I'd first start by upgrading to NeWSprint 2.0.  There are many bugs in 1.0 and
I don't remember if that is one of them.  So, start out at a base that most of
the rest of us are using.  Then we can help out.

If someone is still running 1.0 and has reverse stacking working, then that
person can answer.  But, you really should be at version 2.0.

Just hook-up your scsi drives in series with the other scsi devices.

We took four 207mb scsi drives, stuck them into a AT style box and daisy
chained them into the scsi bus.  Works great.

The mount command invokes the mount_<fstype> command to mount most file
system types.  It expects to find this command in the user's PATH.  This
means that /usr/etc must be in root's PATH.  Since it works when you're
logged into the system normally, but not when you rsh, I suspect the
problem is that you're setting PATH in root's .login rather than his
.cshrc, since only the latter is executed when you rsh.

We have a MaynStream 2200HS exabyte drive attached to a SPARC II running

error messages after a few files were achived:

st1:	 transport completed with incomplete

Tar then aborted. 

The kernel is generic.

Anyone on the net has any idea what should be done to fix the problem?

Or get the Prime Time Freeware CDs Volume 1 No 2. You get a total of 3 GB

But the handbook lists the Cygnus kit.

This may be a simple question, however, I need your advice:

we consider to set up an official modem access to our SUN cluster. 
Instead of the simple login we would like to add an extra validation 
BEFORE the user can login.

From the description of gettytab I learn that I can call something 
different than the usual "login". I'd like to call a specialized login 
first which allows only ONE userid/password and thereafter the normal 
login process.

Has anybody done this already or knows how to achieve this ? Are there 
any other ways to improve access security ?

I reported this bug to Sun a couple of weeks ago and just got a
patched version os /etc/rpc.yppasswdd.  If you have Sun support you
should be able to get the patched version by refering to bug id
#1092817.  The fix is eventually suppoed to be incorporated into patch

Subject: automounter - help needed in hierarchial mount situation
Organization: CTS Network Services (crash, ctsnet), El Cajon, CA
Distribution: usa
Date: 28 Sep 92 19:57:17 PDT

I have recently run into an interesting situation and need some guidance
on how to correct the problem.  I have read the man pages on the automounter
but they are not very enlightening on this situation.

Ok, on the server system, there are two different EXPORTED partitions:

	/toplevel

	/toplevel/build/other

The new other partitino was moved on the server due to the usual space
considerations. 

I am having difficulties on the client machines in getting the automounter
to mount this type of structure.  The message I get on the system log is
something to the effect of "heirarchial mount".  The use of /toplevel
on the clients seems to work, but /toplevel/build/other is not mounted at
all.

I have a root map for the automounter, giving the information such as:

	...
	/toplevel		server:/toplevel
	/toplevel/build/other	server:/toplevel/build/other
	...

So any suggestions as to what I should be doing or how to format the
map information in such a case?

Thanks for your help.

Mike

This is strange as I have the same sort of configuration and have
duplicate entries on both the udp and tcp ports with my NIS maps showing
both:

rodney@renoir[215]~/src% ypcat services | grep daytime
daytime         13/udp
daytime         13/tcp

root@mondrian[636]/# cat /etc/services | grep daytime
daytime         13/tcp
daytime         13/udp

I am running 4.1.2 (& 4.1.1).

I should note here that several vendors have closed most of the holes
in the Sun automounter; I know ours pretty much doesn't hang now.  The
fixes aren't hard.  Most have been relayed back to Sun for reference,
and I've given descriptions of fixes to a couple of vendors.  There's
no reason to put up with hanging anymore.

Don't use the 100267-07 (or 100266-07) patch on the 4.1.2 release of SunOS.
The following patches are related to the various parts of loading:

 100170-08 : jumbo patch to fix various ld problems
 100257-04 : jumbo patch for ld.so, ldd and ldconfig
 100531-02 : SunOS 4.1.2 domestic libc replacement
 100532-02 : SunOS 4.1.2 international libc replacement

One of the last two will fix your problem as well...

For your information only.  I have successfully formatted a Seagate hard
disk and use it, and the specs that I use is as follows:

  SunOS Release 4.1.1
  SUN 4/75 (Sparc 2) 32Mb memory
  Seagate ST42400N 2.4Gb Hard Disk

After newfs, I have 1.9GB to use which all in one partition as a data
disk.

Subject: SUMMARY: tape stuck in exabyte drive
Organization: MicroUnity Systems Engineering Inc.

To recap, I had an 8mm tape stuck in an exabyte drive, and power-cycling
the drive unit didn't convince it to eject.
Well, I got responses from:

Wayne Mildren           wjm@itd.dsto.gov.au
J.James(Jim)Belonis II  manager@dirac.phys.washington.edu
Tim Evans               fallst!tkevans@uunet.UU.NET
Bill JenningsCheck      bjc@level1.com
Alan Harder             ash@MATH.AMS.ORG
Jason C. Austin         j.c.austin@larc.nasa.gov
Robert Balkenhol        rbalkenh@sookit.jpl.nasa.gov


Most of which said:  take the drive out of the case, and diddle the
small white lever to open the door.  That didn't work.  Bill JenningsCheck
had also siad that he'd had to open the top of the drive, and cut the
tape.  Then it ejected when the drive was powered on the the normal 
eject button pressed.  That worked for me.

Be warned if you ever have to try this: you'll need a set of very small
Torx drivers.  The screws you'll have to loosen are the smallest Torx
screws I've ever seen.
