The daemons you describe are part of the Network Node Manager product.
You will not receive new versions of these daemons with HP-UX 9.0.  If
you are using the Network Node Manager, you need to purchase a non-demo
copy or install it if you already have it.  If you are not using NNM,
you don't need the daemons described.  These daemons are started by the
/etc/netnmrc script, which is run by the /etc/netlinkrc script at boot
time.  If you want to stop running them edit the /etc/netlinkrc and
remove the lines that look something like (this is what it looks like
at 3.0, so yours may look slightly different):

#
# Start HP Network Management Agent
#
if [ -x /etc/netnmrc ]
then
        /etc/netnmrc
        STATUS=$?
        if [ ! $STATUS -eq 0 ]
        then
           net_init=1

I have another solution.  How about we all rant and rave and scream at
HP for making this ABSOLUTELY IDIOTIC functionality in the first
place. grrrrrrrrr I can't even begin to tell how sick I am of this
same problem.

At my site, we do have a printer which can do PCL, but it is not
possible to configure lp to automatically kick it into PCL mode (don't
ask--you don't really want to know...).  If I could only get LaseROM
or LROM to write the PCL formatted stuff to a _file_ instead of only
to a printer, I could do what I need.  

How this obviously desirable functionality came to be omitted, one can
only guess.

PHIGS is not "on top of Starbase" - PHIGS and Starbase are peer
interfaces to HP's rendering technology.  PowerShade provides lighting
and shading on low-end devices;  both PHIGS and Starbase use
PowerShade if it is available (PowerShade is a separately priced
product).

There are several other choices:  PEXlib, HOOPS, and possibly other
APIs from third parties (HOOPS is a third party product).  Starbase,
PHIGS and PEXlib are all HP products and will provide maximum
performance.  I really can't comment on third party products.

For new development, I'd recommend either PHIGS or PEXlib.  Both these
APIs are standard, and you can leverage your investment.  PEXlib and
PHIGS have relative advantages and disadvantages;  O'Reilly publishes
books on both that may serve as a comparison.

Dear Reader:

I am interested in doing 3D graphics on an HP Snake.  My pictures will
be representations of polymers; by that, they will be mainly hundreds
spheres and connected cylinders, with some spherical (or cubic)
obstacles in various places.

To give an example, if "o" represents a sphere, and "-" a cylinder,
they'll look like o-o-o-o-o-....-o, except that the polymers will look
more like entangled piles of string.  I would like to be able to have
proper perspective, illumination, etc., and I expect to have HP
Z-buffer hardware.

We do have some Virtual Reality goggles, and we might try to interface
them to our graphics; for this reason, it would be nice if the
rendering was fast, but this isn't exactly an overwhelming concern
right now.  (I don't expect it to be "real time", but it would be nice
if there wasn't a two-second delay whenever one turned their head.)

As far as I can tell, HP provides "Starbase" graphics at the lowest
level.  I know that they also support PHIGS (on top of Starbase), as
well as some product called "PowerShade" which is intended to support
either PHIGS or Starbase.

Given these choices, what is the "correct" graphics system to learn?
(Or is there something even better?)  I would like system to be easy
to learn, flexible, reasonable fast, and aesthetic.  Of course, I
could learn about all three systems and select one of them, but this
seems like it would be a large waste of time....

Please be so kind as to send me a copy of any comments that you post,
since I do not read this group as often as I should.

Thanks!

Angela,

   There are several different ways to sincronize the clocks of unix systems.

  First,  (This is the way I do it)

    get rdate off a anonymous ftp site near you.  Next ships with rdate. 
On an HP9000/720 rdate compiles and works fine.  You can schedule a boot up
sync time or set a cron job to sync once every hour.  For example, our 
machines have a cron job that says
01 * * * *  /usr/local/bin/rdate timeserver >>/dev/null
                                  ^Timeserver is an alias that points to
                                              our master time server, set
S                                              its clock and the rest will
                                              soon follow.
Second,

  Get xntp from anonymous ftp.  This will syncronize clocks very well.  I
think even down to 100ths of seconds.  Setup is a little more difficult than
rdate.  However, xntp allows to sync with the internet, and adjusts time
slowly so there are no gaps in time.

Third,
        Get ntp from anonymous ftp.  See Howard Stateman note.

The easiest way is to put your machine on a net. A 2 USER license is really

the console takes the other. With a 2-USER license You can have 1 person

I got this confirmed by HP at a user group meeting. I asked the question

The easiest way is to compile that source into position independent code with
"cc +z", build it into a shared library with "ld -b", and then load it with
shl_load(3X).  The brute force "ld -A" method from BSD4.3 can be used on HP-UX,
but it is rather grungy (particularly on PA-RISC - the 700/800 series).  Both

Hi all,

I'm trying to get a Calcomp plotter to run off the serial port of one of our
730 workstations (HP-UX 8.07).  I'm having a lot of trouble.

I chose the dumbplot lp interface file but it doesn't work.  I noticed that
the dumbplot script lacked an stty line to set the serial port to the
appropriate line settings so I tried adding the line myself.  Now the plotter
seems to be receiving data, but it "limits out" immediately.  I believe I still
don't have that lp interface script right.

Has anyone been down this road already?  If so, I really could use a little
help.

thanks,

You didn't say where one can get ntp for the HP's. The stock code does
not seem to compile. I *believe* there is a HP version (or patches) on
louie.udel.edu.  In the FAQ it mentions that xntp is available from
iworks, too.  Anyone interested should also check out the
comp.protocols.time.ntp newsgroup.  Going through the archives of this
newsgroup I see that Mark Bixby posted Ken Stone's patches here not so 
very long ago...

Alternately, in the HP-UX archive at iworks there is "timed" - a simpler
method of keeping a group of machines synced time-wise, and my opinion a
better solution if a) you don't have a WWWV clock interfaced to a system
locally; and b) you are not directly on Internet and can sync to the
appropriate stratum 2 or 3 server.

As a number of people have responded, a "what /hp-ux"
will show you the applied patch "what" lines.  The patch
text files also include these lines for comparison.

As for devices, from reading my notes, I see that a
"config -a" should produce that "mkdev" file I was
looking for.

Thanks to all who replied!
