I think that's the admin's place to fix if necessary.  There is a public
domain package (mntflop I believe) that will allow ordinary users to mount
floppies while checking for security problems like device nodes on the
floppy, etc.

There are packages and ways to keep your date in sync with a "master" machine
as well.  The easiest is a periodic cron (from root) to sync with the main
server at your site, which the sysadmin should keep accurate in whatever
way is appropriate.

I'm sure that mntflop principles could be applied to the CD rom as well....

Subject: Why do clients hang when server reboots
Summary: Why do clients hang when server reboots?
Keywords: login
Organization: Protocol Systems, Incorporated
Date: Tue, 14 Apr 1992 18:18:55 GMT

	We're running a number of SparcStations as clients of
another SparcStation server.  The problem is that login hangs
on the client machines whenever the server reboots.  Furthermore,
rsh and rlogin from the server also hangs although ping does work.
So far, the only way I've found to get things going again is to
reboot all the clients.  I have to do this using L1-A since you
can't even login as root to the clients.  Does anybody know why
this happens?

	All client machines have local disks and use the server for
NIS service and to mount home directories and some other things like
FrameMaker.  All machines were running 4.1.1B although we're in the
process of moving to 4.1.2.  The machines use static routing by
setting the defaultrouter to be a gateway off the locak sun net.
The gateway is NOT the SparcStation server.

	I've found that if a client is logged in at the time the
server reboots, that all seems normal except login doesn't work.
Both NFS and NIS come back up (server mounted directories are
there, ypcat works, etc.).  Only the login command hangs up.

	In one case, I tried turning on the router daemon
in.routed on one of the clients just to try something.
Interestingly enough, login then started to work.  I don't
know if this is significant or just a red herring.

	Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.  Running
all over the building hitting L1-A is a real bore and shouldn't
be necessary.  Thanks.

This is NOT correct.  Solaris 1.0.1 (aka SunOS 4.1.2) DOES come with
a C compiler bundled in with the OS.

The compiler will not be unbundled until Solaris 2.0, the first
release to be based upon SVR4.

These files are created by newsprint and are bitmapped version of the
current and next pages to be printed.. I'm very ticked off about these
files too, but there's nothing that can be done with the release of 1.0
newsprint that I have to remedy the situation.. Even if you delete these
files, it won't save you any disk space because the xnews server is
still running.  I think this situation is intolerable, and I told sun,
but they didn't plan on doing anything about it.  I just don't see the
rationale behind leaving these files behind..  SPARCprinters and 
Newsprint just leave a very sour feeling in my mouth because of this.

Subject: OW doesn't know about the keyboard?
Date: 14 Apr 92 16:24:15 GMT
Organization: EECS Department, Northwestern University

We had a 386i which we upgraded to an IPC via Sun's upgrade program.
The monitor and keyboard (and disk) are from the old 386i but the
box is an IPC box.  Everything works fine (including sunview,
vanilla X11R4 and X11R5) EXCEPT OpenWindows.  Upon starting openwin,
I get the following error message:

ClassKeyboard couldn't initialize the keyboard.
Process: 0x1edd28 (Unnamed process)   Error: undefined
Stack: (NeWS/interest.ps) marker /BasicKeyDicts marker
Executing: ascii000
At: {*ascii000 ascii0S0 ascii00L ascii0S0 asciiC00 asciiC00 asciiC00 asciiC00}
In: Reading file('NeWS/interest.ps',R)
/usr/openwin/bin/xinit:  Connection refused (errno 61):  unexpected signal 2

This is followed by a mostly white screen and no activity until I
press ^C.

I carefully followed the upgrade instructions, including setting the
DIP switches in the keyboard itself.  The keyboard is an older version
of the Type 4 keyboard that is sent with all Suns (I say older because
it feels mushier than the ones Sun ships today, but it is definitely
a Type 4).

Anyone have any clues?  Is something misconfigured?  Could this be
hardware?

 I also experienced the same problem. I did a re-boot and things returned
to normal. I'm running 4.1.1. I had problems with uucp jobs. They were the only
jobs schedule during this time.

Are your Suns on the Internet?  If so, and if you're running Sun's stock
ypserv, any root user on the Internet who can guess (or find out from
one of your users) your NIS domain can get your passwd.adjunct map, and
crack it at their leisure on their {network of SPARCstations, network of
HP Snakes, Connection Machine, Cray, wristwatch}.

It is *not* "certainly harder to get hold of the yp database then [sic]
to get a copy of /etc/passwd."

Besides, if you use "C2" mode on the individual Suns, they have 20
"readable only by root" files instead of one.

Subject: Unmounting of busy HSFS filesys causes panic
Date: 10 Apr 92 03:31:06 GMT
Distribution: usa
Organization: Dept. of Geology, Arizona State University


Scenario:
   - SunOS 4.1.2 / Any sparc architecture
   - User's current directory is on a hsfs mounted filesystem (CDROM)
   - The hsfs filesystem is unmounted ( umount(8) )

   --> System goes into panic / reboot


This certainly seems to be a bug in the OS.  The umount request should
fail if the file system is currently in use.  The umount(2) man page
says that an EBUSY error will be returned in errno if a process has an
open reference to the file system.

At best the umount should not drop the system into a panic.  At worst 
this will be a bug I have to live with for a while.  So, is there any
clean method known for determining if any processes are referencing a
file system?  The fuser(8) utility does not report any references if
a user is more than one directory deep, and I certainly don't want to
check each directory on the CD with fuser before unmounting.


The good news is that with 4.1.2, the system comes back up a lot 
quicker, thanks to the fast filesystem.

Well, it's nice to see that after all the bitching and moaning last
year when everyone's cron died that Sun went right out and fixed the
bug for SunOS 4.1.2.

I'm still running 4.1.1 so I already figured that I would have to
reboot first thing today to clean up the stuck cron.  What I saw was a
*new* bug on top of the stuck cron.  It appears something caused two
uucp spool directories to be removed.  The two machines that didn't
have anything queued up, got their dirs rmdir-ed.  Weird.  I know that
these directories were there yesterday, I sent mail to both machines.
I don't recall this ever happening before.  (Did two uucp cleanups get
fired up together and do a really thorough job of cleaning up?)  I
don't run accounting so I can't really tell what happened.

Anyone else see this?  Is it related to the equinox?  Will disks stand
on end today? :-)

Hmmm.... This sounds familiar... like on DEC's VMS, where rewriting
a file doesn't actually rewrite the same file -- it just creates a
new one with a different extension:  login.com;1  login.com;2  etc...
Maybe something similar is causing the unexpected behavior?

That last line tell you that it's the SIMM in slot U587.

I'd reseat (and maybe rearrange) the SIMMs first.  Keep track of where the
one from slot 587 goes, and see if it happens again.  If so, replace your SIMM.

Looking on my Solaris 1.0.1 (SunOS 4.1.2) distribution CD in the tar file
./export/exec/sun4_sunos_4_1_2/usr there is a file ./lib/compile and 
symbolic links to it named  ./bin/cc, ./bin/lint, and ./ucb/cc.  It also
contains a ./include directory tree and ./lib/lib* files, i.e. libc.so.1.7,
etc.

SunOS 4.1.2 comes with a working C compiler.
