A few weeks ago we purchased a Tahiti 2 and our reseller insisted
that we should also get a CMD SCEA card which cost about $800 extra
and sits in between the Maxoptics and other SCSI devices in the chain.
Our configuration works with no problems. I tried bypassing the
SCEA card just to see what will happen with the Maxoptics and 
eventhough the 5000/240 recognizes the drvive in the prom mode, as
soon as Ultrix boots, there is no trace of the device. Did we
really waste $800 on the SCEA card instead of changing a jumper?

Hi netters,

Hope some kind soul has a solution, I need it quickly ...

I've downloaded pcomm (a communications programm) and need to transfere a file  
with zmodem (that's all the receiver, a PC, understands).

I've successfully compiled and run pcomm 1.2.2 on a AT&T system. I'm having no  
problems in compiling the software on a VAX with Ultrix 4.2.

I can run pcomm in local mode and do all the settings, but as soon as I connect  
to a serial line, I can no longer return to the local mode. That is, I can't  
redail, change settings or do anything that requires the CTRL-A command  
sequence. All that happends when I press CTRL-A and a command ist that the  
status line reapears, but no menus show up. I can't exit from the program  
anymore!

A ps -ax showed the following entries:

17757 p0 I     0:03 pcomm
17758 p0 S     0:00 pcomm_input 3 -1 1 0 0 NOT_DEFINED /tmp/pcomma17757

I'm quite sure that the NOT_DEFINED is causing problems.

I've tried several differen config.h versions, but none seem to work.

Thank you very much for any info, even if it is a pointer to something better.

-Robert

- the content of /etc/passwd is printed
- the content of /etc/passwd is printed again

Date: Thu, 8 Oct 1992 22:19:26 GMT

I've noticed that dxmail has a tendency to create zero-length
files in my mail folders, especially after I've deleted some
messages from the middle of the list and then attempted to 
renumber the messages in the folder.

I notice the problem when I select 'renumber' from the menu, and
the renumbering doesn't take (i.e., if I issue a 'rescan', the
message numbers still have gaps).  Note that committing has no
effect.

If I manually delete these zero-length files from the shell window,
then the renumbering will work just fine.

Anyone else seen this problem?  It's not a big deal, just slightly
irritating...

You probably have the file system exported with root remapped to
nobody.  chgrp is a suid root program and therefore won't work if root
isn't given root privs on the NFS volume.  Remedy this by putting -r=0
in the /etc/exports file for each volume, ie:

/export/home -r=0 station1 station2

Hi,

I'm double posting, I know, but this hurries ...


Is there any easy-to-use zmodem software for Ultrix (VAX) with which I can  
upload a file to a host over the telephone lines?

I need to connect to the modem, dial and then select the appropriate entry in a  
menu presented by the other side before I can actually start the uploading.

Thanks for any pointers.

The original multi-cpu extension was done by Robert Evans, Dept of
Computing Maths., University of Wales College of Cardiff
(robert@cm.cf.ac.uk), while I added on top of it, in the per process
display, display of control terminal and cpu on which it is running, as
well as 3 new commands--selection of displayed processes by controlling
terminal, cpu number or user name.

This was done for top-2.5 and posted a while back as the "enhanced top-2.5"
and it runs well under ultrix 4.2c. I was not aware top-3.0 was out nor in
which ways it differed from 2.5..., so I did not port my patches.

It would nice if we had the spare engineer to go through and update
each file, but for ULTRIX at least, that's a fairly limited resource
these days and there are more important things to be worked on.  What
I have found works reasonably well, though is that if you make a
specific request via an SPR the chances are good that file will
show up fixed a future version.  Bad timing on your part may
mean that it won't be the next version you see, but you don't
have any control over that since you don't know our internal
schedules.

Plus there are a lot of files that probably need to fixed, many that
people don't care about.  Picking at random a file from /usr/include;
vpreg.h has had this change made.  Does it NEED to have this change
made?  If you had to choose between vpreg.h and resource.h (which is
fixed in V4.3 by the way), which would you want.  On my V4.2 system
under /usr/include there are 416 include files.  I'll bet that quite
a few of them in /usr/include/io/uba haven't been changed and probably
don't need to be changed.

As I did with someone else recently, if you'll send me the list of
files that need work, I'll double check against V4.3 and submit our
internal version of an SPR for you.

I think you are a little deeper than the original poster intends.

His sendmail.cf probably has a rule to look at /etc/password and checks
to see if a user is in there to determine is it is a local user.  If this
feature is turned on, then only local aliases are supports (as the error
message says when you try to build the aliases database under such
conditions).  

This "feature" of sendmail is so that you can send mail to "username" and if
"username" isn't in your /etc/passwd file, you can send it off to some
relay machine which knows about everyone.  

We don't use it because of the limitation on aliases.  It is easier
to rdist /etc/aliases to get this feature.

Mrs. Fletcher was the lady in the commercial for emergency intercoms

They could press a button, and a person at a central monitoring site
would talk to them and find out if the problem needed immediate
attention.

In the commercial you see her on the floor at the bottom of the stairs

	Can somebody please explain to me how tset a) works, and b) is
supposed to work, on Ultrix 4.2a?  Take a look at the following script
(slightly edited, but just to remove some typos and control characters).  My
comments are inserted in [brackets].

Script started on Tue Oct 13 20:50:04 1992
mchip00> tty
/dev/ttyp1
mchip00> grep ttyp1 /etc/ttys
ttyp1   none            network
mchip00> printenv TERM
vt100

[I'm on a pty, with default type "network", but my TERM environment variable
has been set to vt100]

mchip00> tset -
vt100

[very good; tset figures out I'm on a vt100 by looking at $TERM]

mchip00> tset - -m network:foo
Type foo unknown

[but here, it thinks I'm on type "network", presumably by looking in
/etc/ttys to find the default type]

mchip00> tset - -m vt100:foo
network
Erase is Delete
Kill is Ctrl-U

[and here, it still thinks I'm on type "network", but apparantly the failed
mapping test against type vt100 triggered it to print the "Erase is Delete/
Kill is Ctrl-U" message, for reasons I can't fathom]

mchip00> exit

	I'm totally confused.  What I want to set up is basically, "if the
terminal type is "network", assume you're on a vt100, otherwise believe the
$TERM environment variable".  I come into the machine in one of three ways:
1) via a DECwindow on the console, 2) using NCSA Telnet (which does vt100
emulation) on my Macintosh in the lab, or 3) from a dialup terminal server,
which also connects using telnet, in which case I'm using a vt100 clone dumb
terminal.

	The DECwindow apparantly emulates a VT330, and sets $TERM to vt330
before my .login is executed (if I put "echo $TERM" as the first line in my
.login, it prints "vt330").  Unfortunately, if I do "tset -m network:vt100"
in my .login, it seems to ignore the $TERM and thinks I'm on type "network",
just because that's the default type in /etc/ttys.

	Does this make any sense at all?  What do I need to do to get the
behavior I want?
