Subject: automount hangs in D state
Organization: Physical Sciences Lab, UW-Madison
Date: Thu, 10 Dec 92 20:01:11 GMT

I am trying to run automount on our DECstation 3100, running Ultrix
4.2. When I start up automount, it seems to run fine, and it provides
access to the directories I told it about on wuarchive.wustl.edu and
gatekeeper.dec.com. However, when I then go away and do other work,
automount will hang in a D state (as reported by ps) and attempts to
access either the / directory with ls, or any of the NFS mounted
directories handled by automount with ls, hangs. In fact I am unable
to regain control of my terminal, so I have to log in on another
terminal. The ls processes are also hung in D state, and can't
be killed. Nor can the automount process be killed.

The only way to fix automount and remove the hung processes is to
reboot.

What am I doing wrong?

Here are the direct maps I'm using, in case some clue is in there:

Subject: ULTRIX 4.2A rsh- or TCP/IP-problem.
Date: 14 Dec 92 09:44:37 GMT
Organization: Soeren T. Lyngsoe, Hoersholm, Denmark

We have some DECstation 5000/125 and DECsystem 5000/200 running 4.2A 
connected by ethernet (TCP/IP). When we try execute a remote shell (rsh) 
from one system to another in order to run a command (a script or a 
system-command), the rsh sometimes hangs (never exits). The command 
or script is always executed as expected, but the rsh never exits.

A netstat shows that the TCP/IP-connection is not closed correctly. 
There is a CLOSE_WAIT on the local machine (the system from which the 
rsh was issued) and a FIN_WAIT_2 on the remote system.

This indicates that the connection has been closed on the remote machine 
but the local machine never receives the close-ack.

Example:

If we issue the following command on the system tst05:

	rsh tst01 dobackup.x

Dobackup.x is a script that executes find-commands and rcp-commands 
on tst01/tst05.


a netstat after termination of the script on tst01 and tst05 shows (not
all tcp-connections shown):

tst05:

Active Internet connections
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q  Local Address          Foreign Address        (state)
	..
	..
tcp        0      0  tst05.1020             tst01.1021             CLOSE_WAIT
tcp        0      0  tst05.1021             tst01.shell            CLOSE_WAIT
	..
	..

tst01:

Active Internet connections
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q  Local Address          Foreign Address        (state)
	..
	..
tcp        0      0  tst01.1021             tst05.1020             FIN_WAIT_2
tcp        0      0  tst01.shell            tst05.1021             FIN_WAIT_2
	..
	..


Does anyone know this problem and perhaps a method to avoid it. ??
Is there bug in a ultrix systemcall (used by rsh), rsh or TCP/IP
that could cause this problem ??

Subject: syslog operations
Organization: CSIRO Division of Information Technology
Date: Thu, 17 Dec 1992 03:36:06 GMT

I am trying to compile a set of C programs that use openlog and syslog calls.
Ultimately, I want to write the information from these calls into a certain
log file.

However, when I run the program, ALL information is logged into the mail log
file. /var/spool/mqueue/syslog, which I don't want!!!

Reading TFM for syslog(8), all I can glean from the info provided is that
an /etc/syslog.conf file must have lines of the format:

	<priority>[optional asterisk]<log file>

e.g.

	8/var/spool/mqueue/syslog

where priority is defined in /usr/include/syslog.h.

In the real world of using syslog (i.e. read using a Sun), I can define
an optional facility (LOCAL0 through to LOCAL7 = priorities 16 to 23)
for my own use, and this works fine.

Back in the DECstation world, I have attempted to define my own include
file with priorities greater than 9, to no avail.  I have even tried
using LOG_DEBUG (priority 9) and LOG_NOTICE (priority 7), also with
the same result; ALL information is still written to /var/spool/mqueue/syslog.

And yes, I have killed, waited 30 seconds, and restarted syslog as per TFM.

One small word: H E L P

Any tips/pointers would be helpful.

Thanks,

Pierre.

	I think you should go back and have a look at the documentation
for security on ultrix. You have missed the point. Switch you mind back on
and read it again. There is no extra baggage as you call it for ENHANCED and
UPGRADE (being the same I might at as far at the shadow password file)
	UPGRADE has the same facilities as ENHANCED just allowing the
standard BSD password entries to co-exist till the user does a
passwd command to change the password and upgrade the entry at the same time.
	One all users have changed their password then you are in ENHANCED mode
and should adjust svc.conf to match.

	I guess what you call baggage is the audit and trusted path ??
If so you,will find that these are optional parts of the added security features
that came in ultrix4.2. 

	If all you want is a shadow password system then it's there, go
and have another look...

I don't know why some contrib software has Imakefiles that seem to generate
Makefiles with this problem, but I've never really looked at it.

Simple solution:  edit the Makefile, find the line that says something like:

DEPLIBS= $(DEPXAWLIB) ...
DEPLIBS1=...
DEPLIBS2=...
DEPLIBS3=...

As I recall, I just comment out the DEPLIBS line, or maybe the 4 lines and the
problem goes away.

I think it's got something to do with whether or not the dir that you're
working in is in the proper spot in the original X11 tree...  I could
be way off base here though.

Hi,

   We currently have an Ultrix machine working as a Mail gateway between
our VMS machines and the Internet. This is in place and has been working
for some time. 

