Have you tried 386bsd recently?  Sure, it's still a hacker's paradise,
and I for one would dread having to support a commercial-type site
using it (although it ran perfectly happily on my desktop for over
six months with narry a hiccup), but it has a _single_ 1.2 MB floppy
to test the hardware, _and_ you can then FTP the rest of the distribution
off a friendly achive neary you (yes, the tiny kernel has TCP/IP in it).

So, it _can_ be done.  Now to persuade SCO (or someone similar) to do
it, or to go with 386bsd or Linux.

HOWEVER, most small Unices that I have seen have at least 100MB disks,
and are generally larger (for the accounts databane, or whatever), and
so need _something_ for backup.  Why not tape?  In that case, Open 
Deathtrap ain't _too_ bad, expect that it needs about 150MB of disk
for itself, plus all the clever extras, X11.0 ...

Just to mention that UNIVEL has a special offer for developper

(or is it $895).

We just order it. So that's all I know about UNIVEL.

So for about a week or two, consensys and univel do have

SCO ODT 2.0 is almost that simple.  Stick in a floppy, stick in

Not if you want anything other than a minimal PC without any

additional manuals from Microsloth or others to explain what you

Subject: BSD ftpd doesn't work?
Date: Wed, 16 Dec 1992 03:14:00 GMT
Organization: MCSNet, Chicago, IL

I'm trying to bring up the ftpd from the wustrl archive; the one UUNET uses.
I would like to be able to log connections among other things.

It seems to be dying in the clone socket routines however.  The reason is
obvious; it cannot get back its root privileges to make the priv'd socket.
The odd part is that the following code works as expected:

#include	<stdio.h>
main()
{
	printf("Effective UID = %d\n", geteuid());
	seteuid(100);
	printf("Effective UID after call = %d\n", geteuid());
	seteuid(0);
	printf("Effective UID back to root = %d\n", geteuid());
	exit(0);
}

This proves that the seteuid() call works as expected, as it returns (when
run as root):

Effective UID = 0
Effective UID after call = 100
Effective UID back to root = 0

Therefore, we can do the seteuid(0) call and get what we expect out of it.

It could be failing somewhere else, but I don't think so.  

Any ideas out there?  Anyone got a patched version of this that they
wouldn't mind me having?

On the same note, does anyone have a patched "telnetd" which can display an
"issue" file yet also has 8-bit transparency.  The bsd version is nastily
intertwined with everything else in the release, and I don't feel like
transferring the remainder of the net2 kit!

Thanks in advance,

This actually has to do with the fact that anonymous FTP runs while
chroot()'ed to the anonymous FTP directory.  Since symbolic links are
intrepreted during access and by that time the anonymous FTP directory
had already become the root directory, what the links originally pointed
to are unreachable.

Empty /var/spool/mail on the clients to make it a mount point, place the

kill the sendmail daemon on the clients (NOT THE MAIL HOST!) also comment 
it out of rc.local on all clients.

That should get you started.

ESIX (4.0.4) has a nice emergency repair mechanism on their floppy
version (I don't know whether all SVR4's of that vintage have that
feature, or whether ESIX added it).  I've used it several times, works
quite nicely (it appears to replace /etc/init, inittab, passwd, and
other key files with known-good ones).  After rebooting, you can 
reconfigure and rebuild your original system, and try again.

I don't necessarily disagree with your point, though.

Dell has fixed the rawip problem as well under Dell V.4 2.2, so that

Ah, but UNIX does more than DOS. OK, let's go up to the next level: OS/2
or Windows or MacOS:

The ability to install the system on a hard disk without knowing anything
about computers not listed in the manual, reboot, and come up with a friendly

There are other personal computer operating systems that have been more
successful in terms of systems sold than UNIX. Yes, they're cheap. Yes,
that's a definite requirement. The other two aren't.

Date: Sun, 13 Dec 1992 19:31:22 GMT

While trying to compile and install tayllor uucp I stumbled over a very strange  
behaveiour of the dirent directory reading routines (opendir and readdir).  
Basically what's happening is that a directory is opened:

static DIR *topdir;
..
func1()
{
	topdir = opendir(".");
..
}

Then, in a second function of the same module the directory entries are being  
read in a loop:

func2()
{
	struct dirent *dp;
..
	for(;;){

		dp = readdir(topdir);
		perform(dp->d_name);
..
}

Now, for some strange reason the first two characters of the entries are  
missing. Actually they are there, just at (dp-d_name[-2])! In order to  
reproduce the problem I tried to write a program which just reads the current  
directory. There it works flawlessly. I added a few debugging statements  
through which I have been able to conclude that the structure itself really is  
identical including the offsets for dp->d_name...

I can only assume that there has to be something depending on additional  
libraries (I have to use -lsocket -lnsl -lucb). Can anyone confirm?

BTW. I use Olivetti SVR4 (Olivetti release 2.1.1)

This is a basic facet of the way that ftpd limits access to only the
files and directories below ~ftp.

This uses chroot(2) to ~ftp which means that the file system which your
anon ftp session sees contains nothing above ~ftp. This is why you have
to have a /bin, /etc etc in this directory.

All absolute file accesses (e.g. automounter symlinks to /tmp_mnt/foo/bar) are
relative to this ftp root, not the real file system root. Meanwhile the
automounter which obviously cannot be expected to know about chrooted applications
mounts the file on the real /tmp_mnt and creates a symlink.


The only fixes for this are:

   1) hack your ftpd to remove the chroot (but anon ftp now has access to your
      entire file system)

   2) Use hard mounts for stuff under ~ftp

Unfortunately this is based on top 2.1, and has numerous problems (although
it is a starting point).

I have a version of top 2.5 which I am willing to supply.  I plan to post it

Don't think so but wouldn't it be nice to have a /etc/fs/dos-file , so that you

anonymous ftp?

I have files on 4 differenet filesystems, I'm open for ideas on how
