AIX doesn't allow you to change the EFFECTIVE unless it is equal
to the REAL or SAVED.

  setreuid      There are two cases:

  RUID != EUID  If EUID specifies either the process' real or saved
  user IDs, the process' effective user ID is set to EUID.  Other-
  wise, EPERM is returned.
	^^^^^

  RUID= = EUID  If the invoker is the root user, the process' real,
  effective, and saved user IDs are set to EUID.  Otherwise, EPERM
  is returned.

  The real and effective user ID parameters can have a value of -1.
  If the value is -1, the actual value for that UID is set to the
  corresponding current UID of the process.

If you want to toggle your EFFECTIVE between your REAL and SAVED 
you can use a suid program and then use seteuid().

Of course, this might not be what you want.  Let me know if
if you had something specific in mind.  This has been a sticky
issue lately.

later,
Julie

Hello friendly dudes;

I managed to rescue the data from disk to tape (tar'ed) thanks to
various hints from many of you.
Unfortunately, the GETROOTFS script which I used (3.2) wiped the
AIX 3.1.x mount and umount commands out.

To be successfull, I HAVE TO HAVE these files!
Could s/o out there mail it to me or put it in FTP somewhere???

Who out there knows if bosboot creates boot image from RUNNING kernel??
can I specify the 3.1.x kernel residing on the hdisk0???

Thanks a lot, Henning

Your application is mishandling memory.  The 3.2 malloc is much more 
stringent about allocating the proper amount of memory, while the 3.1 
malloc would round your request up to the next power of two (in bytes, 
I believe).  Also, 3.1 malloc would clear all memory it allocated to 0; 
3.2 malloc does not.  (Normally, malloc isn't supposed to do this -
but calloc is.)

Because so many applications use memory incorrectly but work with the
overly liberal 3.1 malloc, IBM decided to continue to supply it with 3.2;
thus, the MALLOCTYPE variable.

Hope this helps,

Marc

Date: 30 Jul 92 19:09:17 GMT
Organization: University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, Canada

HELP! Please, can anybody tell me where I can get a half decent window/mouse
based text editor like the one on a Sun's. I have xedit but it lacks, or
I don't know how to do it, the following: CUT & PASTE, I can select and
paste but I cant cut out a chunk of text. SCROLLABLE cut & paste. I can
only select what's visible on the screen. A decent editor should scroll
down/up to select more text. HORIZONTAL SCROLLBAR! It doesn't have one.
FIND & REPLACE: xedit is supposed to do it but when I try it doesn't
find anything, much less replace it. GO TO A LINE NUMBER. It's useful to
jump to a line number, when the compiler gives you the line number of the
error.

As you can see, nothing fancy, just the basic features one needs in a text
editor. I hope someone can help, I'm beginning to loathe the sight of the
RS6000 because IBM didn't supply a window based editor. Their default
editor for their motif interface is vi for God's sake! You would think
that a huge company like IBM could afford to write a proper window based
editor. Yee Gads, I better get off my soapbox.

Thanks for any help, and excuse that mommentary outburst.

Indeed, the original creation date is not stored.  If you allow users to
create datasets in this temporary area, then they certainly could recreate
their datasets if they were removed.   If you unnecessarily delete datasets,
then this recreation of datasets is another waste of resources.  Without
extraordinary protection schemes, the users could simply rename or copy
their datasets to fool a simple purge program.

Since we have an on-line network accessible mass storage system, I have
toyed with the idea of having a daemon dynamically adjust quotas on a
scratch disk and backup and delete files from users whose quota has been
increased for an extended period.  This way, the daemon controls and
remembers the quota modifications for each user.  If the same user requests
more disk space, then the daemon could grant it subject to the higher
priority needs of other users at that time.

A simpler scheme that could be put into your original purging program would
be to substitute total disk useage for a given user during the previous
run as the main factor in deciding which files to purge.  All these schemes
could end up creating more work for the user who was just about ready to
use a dataset that was purged.

