Several folks noticed that my date was set back a month - I was waiting for
update info. from a software vendor & had gotten tired of reading the
warning messages about the imminent demise of my software... so till I
received the info I needed today I stepped back in time for a spell.
Most of my screwups are accidental - but that was actually intentional.

The machine will use only as much real memory as there is paging space
if the paging space is smaller than the real memory.
There has been a lot of discussion on this subject over in comp.unix.aix about 
a month ago.

I have installed a Hayes 9600 baud modem to the serial

3.2. Additionally I have connected a VT220 type terminal
to the serial port (#1).

With the modem, I can make ougoing calls. However, I have
not had any success with incoming calls.

Likewise, with the VT220 terminal I cant get in to the
RS6K.

I have set up everything using SMIT (devices: tty). What
more do I need to do? I understand in SunOS it is done
differently.

Andreas, this is not what happened when I tried to specify an '.at.'
subdomain on my 3.2 system.  I might note that the sendmail.cf file is the
one I used at 3.1.5 and 3.1.6.  The 3.2 version of sendmail.cf doesn't
include this rule.  Here's an example of the response from sendmail when I
tried to send mail to a hypothetical address in that domain:

>
>postmaster@thor.at.kp.dlr.de... Connecting to thor.at.kp.dlr.de.tcp...
>postmaster@thor.at.kp.dlr.de... Connecting to thor.at.kp.dlr.de (tcp)...
>postmaster@thor.at.kp.dlr.de... Host unknown

As you can see, it doesn't find the host, but it also doesn't mangle the
'at'.

My sendmail.cf also includes a definition of the J macro, which equates to
a space, so that only ' at ' is translated to '@', e.g. 'cpurvis at
st6000'.

So to summarize, I suspect you could either (1)delete that line w/out any
problem, or (2) define the J macro.  If you want the entry from my
sendmail.cf file that does this, get in touch w/ me directly.

Subject:      automounter and wierd df ...

Hello there ppl...
I have automounter running last days on one rs6k box running
aix 3.2 . Its the first time i use automounter so iam not very
familiar with it. First of all.....is it normal when i do a df
after i started the automounter to see except the mounted stuff
two entries like
   fullhostname:(pidxxxxx)   0    0   -1%   -   -  /home
I havent seen this on other systems which run automounter
so i wonder if everything is ok .
Another problem is about the mail directory. I use common
filesystem exported to all systems wihch holds the mail.
HOW do i make a map for this mount ? Normally reading the docs
i sould add an entry in the map for r each file under the
filesystem i mount. Which means one entry per user. But i have
about 800 active accounts. There must be some nicer solution
i think....
Thanks in advance for helping..

Thomas,

For DOS, FTP software's TCP/IP package for DOS includes an lpr program.
This will let you redirect an application's print stream to the lpr
buffer which you can then send to the printer on the RS6K by using a
specific key sequence.  At least, this is how it worked a year ago.
Sorry, I don't have an address or phone # for FTP software.  If you can
move from DOS to OS/2, IBM's TCP/IP package for OS/2 ver 1.2.1 includes
an lpr monitor program that will automate the sending of the print
stream to the RS6K.  On the AIX side, you need the lp daemon running and
you need to tell AIX that the remote PC is allowed to use the printer.
I believe you can do this through smit though it has been a year or so
since I set this up.  Hope this helps.

Bill

Jaap,

There is an RS/6000 version of xntpd.  I know there is a copy on
louie.udel.edu, in pub/ntp/rs6000.  I made the following additional changes:

	xntpd/npt_restrict.c:
		I had to "#include <sys/time.h>" to make it compile.
	xntpd/ntp_util.c:
		Changed the open mode on "stats_temp_file" to 644, from 666.

I have a RS/6000 model 550. My company has about $20,000 to $30,000
budgets for the machine. I have to prepare a suggested purchasing
list. My background is PC support and networking. And my company has
3090 mainframe, AS/400, RS/6000, Novell and lots of PS/2s. My
interest is at the inter-connection, mail, database, file management,
graphics, system management, software development and a little bit of
application software.

