Subject: Need help with Sunos 4.1.2 name server conf

I've run into a snag with getting applications such as ftp, telnet,
et al to recongnize anything that is outside of my local ethernet.

The odd thing is that nslookup can resolve the addresses.  Here is
a quick synopsis of what I've done:

1.  Put important local hosts in /etc/hosts

2.  Record my domain, neoucom.edu in /etdc/defaultdomain

3.  Set up a named.boot with pointers to root nameservers and our
    secondary name server.

4.  Edited the lovely configuration files per RFC 1034 and 1035.
    Such wonderful syntax!

5.  Edited /etc/netwoks so that a dummy 0.0 route is called,
    "default."  default 0.0 default

6.  Set up a gateway entry:
    net default gateawy 140.220.1.4 metric 1 passive

7.  set up an /etc/resolv.conf file:
    domain neoucom.edu
    nameserver 140.220.3.13
    nameserver 140.220.1.1
    nameserver 128.146.1.4

8.  test the mess out:

# nslookup aux.support.com

Server:  troi.neoucom.edu
Address:  140.220.3.13

Non-authoritative answer:
Name:    aux.support.apple.com
Address    130.43.6.2


Now for the bad part:

# ftp aux.support.com
aux.support.com: unknown host
ftp>


It is driving me crazy that nslookup automagically get the
addresses, but for some reason, the other programs don't see it.
Is there a configuration file that tells the apps to get the
address from NIS, /etc/hosts, in.named?....


Thanks for any help,
Bill

No, there is no such configuration file. To make your applications work do:

9. Enable the B=-b Option in the /var/yp/Makefile on your NIS Master Server.

SunPC can access PC software on the Sun CD-ROM by using the network

the Microsoft CDROM extensions.  We'll be adding this functionality

I also saw the "missing functionality" message, along with the lack of a
scroll bar while using xrn with openwin3.  However, xrn runs just fine
when using X & another window manager, such as twm.  This would tend to
say that the "app-defaults" file suggestion isn't correct (unless xrn
looks for the file in a different place depending on the window manager).

Xrn displays this message when its app-defaults file does not
correspond (it keeps version information in both the executable and
the app-defaults file).  Since the app-defaults file is read from the
local workstation, this would also explain why you are getting
different behavior depending on where you are rlogin'd into.

So, you should just install the correct app-defaults file onto both

There is no way to do this in OW2.

We have recently switched from running X11R4 with twm to OpenWindows version
3 with olwm on Suns are running SunOS 4.1.1 and 4.1.2.  In checking out
various applications, I noticed the following wierd behavior with xrn.

When xrn is launched on the local workstation (i.e., the one on which the X
server is running), it starts up with a message "Some XRN functionality may
be missing".  Actually it functions quite normally except that the middle
mouse button is disabled and the display is messed up:  the scroll bars are
missing and the labels on the function buttons are not quite right.  However,
if one does a remote login to another system and launches xrn there, then
everything is perfectly normal.  In fact, if one starts up a server on
workstation A, then logs in to workstation B and follows that with a rlogin
to A and launches xrn on A during that login, again everything is perfectly
normal.

I have repeated this experiment several times on various workstations, and
others have noticed the same behavior, so this is not a one time fluke.

Also, we get the same behavior whether xrn is linked with the OW X libraries
or the X11R4 libraries.

Does anyone have any idea why this is happening and how to fix it?

One of our SS2 workstations is advertising its QMS ColorScript 40 as
`UNIX Spooler:LaserWriter' on Ethertalk.

Two pieces of free software will let you do this.  Once is CAP, the Columbia
AppleTalk Package, the other is netatalk from the Research Systems Unix Group
at the Univ. of Michigan.

They haven't released a version of netatalk that supports Phase II Ethertalk
yet, so we run a mixture of CAP, netatalk, and uShare (a commercial product
from IPT) here; when the Phase II netatalk comes out I'll probably get rid of
CAP.  netatalk for Sun4c (perhaps 4 and 4m also, I've never tried it)
architectures uses a loadable kernel module to add the AppleTalk protocol
stack to the kernel, pretty neat stuff IMHO.

CAP or netatalk, plus NeWSPrint or TranScript, should allow you to print
from the Mac to your Sparc.

We are looking for a terminal emulator that can be used with Sun's
PC-NFS 4.0 which can emulate an ADDS Viewpoint terminal.  If
anyone knows of such a beast, or another way to emulate about
ten escape sequences and control chars please Email me at:

For a while I had two versions of xrn installed, with one app-defaults 
file in /usr/openwin/lib/app-defaults and the other in 
/usr/lib/X11/app-defaults.  The openwin script commonly used to start 
OpenWindows sets the environment variable XFILESEARCHPATH to
/$OPENWINHOME/lib/%T/%N%S.  I put logic in my .xinitrc to set it to 
/usr/lib/X11/%T/%N%S, which solved my problem without causing new 
problems for some other users.
