Subject: Need your DISK DRIVE experiences...

Date: Fri, 20 Nov 1992 09:18:55 GMT


Hi!

I am about to upgrade the internal disk on my monoslab (3.0) from a
200meg Quantum to a larger drive.  Does anyone have any experience
with any of the following:

Toshiba 438F, 877meg SCSI-2, 12ms access
Toshiba 538F, 1gig SCSI-2, 12ms access
Quantum 1.2gig SCSI-2 10ms access

Can anyone verify that any of the above do/do not work in a slab?

Also, my plan is to just take out the old drive, put in the new, and
do the upgrade (well, the OS installation actually) from CD-ROM.  Will
the OS installation (NS3.0) format and partition the drive for me, or
does the disk need to be formatted before I begin the installation?

Any info anyone can/will provide is greatly appreciated; I have tons
of Unix sysad experience, but am quite new to the NeXT environment
(loving it so far!! :).

Thanks,
David

I installed SLIP from the SLIP_920904 distribution on my

kernel from rc.local the machine simply hangs. Any ideas?
Am I using the wrong version of SLIP for 2.1?

My children use my NeXT using their own accounts, but they are too young
to understand (and remember) passwords.  I have now set my computer up to
receive incoming modem calls.  The question is, how can I limit logins
to my children's accounts to the main terminal only?

What has NS3.0 done to lpr?  I used to be able to lpr ASCII files to my
old Epson FX-86 using a printcap that avoids the PostScript filters.  Is
Now everything that I lpr prints as PostScript code.  Is anybody aware
of a NS3.0 workaround?  I don't want anything fancy, just ASCII out the
serial port.

Finally, why is it that whenever I try:
          cu hostname
I get an Input error after the modem has been taken off the hook, but when I
try:
          uucico -shostname -x5
there is no problem?  I was trying to use cu to test my uucp chat scripts,
but cu only works if I do "cu phonenumber".  This last is not critical since
using uucico is better for debugging the scripts anyways, but I'm curious.
                             Thanks,

I have the exact same problem in reverse! I would like to print
remotely from our NeXTstation to a SparcPrinter attatched to a Sparc
2. I have added the appropriate printcap entry in NetInfo and added
the hostname of the NeXT to /etc/hosts.lpd on the Sparc. When I try to
print to the remote printer the job is queued in the local queue but I
get a message from the Sparc "Your host does not have line printer
access". I have spoken to the local Sun experts, but they are at a
loss. I have also spoken with a local NeXT expert who is also at a
loss. Note that the Sparc prints to the SparcPrinter locally without
problems and that the Sparc is *not* running NIS. Also note that both
machines can resolve the hostnames successfully (ie, telnet and ftp
work fine using hostnames).

What am I doing wrong?

I never was able to implement this from the FAQ on a 040 cube running 2.1.
Niether was another friend with the same machine.
I sort of wonder if anyone has done this the way it is explained in
the FAQ...
Anyway I just blew it off and learned the emacs bindings and like 'em
just fine! If you don't know already, with editmode=emacs:
previous = ^p (like uparrow in VMS)
next = ^n
back (for in-line editing) = ^b
forward = ^f
Where ^ means control.
These are basics, for more info learn emacs.

Subject: Can rcv UUCP can't send UUCP, Help!
Date: 18 Nov 92 13:50:19 MDT
Organization: Utah State University

Hello,

I have things set up, and things seem to work fine for files being UUCP'd _to_
me.  But, today when I tried to UUCP some things to another site it wouldn't
work, and I am at a loss for finding what might be wrong.  In the shell I typed
the following and got these results (I was in the directory where the file
TEST.out is located.)                 

# uucp -x9 TEST.out ati06!~/

** START **
UID 0, User root,Ename () PATH /
file1 - TEST.out
send file - 2
permission denied /General/UUCP/TEST.out

I was trying to send the file "TEST.out" to the remote host (that I regularly
receive file from via UUCP) "ati06", I've checked permissions for the file and
the path to the file that I am sending and it is o.k.  Even though it gives an
error it still calls "ati06" and then logs out, but it does nothing with the
file.  Where might the problem be?  I'm sure its something simple, but I don't
know quite where to look.  I am running 3.0 if that makes a difference.
Many thanks in advance...

I have found the problem, and yes it was a simple one.  I neglected to add
mself to the USERFILE in /etc/uucp so I didn't have permission to UUCP.

I would suggest that before considering a job with Pencom (or any other

Your problem is that you used noauto.  That is a function that bypasses that 
filesystem when a mount -a is used, the type that is used in bootup.  Take that
entry out of there and you should be fine.

Okay I give up.  I'm using the SLIP_920904 slip and I'm running into 
some problems which I can't seem to get around.  Here is the scenario.
I've got a slipclient and a sliphost, and I can dial the sliphost from the
slipclient easily, but I can't seem to convince the slipclient that there
is a network route to all the other hosts on the network.

The network looks something like this

    (sliphost)--------network A--------(Sun running routed)----network B----.
      |
      modem------network C-------modem--slipclient

Network A, B, and C all have different class C network addresses.  All
hosts on A and B know how to get to each other.  But from the slipclient
I can't get to anybody except the sliphosts.  I've tried running routed
on both the slipclient and the sliphost, but when I run routed in sliphost
after some time the entry in the routing table (of sliphost) for the route 
to slipclient will be deleted by routed and so the slipclient will just
hang.

What am I doing wrong?  Could someone please give me the rundown on
what needs to be in place to get the above network to be happy.
Thanks in advance.

First off, your default routing for slipclient should be to sliphost over the
SLIP interface.  Got that?  I thought so.

Now, I'm going to complain about you using routed.  From what you've
drawn here, there is NO reason that you should be using dynamic routing.
Static entries in the machines routing tables will do you just fine, as there
is only one possible path per machine pair.

The default routing for the sliphost should be network A, the Sun should have
an entry for routing to network A, and ick...  Why does the SLIP interface have
to have a different netid?  Make that sucker network A, and your life will be
much easier.  Course, I suppose you could also add an entry for network C on
the Sun (gateway = sliphost), but I would opt for changing network C if at all
possible.

Summary:
slipclient
	route add default sliphost 0
sliphost
	route add default Sun 0
	route add slipclient slipclient 0
Sun
	route add net networkA sliphost 0
	route add net networkC sliphost 1

That should do the trick (I think).

	But passwd(1) was changed to update passwords in Netinfo.  How much
extra effort do you think would be required to update the other pieces?!!
Programming Netinfo is trivial, NeXT (or SJ) probably decided it wasn't a
worthwile change to pursue since the UserManager could do this, as long as
the system administrator made the change!  I guess they were trying to make
UNIX more "unfriendly"!!!  8^)

   Hi,

   Here at Aarhus University, we have one 'oldish' NeXT-cube. A few of the optical disks
we have, have developed bad blocks. The technical staff cleaned the drive, and when that
did not work, they basically gave up. What can I do, if I want to salvage some of the
data on these disks?