If anyone knows any good software for RS/6000 and in my budget range,
please write. I will summerize if there is enough interest.

try changing this rule to:
R$-$Jat$J$+     $:$1@$2
this will only do the conversion if you have one token in front of AT
so only user at node.domain and not user@do.main.at.edu
Then rebuild sendmail.cf (/usr/lib/sendmail -bz)
and run refresh -s sendmail

hope it works.

Subject:      Ghostscript/Ghostview problems

Hi,

recently I tried to preview PostScript files using Ghostscript/Ghostview
under AIX 3.1.5 as well as AIX 3.2.0. Everything works fine as long as I
am NOT working on an Xstation.

On my Xstation (IBM 130, color display) I can view PS files if I set the
resource "Ghostview.useBackingPixmap: False" (as documented). But when I
try to change to A4 or LANDSCAPE or another magstep I get the abend

   X Error:  BadAlloc
     Request Major code 12 ()
     Request Minor code 0
     ResourceID 0x1c00047
     Error Serial #507
     Current Serial #536

I can do some of these things if I use a non-color display, but if I try
to magnify the text (magstep > 0) the same abend occurs.

Any ideas?

The IBM program XPREVIEW does not work on Xstations too. I heard rumours
that there is written an APAR for a Xstation server enhancement. Does
anyone know if this is the same problem? Or when that PTF will be available?

Thanks for any hint,
Klaus Kretschel

BTW, I think that GHOSTVIEW is much better than XPREVIEW, not only because
it has a more comfortable user interface (e.g. zooming, random page access),
but mainly because it is very easy to add any new font (Adobe type 1).

The RLIMIT_NOFILE parameter returns the maximun number of open files per
process (on a sun at least). The limit is currently set to 2000 on AIX (see
/usr/include/sys/limits.h) and I suppose it is safe to hard code the
value into the source.

Hope it helps

We are doing batch on a cluster composed of RS/6000 model 550 and
stations of another brand (HP). For the programs running (physics
simulation, lots of CPU and practically no I/O), a 550
is equivalent to about 85% of an 3090S CPU.  For these programs,
it seems that the machine power is well expressed by INTEGER SPECmarks
(using the 89 version; haven't yet gotten the 92 SPECs for all our
stations.)

You might want to try ghostscript/ghostview. They are available via
anonymous ftp from prep.ai.mit.edu in the /pub/gnu directory.

Subject:      include file with CRTSCTS? RTSFLOW?

I have a person here attempting to port to RS6000 at level 3.1.5.
His code contains preprocessor lines:
        .
      #ifndef CRTSCTS
      #define CRTSCTS RTSFLOW
        .
neither of which are resolved.  I've grep'd on header files starting at
/usr/include and downward, without finding them.

Could anyone shed some light on whether they exist at all in AIX?
(I believe his code is handled OK on an SCO system.)

I did find asynch flow control functions in tty.h -- is his best
recourse to munge his code to use tty.h?

Thanks.

Can anyone give me a good reason not to delete user "nobody" from a unix
system?  My reason for wanting to get rid of it is its ability to be a
valid user in NFS after an aborted logon.

Subject:      Problems with sendmail and the word "at"

Hi out there,

as perhaps anyone knows, the AIX 3.1.5 sendmail.cf has a feature to convert
all addresses of the form
            user at node.domain
to
            user@node.domain
Nice feature, if there wasn't a subdomain AT in the DLR.DE domain. Addresses
of the form
            user@host.at.kp.dlr.de
get converted to
            user@host.@.kp.dlr.de
And every mailer chokes on the .@.
Is there any possibility to change the sendmail.cf exept to remove the
          R$+$Jat$J$+      $:$1@$2        "at" -> "@" for RFC 822
line. The line does NOT convert compliant to RFC822, because the RFC allows
names AT.

Perhaps this bug is corrected in AIX 3.2, but I don't know if anyone
experienced this problem. IBM are you listening?? :-)
