Could someone offer some suggestions for the following
questions ?

environment
    i have an sgi 4d/420 gtx that is on a very local
    and small ethernet...also on this net is a gatorbox
    connecting to an appletalk.
    printing from the sgi box to appletalk laserwriters
    works fine etc...
    running 4.0.5 currently

now:
problem1.  i want to put another gateway (to the internet)
           on the net.
	   i did an "add route net default <address> 1
	   and on a "netstat -rn" i can see it is in fact
	   a default gateway 
	   for some reason however, i can't telnet to the
	   gateway reliably (it worked once, but i don't
           know how or why) then when i rebooted, and did
           the "add route..." again...it would'nt work
	   (pings fail as well) though i can ping, then get
           the arp entry...

can anyone tell me what to check in what files ? and the
format to put the entry in /etc/gateways...as well as where
and what format to put the entry in the rc.d2<mumble> so that
when the machine reboots, it automatically knows about the
default gateway.???
yes...network is "on", routed is "on"...the manual doesn't 
say about anything else......

problem2.  
finally installed 4.0.5 after months of disasterous problems,
with biosym/felix/bruker software...and sterioview problems
(after using sterio view, one had to reset the machine, which
ended up wiping out system files)...and this problem is supposedly
going to be fixed in 4.0.6 (according to biosym) but according
to sgi people i've spoken to locally, they know nothing about its
release schedule (they just got 4.0.5 and was told not to install
it unless the customer was having severe problems...) considering
the machine was down for 4 days...i guess that was severe enough...

does anyone know when 4.0.6 might be released...
i know if you put a dumb terminal on a port, after using sterioview
you type in a command, to fix the screen, then eliminating the
need for a hard reset workaround...but...

problem3.
i'd like to make this machine the "internet mail server/netnews
server" for the site and its users...as well as mac users on the
localtalk...
A.  can anyone send me sample scripts that i can follow to implement
such functionality....Eudora and Popper are mac-email public domain
programs that people seem to recommend (over cc:mail, ce quickmail
or microsoft mail), but so far i've been unable to find a ftp
site to get it from...
B.  can anyone send me a pointer to such an ftp site ?

THANK YOU VERY MUCH !!! for comments on any of the problems...
i'll keep a list of those asking for fowarded information as well
as compile notes for a FAQ sgi-admin list....

again, thanks...

Your posting is going to a usenet news group, and no doubt irritating
literally thousands of users, as well as costing a lot of money.
I have no idea why you're getting mail -- I'm sure most readers
of this news group don't, either (most of us don't interface to news

Stop whining to the world, and talk to your system administrator -- I'm sure
he can tell you how your site implements news and/or news mailing lists.

This is *definitely* my personal opinion, and not SGI's.

Subject: KERNEL FAULT ??
Date: 21 Aug 92 19:14:21 GMT

Hi,

  A couple of days ago I asked the net what the prototype
for the function pcreatev() looks like (still don't know
what it is :-(  but I'm using the function anyway)
and now I have an interesting related tidbit.

1. I create a child process using, pid = pcreatev("some-program", NULL)

2. My parent process dies a horrible death (dumps core)
  because of a Segmentation fault somewhere further on in
  the code (no problem, my fault, I can fix this).

3. I kill the child process at the csh prompt, kill some-pid.

WHAMMO, the OS crashes with the following message...

PANIC: KERNEL FAULT

  Unfortunately there wasn't enough space left on my system disk
for the system to perserve the dump when I rebooted.
  I'm at IRIX 4.0.1 and hinv reports...

X-Useragent: Nuntius v1.1

Pardon me if I'm boring you with repeat posts, but I don't think my first
attempt made it past my local new server ...

I would like to tell the linker to remap a symbol at load time.

Specifically, if my program calls a subroutine named 'x', I would like to
tell the linker to load subroutine 'y' in place of 'x'.  Can I do this?

I'm trying this in fortran, but would also like to do it in C, if
possible.

