We are trying to use the version found in the Unix System

We found a couple of bugs.

First, in the function errexit() there is a duplicated fragment:

	if((fd = popen(cmd, "w")) == NULL)
	{
		return;
	}

the first occurrence has the buffer cmd uninitialized, and is
useless.

Second, in the function checkdoer() there is a nasty bug:
the following fragment succeds for every occurrence of all* !!!

	if(strncmp(cp0,"all",3) == 0)

we change it to:

	if(strcmp(cp0,"all\n") == 0)

:The mailmsg() routine has
:    char cmd[80];
:    (void) sprintf(cmd,
:        "/usr/ucb/mail -s \"*SECURITY* %s@%s tried to execute %s\" %s ",
:        user,hostname,*argv,ALERTMAIL);
:If I'm counting correctly, there are 27 bytes available to hold user, hostname,
:the command attempted, the ALERTMAIL userid, and the trailing '\0'.  And
:hostname is declared as MAXHOSTNAMELEN long.  What happens when
:sprintf overflows?

We change the mail routines to use /bin/mail (have it on all our
unix boxes), but /bin/mail doesn't support the -s "Subject" syntax,
so another modify to the sources, and this solve the problem you
checked, as follow:

    (void) sprintf(cmd,"/bin/mail %s",ALERTMAIL);
	if((fd = popen(cmd, "w")) == NULL)
	{
		return;
	}
	fprintf(fd,"Subject: *SECURITY* %s@%s -> %s\n",
			user, hostname, *argv);
	fprintf(fd, "%s@%s ha tentato di eseguire\n\n",
			user, hostname);
	while(argc--)
	{
		(void) fputs(*argv++, fd);
		(void) fputc(' ', fd);
	}
	(void) fputs("\n\nGiusto per farlo sapere.", fd);

Subject: disk space strategy suggestion for small groups
Organization: Stanford Univ. Earth Sciences
Date: Wed, 22 Jul 1992 15:58:16 GMT

In light of the recent postings about how to tell users about
full file systems, I thought I'd share my strategy for handling
disk space problems.

The most common approach is to wait until the disk is full, and
then send a message to the disk hogs telling them how much disk
space they are using and to clean up. Or to post a list of the
top disk hogs.

There are several inadequacies with this approach. First, I don't
want the disks to ever get totally filled up. Second, many users 
don't know enough about Unix to find all their files efficiently.
Third, the user with 10 Mb of disk space that hasn't been touched
in a year is more guilty than the person who filled up the disk
with 100 Mb of new data yesterday, in my opinion.

Part of my strategy is to run a program that makes a list of
each user's files that exceed a certain threshold in terms of
both size *and* age, and then mails that list to the user, with
a message asking them to look over the list and decide which files
they really need to have on the system. The program is run from
cron on a regular basis (not too often, or the message gets ignored,
yet not too infrequently or the disk fills up).

This appears to work with my group, but I have only dozen or so 
regular users, whom I know personally, so I have no idea how well
it would work in a larger installation - I suppose with a larger
number of users the program would use a significantly greater amount
of resources generating the lists, and then the lists would clog
the mail system. However, for small groups it's a suggestion.

Was there any reason you didn't have cron run a shell script every
5 minutes to chown all the files in the directory to archive? 

A little slower, but less of a security hole, I'd think, if the script 
is tucked somewhere that average users don't have access to, and has
700 or 500 permissions set.

Subject: multiple dumps on EXB-8200 8mm tape
Organization: Equipment Division, Raytheon Company
Distribution: usa
Date: Thu, 23 Jul 92 14:18:33 GMT

I am attempting to develop backup procedures to write multiple files
to a 2.3G 8mm tape.  However my efforts are being thwarted by differences
in the way different systems seem to write the tapes.

I'm writing the procedures so that the script will run rdump from the
machine being backed up, and write to a tape in a remote host.  The other
scenario will be to use dump to write to a local tape (to keep the procedure
generic, is there any problem with using rdump also when writing to a local
tape?)

