Subject: Any reason why sun4m architecture would need a different rpc.mountd?
Date: 9 Jan 93 15:55:39 GMT
Organization: SINTEF DELAB, Trondheim, Norway.

I'm in the middle of a major upgrade to 4.1.3 on our Suns here. One of the
"standard" patches that we use is 100296-04 (netgroup exports to world), which
contains a new version of rpc.mountd. The patch file that I have looks like
this:

rwxr-x---559/500  32768 Sep  4 01:25 1992 100296-04/sun4m/4.1.2/rpc.mountd

Notice the separate version for sun4m for SunOS 4.1.2 - but not for 4.1.3. I
checked, and cmp reports that the two versions for 4.1.2 are *not* identical.
However, rpc.mountd does not use libkvm or anything like that, and the what
command reports the same for all the sun4 and sun4m versions. So I wonder:

- Are there *really* two different versions for 4.1.2, or is this just a
mistake on the part of those who generated the patch?

- And if there are two different versions for 4.1.2, does that mean I need a
special sun4m version for 4.1.3?

If the PCs are running clarkson/Crywmn(?) packet drivers all you need is
NCSA/CUTCP telnet.  This will allow them to telnet/rlogin to the UNIX host.
Pegasus Mail w/Charon will allow email from PCs to UNIX and back.  There are
two version of charon, one is a SMTP gateway.  The second will allow you to
pass print jobs from Novell to UNIX.  

You can purchase Netware for UNIX(SUNLINK from sun&novell).  which will handle
some of the above.  You can purchase NW NFS and/or FLEX-IP from novell which
will give you the ability to NFS mount your NW hard drive on you sun.  Oh..
the FLEX-IP doesn't its a subset of NFS and only allows ftp and something else
which I can't remember.

You can get PC-NFS to let the pcs mount the SUN drives(from sun).

Subject: Starting getty manually
Organization: ACUS, Australian Centre for Unisys Software, Sydney AUST.
Date: Tue, 5 Jan 1993 06:04:10 GMT

I want to start a getty on a line while the system is in single user
mode, so I can monitor the progress of a backup from a nice comfortable
terminal, rather than being stuck in the cold and noisy computer room or
having to continually walk to and from it. 

getty works ok if it is started from init, as I'm able to login ok if
this is the case, but if I start it manually it only partially works: I
get no login banner, but I do get character echo, but with the wrong
parity, 7-even rather than 8-none, but no response otherwise.  Oh, and I
do get syslog messages from getty complaining about a 'Interrupted
System Call', but this can be stopped by nohuping it. 

I noticed init starts it somewhat specially from the information in ps:
argv[0] is set to a dash '-' and it gets the target terminal set as the
controlling terminal.  I've kludged the first of these, with a symbolic
link, but that doesn't help.  I'd write a little C program to set the
controlling terminal, but I can't see why getty cares and don't
know what other traps it has waiting, so I'm seeking the wisdom of the
net on this one. Reply to me and I will summarise if requested.

Alternative suggestions that solve that same problem are also welcome. 
I experimented with making the console a serial tty rather than the bit
mapped display, but I found (warning: faded memory follows) that the
comms parity would change through the boot sequence, which was somewhat
annoying, not to mention the loss of the bit mapped display. 

Any help is welcome, the machine is a Sun 3/160 with Sun O/S 4.1.1.

Thanks,

Andrew

Hi, netters,

	We have a SS2 runing SunOS 4.1.2. it access the novell file server
via Netware NFS1.1. We try to print from SS2 to the novell network printers.
It works fine for all the HP III series, but failed for Postscript printer.
Any hint?


	Information:
the entry in /etc/printcap:
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
novps|Novell Postscript Printer:\
	:lp=:rm=nov_host:rp=HP3_POSTSCRIPT:sd=/usr/spool/novps
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

nov_host is the novell file server's hostname, HP3_POSTSCRIPT is the 
queue name. "novps" is the printer name.


