Subject: ppp from home NeXT to office Sun
Organization: University of Fl, Department of Statistics
Date: 5 Nov 92 11:53:56


Hello,
	I would like to set up a ppp link between a NeXTstation OS2.1 at
home to the department's Sun network (should have been a NeXT network,
but that's another story).  I was going to hammer out the details this
semester, but, unfortunately, pressure from above regarding my
dissertation has put such time consuming projects off to the side.
(Ain't it always the case? :-)  
	So... is there some very kind soul who can detail the steps
necessary for setting up the connection?  If it is a lot of work to
outline this then, obviously, never mind.  I have the latest (I think)
version of ppp.  I also have all of the RFC's that I could find.
Unfortunately, I haven't had time (and won't) to search through these.
If someone has this I would be most appreciative.  (Maybe even name my
next child (or pet) after you?  :-)  Otherwise, I stick with kermit.  (I
haven't even had enough time to learn zmodem, et al.)

Thank you very much,

Can in the Font directory there are three extra directories that
contain symbolic links to the .font directories. Is it necessary
to include links to these when installing new fonts?

Yeah, we've got NetWare NFS and NetWare for Macintosh (try mounting
the NetWare server over AppleTalk on your NeXT - it's a trip).
NetWare NFS is pretty expensive, so getting it (if you don't already
have it) just to hook up a bunch if NeXT's is probably not worth it.

NetWare kicks ass!

I have the following aliases and want the FROM line in outgoing

uucp-ez@pyrian.com
Ian_Stewart@pyrian.com

these are forwarded to the login account name

for each item received, how do I set the alias out?
Also is the NeXT sendmail.cf case sensitive?
I have seen things like

but I mail to

and it gets there.

Any info is appreciated.

Subject: Questions about nfs-exporting iso9660 cd-rom.
Date: 13 Nov 92 23:39:34 GMT
Organization: Carderock Division, Naval Surface Warfare Center
X-Organization: (formerly David Taylor Research Center)


I have a ISO9660 format cd-rom that I would like to keep mounted and
nfs export to other machines.

Question 1: how do I mount it at boot time so that it stays mounted?

Currently, I can mount it at boot time as long as I load the CDROM
filesystem first (kl_util -l CDROM), but when I log in the workspace
manager insists on ejecting it.  I have tried putting the mount entry
in both the netinfo mounts directory and in /etc/fstab, with
appropriate commands in the /etc/rc* files to mount it either way.
For a 4.3 filesystem, putting it in /etc/fstab instead of the netinfo
mounts directory seems to be enough to keep it permantly mounted (it
worked with the NeXTSTEP 3.0 upgrade disk).  For ISO9660 (cfs)
filesystems this doesn't seem to make a difference.

Question 2: When I nfs mount the disk onto our Sequent, ls -F of a
large directory (from the Sequent) results in each file (actually
subdirectory, if that makes a difference) being listed twice,
beginning with the 100th file.  Has anyone else encountered this
apparent nfs bug?  

This also happens with ls -l, but not with a plain ls, so the problem
seems to be confined to ls options that require a stat(2) system call.

In case all this isn't clear, what I see when I do an ls -F from the
sequent of the nfs-mounted cd-rom is:

subdir001/
subdir002/
subdir003/
subdir004/
.
.
subdir098/
subdir099/
subdir100/
subdir100/
subdir101/
subdir101/
subdir102/
.
.

Listing the same directory on the NeXT doesn't give this wierd
duplication.

Thanks for your help.

Hi.
It seems my posting didn't make it out to comp.sys.next.sysadmin,
so here's a quick repost:

I have just bought a HP Gigabyte drive (HP 97549TF S2)
for my cube.  It's SCSI 2, slow (17ms) and big (full height).

I need to know if it has a cache and how to enable it, which
formatting program is reccommended (I have used TheFormatter with
good results on a Wren), and what configuration you more experienced
sysadmins ;-) reccommend (I'm thinking of partitioning, builddisk
scripts, etc).

It will be sitting in my home machine, and may one day soon 
function as a local archive server for our user group/area,
either over the Net or SLIP.  So I'd like the disk to be set
up for maximum speed.

