transparent to the api interface.

It sounds as though your /etc/security/mkuser.sys file has been altered.
What you describe should not be happening, and if it is happening on an
unaltered system, it is certainly a bug.  But I've never seen it occur
on the systems we have set up here, so I'd suggest you double check that
file before calling 1-800-IBM-SERV.

When setting up an auditing system, you should select events to be audited from
the list in /etc/security/audit/events.  New events may also be added to this
file.   What I would like to know is if there is anywhere where the complete set
of all auditable events is defined?

Thanks,
Frank

Curious, does anyone know if the CDROM drive on the RS/6000 is ISO-9960
filesystem format standard, ie. cdrfs is ISO-9960 file format.

I would like to be able to mount a Photo CD.  I wonder if it'll work.

Subject: APAR c12 is incomplete!

APAR c12 was shipped to me on 5 diskettes: it brings the c compiler to:
 	IBM AIX XL C COMPILER/6000  VERSION 01.02.0000.0016

The instructions in the README file are incomplete, if you only follow 
the directions in the README file you will *not* install the newer version
of cpp that comes with the APAR. The instructions for installing cpp
ended up in the xlccmp2.sum file, which normally contains checksum info.

I followed the instructions in README and encountered no errors or sign
of a problem, however cpp was not installed by these instructions. In 
order to complete the install you need to look in the file xlccmp2.sum:

[133] root@sampson% tail xlccmp2.sum
 
 TO INSTALL:
 installp -qa -d'/pathname' -c -N -v -X -D -F xlccmp2 all
 or use smit.
  
  To replace old cpp with most current cpp:
  1) download cpp in binary format into /tmp
  2) mv /usr/ccs/lib/cpp /usr/ccs/lib/cpp.save
  3) mv /tmp/cpp /usr/ccs/lib/cpp
  4) chmod +x /usr/ccs/lib/cpp
  Link between /usr/ccs/lib/cpp and /lib/cpp will be preserved.

I called it in to AIX Support and they agreed that the cpp instructions
should be in a more obvious place (and they will move them to one ;-)).

To check if you have the APAR c12 version of cpp installed you should see:

[134] root@sampson% what /usr/ccs/lib/cpp

What does this APAR fix you might ask? I couldn't tell you, my problem 
turned out to need the "big" bos fix (U409599) under 3.2.0.

 I've compiled and installed X11R5 on our RS6000 320H (AIX 3.2.1), and it worked
fine. Then I messed up with some InfoExplorer databases and reinstalled some of
the packages from the install tapes. Now X11R5 clients fail to open display
unix:0 while local:0 (and of course localhost:0 and `hostname`:0) work fine.
AIXwindows clients work with both the original and the X11R5 server, so I guess
it's not a problem of unix domain sockets in general.
 Did anyone encounter the same problems? Or better yet, does anybody know what
I may have messed up?

Thnx, Andy
