Version 2.10 of lsof is available via anonymous ftp from ftp.cc.purdue.edu
(128.210.24.2) in pucc/lsof2.tar.Z.  This represents a residency change for
lsof from j.cc.purdue.edu, a host that will be shut down December 30, 1992.

Lsof (for LiSt Open Files) displays information on files opened by processes
in the following versions of Unix: AIX 3.2, EP/IX 1.4.3, ETAV*, DYNIX 3.0.12
and 3.1, HP-UX 7.x and 8.x, IRIX 4.0.5, NeXTStep 3.0 and SunOS 4.1.[12].

Version 2.10 contains:

	* Significant improvements to the handling of inaccessible NFS file
	  systems and files (not thoroughly tested on IRIX or HP-UX);

	* Corrections to the interpretation of symbolic links to files and
	  file system names.

	* The sense of the -T option (EP/IX 1.4.3 only) has been reversed;

	* An attempt has been made to make the code ANSI C compliant;

	* A matching file name argument is always printed in the NAME column,
	  even when other selection criteria have been used;

	* Miscellaneous HP-UX 8.x bug fixes.

/bin/telnet needs to be suid root; if it's not, you'll get this error.  
chown root.system /bin/telnet; chmod 4555 /bin/telnet
should clear this up.

We have two rs6000/320's running AIX 3.2.  Recently we have started getting
messages on the console from 'sendmail daemon' that look like someone is
sending mail to invalid users on the machine.  I thought I'd find out what
system was sending the messages and clear up whatever misunderstanding they
had, but I have been unable to figure out how to determine who is sending
the mail.  I've learned about syslog, and set up our syslog.conf files to
log everything, but the sendmail message for a message to a non-existant
user just gives the to address and 'status user unknown'.  Cranking up the
debug level in sendmail.cf doesn't seem to product anything more useful.
How do I get sendmail to log all connections the way VM/TCPIP/SMTP does?

Also, when I sent test messages to invalid users, while the sendmail
message appeared where syslog.conf told it to, I did not get a message
on the console.  I hadn't told syslog.conf to do so, but even before I
got the syslog stuff working, the messages were not appearing on the
console.  So were the events that triggered the original 'sendmail daemon:'
messages on the console /not/ simple misdirected mail errors?  An example
of one of the messages is:

sendmail daemon: murray... User unknown: A file or directory in the path name
does not exist

This is not the message logged by syslog when I send my test messages.

When you boot from the boot/maintenance diskettes and enter maintenance
mode, enter "getrootfs hdisk0 sh" instead of "getrootfs hdisk0" where
hdisk0 is the name of the boot disk.  Then run "fsck /dev/hd2".

I think the reason all these files were moved to /usr was so that all 
these files could be mounted from a remote machine.  For example, you 
could have a diskless machine or a disk-full machine mount /usr from
a remote machine to save space.  For compatibility sakes (ie. shell scripts
with a #!/bin/ksh at the top), these files are also linked to /bin or whatever.

You didn't state what your actual agregate loading of
the concentrator is.  If you don't think you have
much of a load on it then this could be caused by
noise due to poor/no grounding or shielding on cables.
It really pays to understand your concurrent loading
and distribute it wisely across the concentrators.

As I recall (and I could have the models mixed up) the older desktops and the
larger machines have an ethernet card which is removable, has both types of
connections, and is configurable in software. The 220s have dix only and
you have to use a suitable transceiver. The newer non-220 desktops (340
and 350) have a different ethernet card. It's integrated in that it
comes with the machine and part of the card is on the motherboard. However
it is not software configurable. You have to move a jumper on the card to
toggle between bnc and dix. And in smit you get to choose N/A rather than
bnc or dix.

I'm need to find a method for "liscencing" software on an AIX system. On
a Sun I would use hostid to get a unique identifier for the machine I'm on.
Under AIX, hostid seems to be made from the system's hostname, IP address
or just a random hex number, so it's easy for someone with root access to
bypass any access restriction scheme based on hostid.

Is there anyway of getting a machine specific identifier which is not
easily faked? Under SVR4, one could use sysinfo to get the serial number
of the machine, is this possible under AIX?

Thanks in advance ....

I'm having some major problems with Netware on AIX. The printserver dies
both because of the watchdog program & for various other reasons. When
it dies, re-starting it doesn't seem to allow printing. If I restart 
Netware entirely, printing works but then terminal emulation doesn't.
The only way to get around these problems is to re-boot the server (Not
something I'd like to do 10 times a day). The AIX is 3.2.3, I'm not sure
of the Netware version. If anybody has any insight into these problems,
I'd really appreciate it.
