Shouldn't that be "Serial Line Internet Protocol" ?
Also used with direct connections, without modems. For short distances,
of course.

Most folks don't like man pages because they can grow from a few
megs to almost two dozen megs over time as the pages are formatted.

If you have more time than disk space, you can remove the files and
directories in /usr/man that start with the word cat.  These directories hold
formatted pages and if they do not exist, the formatted man page will not be
saved, thus saving a goodly amount of space.  From then on, every request for
a man page will have the famous Reformatting entry.  Wait...  message and the
man pages will not grow as they are used.

Another variation is to leave just cat1.Z and cat1m.Z directories which
means that the commands (section 1 and 1m) will stay formatted but the
less used sections will be formatted on request. These two sections need
about 3 megs if everything is formatted (see man catman) for a total of
around 11 megs using 1 and 1m formatted and the rest unformatted.

Has anyone tried hooking up an HP 35470A SCSI DAT drive to a series
9000 computer, and in particular, an HP 425(s).  Our mac people have gotten
one of these to do their backups, and since we don't have a method of
directly backing up our lonely 425, I thought I would use this.  (Better than
paying big bucks for QIC or whatever.)  

Only problem is that there doesn't seem to be any driver for this device

You've ran across a tiny glitch in using the /etc/mklp program.  The first 
part of it that does the 'cleanup' changes the group of several lp programs
and files to bin.  If you look at the default group id of lp in /etc/passwd
it is 7, the lp group.  The bin group, however, is group id 2.  In order for
a program to change its effective user or group id, the real user and group id
of the executing user must match the program.  

When you send a print job, it is spooled by the lp user.  The lp program changes
the effective user and group id to your user and group id so you in effect 
send the final job.  Since after running /etc/mklp,  /usr/bin/lp has a group
id of 2 instead of 7, lp can't change the effective group id to 110 (your group)
when you send a job.

The solution is either to change the group id of lp in /etc/passwd to 2, OR
modify the /etc/mklp program to chgrp on the lp programs to lp instead of bin.
I personally like to use /etc/mklp and don't use SAM at all to manage printers.
My solution was to change /etc/passwd instead of mklp.  I have a pretty good
working version of mklp that I've modified quite a bit to add local and 
remote printers.  If you like I could email it to you for reference.

Even more economical -- run catman and then delete the man? pages. 
This will leave only the cat?.Z compressed files behind. 
But keeping all man-pages on a CD-ROM and having sym-lynks might be
even better, if such a CD-ROM were available.

I'm ashamed to ask such a simple question, but can someone tell me how
to bring an HP up to a particular init level at boot.  I know how to
take it down but I can't find any way from the initial boot loader of
specifying which init level to run to.  The reason for this is that I
occasionally mess up the startup stuff on machines so I'd like to boot
single use to fix the mess.  On a Sun I'd just "b -s" on old roms and
"boot -s" on new ones (assuming I havn't nobbled them).  What is the
magic on HPs?

In case it matters (I bet it does), I'm talking about HP9000s700
machines currently running HP-UX 8.07 (hmm HP promised me a copy of
9.0 back in November but so far nothing...)

I've been trying to get 19.3 running and have not suceeded due to Xaw. The
catch 22 is that Emacs wants the archive versions of libraries to build with
the unexec working and there is only a shared library version of libxaw (and
libxmu) on HPUX 8.0x.

I tried to build a non-dumped version (define CANNOT_DUMP) but that failed for
a reason I've not had time to look for yet.

Perhaps I should try building the MOTIF version, I wonder if it references
ANYTHING at all in libxaw or libxmu??

This is described in sufficient detail in the "Concepts for the System
Administrator" manual, so be sure to read that if you want the whole scoop..
BUT.. It's in /etc/inittab. Mine reads:

The first line shows the default (hence the term 'initdefault' :) runlevel.
This is what the system will startup in. This is the only 'safe' way to
do it, but for the impatient or foolhearty, there's telinit, which signals
init directly.

I've got a few 720's that are going to get upgraded to a 735.  They have a few

You may have some sort of weird filename that doesn't list through

  We had this problem twice.  The first time it was becuase the machine
we was using as a dedicated plot server didnt work properly with the
pserver software.  I had several CNE's tell me that some machines 
"just work" and some "just dont" with no paticular reason.  So we
replaced the machine and it worked great.  The other thing to look as
is to make sure you have /NO TABS, that one was very important.

Hi,

I just got a new Seagate ST11200N hard disk for our HP720.

				1054 MB (formatted)

'maxdsiz' can be easily set up to a little over 600 Mbytes.  On 9.0, you
can have larger sizes, but that exceeds your current swap space anyway.

Stacks can't grow above ~80 Mbytes, so 'maxssiz' should be kept below
that, and programs that allocate their big arrays on the stack (local
variables in FORTRAN) will need to have them moved to the data area with
SAVE, or by putting them in COMMON.

'maxtsiz' is for the text area, and I doubt if you've written a program
with more code than the default size.

Just set maxdsiz to 400 Mbytes in SAM.

This statement ONLY applies to Raid arrays!!! I am otherwise VERY happy
with HP-UX 9.0!!

I just got off the phone with the product marketing engineer for the 1350SA.
Serious problems exist on 9000/700 HP-UX 9.0 and 9.01.  HP is working on a
patch, but don't expect it to be available for a month or so.  The patch
will only be for 9.01.  We strongly recommend that 1350SA users stay at 8.0x
until the patch is available.

Please use your normal support contacts (response center, etc) for 
additional information.
