    I changed the hostname on one of my machines once too, and had the
    same problem for a little while.  I got the hostname changed in my
    sendmail.cf, but I'd missed one instance of it in one of my named
    config files, so be sure to check all those thoroughly, too, if you're
    running named.
    
    On a somewhat related topic, does anybody have any idea why the lines:
    
        ANMA       IN   MINFO   ANMA-REQUEST   woody@zocalo.com
                   IN   MG      woody
                   IN   MG      otherusers.otherhosts.domains.
    
    wouldn't successfully create a mailing list?  I've defined
    ANMA-REQUEST as an MR record to root, it looks just like postmaster.
    Whenever anything is sent to the address or the request address, it's
    returned with a "not a typewriter" error.

I have a CommCard NuBus Serial card from Taniwha (Paul Campbell).
The card is wonderful, and continues to serve me well under System 7.

However, I can not use the card under A/UX 3.0.

Paul indicated to me through email that I needed to get an upgrade
to my drivers and they would work fine. Unfortunately, I no longer
seem to be able to get email through to taniwha.

Does anyone have Taniwha CommCard drivers that work with A/UX 3.0?

I've always run with a personal system folder and haven't seen any funny
problems at all.  I'd suspect a flaky INIT conflict first.  For
instance, if you use AccessPC, remove it for a while and see if your
Finder runs better.  Does MacsBug give any clues?

One small detail.  I made my personal System Folder by hand before I
realized that there was a command for building one.  Thus I have copies
of everything in my home directory rather than symbolic links.  I can't
think of any way that this would affect anything.  Re-running
"systemfolder" doesn't change anything, so I think that my setup is OK.

Organization: Stratus Computer, Software Engineering

My connection is from a Telebit T2500 to a Netblazer running Worldblazers.
Since the T2500 doesn't do V32.BIS, the best I can manage is a LAP/M
connection at 9600 baud.  Interactive performance is not too bad, even
running a raw-mode interface like emacs.  There is a slight delay, but
nothing objectionable.  Batch response (ftp'ing a couple of MB of stuff)
was pretty respectable too, averaging about 1.7KB/S for a text file
(FAQ.aux) and about 1KB/S for a binary file (compressed tcsh man pages)
with compression enabled.  Oh yeah, if you want compression, make sure
you ask for it (note the +c in my slipup script).  I originally went with
the defaults (-c and +e) which means don't enable compression unless the
other end sends compressed stuff.  Well, apparently the 'Blazer at the other
end was doing the same Alphonse-Gaston act!

Well, it seems that if you use -lcur5.0 instead of -lcurses, comment
out 'set42sig()' and add -lbsd then it doesn't happen anymore.

Hmmm,

Let me try this one more time.

I have a Mac II with a 40mz 68030 accelerator and I do NOT
have the high density floppy upgrade(just the standard 800k
floppy).

With four meg simms installed in bank b I have 20 meg of memory
installed.

A/UX 2.01 and A/UX 3.0 see only eight meg of available memory.

It has been suggested that the high density rom/floppy upgrade
may be neccessary for A/UX to be able to see the memory above
eight meg.

************************************************************

Has anybody out there been able to use more that eight meg of
memory in a Mac II? Was the rom upgrade necessary?

************************************************************

The A/UX support group does not know the answer to the above
questions.

(The memory appears to be functional...System 7 with mode32 is
able to see all 20 megs of memory).

I would greatly appreciate an answer from someone with
actual experience/knowledge.

This may be in the FAQ already, but what the hey.  Yes, this is
possible, and I've played around with it a bit.

In your ~/.profile, add something like this:

    FINDER_EDITOR=/mac/bin/TeachText
or
    FINDER_EDITOR=$HOME/mac/BBEdit/BBEdit

or wherever you put your copy of BBEdit.  You will need to copy BBEdit
over to your A/UX filesystem somewhere for the A/UX Finder to find it.

