Subject: bug in htons or sockets?
Organization: University of Colorado, Boulder
Date: Wed, 6 Jan 1993 23:44:32 GMT


>From the htons man page:

	  These routines are defined as
          null macros in the include file <netinet/in.h>.

But it doesn't work like a null macro.  The test program below
should report "43526" (or 1706?) for both answers.  This is
under Ultrix 4.1 thru 4.3.

---------
[3:05pm]soma:~/tmp-27% cc servbytest.c
[3:05pm]soma:~/tmp-28% ./a.out
port number returned by getservbyname: 43526
port number returned after htons: 1706
[3:05pm]soma:~/tmp-29% grep whiteppg /etc/services
whiteppg        1706/tcp        da 411          # Directory Assistance
[3:05pm]soma:~/tmp-30% cat servbytest.c
#include <stdio.h>
#include <netdb.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <netinet/in.h>

#define SERVICE         "whiteppg"

main()
{
    struct servent *sp;     /* describes a service */
    if ((sp = getservbyname(SERVICE,"tcp")) == NULL)
        printf ("no port specified in /etc/services\n");
    else {
        printf ("port number returned by getservbyname: %d\n", sp->s_port);
        printf ("port number returned after htons: %d\n", htons(sp->s_port));
    }
}


This creates a problem for typical code (fragments) like:

        struct sockaddr_in sin;
        struct servent *sp;
	...

        if ((sp = getservbyname(SERVICE,"tcp")) == NULL)
                sin.sin_port = htons(DEFAULT_PORT);
        else
                sin.sin_port = htons(sp->s_port);  /*** this breaks on DEC ***/
	...

        if (bind(sock,(struct sockaddr *) &sin,sizeof(sin))) {
                perror("bind()");
                exit(1);
        }


On all other vendor systems I tested (Sun4.1, BSD4.4,
KSR OSF1, NeXT, HPUX), my servbytest code reports 1706 for
both numbers and using that port number as
sin.sun_port works.  Ultrix wants 43526 as sin.sin_port to
connect to 1706 on another system.

So the question is, where is the bug really?  Is it
htons or the htons man page and all the ultrix socket code?
Something is wrong.  My current fix is to just drop using
htons... it's null on most machines anyway and dropping it
works on ultrix too.  Is that the right way to go?

Please send any responses via email.  I don't read this group
regularly.

Thanks!

Wonder whether it is possible to have dynamic shared libraries with Ultrix
somehow.
I had a look at gcc-2.x, but couldn't figure out how to set up gld for Ultrix
or if it is possible at all.
The /usr partition on our DECsystem 5000/240 (RZ25) is already overfull with
the standard Ultrix installation (> 200 MByte) and I would like to install
X11r5 with lots of Motif clients ... (X11 'hello world' > 1 MByte !).

You may follow up to this article, there won't be enough mail to give
a reason to summarize.

We had a similar problem and were helped by rickert@cs.niu.edu.  Our
ultrix machine is blaze and we use yp.  We want mail to go to our hub
IVORY if username not found in blaze /etc/passwd or the yp map.

We created a class (see FN entry below);

###############
#   Classes   #
###############

# Internal ("fake") domains that we use in rewriting
CIUUCP BITNET CSNET dnet

# try to distiguish between blaze/non-blaze users
# by defining a class "N" as local blaze users
FN/etc/passwd %[^:]

And we made some changes as recommended by rickert@cs.niu.edu to deal
with central sit resolving;
   
# remaining names must be local
# next line commented out KSB/KBA May 4/92
# re: rickert@cs.niu.edu recommendation for central site resolving

#R$+                    $#local$:$1                     everything else

# and..these 6 lines added
R${$*                   $#local$:$1     in YP or Hesiod passwd map,assume local
R$"$*                   $#local$:$1     ditto for aliases map

Now, I'm no sendmail expert by any means...but maybe this will assist you.

I'm trying to get a terminal window running over X to my PC (running PC/TCP

a breeze.  DECterm, on the other hand, has been a nightmare.

DECterm's performance is terrible. I'm also unable to map a font for bold

Anyone have any experience with running DECterm over X to non-dec equipment?

A better approach that even speeds up links when using non-NFS libraries
is to prelink libraries or sections of libraries.