If it matters, we're running under IRIX 4.0.2

Advance thanks,

Jim

Subject: problem with tape device
Date: 22 Aug 92 01:15:35 GMT
Organization: National Institute of Standards & Technology, Gaithersburg, MD


 i have a 'sgi' 8mm exabyte tape drive, pi 4d35 running
4.0.2 .  After trying to switch tapes (by physically
pushing the eject button on the tape drive) i got
the following response from the 'mt status' command:

no such device

An entry did show up when i typed 

ls -l /dev/nrtape

the date and time though on this entry is about the same
time as i tried to eject the tape.  I should also mention
that I have had this tape drive for over a year without 
problems. After cd'ing to /dev as root I used 

MAKEDEV tape

in order to try and re-make the
/dev/nrtape device.  It didn't work.

I would appreciate any advice on how to get my tape device
back. Does anyone have a clue as to what may have happened
in the first place?
Thanks,

The old version is wrong.  You're safe to delete it.

ioctl.syscon is used by init to set the tty modes of the console 
while in single user mode.

I do not know why ioctl.syscon is commonly marked changed.  There was a
bug fixed in the way init creates the file, but I don't think that bug
fix got into IRIX 4.0.5[AB].  (It looks like it made it into BVD.)

To change RGB to postscript, although tops exists, I would recommend
pxtools available at:

mondrian.princeton.edu		128.112.224.14
/pub				pxtools (image conv. tools)

I have used both, I found the latter superior in the final image
quality.

Anyone got any recomendations on the MULTIPOINT Z 3-D mouse - either
pro or con?

We're considering using it in a Silicon Graphics/Unix/XWindows
environment. It would be used as an input device for XWindows
applications that we intend to write. MULTIPOINT advises us that
the interface to XWindows was done as an X input extension.

How well does the mouse perform? Is it intuitive? Smooth? Do you
like it? Is it a good value for its price?

How steep is the learning curve in writing applications that use
the mouse? Will upgrades to XWindows make it obsolete?

Any comments are welcome.

MX records are a type of DNS (BIND) resource record.  Check chapter 3

Install UUCP, and then add a suitable entry to /usr/lib/uucp/Dialers.
Take an existing entry, probably one of the Hayes or Hayes compatible
entries, and modify it.

Then use that dialers entry with uugetty, just as the many XXXin or
XXXi entries are used.  Check /usr/lib/uucp/fix-* for example
inittab lines using such entries.

regex and company is in libPW. You need to add -lPW after the X libraries.

As a further followup to this posting, Ray Martin, Jim Greenslade and I have
determined what the real cause of his problem is.  The MAC NetCopy software
[DECnet sold by DEC] is incorrectly identifying the Irix system as a VMS
system.  Because of this, it creates VMS style pathnames for it's file
requests.  The SGI 4DDN product however can't handle VMS pathnames.  It
appears that something in 4DDN changed in the upgrade to 4.0.4.  If Ray had
been using the kiNET DECnet product [openDNA] on the Irix system, he would
not have had this problem.  openDNA supports VMS pathname syntax in addition
to standard Unix pathname syntax and would have worked just fine with the
MAC NetCopy software.

I once did something like setting the linewidth to three and draw lines

didn't produce circles, but lines of length one and width three. I
don't know how it would work on the currently available hardware.

/etc/init uses it for single user tty modes.  It is in 'stty -g'

you want by putting your terminal in your favorite modes for shell
use, then doing 'stty -g > /etc/ioctl.syscon'

/usr/src/X11/motif/book/lib/menus.c (which is taken from
"The X Window System, Programming and Applications with Xt - OSF/Motif Edition"
contains a programmer-friendly front-end to Motif menus.
Unfortunately it pups the menus up in the normal frame-buffer, so that
whenever a menu is popped-down (very often) the main picture must be redrawn.

Can anyone tell me how to make it use the popup planes ?

Alternatively, can anyone recommend a way of creating an N entry menu in
about N+2 lines of code ? (Of course that doesn't include definition of the support code.)

Thanks very much,

We want to upgrade the memory on our 4D70. Right now its at 12MB. I'm
finding that is would be easier to get confidential information from the
CIA than it is to get "free" info from SGI. "I'm sorry sir, you only
have software support... etc"

Can anyone tell me what the maximum amount of memory a 4D70G can have?

Thanks in advance.
