There are not the only ones, SCO's uname is also broken on SCO 3.2.4.
uname -r return 2 and uname -v returns 2.  It's a nightmare for software

The only time I have seen this is when there was some device (other than
an ASCII head) attached to the S1 serial port.  In my case it was a modemr.
When the machine was configuring, it tried to talk to the modem and the
modem tried to talk back.  This confused the machine and made it seem that
the modem was the primary console.  Disconect any devices on S1 and try again.

I just tried something similar.  I tried: rcp
riemann:/nusr/ajf/math/Cornell/FiniteSlab/\* .
(from an SGI to RS/6000 via an ethernet-to-token ring bridge)
and it worked.  The largest file I transfered was only 544KBytes or so. 
Are your
files larger?  If so you should check the max. allowed file size for your
user ID.  Maybe that's causing the problem. I hope this helps.

Since days I am looking for my fault in setting up the system.
What happened? In my department we connected a local net through
SLIP to the outer world, using AIX 3.1. After a system breakdown,
followed by a reboot we cannot connect per telnet to the other
host. All routing tables were checked, various variants tried,
instead using SMIT I used 'route'. NOthing. Reading the latest
postings about the unreliability of SLIP, I wonder whether it is
not my fault at all. Did someone experience similar things?
The system issues an error message that no route can be found.

**** BEWARE !!! ****

The listings in the Nemeth,Snyder & Seebass are bugged.
These are the bug we have found (and corrected...):

file sudo.c

the '#include <strings.h>' was modified as:

		#include <string.h>

and the statement (last line)

		if(n = index(n, '.')) *n = 0;

become:

		if(n = strchr(n, '.')) *n = 0;


in the function errexit() (page 474 if we have the same edition...)
there is a bug.  This fragment is listed twice, the first *BEFORE* the 
buffer 'cmd' is initialized!

		if((fd = popen(cmd, "w")) == NULL)
		{
			return;
		}

also in the errexit() function the author uses /usr/ucb/mail.

		(void) sprintf(cmd,
		"usr/ucb/mail -s \"HELP! %s@%s has problems.\" %s ",
		progname, hostname, ALERTMAIL);
		if((fp = popen(cmd, "w")) == NULL)
		{
			return;
		}

We prefer use /usr/bin/mail:

		(void) sprintf(cmd, "/usr/bin/mail %s", ALERTMAIL);
		if((fp = popen(cmd, "w")) == NULL)
		{
			return;
		}
		fprintf(fd,
		"Subject: WARNING! %s@%s has problems\n",
		progname, hostname);


In the function checkdoer() (page 476...) there are a couple of bugs that
are potentially very dangerous for security:

		if(strncmp(cp0, "all", 3) == 0)

is modified as:

		if(strcmp(cp0, "all\n") == 0)

and also this below:

		if(strncmp(cp2,ap,strlen(ap)) == 0)
		{
			(void) strncpy(res, cp0, cp1-cp0);
				/* copy command back */
			return;
		}

become:

		if(strncmp(cp2,ap,strlen(ap)) == 0)
		{
			(void) strncpy(res, cp0, cp1-cp0);
				/* copy command back */
			res[cp1-cp0] = '\0'; /* forces string termination */
			return;
		}


also in the mailmsg() there are the same problems as errexit():

		(void) sprintf(cmd,
		"/usr/ucb/mail -s \"*SECURITY* %s@%s tried %s\" %s ",
		user, hostname, *argv, ALERTMAIL);
		if((fp = popen(cmd, "w")) == NULL)
		{
			return;
		}

is modified as:

		(void) sprintf(cmd, "/usr/bin/mail %s", ALERTMAIL);
		if((fp = popen(cmd, "w")) == NULL)
		{
			return;
		}
		fprintf(fd, "Subject: *SECURITY* %s@%s -> %s\n",
		user, hostname, *argv);
		



We are using sudo extensively, and we are very satisfied!

I need to be able from process A to access process B's address

process A can do a write(fd,memory,size) call with elements from
process B's address space. I know I can go through /dev/mem but

Is there any way process A can 'attach' process B's address space ?

I have a problem with the xlf 2.2 compiler since I updated from Aix 3.1.5 to
3.2.1. After the update I installed the compiler, but now I get a warning
every time I invoke it:

> Error occurred while initializing the message system in file: xlfsmsg.cat
> Error occurred while initializing the message system in file: xlfmsg.cat

Nevertheless, all messages are displayed correctly. A similar message is
shown when a compiled Fortran-program issues a message.

My message files are in ($LANG=C)
  /usr/lpp/xlf/bin/default_msg    (dated: Aug 12 1991)
  /usr/lpp/msg/En_US              (dated: Aug 09 1991)

I found symbolic links in:
  /usr/lib/nls/msg/C
  /usr/lpp/msg/C
  /usr/lpp/msg/prime

Just one example:
       /usr/lpp/xlf/bin/default_msg/xlfmsg.cat
       /usr/lpp/msg/En_US/xlfmsg.cat
       /usr/lib/nls/msg/C/xlfmsg.cat -> /usr/lpp/xlf/bin/default_msg/xlfmsg.cat
       /usr/lpp/msg/C/xlfmsg.cat -> /usr/lpp/xlf/bin/default_msg/xlfmsg.cat
       /usr/lpp/msg/prime/xlfmsg.cat -> /usr/lpp/msg/En_US/xlfmsg.cat

All files are world-readable. So what else could be wrong ??? 
Thanks for any hints.

Flashing 888. I had two image backups one done with 3.2.2 one with 3.2.3
they both do the same thing! I have an IBM 8mm tape drive and all that.
So I would not trust those bootable tapes too much. I am now waiting for

    It is true that AIX will start killing process when it runs out of 
    page space.  You can disable this feature (i.e. protect a process)
    by it calling "signal(SIGDANGER, SIG_IGN)".  WRT to the idiot that
    decided to randomly kill processes, the decision is not random -- 
    processes are killed youngest first (in AIX 3.2) and if they ignore 
    SIGDANGER then they are not killed at all.

    To be sure there is lots of room for debate here.  Some will argue that
    the SUN decision of forcing there to be backing store for all virtual
    memory granted is the correct decision since memory shortages are 
    caught at malloc time.  Others prefer the AIX decision of only allocating 
    backing store as required.  The advantage of this is large sparse arrays 
    can be allocated on AIX but not on SUN.  The disadvantage is that backing 
    store shortages are not caught at malloc time.  I can work with either 
    decision.

My networking people came up with a small 802.3<->10base-T tranceiver made by
Computer Systems Products that DOES fit in the 320 back enclosure.  Their
phone number is 1-800-422-2537.  The part number is MTCV-1 and its order
number should be 420-025-000.
