Hmm.  I don't remember if I replied to this thread or not, but..

Back when I was still running A/UX, I had a QIC-150 tape hanging off
my mac.  I compiled GNU tar with 8k fixed size blocking.
I didn't have any trouble reading Sun or Solborne tapes in
QIC-24 or QIC-150 format.  I just had trouble writing QIC-150
format since the tc driver didn't handle it correctly.

My 2 cents worth.

Nope... Unless you Restart or Shutdown and re-power-up. Even then, you

LS.

I have this awkward problem:

when I start up A/UX 3.0 from the Finder, I end up in a console, without
Finder access.

The error messages are:

scn_open: request for write,		and somewhat later:

Can't open user interface device
/dev/uinter0: invalid argument

Error with login: exec'ing getty instead.

Does this sound familiar to someone?  /dev/uinter0 does exist and has the

I do not understand the 'invalid argument' bit. Hope you can help me.

I have problems with the commands ping, ftp and telnet under AUX 3.0.
When I invoke one of these commands, it takes several minutes before
the machine really does connect to another machine, This is so regardless
of whether I use a symbolic name or a numeric ip address. With the help
of a sniffer I could see that name server access is as fast as one could
expect. The time is spent after the command knows the numeric ip address.
This is my first contact to AUX, but on other UNIX machines all commands
react spontaneously when you use a numeric ip address.

Any help is appreciated!

Now that you have _more_ memory, chances are that you'll need _less_ swap
space. I'd stay where you are since it's a big pain to repartition
everything just to decrease the Swap size.

I would guess that if you had moved into /foo, then done a:

	$ find . -print | cpio -pdmuva /

that things would be restored Okay... it's still a major pain though.

I also wonder if one could use Eschatology? After all, it's simply a
"hidden" file system. If one could convince A/UX Startup to use it (Esc.)
as the bootup file system, then restore onto the real root file system...
Of course, you would have to make sure that the needed files where available
in Esc...

I would guess (and hopefully be pretty dang close :) that the problem

Look at kconfig(1m) to see how to adjust this value... Look at 'netstat -m'

One of these "minor" exceptions is the start-up disk, which reads as the
disk from which MacOS originally booted.  Some applications (e.g. the Chooser
document supplied with UltraScript for the Macintosh) look here to try to
locate the active System Folder, and get the wrong answer when running under
A/UX.

Unfortunately not...

A/UX Startup requires that it be run in a particular memory location
and running Sys7 prevents this (since it isn't available).

What you can do is install a very small Sys6 System Folder and use something
like System Switcher to bless Sys6 when you want to boot A/UX.

Help, 

Maybe I'm missing something big here, but we've got a number of AUX 3.0
MacIIci's that I recently reconfigured and answered yes to the newconfig
query of wether or not I wanted to use NIS for sendmail aliases.  

Well that worked just dandy but now It seems to be locked into that. ? I've
run newconfig again and said "No" to use NIS sendmail aliases and created
my own aliases file run sendmail -bi and things still go to the aliases on
the NIS server - ( NIS Server is a SparcServer 3/90 ) 

What the heck? - is this something to do with the sendmail.cf ???
If so what do I need to do?   Running NIS for passwords is mandatory.
It would be nice to use it for sendmail EXCEPT for the root aliases. I'd
like to have those set to something different.  Anyway, It's fairly easy to
mirrot the user part of the aliases data base so if the above is not
possible i'll do that.  But in the meantime I can't get "it" to let go of
the old aliases fiell on the SparcServer w/o nuking NIS.

I bought a IIvx also in October with great expectations of AUX, cdrom
quicktime... etc etc... 

Let me tell you a couple of facts...

The IIVX will not run aux for a number of reasons:
	video (has basically the lC video)
	cdrom (cd300 not supported by aux yet)
		while you can install it (I think so anyway), it will not run
		under aux.
	The VX requires 7.1 os which requires a lot of futzing
		around with aux install disks.

Do as I did and drop back to the IIci... you will be much happier..

But do not get a new 16" monitor/ E-Systems accellerated graphics 
	card bundle that Apple sells if you want to run aux.. it too is
	not compatible with aux.. it will not boot the kernel.

Try replacing the E-Machines card with a RasterOps card.  I previously had a
RasterOps 8 bit card that worked fine until I decided to purchase a 24 bit
E-Machines card.  I have now gone back to the RasterOps card for running A/UX.

BTW, I have a IIci with a 16" monitor.

A couple of people have made the helpful suggestion of creating a minimal
A/UX on a seperate 80MB (or whatever) hard disk.  As much as I appreciate
the attempt to help, this isn't very useful.  I've already shelled out
enough $$$ for my system without dropping another couple of hundred for a
hard disk I won't use except for emergencies.  Thanks to the person who
pointed out that one needs to use kconfig on the /unix in the emergency
partition to tell it to run off that partition and not the real root.
It worked.  I am now in the middle of putting together a package to create
an emergency filesystem on a specified partition.  Maybe Jim can put it on
jagubox with the other goodies when I'm done.

I think it could be a bug in xterm. I noticed this also, but my fix was to
put the xterm into 8 bit mode using stty ( I don't remember the flag, and
I'm not in A/UX at the moment). If you are going to use cu in an xterm,
just remember to use istrip or 8 bit mode, or include the command in your
.cshrc (or .profile) file.
	See ya later,
