I believe there are at least 3 conditions to be met for xterm to write
in utmp:
   (1) You have to have all the correct defines set up so that the
       in the code for it is present in the binary.
   (2) The various switches/resources at invocation have to work out
       so that the effect is "+ut" and thus 'xterm' will attempt to update utmp.
and
   (3) /etc/utmp has to be writable by 'xterm'.  On most systems, this
       means that 'xterm' has to be setuid root.

I have an application that needs to find the IP address for remote
users (it basically adds or deletes certain privileges based on the
user's subnet address).  It seemed like the easiest way was to find
the terminal entry in /etc/utmp and, if a host name was present,
resolve it back to the IP address with gethostbyname().  But the
name has been truncated to 16 characters and frequently doesn't leave
enough to resolve.  Any other way to find the IP address?

Keywords: virtual memory missing paging space


Does anyone know a way to tell exactly where all one's memory
is being used at?  I've got two 520's running 3.2.1 which have
been up and running since July 9.  That's fine, but I think
I'm slowly loosing memory (I mean on the RSs :)  Both 'lsps -a'
and monitor seem to agree that I've got 60MB of paging, and about
52MB used leaving 8 or so free.  I would normally not argue, but
running with 8MB free is getting awfully tight.  So, I add up
the outputs of size from 'ps aux', 'ps -kel'.  They seem to both
add up to around 32 MB in use.  So, where is the other 20MB
of virtual memory?  It sure would be nice to have it back :)  This
is even after running slibclean.  What I want, is a way to find
out who/what is using that 20MB of memory.  If something is using
it productively,  that's OK, but I still want to know where it is!

I could probably cure all this by rebooting, but, I usually view
that as the last response on the two servers.  Besides, as they
say "I shouldn't HAVE to do that".

Thanks!

Subject: Program hangs when linked without shared libraries
Date: 29 Dec 92 02:25:30 GMT
Organization: GTE Laboratories


I am trying to debug a program which is crashing.  When I ask dbx for
a stack trace, the addresses shown for library routines do not make
sense.  I believe this is due to dbx not being able to decipher
addresses in shared libraries.  Therefore, I have tried to link with
non-shared libraries.  I followed the directions in the 'ld' man page,
and used the following arguments (to 'cc' actually):

    cc -o <output_file> -bnso -bI:/lib/syscalls.exp ... <lots of .o files>
		<lots of -l arguments>

This caused 'ld' to complain about an undefined symbol that it had never
needed when linking with shared libraries.  I added the argument
'-liconv' to resolve this problem and 'ld' produced an executable for
me.

However when I tried to run the executable, it appeared to hang.  It
used 45 minutes of CPU time (as reported by 'ps') before I finally
gave up and killed the process.  The code contains a number of
printf()s followed by fflush(stdout)s in its initialization routine.
The messages never appeared on stdout, so it appears that the program
did not even get as far as entering its initialization routine.

Any ideas?

I just received several errors during a backup by name of my system stating
the filenames are too long.  The files in question have a filename length
of about 80 characters so it is above the SYSV limit, but well below the BSD
length of 240.

Is this a feature or bug?  I would assume that since AIX supports the BSD

We run CATIA on some RS/6000's here, it seems to work just
fine.  It appears to have all the functionality that the
mainframe versions have. It is CATIA. Some parts of it are a bit 
annoying.  It is clearly a "direct port" from MVS (as 
direct as one could hope to be).  It makes HPGL plot files
that run most HP (same as IBM) plotters.  It won't autofeed the
HP7550's though, but it's easy to write a filter.

It's not too hard to modify the user's environment, but if you
don't know anything about CATIA, a-priori, the documentation
won't help you learn.  Basically, the docs suck.  In addition,
the IBM telephone support is (I think) just a direct line to
Dassault Systems.  (If you plan to buy CATIA from IBM!)  I called
the support line once, they responded a month later.  That's not
very good for such an expensive product.  Maybe it was just because
I was percieved as an "internal" customer (i.e. worthless piece of
s--t).


There is a product that some guys in IBM Manassas worked on
called ICEEE,  all the doc's are currently labeled Internal Use
Only but it may be available to the rest of the world soon (just speculation!).
Manassas is the Federal Systems Division.  ICEEE is a reasonably
good, Motif-menu driven system that provides easy CATIA model
transfer from MVS systems that are running TCP/IP to RS/6000's.
It's easy for designers to use who know nothing about UNIX, etc.
CATIA provides some sort of utiliy to transfer models between
MVS and AIX but it doesn't look very nice and easy to use.  ICEEE allows
one to maintain model comonality on the RS/6000 and MVS. 

ICEEE does do some annoying things, however.  It "takes over" some of
the normal operating system functions (like on some of the older versions
it wouldn't let user's change their passwords without being given
permission).  The interface itself is a bit slow.  But, our designers
seem to like it.  It also allows you to use mainframe-attached output
devices.

If you have any more questions let me know.

I have a 530H running AIX 3.2.2 and I'm having a very strange problem with
the "@" operator in csh.  Here is the scenario:

	I have a script that uses "@" such as:

	   @ n = 1

	The script is called by cron every Saturday.  For some unknown 
	reasons, my script always failed on the line containing the "@"
	operation with the following error:

	   @: Badly formed number

	My crontab entry looks like:

	   0 2 * * 6 /bin/csh -f /root/bin/fullback

	I've run the script manually and the problem did not occur.
	So I tested the script with cron again, by adding a crontab entry that
	will run in the next minute.  And VOILA!! It also works.  However, my
	regularly scheduled cron job (every Saturdays) always failed on the "@".

I've called the AIX Software Defect and was told that there were 3 major
fixes to the C shell.  So I'm hoping that the fix I'm getting will fix
my problem.

Has anyone else seen this problem??

Thanks to those that responded!  It seems that on the IBM 340 and 350
(at least) they have integrated the Ethernet onto the planar board,
and have a riser card to get it out of the system.  On the riser card,
there is a set of jumper blocks that have to be moved for dix vs bnc
connections.  After moving the jumpers, everything worked fine!

P.S.  Doesn't this (the jumpers...) get away from the 'MCA' philosophy
      of having everything settable via software?  I guess since it's no
      longer an MCA card it doesn't matter.  What would have been nice
      I think is a 'message' on the 'smit chgenet' screen about
      'Connector ADAPTER ....     settable via jumpers' where the other
      systems will toggle from dix to bnc.
