By using the format command.  You will *NOT* be able to do mkfs

We are currently experiencing a strange problem with the RCS utilities:
whenever a file is checked-in or out of RCS, the file is tied to user
'nobody'. Note that this only happens on one particular machine ( a PI
running 4.0.1 ). If one rlogin's to another machine and tries the 'co'
or 'ci' operation, 'check' then reports the correct user name.

Our primary suspect was a bad NIS map, but evevrything looks fine in 
this area. This happened over-night without any particular 'prodding'
( or at least everyone denies having anything to do with it!! :-)

Anyone has a clue or a similar experience?

IRIS systems do support Display Postscript in the
form of an extension to the native X widnowing system.
At least one major DTP application on the IRIS
(Adobe Illustrator, big surprise) makes extensive use
of it.

Admittedly, the Indigo has not made serious inroads into
the DTP market, but it certainly is not for lack of a
powerful imaging model.  Heck, the Mac is still the
number one DTP platform, and their display model is still
QuickDraw....

This might be an FAQ, if so I apologize in advance.

I want to hook up a Macintosh to the Sgi.  The Mac uses
a RS-422 interface instead of the standard RS-232 interface.
I did a "man serial" and they suggest using some jargon
about "stream ioctl commands"  SIOC_EXTCLK and SIOC_RS422.

Does this mean that someone has to write a small program
to reconfigure the ports, or is there some standard
command to do this?

Any advice would be much appreciated.

If you are willing to give root or restricted accounts a special shell
(which could be a symbolic link to a standard shell) you could create
/etc/dialups and /etc/d_passwd files to put an invalid password on all
the "unsecure ttys."  The information on these files is in the login(1)
man page.

The problem here: an SGI box running 4DDN changes its ethernet address
to begin with aa:0, as mine has done. This is reflected in the output
from a command that I compiled from some C source someone posted here
the last time this topic came up. I've misplaced the source since then.

We have *always* booted with the miniroot kernel expecting to find root

can override that by doing (each time you need to do boot a kernel
expecting root on a particular device)
	>> setenv root dks0d5s1
	>> exit
at the PROM monitor prompt, before starting the install (for a miniroot
on SCSI drive 5, controller 0).

NEVER configure a device as ID 0.  That is the host adapter
ID.  The message refers to controller numbers, not drive
numbers (Indigo was originally going to support 2 SCSI channels).

After you have done this, when you configure the kernel, the
configured kernel will have its idea of root set to drive 5,
so you shouldn't need to worry about it again.

In the future, I'd suggest asking questions, rather than
making attacks based on inaccurate information.  You are
more likely to get help that way.

You should get out more often, Ben.

There have been 3rd party X products available for the
NeXT for years now.  They are fast, support color,
rootless windows (X window inside a NeXTstep window),
and fully compliant.

There are also ports of software widely used on other
platforms, including Word Perfect, Frame, Wingz...
although I'd have to agree the native NeXT apps are far
more impressive, especially on the Turbo Color
machines - you know the machine that Byte *should* have

Date: 11 Nov 92 08:08:14 GMT

I'm stuck!  Please help!

We have borrowed a Pinnacle MO drive for evaluation purposes.
Pinnacle is working on a SGI driver for their drive, but it is not
ready yet.

I had hoped to be able to use the generic SCSI driver (/dev/scsi/sc*).
I think I saw some messages about using this driver for the Introl MO
drive because the custom Introl driver had bugs under 4.0.5 (or am I
wrong).

Anyway, I'm stuck now.  The drive shows up in my hinv, but I don't
know were to go from there.

If it was an ordinary disk I would use something like fx, mkfs, mount
in that order, but I don't think I can use fx for this drive.  I have
been told that the drive has 1 head (obviously), 18751 tracks and 31
sectors/track.  Is it possible to use this information with mkfs to
create a file system?  And if yes, what values should I select for all
the inode and cylinder group stuff?

I'm a newbie when it comes to MO drives and SCSI inferfaces so any
hints and help would be highly appreciated.

To rephrase my questions:

1) Are there any change that I will be able to use the disk drive with
the generic scsi driver?

2) If yes, how do I format the drive and make a filesystem?

My setup: Iris 4D/20 with Irix 4.0.1.

It also claims that my machine has the addresses 224.0.2.2 and 224.0.0.1,
