What AIX version are you running ?
In 3.1.5 we had lot of problems because of a -wm option of the Xserver,
required for certains applications.
The automounter was also eating swap space.

In 3.2 all seems to be ok. (In 3.2.3 however the flag -wm seems to be again a
problem...)

Date: Fri, 29 Jan 1993 05:13:58 GMT

I have two hosts running AIX 3.2 right now and one of the hosts
can send and receive from the internet in general and one of the
hosts can transmit to the internet, but NOT receive.  The
hosts are nearly identically configured for their DNS and they
are secondary servers for each other's domain.  Here is a typical
sendmail transcript to the one that IS working correctly:

Here is the transcript to the one that is NOT working correctly -

I have enabled MX records in /etc/sendmail.cf.  Here are the relevant

trico.tricon.com                IN      MX      0 aurora.tricon.com.

I am really stumped on this one right now and so is my SE.  He suggested
that I put "."'s after the domain names - but then it breaks completely and
doesn't work at all.

I agree - I've installed a model 340 with its built-in Ethernet (one

Autodesk used different keywords for their Lisp-interpreter in different

This was not very portable in international business.

Subject: RS6K Print Queue Question
Date: 22 Jan 93 15:43:47 GMT
Organization: Boeing AI Center, Huntsville, AL

BACKGROUND:

I am using an Interleaf product called WorldView on an IBM RS/6000
model 560.  WorldView is a tool that views PrinterLeaf files which
are in an Interleaf page description language.  When printing, the
Worldview tool must convert the PrinterLeaf to Postscript, but it
only knows how to do this for an AppleLaserwriter or HP LaserJet.

I need to print to a DEC LPS-40 printer.  WorldView does allow you
to configure the printing to use Interleaf for converting to
Postscript, allowing me to properly create a postscript for the
LPS-40.  In order for Interleaf to do this, it must modify the
print queue to perform what they call "double spooling."  The
problem is that the LPS-40 queue is a remote (LPD) queue and
Interleaf cannot properly modify it.

QUESTION:

Is there a way to define a LOCAL print queue on the RS/6000 that
sends it's output to a remote queue on the same host?  This
remote queue would then send it's output to the remote host.

One other small question:  Is there a way to do ANY KIND of
accounting on remote print queues?  This may be a FAQ but I

Malcom,

	You're banging you head against the wall. It took our lab 2 months
to create a special IBM RS6K compatible firmware version for the OEM
CD-ROM subsystems we sell into the RS6K/AIX environment. It wasn't easy
by any means and it required making modifacations to the drive, not
to AIX under SMIT as we would all really like.

	We tried making "Weird Incantations" over the ODM database using 
ODME but all we did is wrecked our system real good. IBM was really 
crafty (or twisted) when they devised the ODM database for applying
device recognition and support to a dynamic kernel. Not only does
it keep people's noses out of their laundry basket it also manages
to five their Service organizations a boost of business from time to time.

I stand chastised. There are other reasons for doing it. I was assuming that
if you knew enough to do performance tuning type stuff then you would
ignore the post in instances where it was necessary. But there are a lot of
people out there (even ones who can do the performance tuning) who seem to
think that it's *necessary* to muck around with lvs in order to modify
filesystems.

I just  have the following lines in the /etc/security/user file

root:
        admin = true
        rlogin = false
        telnet = false


This prevents root logins from anywhere other than the console.  Of
course, one can still log in and su to root.

You are being to general I think.

This probably is not working because your /usr is mounted readonly.
automount needs to be able to create a symlink in /usr called 'local'
and he can't since /usr is readonly.

You should be able to work around this with symlinks etc.
Create a symlink on the /usr server so that /usr/local points to
say '/tmp/userlocal' which is an automount directory, so you get
what you want.

See?