There is no substitute for a group of cooperating users who realize they
all have work to do.

I tried the following command and it found only files, not directories:


   find /tmp -mtime +1 -type f -exec /bin/ls {} \;

The only thing I changed is the rm command.
It seems to me the {} is working correctly.  Maybe I missed something?

I assume you are running AIX 3.2.x since you mentioned the R4 server.
For 120's there are two bootfiles.  Try bootfile1.  That is the one we
are using and our 120's work fine.  (We do have 1024 Meg though).

We have a single executable ("foo" for the sake of discussion), which
forks several children, each of which has a different purpose.  I'd
like to change the name that is shown by 'ps' for each of these, so
that the 'ps' command display can give some hint of what they are
really doing.

For example, currently wee have ps output like

   PID    TTY  TIME CMD
 10023  pts/0  0:00 -ksh
 19257  pts/0  0:00 foo
 19514  pts/0  0:00 foo

 20542  pts/0  0:00 foo
 21313  pts/0  0:00 ps

and what I'd like to see is

   PID    TTY  TIME CMD
 10023  pts/0  0:00 -ksh
 19257  pts/0  0:00 foo_main
 19514  pts/0  0:00 foo_quack

 20542  pts/0  0:00 foo_bark

This is easy in BSD, but I can't see how to do it in AIX.  Any hints?

I'd recommend checking out aXe...it is available from export.lcs.mit.edu, in
the contrib directory.  I'm not sure if you can compile it without having X11
R5 installed on your machines though...but give it a go.

It doesn't have a million features, but enough to make it alot more functional
than xedit.

Does anyone know what AIX 3.2 provides as an equivalent of syscall(2),

It's used to allow one to trap kernel system calls and then call
the real one.

e.g. if one wanted to guarantee that a program would never open
anything but an absolute pathname, they could compile the program
with this and it would replace the "open" function in libc.

    #include <syscalls.h>
        int
    open(path, flags, mode)
        char *path;
    {
        if (path[0] != '/') {

The product is called RS/36, from Universal Software (714 851-8021). It
is a very complete S/36 runtime environment (all OCL, procedure commands,
help text, etc), *plus* a machine code emulator that can directly execute
S/36 object code (binaries). It even executes IBM's RPG compiler! Thus you
can continue to maintain your programs exactly as you did on the S/36 until
you've worked out a future developement strategy. Currently RS/36 runs RPG
and COBOL programs, their respective compilers, and is binary-compatible 
with ASNA's 400RPG and BPS's RPG II 1/2. 

What's astounding is that on an RS/6000 320 this thing is two to four times
faster than a real S/36 -- even though RS/36 is *emulating* S36 machine
instructions! I was, and continue to be, impressed by this product.

I worked with Roger Pence on a product review of RS/36 for NEWS 3X/400 Magazine.
If you want a copy of the review, let me know. (It was in an early 1991
issue).

Actually, the top line should be:

	tctl -f/dev/rmtX.1 fsf 3

for "mksysb" tapes...

Sorry for any confusion!

This is probably a FAQ, but I haven't seen the list in awhile...

Will horrible things happen if I don't have a /home partition (AIX 3.2)?
All my user files live elsewhere, so _I_ certainly don't need to
waste the disk space...  If /home needs to exist, please let me know
when it's used - will I be ok if it's just pointing off to a
fileserver somewhere?

Thanks.

Have you tried relinking the program with the new, shared libXm.a?  Something
along the lines of

cc -o test.rs6000.new test.rs6000 -lXm
test.rs6000.new

I haven't tried X11R5, but in general the "can't load library" problem can
be fixed by relinking the app with the library.

   Has anyone had any experience intalling nntp 1.5.11?  ANy patches out there?

I spent a good chunk  of friday doing just this.  I now have a
compiled and *very* minimally tested version of it.  I can put it up for ftp
if you like....  

Anyone know of an official patch for nntp?

JHH
