Howdy,

We have an HP 425t running hp-ux B.08.00 A that spends
a noticable amount of its time swapping when running 
certain applications.  Out of curiosity I looked at
the structure  swdevt (in /etc/conf/h/conf.h) and wrote
a short program to dig the values out of /dev/kmem.

The question is, what does the value sw_nfpgs **really**
represent.  I notice that when the machine is busy chewing
on something difficult, the number for sw_nfpgs goes down.

The rest of the parameters seem to agree with what comes from
/usr/sam/bin/swapinfo.

Make sure you do a "mkfontdir" in the directory you're trying to add
to the font path.

From the Xlib Manual, Chapter 10, Verse 2:

"Defaults are usually loaded into the RESOURCE_MANAGER property on the
 root window at login. If no such property exists, a resource file in 
 the user's home directory is loaded. On a POSIX system, this file is
 $HOME/.Xdefaults."

In your case, XGetDefault is returning values from the RESOURCE_MANAGER 
property. See xrdb(1x) for more details.

If X is the "ultimate" in anything, it's in providing job security for
those who've spent years learning its complexities.  I suspect that the
real source of your disappointment is the documentation.

If you are coding this in C, you will be calling an assembly language
routine to get your PC offset.  Since the PC offset of the return point
of the call is stuffed in %rp by the caller, this routine is most easily
coded as:

	.code
	.proc
	.callinfo
get_my_pcofs
	bv	0(%rp)
	copy	%rp,%ret0
	.procend

If you are coding in assembly, then the 'bl' instruction can be used to
get your PC offset.   'bl .+8,%r19' will place 8 more than the address of
the bl instruction (with a 3 in the low 2 bits) into r19 without disturbing
the flow of the code.

Hello all,

    We have one 1.3gb SCSI drive in our 9000/827 right now.  I have
been looking around for sources for 2 more internal 1.3gb SCSI drives.

I have quotes from:

        Peak Technologies
        AVIV
        IEM
        HP

Prices ranged from $5300.00 to $9000.00

    AVIV has the best price, HP the best service and support, Peak the best
warranty, and IEM has, overall, very competitive prices, service, and warranty.

We going to try to save about $400 and install these ourselves.  If you have
any other recommendations or experiences with one these companies and their
add-in drives, please drop me a note.  I would be really interested hearing
horror stories or satisfied recommendations.

Thanks in advance, Ken.

I use a HP9000/720 daily. In the past few weeks I have trouble with the mouse.
It seems to me there is a lag between the  mouse and the cursor. And also
sometimes it is very hard to move the cursor to a particular point on the

In POSIX, if you don't want to get a controlling tty, open it with the

Clients CAN receive and send mail, except it is not recommended.
One approach described in "Installing and administ. ARPA services"
is using mail name-servers.

We use something simpler. We start the sendmail daemon on a client too.
This is what I have in /etc/netbsdsrc so that hplempel and hplvab
(both cnodes) run the sendmail daemon.

.................
#
    # Diskless clients freeze and read a sendmail configuration file
    # with the server's hostname, and run no sendmail daemon.
    #
    /usr/lib/sendmail -oMw`cnodes -r` -bz

    # If it is hplempel or hplvab start also sendmail!!

      if [ "`hostname`" = "hplempel" -o "`hostname`" = "hplvab" ] ; then
        /usr/lib/sendmail -oMw`cnodes -m` -bz
        /usr/lib/sendmail -bd -q30m && /bin/echo "sendmail  \c"
        else

I don't know.  But if you find a way, proceed carefully.  In today's 
distributed environments the names of systems get squirrelled away in more
and more places.  Changing the name of a system can cause mysterious problems.

As an example, HP VUE saves system names in lots of places such as
security files, session files, etc.

Hello, I grabbed ntalk from iowa and installed it on my 827/8.05 and all was
cool. Worked like a champ, UNTIL, the callee set mesg n. 

It looks like inetd starts ntalkd.

ntalkd immediatly forks itself.

Since the callee has mesg n, the child eventually times out, while the 
parrent persist.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, the caller puts in another request to ring the
callee. Inetd spawns another ntalkd and the above scenario repeats itself.

This goes on until I get a call at home that the sys has gone comotose.

Does anyone have any suggestions, besides stop answering the phone.

TIA,

On my 710, lex, yacc and curses all arrived in the C-TOOLS fileset. Check

You might also browse around /system/C-TOOLS for reference to them. I

Hmmm, couldn't you put /usr/local/bin in the path before the

an "remsh $*" as it's only command?  How about aliasing for those

We have a CD-ROM that works on our SUNs.  Is it possible to
use this on an HP-7**?.  Has anyone done this?

Subject: renaming client & server in a cluster
Date: 19 Aug 92 18:19:52 GMT
Article-I.D.: orion.2A9290C8.27098

I have a cluster of HPs set up here (two 710s, one 720).  One 710 is the
server, one is a client, and the 720 is a client.

The person who I set these machines up for wants to recieve mail at a specific
address which is currently assigned to a client, not the server.  According
to what I know, the clients cannot receive mail, only the server can (great
design, huh?).

So what I want to do is swap the names of the two 710s.  I have been told that
there is no way to do this without re-installing the OS.  Is there any other
way to do this?
