Of course it will--/etc/fstab is read *before* NetInfo starts.
Put your local hard drives in /etc/fstab, and your NFS mounts
in NetInfo.

	[/etc/fstab]
	/dev/sd0a / 4.3 rw,noquota,noauto 0 1
	/dev/sd1a /External 4.3 rw,noquota 0 2

This will cause the external disk to be properly mounted at boot
time, and the automounter will leave it alone.

No! No! No!  /etc/mtab is maintained by the mount(8) utility to
parallel the kernel's mount state.  You should not ever be
editing this file.  (And if you really do need to add something

use  mount -f)

This is actually a sendmail property. (As I heard from the net, NeXT
Inc. seemd to have included the sendmail in NetInfo in 3.0. Is that
true? How does it affect things?) 

What you want to do (in 2.1 at least ;-) ) is to include a line like

mailprg: "|/usr1/gemoe/Apps/mailprg.filter"

in your /etc/sendmail/aliases file. (Remember to do a "newaliases"
in a shell!) Here, "mailprg" is a pseudonym (there is no user like
that) just for sendmail. All mail going to
mailprg@proximus.north.de gets actually piped to the program
/usr1/gemoe/Apps/mailprg.filter. Easy, hey? 

Also you might want (for a mailing list) a mechanism like 

mailing_list: :include:/usr/local/lib/sendmail/mailing.list

This includes a File (/usr/local/lib/sendmail/mailing.list).
Here it means that any mail to mailing_list@proximus.north.de gets
actually send to the names in a comma-seperated list in the file. (But
be aware that lists can only be 1000 chars long due an design fault.
This is no real problem, just include the next file at the end of the
previous one. (="chaining")) The enties in such a file could look
like: 

Name1 <foo@bar.edu>, \
Name2 <blupp@bla.de>, \
...

(This is how I do it. Though I use sendmail 5.65-ida, it should work for
all sendmails.)

The only remaining problem is the administration of the list. Adding
and removing users, sending help-files, etc. has to be done. As my
mailing list is small, this is no real problem, but I would like to have
good programs that do the job and no time to write them (scripts should
do the job) -- if anyone out in the net knows some decent mailing list
administration programs, I would be glad to know!!! 

	Bye, Gerhard.

We've noticed that none of our Next filesystems use more than 17% of the inode  
space allocated by newfs.  We're considering changing the newfs default for  
inode allocation from (roughly) 1-per-4096 bytes to 1-per-8192 (halving the  
number of inodes), but before doing that, I wanted to get a feel for what other  
people are doing.  I know that the "news" filesystem is a special case, but,  
other than that, does anyone have any recommendations in this area?  Any

Solaris 2.0 contains SunOS 5.0, which is SVR4 based.  SVR4 is a merge of
BSD and SVR3 (and random other cruft); it'll still have BSD groups, for
example, just as SunOS 4.x does.  It'll also have the SysV /etc/rc#.d/*
model rather than the BSD /etc/rc.local, and other good stuff.

Sure, it'll be a change, but at least there's some point to it (unlike,
say, the NeXTStep 3.0 include file reorg :).

I *still* like the SysV cron better, and I'm glad Sun included it in 4.x.

Subject: Netbooting
Date: 16 Dec 92 15:01:23 GMT
Originator: matthews@oberon.umd.edu

I've got a bit of a problem here.

I'm trying to netboot one NeXT off another NeXT, which is easy enough to do.
The catch, though, is the netboot server is in a different subnet, going
through two routers on an FDDI ring.

The boot goes fine -- /private/tftpboot/boot is loaded, then
/private/tftpboot/mach, then it goes around, says the primary ethernet
interface is en0 [some not quite right number -- where DOES it get that,
anyway?] then it gets its hostname, says whoami: no domain name, and panics
because it can't mount root.

The netboot server is exporting root to anyone who cares to mount it (it's on
an isolated network, so security is not a big concern).  If I boot off SCSI
disk, and mount the netboot server's root as, say, /tmp/otherroot, it works
fine.

Netbooting another NeXT on the same subnet as the netboot server works fine,
and both are configured.  I know the bootparams are set up right (well, I'm
reasonably sure).  I know the ethernet address is entered right, as
-AUTOMATIC- works for hostname and IP address on normal booting (btw, if you
wish to do that through a gateway, you have to move the IP Routing code from
/etc/rc to /etc/rc.boot, to right before it tries to do hostname -AUTOMATIC-).

But it can't mount the root directory and dies.  I know, via router
debugging, that it sends out a sunrpc call to the correct host, presumably to
to the NFS mount.  It does not look like the call's ever making it to the
netboot server, though, by debugging on the other router.

But why, then, does it work when the machine boots up normally?  What's
different? 

And where the heck does the first, seemingly bogus, primary ethernet address
come from, anyway?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello, netfolk.

Under other OS's, I have gotten used to being able to print to a file,
the idea being to take this file later to a machine connected to a
printer and print it there.

As I have no printer connected to my NeXT (anyone selling a used NeXT

this same ability under NeXTSTEP.

I searched for Print in Dig.Lib., but found nothing applicable.  Does
anyone know how this can be done under NS3.0???

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

   This is where I think your terminology is off;

     BSD _IS_ a Kernel -&- OS.

   Somebody who knows more about NeXTOS and Mach can correct my terminology if

Well, there has been occasional discussion on the net what
micro-kernel actually means, but I believe that most would agree that
the version of Mach used by NeXT does not fit any of them. There is
not actually any clear separation between a Mach micro-kernel which
runs a distinct "BSD process". Instead /mach seems to be compiled from
sources which freely mix both CMU Mach and BSD Unix. A superficial
examination of disassembled code seems to indicate that most of
the fundamental system services such as process or memory management
seem to be fairly pure Mach, while most of the rest like terminal
drivers or NFS seems to be compiled from BSD sources with a number of
interface routines added which implement BSD process or memory
management in terms of the equivalent Mach services.

I missed part of this thread, but back a while the topic was more about

change direction and has some mis-statements in it...

GB> gbrown@raven.ctr.columbia.edu (Glenn Brown) writes:

GB> Also, Suns are BSD machines but run SunOS.

Well, only to a point.  Actually SunOS (up to 4.1.3) has taken most of the
better "features" of both BSD and SysV.  I believe that a _long_ time ago
they started w/ BSD code ('cause it was cheap ;-), but through the years they
have drifted towards the SysV side of things.  

One point I wanted to make is that SunOS ?.? (Solaris 2.0) is going to be
entirely SysV-ish.  IMHO, this is BAD; Certain features of BSD "features"
(group permission semantics being my biggest sticky point) are going away in
favor of SysV mechanisms.  (but I'm more of a admin/user than a OS or kernel
guru, so my opinions start from a diffferent vantage point.)
