Kernel hung twice with a /dev/console (but not syslogged/uerf'd) message
about mbufs.

I rebuilt with maxusers boosted to 64, still happens. no tweaks to bufcache
or other sickness. CAM however.

DEC 5000/200 42Mb memory, typically 100-120 jobs, nntp/cnews/smtp/nfs

should I be muddling around in param.c to twist the ratios in there?

	nothing in man -k about mbufs.

	nothing in the Really Thick Fully-Bound Manual on kernel
		messages on mbufs.

	nothing in the Regally Threatening Factual Manufacturers docs 
		on configuring kernels about mbufs.

	somebody stole my 4.3 release notes/install doc so I can't check
	them either...

Okay,
I've tried setting

but the logo still only shows above the login prompter.  Ideally, I
would like to put a picture up on the entire login screen.   Does
anybody have solutions in both variants, i.e. using xv to set a root
window with a gif and using the postscript version, to put up a logo
on the entire screen?  We are using DECwindows at the moment...


Thanks in advance...

I am working on a project.  A part of the project work is to convert the code
written in vax pascal to Pascal running on ultrix on DEC Station 5000/25.  The 
program which is written in vax has some system calls.  Is there any source from
which I can find the equivalent ultrix system calls for the vax system calls. 
In particular the vax system calls for which I need the ultrix equivalence are:
  
  SYS$ASSIGN
  SYS$QIO
  SYS$QIOW
  SYS$CANCEL
  SYS$SYS$BRDCST
  SYS$TRNLOG
  SYS$CANTIM
  SYS$SETIMR

I used an early copy of SlavePC several years ago, and I think it was
very picky about the kind of floppy that the remote PC had. I don't
think it would accept a 1.4M drive, I remember I had to hunt around the
office for a spare PC with a low-density drive.

That was obviously with a different (VMS) version of SoftPC, but perhaps
the restriction still exists?

Hi!

I am not sure my problem is connected to Ultrix but I will post anyway :)
We connected some PCs to our network using the NCSA telnet program.
It works fine when we connect to the local hosts (a DECstation and a VAX
running Ultrix). However, we can't connect with any other Internet
hosts even if we give it the number address (so, the name server is probably
not a problem). I checked the NCSA config file over and over and couldn't
find any errors.  Could it be that our ultrix hosts are not running something
important?

Hope somebody had this problem before and will help me!

Read /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults/dxMail. Actually, put a copy in your home
directory and edit it.

To answer the second question first - look for the following:
! To enable word-wrapping in the send window,
! uncomment the following two lines:
!*send*XmText.wordWrap: on
!*send*XmText.scrollHorizontal: off

So, strip the leading "!" from the following lines.

Fonts are more "interesting".
The entries you probably want to change:
*tocList*DXmfontListDefault: *-*-*-Medium-R-Normal--*-120-*-*-M-*-ISO8859-1
*tocList*DXmfontListLevel0: *-*-*-Medium-R-Normal--*-120-*-*-M-*-ISO8859-1

    These are the fonts used by the table-of-contents widget - the message
    subject lines.
*Item.fontList: *-*-Helvetica-Bold-R-Normal--*-100-*-*-*-*-ISO8859-1
    This sets the font used by the folder buttons.
*XmText.FontList: *-*-*-Medium-R-Normal--*-120-*-*-M-*-ISO8859-1
*Text.FontList: *-*-*-Medium-R-Normal--*-120-*-*-M-*-ISO8859-1
    This gets the text font for almost everything else.

Hope this helps..

Try the following:

On VMS:

	$ copy mua0:filename vms-filename
	$ copy mua0:filename2 vms-filename2 (etc...)

On ULTRIX
	% dcp -i vms::'where$logical:vms-filename' filename
	% dcp -i vms::'where$logical:vms-filename2' filename2

Or you can use the appropriate TCP/IP copy command (you'll need the binary

Until recently (with the advent of the -wait option) all the changes that were
made to MH were shipped back to John Romine: that includes the X.400
support changes.  The X.400-specific changes are documented in the X.400
documentation (as one might expect): from memory this is -mts and -note
switches to send (and other switches to others).  The -mts switch allows you
to choose mts's (sendmail and x400 in fact); the -note switch is for constructing
X.400 receipt notifications.  The X.400-specific extensions are probably
documented in the stuff we sent to John Romine as well.

Howdy,

In DecWindows/Motif dxmail insists on handing MH send a '-wait'
option. I have RTFM'D the DEC docs, the MH docs, and the MH source,
but I cannot find the -wait option (it's definately not in the MH
source). My questions are:

1 - What does the -wait option do?
2 - How does one get dxmail (in DecWindows MOTIF) to stop using it?
3 - Does anyone know where DEC documents their 'enhancements' to MH?
4 - Along with Q3, does anyone know of other options/enhancement to MH
    that DEC made I might like to know about? For example, what are
    -mts and -note (see send -help output below)?

If it is of any interest, the two send versions spit out the following

Hi, folks

I've just upgraded our PC/Mac LAN-Server, a DECStation 3100 from 4.1 to
4.2a and now I get this strange behavior from sendmail. If I try to mail,
sendmail abort with the following message in the syslog:

Nov 23 09:52:37 localhost: 13239 sendmail: NOQUEUE: SYSERR: getrequests: cannot bind: Address already in use
Nov 23 09:52:37 localhost: 13239 sendmail: cannot get connection

If how ever I do a telnet to port 25 it responds very nicely and accepts
input this way. Also the rest of the TCP/IP stuff is working OK.

Any hints would be appreciated.

The most notable change had to do with Motif 1.1.3.  The sm resource changed
to DXsession.  After editing the .Xdefaults and making this documented
change everything was virtually the same.

The resource for dxmail also changed.  As did the font lookup for DECterm. 
These are both documented in the Motif release notes. I did have to call
DEC support to find out the proper modification to the Xws definition in
ttys (to find the correct fonts for DECterm).

/* Mea culpa if the errors below are not exactly what happened, */

I'm not so sure about 4.2A, we had a user here pull both our main
service machines (DEC Symetric Multi-Processor 5830's) over whilst
playing about with mixed domain sockets (I think he connect()ed
socket1->socket2, and then tried to connect() socket2->socket1).  This
caused both machines to fall over with a smp long lock, position mess-up
error.  Took our main systems person an entire evening going through
crash dumps to find out what process had caused it. 

(The user ran it on one, saw that fall over, assumed it was a normal crash,
 and then proceded to pull the other over)

DEC's response was along the lines of 'oh, it was a user program, thats
your problem'... :-(

We actually see quite a few smp lock long errors with locks timing out
which pull the service machines over, and when we were trying to run
DECs colourbook transport protocols (being a UK academic site) they fell
over a lot more often.. 

Our hope is that Ultrix 4.3 and DECNet phase V (and colourbook) will fix
things..   /* pigs and wings and all that */

In my experience of our Sun 4/330 (used to run SunOS 4.1, now running
SunOS 4.1.3) Suns seem a lot more reliable, although this may be because
it doesn't have the load that our service machines do.

Small correction: as long as you want to run X on a system without
shared libraries for X (such as Ultrix).  Yes, I know shared libraries
are bad, but for the many more or less useful X applications they are
certainly a win.

We have a 4 mm DAT (TLZ04) on one of our servers and I want to use it
to do file system dumps.  Does anyone know what values to use for the
size and density to allow me to use the full capacity of the tape?

Thanks.
