I can't think of much worthwhile to do with it, but I thank you for your

Does AIX have pseudo-ttys?  If so, replace the tty in question with the
slave side of a pty, and have your interception program open the master
side.

For more details, see the chapter on pseudo-ttys in "Advanced Programming
in the UNIX Environment" by W. Richard Stevens.

Has anyone one noticed that arrow keys do not work in gnu emacs 18.59-15.57.

Does anyone have a solution or any insights to the problem.

My only insight is the fact that AIX does not give emacs all of the

Dear AiX'ers

I am in the process of compiling NQS on the rs6000.
I have run into trouble, the following is the error msg.

NQS(FATAL): Unable to determine machine-id of local host.
NQS(INFO):  Execution aborted.
NQS(INFO):  NQS log process exiting.

I believe the problem is because i don't have the file
/etc/nmap/machines

I know that machines should contain the machine-id. 
How do i create this file? i looked for some options in the 
makefile, but can't seem to find any.

I hope someone can help?

|fgetc returns int.
|EOF is (-1).

As mentioned above, fgetc returns int and EOF is -1.  On AIX, chars
are *not* signed.  So, the -1 gets truncated to 0xFF to fit into
buffer[].  The 255 is then compared to -1 and sure enough, they're
not equal.

What about using 'sync' to sync the disks?  I'm not *that* familiar with
AIX yet, so no flames please.  :-)

Date: Tue, 17 Nov 1992 02:04:01 GMT

We just upgraded a machine to AIX 3.2 from AIX 3.1 and printing has died a
horrible and untimely death.
Symptoms:
1) printing to a local printers works, but we get a banner page even
	though /etc/qconfig explicately says not to use banner pages.

2) any time someone tries to print to a remote printer (on a bsd machine)
	they get the following:

Message from root on torreys (UNKNOWN) [Mon Nov 16 09:19:06 MST 1992] ...

Where torreys is running AIX 3.2 and cannonball is connected to a machine
running BSD 4.3.  I've tried rebuilding /etc/qconfig from smit with the
same results.  Has anyone seen this before (and know how to correct it)?
Or, did the upgrade replace part of the printer subsystems and leave us
with part 3.1, part 3.2 (which would almost make sense).

Any help would be appreciated,

0.	Make sure you have enough wires (8-10) from the modem to the port
	(Transmit, Receive, Ground, Request-to-Send, Clear-to-Send, 
	Data-Terminal-Ready, Data-Set-Ready, Carrier-Detect).  A straight
	25-wire flat cable should do just fine.

	On the other side, you might try just 3 wires (transmit, receive,
	ground) with jumpers connecting the following together ON THE HOST
	END OF THE CABLE:

	a.	Clear-To-Send, Request-To-Send, Data-Set-Ready
	b.	Carrier-Detect, Data-Terminal-Ready

	You will also need to set the modem to ignore DTR if you go 3-wire
	so that it will answer the ring and go off-hook.

1.	Set the Runtime and Login strings in smit to have 'clocal'.

2.	(Maybe) Set the Runtime and Login strings in smit to NOT have 'hupcl'

3.	Try to set the Discovery modem so that the CD signal is ALWAYS ON
	(this will help keep the port open)

4.	Try to set the Discovery modem so that it does NOT echo your commands
	(Hayes command:  ATE0).  Result codes are OK, but if the modem echoes
	the commands, the login string will be echoed by the modem to the port
	which will think it is trying to log in and redisplay the login string
	to the modem which will echo back to the port which will think ....

I try to turn as many modem signals (DTR, CD, etc.) permanently on.  Then, I
work backwards to see what I can 'get away with.'  But I always need to make
sure the modem does not echo my commands.  Results are OK, but not commands.

Good luck.

I don't believe that it syncs anything.  When I need to push it, I issue the
sync command first (don't need to be root for that), then press the BYB.

Yes, it can be disabled by putting the key in "secure" mode.

The UID should be that of the individual doing the printing.  Normally I

on is classified and the UID on the banner page must match the UID of the 
individual picking up the print job.  FTP says their LPD and LPR 
implementation is BSD compliant.  When I trace the print job, everything is 
in tact when the job gets to the spooler on the IBM, but when LPD gets it???

According to our IBM SE, pushing the "little yellow button" will sync the
filesystems and perform a proper shutdown/reboot sequence.

I have tested this about 5 times and everything went just fine. On reboot
fsck did not run, nor did it need to.

As to "the little yellow button"'s effect on the hardware, I don't know.
But then, thats why I'm posting this reply instead of mailing it.

Our RS/6000 model 730, running AIX 3.1.6, crashes every once and a while.
Sometimes, you almost know in advance it is gonna happen, so using the
yellow button to avoid to have to power it down (due to "888") is an
option. Furthermore, we sometimes need to reboot it for othere reasons.

How safe is the yellow reset button? Is there a possibility of, for example,
disk crashes? Or does it shorten the life of other components? Is a proper
'shutdown -F' always preferred for a (warm) reboot?

I am no systems manager, so I don't have permission to 'shutdown -F', but I
am allowed to push the yellow button.

    The 223-9 sequence is a normal-mode attempt to configure SCSI devices.  For
each SCSI I/O controller card installed in your machine, you can have, at most,
seven (7) SCSI'ed devices.  Each device on a given card must have a unique id
(address), 0 - 6.  The address 7 cannot be used.  Why?  I dunno, but that's it.
To solve your problem, just turn the little red (or blue) dial on the back of
the new drive to a number not already used.  It sounds like you are already
aware of that, though, since you said the addresses conflicted.  Don't worry
about data integrity while changing the device's SCSI address.  Heck, I've even
attached tape and disk drives while the machine is on, commanded cfgmgr, and
voila!, more DASD!  ;-)

The program is buggy.  EOF is not a char value, but you are comparing
it to one.  Are you using the option which makes 'char's unsigned?
Probably on the SparcStation, it would detect a 0xFF character in the
file as end of file.
Try something like
int tc;
 while ((tc = fgetc(fp))!= EOF)
    buffer[i++] = tc;
