Summary: Need ni520.sys for pc-nfs 4.0


Excuse me for the cross-post,

I have just upgraded to PC-NFS 4.0 from 3.0.

We are using a Micomm ethernet card.  There was a working copy
of a NI5210.sys driver for PC-nfs3.5 but it doesn't work in 4.0

Does anyone know where I can get a driver for this card which
will work with PC-NFS4.0

Please e-mail directly as I will not be able to read news for a couple
of days.

This is a known bug in /usr/lib/shlib.etc/Makefile under 4.1.2.

To fix, change both lines reading:

	ld -assert pure-text `${OBJSORT} lorder-sparc tmp`

to read

	ld -assert pure-text `${OBJSORT} lorder-sparc tmp` -ldl

and rebuild your shared /usr/lib/libc and /usr/5lib/libc (if necessary).

they were getting with runacct.  I have been having the same problems
too.  Here's the message from runacct:

acctmerg: read error file 0
ptacct1.0716: read error file 0
a: read error file 0

I've traced the ptacct error to the line in runacct where it merges
the ctacct and ptacct files together, but am still unable to figure
out why.  This started on just a few machines, but now it seems that
almost every machine is doing this.  I've looked at the tacct files,
and they don't appear to be corrupted.  Everything seems to be working,
but there are still these annoying errors.

Ideas?

Date: 21 Aug 92 16:53:23 GMT
Organization: University Of Kentucky, Dept. of Math Sciences

I always seem to get the really strange problems......

HARDWARE: SPARCserver 4/490
OS RELEASE: SunOS 4.1.1

SOFTWARE INVOLVED: in.telnetd, vi

DESCRIPTION:
	If a telnet connection is established on ttyp0, vi will not
	work properly.  The screen size is either halved or cut to
	4 lines.  According to the ":set all" subcommand of vi, all
	vi options are properly set; the screen addressing is simply
	shot.

	This problem ONLY occurs when the connection is made to /dev/ttyp0.

	The /etc/ttytab entry for ttyp0 is:
	   "ttyp0	none	network	off"
	Note: the same entry is used for all telnet ttys; the problem only
	      occurs on ttyp0.

	The /etc/ttys entry for ttyp0 is:
	   "02ttyp0"

ATTEMPTED SOLUTION:
	   I thought that init might be confused; I verified the /etc/ttytab
	   entries and issued "kill -1 1" to refresh /etc/ttys.  This achieved
	   nothing.
	   
QUESTIONS:
	1) What the heck is going on?
	2) Is there any way to prevent in.telnetd from using /dev/ttyp0,
	   while I look for a fix?
	3) Why do these things happen to me?  8)

In the user's .profile or in /etc/profile, you should also restrict PATH
to a directory that contains only ``safe'' commands.  /usr/rbin is a
suggestion I saw in a sh(1) manual.  Vi, csh, ucb/mail, and more are not
safe because they let you cd, set environment variables, or exec other
commands.  The restrictions, by the way, are only enforced after
/etc/profile and .profile are interpreted.

Subject: Problem with Netgroups

We've just started using net groups on our sun network here and are experiencing
the following error messages when we run exportfs:

re-exported /usr
re-exported /var/spool/mail
exportfs: Full_Clients: unknown host
re-exported /export/exec/kvm/sun4c.sunos.4.1.1
exportfs: Full_Clients: unknown host
re-exported /home
exportfs: Full_Clients: unknown host
re-exported /grav0
re-exported /dept0

The "unknown" host errors are peculiar since the exports file looks like:

/var/spool/mail         -access=Full_Clients
/export/exec/kvm/sun4c.sunos.4.1.1      -access=Full_Clients,root=Full_Clients/home   -access=All_Phillips,root=Full_Clients
/grav0  -access=All_Phillips,root=Full_Clients
/dept0  -access=Full_Clients:wrath,root=caligula

and the error does not occur for for /grav0 or /dept0 even though Full_Clients is
given access to these partitions.

Can someone give me a fuller explaination of what this error means and what might
be wrong?  Is exportfs occasionally forgetting to look for an entry in
/etc/exports in our netgroup map before looking the hosts map?

Thanks,

We've been using BudTool for a couple of months now. We chose it
because we thought it the best to supply our needs.

This is what we wanted:

	1) standard UNIX utilities for tape writing (dump)
	2) it should be able to backup all our machines (Sun,
	   DECstation, HP, SGI)
	3) unattended operation
	4) it should work on X (openwindows)

We bought BudTool with a EXB-10i (the smart stacker). We have a
EXB-8500 inside the stacker. We have a Sun 4/370 as a media server. We
have disks in several machines which are not all Suns.

How has it worked? Mostly well. What does not work?

It doesn't support ULTRIX the way I thought it would. I can back the
disks up but retrieval won't work. (However, I can restore the files
by hand on media server's disks and then rcp them to the ULTRIX
machine.) Delta Microsystems suggested me trying cpio instead of dump
but I haven't had the time to try it yet.

Neither does it support Sun 386i dumps properly. The dumps are OK
(both dump and retrieval) but the file history doesn't work. (Well,
Delta's folks told me BudTool works OK on every Sun. Apparently 386i
isn't a real Sun... :o)

I haven't tried the dumps for HP and SGI yet. 

Am I satisfied with BudTool? Yes.

Would I buy it again? Very likely yes.

(I think BudTool is at its best when used with a stacker. We have to
change the 10 tape box on mondays and tuesdays (0-dumps monthly,
2-dumps weekly and 4-dumps daily). We are now backing up about 12 GB
of disks...)

