Hello


Some time back, I had posted a query about our Laser printer printing  
Postscript code instead of printing the graphics in the file. It was on a  
Panasonic KXP4455 printer. I had queried whether the characters "%!" at line  
one of the file have to be changed to "%!PS-Adobe-2.0". The people who replied  
said that any file beginning with "%!" should qualify  as a postscript file.

After some experimentation, I found that replacing "%!" with "%!PS-Adobe-2.0"  
did solve my problem. Maybe it is a anomaly on this printer. The tech support  
person at Panasonic did not even know what was postscript, so I cannot further  
comment on this. Hope it helps somebody.

In Jan '92 we got a sparc2 running SunOS 4.1.1 Rev B and with it got a 
1.3GB Disk Drive Enhancement CD containing software that needed to be 
installed in order for us to use all 1.3 GB of the external disk we
ordered.  This install reconfigures the kernel and after the install
we now have a /sys/sun4c/GENERIC/vmunix.pre-Sun1.3GB file (the old kernel).  
The install changes some other files, among  them /etc/format.dat.  Because 
we chose to save the old format.dat we have an /etc/format.dat.pre-Sun1.3GB 
file. If you don't have these files, or similar, I would guess you are only
using at most 1.GB of you disks.

I have been told that SunOS 4.1.2 already has this capability.

   It's typical.  It's essential to have enough swap space to put a
core file into if the system panics.  (I guess that 2x allows for a
core image and whatever the machine needs to panic?)

The rsh/rlogin (actually rcmd(3)) protocol works basically like this:

    The client connects to the server using a reserved port
    as source address
    The client transmits a package containing:
	<<port#\0user-on-server\0user-on-client\0cmd>>

    If the /etc/hosts.equiv file or ~/.rhost file allow access to
    user-on-client@client for user-on-server, the command is
    executed.


>None of the accounts have a .rhosts file, and hosts.equiv has only only line

I guess that the pc always sends a package containing two time the
username on the server (i.e., brian & brian, instead of brian & rd)
This would explain the effect you see.

>as a test, I logged directly onto our sun server as 'rd' and tried

The Sun properly identifies it's local user as rd, not brian.

>my question is why is it that PC-Xview can do it, and SunOS can't

Bug in PCXview, but don't get all mad at them. If you
trust hosts on the same network where the PCs live, fixing
that bug won't help you one bit.

Solution: remove the + from /etc/hosts.equiv (you should do that
in any case. Now I can simply create an account rd or brain on one
of my machines and `su that-user -c 'rlogin you-host -l that-user',
if you're on the internet).

In an PC environment rcmd(3) style authentication should not be used.
You can only get away with it in an environment were all
machines are under strict control and/or there are extra
measures taken to prevent outside access via rcmd(3).
Environments like these are increasingly uncommon.

In SunOS it's /usr/lib/rsh (actually, it's any login Bourne shell whose
name begins with "r" -- /usr/lib/rsh is just a link to /usr/bin/sh).

try this (change your .openwin-menu our your system wide menu file,
usually under /usr/openwin/lib) :

"OLWM Tools" MENU
    "Command Tool..." DEFAULT   exec /usr/etc/setsid -b cmdtool  
    "Text Editor..."            exec $OPENWINHOME/bin/xview/textedit
    "File Manager..."           exec $OPENWINHOME/bin/xview/filemgr
    "Mail Tool..."              exec $OPENWINHOME/bin/xview/mailtool
    "Calendar Manager..."       exec $OPENWINHOME/bin/xview/cm
    "Clock..."                  exec $OPENWINHOME/bin/xview/clock

    "Print Tool..."             exec $OPENWINHOME/bin/xview/printtool
    "Tape Tool..."              exec $OPENWINHOME/bin/xview/tapetool
    "Binder..."                 exec $OPENWINHOME/bin/xview/binder
    "Snapshot..."               exec $OPENWINHOME/bin/xview/snapshot
    "Icon Editor..."            exec $OPENWINHOME/bin/xview/iconedit
    "Performance Meter..."      exec $OPENWINHOME/bin/xview/perfmeter
    "Shell Tool..."             exec /usr/etc/setsid -b shelltool

    "Demos..."                  exec $OPENWINHOME/bin/hyperview xnewsdemo.hv
"OLWM Tools" END PIN

note the changes for cmdtool and shelltool. actually i think this is
mentioned in the manual for NCDware ...