You could always get Netware NFS.  It's fast!!!!  So fast, it'll rumble!
Even a TurboNeXT can't keep up without slowing Netware server down.  I've
got a SPARC 10 which got chewed up by a 386/33 EISA server, before the 
slow-down patch was installed.  

Then you could just mount the Netware server..

Get a newer sendmail version with the ida enhancement (it is worth the
trouble) and build a xalias file. Then you can have "generic froms".

No, sendmail is not case sensitive. All lookups done in the dbm datafiles
are first fold to lowercase.

Hi,
	If you do a "!ls" shell escape command on a Next machine, it goes into

	Does anyone have the fix for this bug.
	Is there a GNU/public-domain version of less/more that I can easily 
install on a NeXT.
	Thanks,

	As you know:
1. You cannot set the EDITOR environment variable and hope that will influence
the choice of editor in more.  So you use less which has this capability.

	I feel fairly certain that I have the printer settings corrected.   
More ominously, the Printing FAQ says that a special cable (not

When NewsGrazer scans for new news (either because I typed command-N or  
because the "check new news frequency" expired), it goes nuts when there  
is no news. It take up a lot of CPU and slows the machine down to a crawl  
(is it using a lot of DPS resources or something? The cursor is flashing  
around in it a lot). It works fine (and fast) when there is new news.

This happens on a 25mhz NextStation color (21") running 3.0.

So have I configured something wrong? Do I have an old version of Grazer  
(release 2.0, version 72.2) or is there something else going on?

Thanks in advance,

I don't know about booting from the CD-ROM, but you will be able to make a  
basic release 3.0 on the 105MB HD.  You'll be able to install all the language  
material and have about 13MB free on it, if I remember right.  I tried this (my

wouldn't do anything major with it (swapping might be a problem), but it should  
run well enough to use.

Organization: SCIC, Intel Corporation, Beaverton, OR

I've connected an Intel 14.4 kbps modem to my NeXt and used it
successfully with /dev/cua.  Because this modem supports 'hardware'
flow control I tried using /dev/cufa with some drastic results.

I'm certain that the modem is set up for hardware flow control
because I checked it using /dev/cua.  I'm using Kermit to communicate
with the modem... no matter what options I choose for flow control
or baud rate, the device blocks and no data enters the modem... in
fact, kermit blocks so hard after successfully opening the device,
that if it tries to close the device the process becomes unkillable
with a kill -9.  A root reboot command will fail at this point, the
only way to reboot is through the NMI monitor.  A ttclos error is
displayed when kermit tries to close the device.

I'm fairly certain the cable is just fine... standard 8-25 I believe.
Even if the modem doesn't support RTS/CTS or isn't using it, I can't
imagine the cable just leaving those signals floating... the must be
connected.

Any ideas on why hardware flow control isn't working?

I assume you are working on a NeXTStation. You need to access the floppy
in "raw" mode. Use the device /dev/rfd0b. If you just want to look at the
bytes then the 'od' program can be used. See man pages 'man4/fd.4' and
man1/od.1 for more info. Cheers,

I have a next running 3.0 and I'm experiencing something rather annoying

long enough to spew into the window where the co command was started the

seems permanently locked.
               Please alert system administrator


I also have the most recent dist of rcs by GNU and it doesn't behave like
this.  The funny thing is that this behavior only happens on one machine.
Other 3.0 machines aren't as naughty.

Has anyone else seen this happen?  Any tips would be appreciated.

Another old NeXT-Bug, a thousend times reported to NeXT, a thousend time

You can try to start the getty with 'nice' which makes it a bit less annoying,  
but the best would be, not to use disconnected ports.

I'm having this same problem with Adobe Illustrator.  Even when I  
reinstall from the original disks into /LocalApps, the system won't  
recognize .ai files.  Another machine running 3.0 has no problems with AI.

I know all about the Workspace search path and such, and this problem is  
really baffling.  Maybe I have a corrupted copy of AI, but everything else  
works, so this seems unlikely.

Strange...

You have something like (this is from memory)
/LocalApps/Adobe_Illustrator1.03.app.
Change its name to Adobe_Illustrator.app, leaving out the numbers.

Then the program file within it will appear in the brower as
Adobe_Illustrator1.03 (or some such).  Change its name, too, to
remove the number.  

Then it will work.  (You may need to log out and in, or some other
silly magic, too.)