Then logout and login again.  All A/UX text files should look as if they
are BBEdit files under the Finder, and double-clicking should work as
expected.

For fun, I tried 
    FINDER_EDITOR=/usr/bin/vi
and it worked!  Well, it *almost* worked.  CommandShell opens up a new
window with "vi" running in it.  Unfortunately, once the "vi" terminates
(you exit the editor), the window doesn't go away and instead has an
interactive shell prompt in it.  I haven't figured out a workaround for
this yet.  Also, the A/UX vi can't open up a file on a MacOS partition
like TeachText or BBEdit can.

I think my point was lost.  I am not arguing for free support for AUX.
What I am trying to say is that it is to every vendors best interest to
find and fix as many bug in their products as possible.  

If I find a bug in AUX (Yes, a real bug not just a complaint), then I 
would like to report it so it can get fixed.  I like AUX and I want to
help make it a better product.  If the bug gets fixed, then that is
great (..and yes, I have seen problems that I have reported get fixed),
but if the bug does not get fixed, then I wonder why.  That is terrible
treatment of a beta tester.

If Apple is not willing to fix a problem in their product, and also not
willing to tell me why, then I am not willing to report any more problems.
Its not my loss.

creates the files with the UID of the current process _unless_ that

I have an A/UX 2.0 system that is used as a spooler for other Unix systems 
to print to LQ Imagewriter printers on an appletalk network.

The system has been changed from appletalk phase 1 to phase 2 and while the 
zone and printer can still be seen and selected in the chooser, print jobs hang up in the queues.  The lpstat -t command tells me that the first request is
printing but nothing further occurs.

The printers are separated from the A/UX box by two appletalk routers - 
a webster multiport and an ACS 4000 series router - both configured to
phase 2.

Can anyone point me in the right direction??????

Yes, I'm using MacSLIP with MacTCP and have successfully used Eudora,
NewsWatcher, Fetch and PacerTerm.  You must make sure MacTCP has the
correct IP address for your machine (as recognized by others in your local
domain).  Also, if you are using symbolic names (e.g.
mac.archive.umich.edu) in your applications, you must specify a Domain Name
Server.  You might also need to specify the correct gateway address for
your network (I've used a default of 0.0.0.0).

At the risk of sounding smug, an Archive QIC drive (like Sun uses) costs
about $300 bux.  Back up your A/UX disk with that and dump.bsd (!!!), and
forget eschatology. It was Apple's response to having "only" the useless
40SC tape backup drive. Also A/UX 3.0 supports some other "real" tape
drives.

I was hoping to find a A/UX driver that would allow the SyQuest to be
treated the same as the floppy drive.  Under the MacOS (standalone), I use
Redux to backup and would like to have the same functionality for A/UX.  If
that worked, then it should also be possible to use tar or cpio to the
SyQuest as you can with floppies.

It's no big deal to create files and then chown them to someone else;
of course some systems are more restrictive about this now. The rub is
whether you can SUID the file and then chown it to root and if the SUID
bit remains set: under A/UX and about 99.995% of all UNIXs out there,
this doesn't happen.

chown/chgrp operations are different between SysV and BSD; BSD only
allows root to chown or else it checks the real and effective UIDs of
the process, SysV allows anyone to chown.

I installed 3.0 on my Mac IIsi today, grabbed useful things (like the
UUCP fix, emacs, etc) using Zterm :), copied them over to the unix
filesystem, did the fcnvt thing, etc, etc...

And when I go to extract the tar files, the files tar creates get set
to really obnoxious foreign user id's.

This seems just really _broken_ to me.  I'm not doing the extractions
as root, and every other unix system I've used has created the files
with the uid of the person doing the extraction.  In fact, every other
unix I've used has prevented normal users from creating files owned by
others.

So, what's the scoop?  "Do you extractions as root" is not an answer.
If the answer is "get gnu tar", then that should at least be in the
FAQ.
