Probably because there is only one hardware colormap on

Irix 5.0 will have shadow passwords and c2-style auditing
as bundled (but configurable) features.

C2 features are not available in Irix 4.0, but they can be
found in Trusted Irix 4.0.4T, which is under consideration for
the B1 evaluation class by the US National Computer Security
Center.


jwjung>  But, as you know, the NIS without C2 has great security hole.

NIS was designed without security in mind.  Attempts to retrofit
access protection to it have been haphazard and inadequate.
I wouldn't recommend NIS as the administrative solution for
anybody whose systems were facing a serious intrusion threat.

Subject: Help on cpio: how to read backup tapes with cpio command?
Keywords: cpio help
Organization: NASA/MSFC
Date: Wed, 16 Dec 1992 19:26:34 GMT

We are doing backup remotely with cpio command. Our tape drive is with machine
'peach'. We do backup of machine 'backup_machine'. We have scripts to do it.
We have many systems but backup is done from one central machine. 

I don't understand shell script yet (working on it). It is very complecated. 
When I was running the bacup I got the process listing which shows :

  backup 22545 22544  0 11:53:41 ?         0:00 rsh peach -l tape dd conv=block obs=5120 of=/dev/nrst1 
  backup 22551 22545 35 11:53:41 ?         2:39 rsh peach -l tape dd conv=block obs=5120 of=/dev/nrst1 
  backup 22547 22545 18 11:53:41 ?         1:57 cpio -o 
  backup 22548 22546  0 11:53:41 ?         0:07 find /etc/aliases /etc/cshrc /etc/group /etc/hosts /etc/init.d /etc/motd /e

and some other which is our scripts.


Now, within a day or two I need to write a program which will make a listing of the
backup tapes. I looked at the cpio manuals but did not know what to do.

If any one can help me on this I will appreciate it very much. I use tar all the time 
but this is different. I loged in to 'peach' and tried 'cpio -tBi /dev/nrst1', it
didnot work.

Thanks for any info.

Has anyone out there ever tried to resolve a system name

The 20 and 25 do not support the PROM password.  At least some revs
of the 30 and 35 do, I don't remember if it was in the first PROM
rev, or just the newer prom that supports the Elan graphics.

See 'man prom' on 405 or later for more info.

It is basicly because tar was written under V7 unix where only

a check in tar to see if you were superuser.  When the S3/S5
versions of unix decided that they didn't like that model, a number
of things broke, including tar.  More recent versions of tar do
the check to see if you are superuser, as some other postings
mentioned.

By the way, the problem only occurs when directories are created,
in most cases, since the chown is done after the file is extracted,
and therefore there are no problems with regular files.

If you look at the man page for cpio carefully (do "man cpio") you
will see:

    cpio -i[BbcdmrtuvVfsSb6k] [-C bufsize] [[-I file] [-M message]] [pattern ...]

and a bit later:

    cpio -i (copy in) extracts files from the standard input

Observe that the archive or tape device is _not_ listed amongst
the expected arguments of "cpio -i", and that it expects input
instead from standard input.  This means that the following might
work better for you:

    cpio -tBi < /dev/nrst1

There may have been other questions in your posting, but I could
not quite understand what you were asking, so my apologies for not
answering what else you might be asking.

Two things must be done to allow printing through Multinet.  First,
Multinet must be set to allow printing from the remote machines.  I think
that this is done using 'multinet config/server' (see chapter 8 of the
Administrators Guide).  Then, the SGI must have a remote printer defined.
The queue must be a BSD queue (lpd).  See the man page on lpd and printcap
for setting this up.

The 4D/20's and 4D/25's that we have don't have a prom password. The sequence
we needed to use to 'disarm' the prom password on the 4D/35's involved 
taking the case apart and disconnecting the battery cable from the system
board...which also seriously confuses all the other prom settings.

If you are talking about the PROM passwd, and the system boots
up, then you can run the command 'nvram passwd_key ""' to clear
it, if you have an Indigo.  If you can't get to any state
where you can do this, you have to pull the NVRAM chip.

More details make it easier to help...

You might want to investigate SGI's IRIS Impressario product, it will
perform PostScript and SGI Image rendering on the host and send
compressed bitmaps to the printer, often yielding greatly increased
performance for your complex print jobs.  It's available from SGI
Express 800-800-4SGI.

If you're on a real budget crunch, try installing it using the "dumb"
model file in the Print Manager.  You'll only be able to print text,
but it should work fine.

If you have a PS cartridge, the "Generic PostScript" type will
probably work.

Cheers,

David
