There ARE ways of accessing a database which is not bound into
the domain hierarchy.  This is what using tagged domain notation
is all about.  See below.

This is dangerous, because you may well have some very, very
strange child domain binding occurring.  Rather:

	server-16# cd /etc/netinfo
	server-17# netinfod backup
	server-18# niutil -read -t localhost/backup /
	...

Yes, this is one VERY nice addition to 3.0's NIM.  In the
example I gave above, rather than using niutil, just use
NetInfoManager's Domain->Open by Tag [Cmd-O].

See above.  If the netinfod is started by nibindd, the domain can
be "known."  Indeed, you might even want to do some of this kind
of work on a stand-alone network.  At least, do this kind of work
when the network's pretty quiet and machines are unlikely to boot,
thus minimizing the chances a child domain will inappropriately
be bound to the netinfod backup.

Well, I've held off for several days hoping that someone more qualified would
answer, but...

[Portions of this information may be wrong.  Instead of flaming me, just
 post the corrections....]

Here's how you can do it with "standard" disks:

BuildDisk normally (in 2.1 or higher) dynamically figures out a disktab
entry for your disk and offers you the two standard configurations you see.

However, if you create the proper entry in /etc/disktab, BuildDisk will use
this entry instead of the default entry for a single partion.

The best way for you to create the entry is to pay $15 to Rory Bolt, and use
his excellent "SCSI Formatter" (formatter_1.2.tar.Z on the archives) to
generate a disktab entry for you.  After you've copied this entry into
/etc/disktab, you can then modify it and builddisk will use this entry
when you choose "single partition" (even if you've set up three partitions
in the disktab entry.)

Alternately, if you don't want to use the formatter (foolish!), you can
find out the disk name with the following:

paranoia# /usr/etc/disk /dev/rsd0a
disk name: MAXTOR XT-8760S
disk type: fixed_rw_scsi
Disk utility

disk> quit

The name is "MAXTOR XT-8760S," so for your disktab, put that name as the
first parameter:

# MAXTOR XT-8760S default partion for Builddisk's "single partition" choice
MAXTOR XT-8760S|MAXTOR XT-8760S w/1024 byte sectors as 1 partition or whatever:\
	:ty=fixed_rw_scsi:nc#1632:nt#15:ns#28:ss#1024:rm#3600:\
	:fp#160:bp#0:ng#0:gs#0:ga#0:ao#0:\
	:os=sdmach:z0#32:z1#96:r0=a:\
	:pa#0:sa#676256:ba#8192:fa#1024:ca#32:da#4096:ra#10:oa=time:\
		:ia:ta=4.3BSD:

Now I have to admit that I just used the formatter program to generate the
rest of the entry, but you'll be forced to try to do it by hand.  Best of
luck.

In either case, you should now be able to run BuildDisk, choose "single
partition" (even if your configuration is NOT a single partition) and
it will work!

Valid for 2.1, 2.2.

Subject: NNTP server access problems in NewsGrazer
Keywords: NNTP server
Date: 13 Oct 92 14:07:59 GMT

We have just added another NeXTstation to our netinfo network and I  
*think* I have configured everything that's needed.  The problem I'm  
having is with NewsGrazer that when I fire it up I get the message  
"Access denied to NNTP server on machine 'news.duke.edu' try again  
later.  Other stations can access it just fine and I can telnet into  
that machine.  One possible clue is that this is a new machine whose  
name may not yet be on our nameserver.  Could this be the problem or  
does anyone have any suggestions where to look next.

Thanks.

I had the identical problem (even though the printer was local, not networked).   
The problem is in ppd file from Adobe.  I reported this as a bug to NeXT in PR2  
and after I got 3.0 up.  They recently sent me the following fix.  Meanwhile, I  
got everything to work except for the special features by setting the printer  
type to "Unknown".  It is now set to "Apple LaserWriter Personal NT".  This  
problem may exist with other printers as well.

/NextLibrary/PrinterTypes/English.lproj/Apple_LaserWriter_Personal_NT.ppd
Code in the original file:
*PageSize Letter: "statusdict /lettertray get exec"
*PageSize Legal: "statusdict /legaltray get exec"
*PageSize A4: "statusdict /a4tray get exec"
*PageSize B5: "statusdict /b5tray get exec"
*PageSize LetterSmall: "statusdict /lettertray get exec lettersmall"
*PageSize A4Small: "statusdict /a4tray get exec a4small"

Change it to:
*PageSize Letter: "statusdict begin lettertray end"
*PageSize Legal: "statusdict begin legaltray end"
*PageSize A4: "statusdict begin a4tray end"
*PageSize B5: "statusdict begin b5tray end"

Yes, but the performance is really bad.  There appears to be a lot of protocol  
going on that SLIP deals badly with. My simple benchmark involved passing 108  
byte packets between a client and server, and timing the overall throughput. 

With the client and server on the same machine, I got a throughput of about  
5KBytes/sec. Over the SLIP line, I got 27 BYTES/sec (!). There was an average  
of 4 seconds per packet. 

So much for the remote mail-reader using distributed objects over SLIP...

About the only thing that comes to my simple mind is to backup the
current /etc/netinfo directory and maybe /etc/hostconfig on a
machine that can be off your net for a while, replace these with the
files you want to examine, bring up the machine with the old netinfo
database, do appropriate nidumps, do an nilist or niprint to catch
anything what the nidumps miss.  I've taken to doing nidumps and
and nilist whenever I want to preserve a NetInfo database, as these
allow easy recovery of specific little items, like a user's password
or a printcap entry.

I use FTP Software's PC/TCP on the PC with a 3c503 ethernet card. I can:

- Backup the PC to the NeXT's optical using PC/TCP's rexec/tar
- Mount next disks using PC/TCP's NFS. The mounts just show up as additional

You have two options:
a) initialize the disk, load the essentials and load the packages.
you will need to back up all the files you have added to the
system
b) reload the essentials and packages on top of an existing system.
You will need to back up the contents of /private that are important
and then restore them.

a) is time consuming b) produces a system less efficient since
all the software that needs to load quickly are no longer located
close together (system fragmentation)

I have done both a and b

upgraded to 3.0, it no longer works; any attempt to send a fax at a later  
date or time results in the fax going out immediately.  Has anybody run  
into this?  Does anyone know how I might fix it?  Please reply via email  
and I'll summarize.  Thanks in advance!

We have observed and reported to NeXT this problem.  No workaround
was offered, so we turned off AppleTalk stuff.  It will be an
unused 3.0 "feature" until it works.

Doing upgrade with the mono display attached does not necessarily
guarantee that mono display continues to work.

I did the upgrade of an ND cube with the monochrome monitor attached,
but when Rel3.0 came up, it was disabled.  However, it was a relatively
simple matter of enabling it with the Preferences app in its Screens panel.
No need to mess with the NetInfo directly.

Each user has to enable the mono screen though, it seems.