The problem I have is that when I write a tapefile to the non-rewinding
device, and then write another file, when I try to read the files I seem
to have to skip filemarks sometimes.  For example:  If I write a tape on
a SunOS 4.1.1_U1 or 4.0.3 system, I have a tape with several tapefiles.
If I try to read the tape by doing several consecutive 'restore' commands
on the non-rewinding device, the restores after the first one fail -- unless
I do a restore, then a "mt -f fsf 1".  So basically I seem to be getting
extra file marks!

When I do the same exercise on a Harris Nighthawk CX/UX 5.1 (system V R3),
this problem does not occur!

Anyone know of a trick to make this work the same on both systems?  I 
suppose if it is running on the Harris, I could make it write an extra
file makr between files, but that seems foolish.  It would be better if
all of the tapefiles are back-to-back, both on sunos and cx/ux!

Thanks in advance for any ideas on this.

Bill

Hi,

I am trying to set up a connection between 2 v.32bis modems on Sun sparc stations (one is a 
MultiModem MT1432, the other a Practical Peripheral 14400FXSA). The PP is always used 
as dial-in, the MM as dial-out. 

So far we have been able to make both talk at 9600 but only by turning error correction off at 
the originating modem, and even so the setup is flaky (PP picks up the phone very late (sometimes 
not at all, or just as the originator hangs up) even though S0 is set to 1 ring). And when I use tip 
hardwire on the PP and ask it to display its settings, only half a screen is shown. 

Part of the problem (and certainly the failure at error correction/compression) is that both modems 
are set for hardware flow control, whereas I assume the UNIX boxes are set for software control 
(Xon/Xoff). But I have no idea how I can change the UNIX setup to hardware control. 

Any suggestions?

I've been trying to get print accounting going on our lab's SPARC ELC 
and I've been unable to get it working.  I'm not even sure if the 
system will actually support print accounting but from all the subtle
hints that I've found, it appears so. 

What I've done so far is put the following in the printcap for the
printer in question:

        . . .
        :pc#1000:\
        :af=/var/spool/cclihp/accounting:\
        . . .

which sets the cost per page/foot and the accounting file.  I've even
created the accounting files (just in case lpd wouldn't), and nothing 
has been written to them.  Of course, pac reports nothing since the 
accounting files are empty.

Any ideas?

Then instead of deleting the mail, use compress(1), or pack(1), or arc(1)
to make it take up less space, and send email to the owner that some of his
mail has been compressed to conserve disk usage.

What are the pro's and con's of Exabyte (8mm) and DAT (4mm)
for use as backup device for a Sun SPARCserver??

I remember reading something about how different tape technologies
applied the tape in diffrent amount of degrees around the tape head.
DAT used the least number of degrees, compared with Sony 8mm and VHS,
and that then would qualify DAT for being the technology that wear out
the tape least frequently. (read this in a audio/video magazine)
If this is true does it then make the DAT tape technology more
reliable than 8mm Exabyte??

Anybody know anything about this, and/or have any experince??

Thank's in advance, I will summarize to the net if enough responses.

You need to make certain that accounting was enabled at the time the
command exited.  The code for exit() checks to see if accounting is
turned on and will write out the accounting record if and only if
accounting is enabled at that time.

It may be that accounting hasn't been turned on just yet (I run
accton almost dead last in my /etc/rc) and so you aren't seeing it.

It may also be that your accounting file is being removed/replaced
at some later time in the /etc/rc file.  At the top of /etc/rc you
might try starting accounting on some file other than /usr/adm/pacct
or its SVR4 equivalent.

performance of a particular configuration.  Right now we have SLCs and
IPCs, dataless and diskless, mono and colour, as well as a 670MP

We would also like some software to help evaluate X-windows and/or

Said software should be easy to install and require minimum

Anybody have any recommendations?