LIBS=  libX.a

foo:   foo.o libX.o
       cc -o foo foo.o libX.o

libX.o:  myXrefs.o /usr/lib/libX.a
	ld -r myXrefs.o libX.a -o libX.o

clean:
       rm -f foo foo.o libX.o

Where myXrefs.c is either your programs interface to the library (clean
way) or a dummy file which forces references to the library (less clean
way, but it works).
You can see the list of references you need to generate by linking
without the library and saving the list of undefined symbols.

I am somewhat mystified by the process of changing disk partitions
under Ultrix (4.x).  In "The Unix System Administration Handbook" 
(Evi & Nemeth) it states that BSD systems must have partition
boundaries aligned with cylinders (or even cylinder groups?) or
take a serious performance penalty.  Is this also true for Ultrix
(which is derived from 4.2BSD) or does the Ultrix automatically
align partitions on cylinder boundaries?  When I make a new file-
system on a partition I created it tells me that "n sectors in the
last cylinder are not allocated".  The manual pages say nothing
about this, and give no advice on how to calculate partition
sizes.

I tried figuring out the secret formula from the disk geometry and
the default partitions in /etc/disktab, but didn't get very far.
The default partition sizes are /not/ an even multiple of the number
of sectors/cylinder.  I also can't find any reasonable function that
woud seem to determine the difference... so, what gives?  There
obviously has to be some formula based on the disk geometry, but
I can't find it documented anywhere and I've looked everywhere I
know to look...

Jan,

  The RZ56 is a Micropolis drive with DEC firmware. I believe that Micropolis
does have a firmware variant for Sun as well. I don't happen to remember which
Micropolis model number the drive is, but their technical hotline should be
able to tell you fairly quickly.

I hope that helps.

Yes, the fix is rather easy... 

Read the man page for tty(4) for more info ;
basically, find where in kermit the baudrate is set and use this 
blurb as a template:

#include <sgtty.h>
struct sgttyb *mode;

ioctl(ttydev,TIOCGETN,mode)	/* get current mode  ; change speed */

mode.sg_ispeed = 15;	/* input speed : 15=EXTB (38.4K)	*/
mode.sg_ospeed = 15;	/* output speed				*/

ioctl(ttydev,TIOCSETN,mode)	/* set speed */

I need to know if there is any way to speed up compile time on a DECstation
5000? The bottle neck seems to be the linking portion of the compile cycle,
especially, if some of the libraries are coming off of NFS. If I have to 
compile an application that uses a couple large libraries, i.e. X, Xt, Xmu,
etc..., it just ends up taking a ridiculously long time. 

My gripe from all of this stems from the fact that the same compile could
take 10 times less time on a SUN which uses dynamic linking. 

Any ideas, other than moving my libraries around, would be greatly appreciated.

But when i try to start nqsdaemon or anything then i get the following Error:

#
But when i type hostid, then i get this:

What do i have to do (trying to set machine-id with nmapmgr also fails).

Is there anyone who can help me ?

I hope the following will answer all your questions you may have concerning
the problem you mentionned.


What systems are affected :

- All ULTRIX 4.3 systems running DECnsr.

- Any systems running ULTRIX 4.2A with the tcp_output.o patch.  
 (The tcp_output.o patch was retracted by the CSC some time ago, 
  but some 4.2A systems continue to run it.)  

How the problem affects the system :

- The problem can hang or crash the system.

When the problem occurs:

- The problem occurs when a DECnsr user terminates an active save or 
  recover session, either by issuing the nsr_shutdown command or
  by killing DECnsr daemons.

Current workaround :

- DECnsr users whose systems are affected by the problem should avoid using 
  the nsr_shutdown command or killing any DECnsr daemons while a DECnsr 
  save or recover session has I/O activity.

Marc Sybertz.

I would suggest to put

	exec > /dev/console 2>&1

as first command in /etc/rc.local, and redirect output you don't want
to see to /dev/null. This is a much better default than the other way
around.

G'day folks.

We've got a lab full of DECstation 5000's running Ultrix 4.2A (which we
can't upgrade as they have software loaded which is incompatible with
later versions of the OS).

What I'm trying to do is export several file systems to lots of machines
but grant root access to only a select group.  The exports file doesn't
seem to allow this, although I've tried everything which seems to make
sense (and even a couple of things which don't).

So, can anybody help me out on this one?  I'd greatly appreciate any
suggestions.

I would suggest that you have an explicit path to route
(/etc/route or /usr/etc/route) - the path set by init does not
have /etc in its path (if memory servers me correctly.

You might want to modify the line to have

> /dev/console 2>&1 

at the end of the line so you can see what errors show up...
