I have an HSD scanner at the end of my SCSI chain.  Since I don't use it
all the time and it gets pretty hot, I like to turn it off when I am not
using it.  When I had Rel2.0 I did not seem to have a problem with this.
Recently I installed 2.1 and now the system will go along for a couple
of days and then suddenly fill up swap space.  It may be that this is a
problem with 2.1 which is totally unrelated to the scanner but if I
leave the scanner on swap doesn't seem to fill up.  Maybe I haven't
waited long enough.  Anyhow I would appreciate any info on this.

Something I haven't tried is to actually disconnect the scanner from the
CD drive and plug the SCSI terminator in.  That doesn't seem like a good
thing to do on a running system but maybe it is okay.

You probably need to have the route daemon running to get to the outside  
world.  Check to see if the following line is in your /etc/hostconfig  
file. 

ROUTER=-ROUTED-
(or ROUTER=address_of_router where address_of_router is a number)

If not, modify your /etc/hostconfig file and then reboot.

If you are getting an "Unknown host error" on a machine trying to send to  
your NeXT, then that machine probably does not have a corresponding  
name/address for your NeXT in its /etc/hosts file or in the name servers  
tables.  The machine sending mail needs to have the same name and address  
in its tables for your NeXT that your NeXT believes is its address.

There are good reasons that standalone machines would want to be set
up the way that NeXT ships them.  You could go through each thing
that is mentioned in the infamous Chapter 16 and find a reason that
it is shipped that way.  By the way, if you read Chapter 16, it
always tells why one would want the insecure behavour.
A few (I'm basically quoting out of the manual):
Why is / 1777 ?  Plenty of people like to make directories off of
their root without having to become root to do this.  Maybe they
'shouldn't', but it isn't that big of a deal when you are the only
one who uses this machine.
Why is PrintManager setuid root?  So you can delete print jobs,
regardless of who created them.  
Why is Preferences setuid root?  So that you can change the time
without having to log in as root, which people shouldn't be doing
all the time anyway.
Why isn't trusted_networks already set?  It would be impossible for
them to know which networks I want to trust!
etc...

There are somethings that a system administrator has to do.  
No system ships their system competely impenetrable... Sun still
ships machines with a '+' in the /etc/hosts.equiv.  (I wonder
whether they will still do so with Solaris 2.0, if it ever comes
out...)
The fact that NeXT documents these 'holes' sure is nice.  The other
holes that are fairly important have been issued through CERT
advisories and NeXT has remedied them (rdist, for example...which
hit almost every BSD system  anywhere).

Subject: printing on network problem
Organization: University of Colorado, Boulder
Distribution: usa
Date: Mon, 27 Jul 1992 02:42:48 GMT

I have connected my NeXT to a network that has many different kinds of UNIX
machines and Postscript printers.  

I have generated what appears to be a good printcap file, and I have 
niload'ed it properly.  All the printers that I am interested in then
appear in the PrintManager (but of course are not editable because of the
niload) properly, and when I generate the test page, it also prints
properly.

When I generate postscript files with enscript or ptroff, they print
fine.

The PROBLEM is when I try to print from a NeXT Application, like WriteNow.

I print to the printer, and then the document never makes to the printer.
The lights on the printer never even blink.

On our local ethernet, we have a centralized print server.  Is the
server possibly not understanding something?

Does the postscript printers need to be told something about my NeXT?

I have consulted NeXT's documentation, which seems to be abysmal unless you
have NetInfo (which we are not running) or are attempting to attach a 
printer to your serial port (which I am not).
I have also consulted the FAQ, but there is nothing there.

Any help would be tremendously appreciated!

There is a file called ftpaccess, which should be placed correctly (e.g.  
/etc ) AND should contain the correct entries that match your situation.  
Especially the line

class	local	real,anonymous nobugs friday nanno xxx.xxx.xxx.* 0.0.0.0

is important for users to gain access. Replace the xxx.xxx.xxx with the

Well, I don't know what they are on a WangDAT drive; the code that I
wrote for an Archive Python uses the SCSI-2 standard positioning
commands for sequential access devices.  The specific commands are
LOCATE (0x2B) and READ POSITION (0x34).  You use the MTIOCSRQ ioctl to
issue raw SCSI commands to the tape device that you have open.

>(I got 4 messages asking me to forward any responses; unfortunately I have not
>received any). Again, has anybody written C functions that can substitute for
>fseek() and ftell() (probably over the whole tape, rather than a file, which
>would be just fine).

Well, you can't write direct substitutes for fseek() and ftell() which
return file positions which on the NeXT (and most UNIX platforms) are
byte offsets.  The code that I wrote treats the 4 byte quantities
returned by LOCATE as opaque values; it turns out that they (on the
Archive Python, at least) number tape blocks, including file marks.
That's why I mentioned that you need someway to construct a database
or index of these values, preferably while you are writing the tape.

You can try <brian@Systemix.COM> to get further information about the
SafetyNet program.  Alternatively, you can get get the OEM or
programmer's manual for the WangDAT drive and/or a SCSI-2 speci and
combine that with 'man 4 st' and 'man 4 sg' to hack up some code to do
what you'd like.

As I mentioned, I don't know for certain if the WangDAT uses LOCATE
and READ POSITION commands or some vendor specific commands.  The
Archive Python, for instance, provide the SCSI-2 LOCATE/READ POSITION
as well as some vendor specific commands that do much the same sort of
thing, but the tape positions are encoded differently.

Depends on your definition of simple... ;) He most certainly will have
to edit /etc/sendmail/sendmail.cf.  I suspect that his Ethernet Mailer
has the 'C' option turned on. (NeXT has this as a default...)

He could try to change the line

Mether,	P=[TCP], F=msDFMuCX, S=11, R=21, A=TCP $h

to

Mether,	P=[TCP], F=msDFMuX, S=11, R=21, A=TCP $h

Else he would have to change the rulesets in sendmail.cf which can be
quite a pain somewhere... 

Hope this helps

There is no "built-in" support for random seeking to blocks on DAT
tape media, but it is not too difficult to issue "raw" SCSI commands
to the tape driver with the appropriate commands to perform the
seeking.  

Seeking is the easy part; maintaining the database of where to seek

Hi,
   I got my turbo Nextstation about 4 months ago.  The system people here
at work are letting me have a small amount of the our IBM mainframes disk
space.  It is running VMNFS and that seems to be working fine.  The problem
that I am having is that when I issue the following mount:
 
   mount -o ro,soft umslvma.umsl.edu:c1899011.191,ro,password=mypassword
     /u/ben/test
 
It seems that VMNFS needs the password to the account that is holding the
disk space.  The problem is that when users do a 'df' is shows all the
stuff after the word soft.  Does anyone out there know how I can fix this
becuse I can't let people see my password to this account.  Any help
would be great.