   I am wondering if there is a way to shorten the address of VMS users for
mail going through the gateway. For example, the address user JOE on VMS node
NODE1 is:  joe%node1.dnet@gateway.umb.edu. I would like to have this just be
joe@node1.umb.edu instead, and still have it all work.

   I suspect I can direct mail to node1.umb.edu to go to the gateway machine
with MX records, but I don't know if it's possible to get sendmail to do the
right stuff with this.

   Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks.

I found the ANSI C compiler from the C++ bundle was different and better
than the ANSI C compiler product for 4.3.  The latter couldn't handle

  Read the manual for "pstat -s": the above has nothing to do with RAM
  memory.

  We get output such as the above when someone has made a mistake of some 
  sort in configuring swap space.

A simple way is to use xmodmap. For example, say you want to remap your

in your .profile or .login:

	/usr/bin/X11//xmodmap -e "keycode 113=Escape"

Organization: Swedish Institute of Computer Science, Kista

Date: Fri, 18 Dec 1992 08:40:56 GMT


I have read 5 or 6 news articles about connecting a modem to a DECstation.
I have managed (actually my system administrator) to set up a dialin
connection. Only problem was that I had to set my modem NOT to listen
the DTR signal. The getty will not hang up my modem on logout but
wait until I put the calling modem on hook. I can live with that. 
If it did listen to DTR it would hang up just after answering,
or not answer at all.

My main problem is that I can't use tip. My /etc/ttys says:

	ttyd0   "/etc/getty 8bit.2400" dialup   on modem shared

In my /etc/remote i have

	modemout:dv=/dev/ttyd0:br#2400:

but when running tip

	% tip modemout
	all ports busy

I have set the mode bits on ttyd0 to 666. I have commented out the
/etc/ttys line above and done

	kill -1 1

to make sure the device is not busy by another program. (you always 
learn some unix magic from your system administrator when you let 
him type on your keyboard ;-) "ofiles" tell me it is not used by 
anyone else.

Any hints what it is I'm doing wrong or how I can do to figure it out?

/kgb

(Why dial out on a dial in connection? I want autoanswer to be on at
8 in the evening and set it off at 8 in the morning. I have to send
a string to the modem to set autoanswer mode. The modem is connected
to my ordinary office line and if I'm late in the morning and someone 
phone me at my office I don't want the modem to answer for me :-)

What this means is that your sendmail, after parsing an address,
decided to deliver mail via SMTP to itself.   The listener realized
that it was getting an SMTP connection from itself and blew it off in
order to avoid an endless loop.

One common cause of this problem is copying a frozen sendmail.cf from
another machine - a sendmail running with such a frozen configuration
will think it's the other machine, and therefore try to deliver mail
that should be local via smtp.   Refreezing the sendmail.cf could
solve your problem - ``/usr/lib/sendmail -bz''.

Or, perhaps your host has multiple names, and doesn't recognize all of
them.   For example, if you have an MX or a CNAME pointing at it, or
if its hostname is fully-qualified and the sendmail.cf doesn't know
how to deal with the unqualified hostname, then it could try to
deliver mail that should be local via SMTP.   If that's the case, try
sending mail to each of the possible valid addresses and see which one
bounces.   Then, hack your sendmail.cf to recognize that address as
local.   (I know, a tall order...)

I'm aware of the horror stories of the 3100 serial ports. Let's
see if somebody can beat this one: If I set the modem with the
code AT&S1 (DSR normal), everytime the carrier disappears -- for
example in a uucp connection after the end of the session -- some
of the windows that are in the background (reduced in size) get
blown up, the function of the mouse keys change, and who knows
what else. This doesn't happen if the modem is set with AT&S0
(DSR always on). Does anybody have a clue about this? Thanks,

We have a DECstation 5000/125 running Ultrix 4.2A with a PMAG-A graphics card
and a VR319-D4 monitor (simple 19" monochrome display).

The problem being, we DON'T want to run X as this machine is running as a news
server and X will 
consume valuable resources.  What is needed is to know the terminal type for a
standard
console so that the TERM environment variable can be set.

Thanks for any help...

[I realize that readers of this list are not likely to be thrilled
by OpenVMS benchmarks for Alpha ... but in many cases the performance
on these benchmarks are basically independent of the operating system,
so I thought these might be interesting to Ultrix users.]

[And, of course, you won't be running "Ultrix" on an Alpha, but there's
no "comp.dec.osf" newsgroup yet!]

	Q. Where can I get performance information about Alpha AXP systems?
	
	A. Performance information on some of Digital's systems is
	available in gatekeeper.dec.com:/pub/DEC/Alpha/performance:
	
	AXP_VMS_SVR_PERF_BRIEF_921120.PS
	axp_vms_svr_perf_brief_921120.ps.Z
		Alpha AXP Server Family Performance Brief - OpenVMS
		10 benchmarks
	
	AXP_VMS_WS_PERF_BRIEF_921120.PS
	axp_vms_ws_perf_brief_921120.ps.Z
		Alpha AXP Workstation Family Performance Brief - OpenVMS
		5 benchmarks
	
	Sorry, at this time there are no OSF/1 benchmark reports available
	in this directory.
	
Please do not ask me to send you copies of these files.  Also, I had
absolutely nothing to do with their preparation.