I have tried to boot it from another disk that was a copy of a 3/60 machine. It
failed with the same messages. I'm quite sure there are no problems with the
disks themselves because they can be mounted normally as non-bootable disk. Now
I suspect that this may be caused by bad installboot files (am I right?). Here
are the checksums (produced by running 'sum') for the /usr/mdec files:

The disk is Micropolis ESDI 382 MB (part no. CS0006-01-6A) with Emulex
controller card (assy no. MD211 6203-04). This disk was bought from Sun and has
Sun logo on the case.
 
I would appreciate it very much if anybody could help me with this problem,
apart from replacing it with Sparcs (we already have a few of them).
 
Bunch of thanks in advance.

P.S. Sorry about this re-post. I forgot to put the information on the disk in

         I want to upgrade from SUN-OS 4.1 and Sun is telling me
   that the current version is available only on CD .  This particular
   sales person also said I would have to install a new driver.
        My problem, is the Sun (IPX) has a VERY bare bones installation
   of the OS. I don't even have enough to rebuild the kernal so I
   could attach a new driver!  The IPX came without the orignal
   installation media or manuals.
        Hopefully, I have been missinformed, but it currently appears
   as though I can not install the new version of the OS without
   first installing a CD-ROM driver, which I believe requires a
   kernal re-build.

        I would very much like you to tell me I am wrong, and would
   apreciate any helpful advice.

        By the way, would the much cheaper CD-ROM from DEC work (yes,
   it too is SCSI), or should I really buy the overpriced SUN CD-ROM 
   that (sales person said) comes without any "freebe" software.
   I wonder too, if the SCSI/CD-ROM from my PC work ?  I suspect that
   not all SCSI ROM drives were created equal, but heck, one can
   hope.

We recently upgraded one of our Indigo's to 4.0.5 from 4.0.1. Now, when the
user runs xview applications (such as mailtool, cmdtool, etc.) they come
up on the Indigo, but when one does a mouse click inside this application,
the entire X-server appears to hang for subsequent mouse events.
Killing the client program "frees" the Server, and the mouse events
are then accepted. 

These applications were done routinely with IRIX4.0.1. 
"Pure" X based applications (such as xterm and xsol) work OK, but
xview applications as mentioned above cause this problem.
Same behavior from both OpenWindows 2 & 3. 

You can duplicate this problem in <30 seconds. On a "vanilla" 4.0.5
machine, do the xhost/DISPLAY stuff, and then fire up an xterm from
the Sun to make sure you did everything right. After confirming that,
fire up a cmdtool/mailtool/whatever and click inside the application.
Click on a few other windows (nothing happens), then kill the client.

I've taken a look at TFM, and would sure like to know a workaround for this.
Thanx in advance - I'll summarize if enough interest and/or eat humble pie
if I've missed something obvious!  ;-)

Organization: RGB Spectrum

After upgrading to version 2 of Sun's pcnfs daemon, I started getting
yp_match errors on the console of the server where the daemon was running.
Investigating the problem, I discovered ( by adding a little code to
pcnfsd_v2.c ) that the daemon was trying to do a yp match in the map
auto.home for the user name in order to find the user's home directory.
Since we don't yet have the automounter running ( or even installed )
this map does not exist, and yp_match was giving an error.  I have
commented this section of Sun's code out, and things seem to be working
well. 
	My question here is in two parts:
		1) why doesn't pcnfsd look up the home directory in the password 
		   service thereby remaining compatible with non-automounter sites?

		2) why does pc/nfs care anyway?  It dosn't do anything with
		   this home directory information.

Subject: Which Cartidge for QIC-150 -> ANSWER
Organization: Motorola Inc., Cellular Infrastructure Group
Date: Thu, 20 Aug 1992 19:35:47 GMT

I had asked a while ago which tape cartridge
should I use that would allow me the full 150mb
storage promised with my QIC-150 cartridge drive.

The definative answer came from the '1/4" Data
Cartridges - Compatibility & Cross Reference 
Guide' that is produced by 3M.

In this guide, the following information was gleaned.

1) DC6150 cartridges are designed for use with QIC-150 
data cartridge drives and will provide 150mb of
storage.

2) DC6250 cartridges will provide 250mb of storage
on a QIC-150 but were designed for use with the 
QIC-525 drives.  Use on a QIC-150, "may cause
a change in the head wear pattern.  This may cause
increased error rates and reduced head life, expecially 
when using standard and extended length data cartidges
on the same drive."

3) Other cartridge types can be used but are not
quaranteed or certified to work on a QIC-150.  These
are DC600A (60mb), DC615A (15mb) and DC6037 (37mb).
Someone provided me with the analogy that this is 
similar to formating a DSDD diskette as a HD diskette.
This is not quite true.  These cartidge tapes are manufactured
to the same recording densities as the DC6150 cartridges,
but 3M doesn't guarantee that they will work correctly. 

The bottom line, as least according to 3M, is to only
use DC6150 tapes on QIC-150 drives.

This guide is available by calling the 3M Service 
Hotline at 800-328-9438.

You could define your `localhost' as `127.0.0.1' and live happily with that.

Anyway, I'll modify my FAQ-file. :-)

I am running Backup Copilot on a Sparc 1+.

I get message in console that says

opemon: Transfer of data initiated
opemon: Transfer of data interrupted

A dump last week did not finish correctly.  The
messages started after this and continue every 
ten minutes or so.

Question:  How do I stop the messages and why are
they occurring?

Please email with any info,

Thanks,
