Subject: Software kernel patch to stop BREAK/L1-A from crashing Sun CPU

We have always had a problem with killing the kernel and droping into
the Sun's monitor. Here is what can cause that:
	Terminal BREAK
	Turning off the Terminal
	Sun keyboard L1-A (or SetUp-A)
	Unpluging the Sun Keyboard

This will not stop the watch dog reset, but it will allow you to
trun off a terminal on a headless system, or press L1-A without effect.
You may still need a terminal or keyboard to boot.

There are two scripts, I call them BREAK_OFF and BREAK_ON. Let me
know if it does not work on your system. I have tested it on:
	Sun-2 SunOS 3.5		Sun-3 SunOS 4.1		IPC SunOS 4.1.1
I have not tested it on a non Sun-4c Sparc, or Solaris 2.x.

Hi - NIS used to be known as the yellow pages.

NIS stands for the 'Network Information System'
and provides facilities for one common password
database accross machines, and various
other shared databases (i.e. common lists of hosts,
groups, ethernet<-->tcp/ip lists and stuff like that.

If you need anything specific ask - I'm not an expert but I do have
a Sun here with the manuals on it.

as a result of this it is now actually quite difficult to get

As far as I know this is physically impossible.  The only operating system
for the SPARCstation is Unix.  It takes longer than 10 seconds to boot.
The SPARCstation monitor program only allows booting from tape, CD-ROM, hard
disk and a server on the net.

As far as I know you are SOL.  The SPARCstation was not designed to do what
you are thinking of.

Sorry, of course this should read:

This is perfectly valid, from the compiler and library point
of view. Calling "free" with a hunk of memory returns it to
the pool of memory that "malloc" might hand back to you; it
does not necessarily destroy the contents of the memory, nor
does it arrange with the operating system for accesses to that
block of memory to give you segmentation faults.

The bug is that you kept a pointer around that pointed into
memory that you told the library you weren't going to look at.

The default size of individual shared memory segments is 1MByte.
There is no enforced limit on the total amount of shared memory 
that may be allocated (limited by system resources).

I'm talking GENERIC kernel here (and 4.1.2).  To change the size you
do have to rebuild the kernel.  The following may be set in the config
file:

#Max number of shared memory segments that 
#may simultaneously exist in the system.

options	SHMMNI=100

#Size in kilobytes of the largest single shared memory segment.

options	SHMSIZE=1024

The numbers shown above are the defaults.  You will not find these 
lines in the config file.  You have to add them to change them.

Look in the System & Network Administration Manual Chapter 22 
Administrator's Reference Page 703

See /usr/kvm/sys/sun4c/conf/README for instructions on how to 
rebuild the kernel.

Good luck

X/Motif certainly provides support for 24-bit displays.  The standard set of
X clients and utilities such a xterm will operate just fine in 24-bits.  The
question is whether the specific image display applications you're interested
in include 24-bit support.  For commercial apps, you should contact the vendor
and see if they have checked out their application on a 24-bit display.  IMHO,
any commercial-quality image display/manipulation application which hasn't is
a bit suspect.

Unfortunately, xv does not work well on a 24-bit display (although this is a
planned enhancement by its author).  You might want to take a look at xloadimage.
It does include 24-bit support and a wide variety of image types, but doesn't
have the nifty color editting capabilities and other features of xv.

The company I work for, VITec, provides a 24-bit accelerator board for Suns
called RasterFLEX.  Send e-mail directly to me if you are interested.

Hi Netters,

Is there any utilities out there that can read a post script document file,
and print the result onto a regular vt series terminal?

thanks in advance for your response