On the console of netware server, I configured the SS2 as PLPDCFG's trusted
host, and Choss "postscript" as the printer mode and "<re-initialize>" as
its set up mode and select "Hewlette Packard III/III plus" as the printer
type. (It is HPIII printer with postscript font catridge).

	I can send pirnt queue over to our novell postscript printer(I can
"lpq -Pnovps" to check the queue and "lprm -Pnovps" to remove it before it
vanish.). Then the printer just blink its eye and refuse to print out my 
postscript file. Any help is appreciated!

please email me.

Thanks in Advace!

  Solaris SHIELD will be available as an unbundled product priced at $50

Subject: Slow Character Echo in SunLink CG3270 sessions (help)
Organization: Boeing Computer Services
Distribution: usa
Date: Wed, 6 Jan 1993 19:16:09 GMT

We are running SunLink SNA gateway version 6.1,
	       SunLink CG3270 version 7.0FCS (according to strings(1))
	       SunOS 4.1.2 on 4/690-MP4 and on SS1 and SS1+ workstations
	       9200 baud serial line to ttyb for the SNA connection

Our 4/690 has the serial line and runs the gateway software.
The users run cg3270 on their workstations, and cg3270 links
up with the gateway process on the server.

The problem: intermittently, very slow keystroke echo in the CG3270 window.

I've had a few chances to check on workstation load and server load,
during a hit, and I found plenty of capacity.

It would suprise me if the serial line is the problem, since as
I recall, 3270 protocol has the echo in the terminal (in this
case, an emulator).  If I'm wrong, and the characters are going
out ttyb to IBM-land and then coming back again for the echo, it
could be that our line is overloaded.  I realize that, in
Sun-land, the echo could be happening either in the workstation
or the gateway, since Sun can split up the emulation functions
as they please.  If someone can verify for me whether the serial
line (or the gateway process) is involved in the echo, it would
be helpful.

I would appreciate hearing about any similar experiences, (with
solutions, I hope :-) ), and I would also appreciate suggestions
about where to look for trouble.

Thanks in advance; email your replies, let me know if you'd like
a summary, you know the routine.

You can browse the on-line AT&T Toolchest by dialing its host system at

The cslip-2.6 is heartily recommended.  Apart from a slightly awkward Makefile
it runs and installs like a charm.

The install docs are correct.

It looks like you have a bunch of entries in your /etc/fstab that are doing mounts under /net/laurel.
If you start up the automounter it'll just ignore these and mount over /net - thereby hiding
all the underlying mounts.

If you do indeed have entries in your /etc/fstab that mount under /net, then remove
them and let the automounter take care of /net.

Subject: temporarily "freeze" user on console?
Organization: Florida Atlantic University, Boca Raton
Date: Thu, 7 Jan 1993 23:13:41 GMT

I teach in a university lab with 14 Sun SPARC IPCs (running SunOS 4.1.2,
NIS/YP and all sharing the same fileserver with NFS).  The class meetings
in the lab often consist of lectures, during which some of my students
succumb to the temptation of reading news, playing Tetris, etc.  Rather
than face up to the fact that my lectures are just not that exciting :-)
I'm looking for some good method to disable their use of the SPARCs during
the lecture part of the class meeting.  What I want is some clean, simple
way to "freeze out" use of the workstation by the user sitting at the
console by running something from my own workstation at the front of the
lab.

I can use rsh to run processes on their machines.  I can also run as root,
and of course we could turn something into a suid script.  (For example, I
use rsh and some scripts to start up X servers on each of the machines and
then to run xmx to display X11 applications on all their screens.) My
intuition on this problem is that the cleanest method would be to somehow
disable keyboard (and maybe mouse) input on each of the student machines.

They may or may not be running X Windows at the time. (If they weren't, I
could detect this and start up my own clientless X server.)  I'd like to
avoid the real draconian solutions like logging them off or killing the
machine; there may be other people logged in by rlogin, and sometimes the
lecture ends and I'd like them to pick up in their work exactly where they
left off when the lecture started.

Any suggestions?  Response by e-mail, please.  (And if you think I've
missed sending this to a newsgroup that could help, please let me know.)

Thanks a lot.