Hi there,

I have a problem with olwm/olvwm and X-terminals.
I use the ncd version of xdm for login-service on the Sun's. Thats
sun4 running SunOS 4.1.1. Well, here's the problem:

- olwm (olvwm) seems to startup fine (menu's work and all)
- whenever I try to startup a shelltool or cmdtool, it's csh is stuck.
  I looked a bit around, and it seems the csh doesn't get a
  controlling tty. ps states a ? instead of a p-whatever.

Does this look familiar to anyone? I would like to be able to run a
OpenLook X on the X-terminals.

Any ideas would be great,

Ronald.

PS: I'm NOT trying to run OpenWin on the X-terminals. I stripped xnews

Check to make sure that the shell you are using is in /etc/shells.
(Create it if it doesn't exist, and put /bin/sh, /bin/csh in there too)

Probably because root's shell is /bin/csh, which is a valid shell.

Date: 25 Sep 92 23:03:12 GMT
Distribution: comp
Organization: Spectron MicroSystems, Inc., Santa Barbara,  CA


We're having a problem sending back replies to a domain in Ireland (uunet!
domain).  The thing is that the full delivery routing is already hidden once the
e-mail reaches us, and the part of the address left is:our_relayhost!domain!user.
So when we send a reply from the mail command mode, the reply message is sent to
that already trimmed address. 

As a workaround to this problem, we set up a passwd account and a home directory
for the Ireland user.  In addition, we put the return address in the .forward 
file.  Then we asked recipients of the Ireland user's e-mails to send a Cc of 
their reply.  That way the Cc would be sent to the address in the user's
.forward file.

Note that we do not have any problem initiating e-mails on both ends nor do we 
have problems with other e-mails.  Ireland however can send replies to us using 
the address format:mailhost.uucp!user.  Is this something that we have to fix 
at our end (i.e., reconfigure sendmail.cf)?  We have SunOs 4.1.3 on our 
mailhost which is a SPARCSystem 330.

Can anyone explain what's going on and what we can do about this problem?  Your 
help will be very much appreciated.

In my experience, ypbind almost always binds to another machine rather than
itself.  I'm not sure of the precise mechanism whereby broadcasts get back
to the transmitting machine, but it's obviously not as quick as reaching
other machines.

Our solution is that our NIS servers run "ypbind -ypsetme" and then do
"ypset localhost", so that they'll always be bound to themselves.

I'm currently operating a system in this configuration:

  SunOS Release 4.1.1
  SUN 4/20FM-8 (SLC) 16Mb memory
  Seagate ST41200N 1.2Gb Hard Disk
  sd0: <CDC Wren VII 94601-12G cyl 1824 alt 3 hd 15 sec 74>
  default "mkfs" parameters supplied by Sun Install

The disk is being used as follows:

  Filesystem  kbytes    used   avail capacity  Mounted on
  /dev/sd0a    16671    9121    5882    61%    /
  /dev/sd0g   166863  133745   16431    89%    /usr
  /dev/sd0d   600750  443449   97226    82%    /var/spool
  /dev/sd0e   100111   62278   27821    69%    /ppl
              ------  ------  ------    ---
  totals      884395  648593  147360    81%

Will this "> 1gig  Disk  Problem"  affect  the  system  described
above?  And if so, what might the effects be? Should I be search-
ing for appropriate patches also? Should I be planning to upgrade
the OS? All informed opinions appreciated.

Thanks much,

Ray.Lampman
