As the maintainer and principle hacker of gatekeeper's ftpd, I would like
to have these diffs mailed to me once they are known to be stable.  That
way I can include them in the gatekeeper version, even though we don't use
hesiod here.

Interesting.... I *am* using v.42bis modems that can do 14.4K without
compression, if I turn on the compression and error correction my ping
times go up and my ftp time are horrible.  The only thing I change is
the compression and error correction settings on the modem (one end
only the other end autodetects).  BTW 200mSec is about the order of my
ping times so I wonder if that has anything to do with it.

The lastest edition is called dbmalloc, and is in comp.sources.misc, vol 34,
I think.  At least this was true about two months ago.  On a 5000/200, the
total elapsed time between copying the archive to my machine and finding
and fixing my malloc bug was less than three hours -- a real tribute to 
both the construction of the archive and to the ease of use of the product.
This time includes running the dbmalloc test suite.

There are a few documentation bugs;  some of the environment variables you're
supposed to set are misnamed in the documentation.  Here's how to get the
right names:  each of the environment variables is also the name of
a #define in a .h file;  the docs either insert an extra underbar or leave
one out of some of the variables.

Not only that, but if you edit /etc/crontab the Ultrix cron (well, my
version at least, 4.2A) does not even notice the change, I guess
because the modify time on the link /usr/lib/crontab does not change.
This gave me fits until I moved the file to /usr/lib (and made
/etc/crontab a link, just in case).

The 'To:' line is treated just like the rest of the message body. If you're

Yep using data compression modems with slip is bad news.  I had heard
this before but did not believe it so I tried it myself.  Keeping all
other things the same and just enabling the compression and error
correction on my modems makes my slip link *slower*, the ping times

Not being familiar with the SunOs version, I can't say how similar it
is, but there was a malloc debugging package posted to
comp.sources.reviewed some time ago by Conor Cahill, called malloclib.
It should be available from the standard archive sites.

NOTE: I haven't actually used this myself yet (haven't needed it).  It

We have a DecStation 5000/200 with Ultrix 4.2, currently with two
RRD42 CD-players connected.  This DS works as a file server in a
network of other DecStations, Macs and PCs.  The PCs communicate with
the DS via PC-NFS 3.5b.  The problem I'm having is that PC-NFS mangles
all filenames containing uppercase letters on the server, and all files on
CDs shows up on the DS with only uppercase letters.  PC-NFS does nothing
special to lowercase-only filenames, so they will look OK on a PC.
  
  What I'm looking for is a patch for the cdfs part of the kernel such
that filenames appear in lowercase letters only.  Has anyone seen such
a patch?   

  Please reply by email, and I'll summarize to the net.  Thanks in
advance.

I do not observe this effect in 4.2A.  I have the standard link layout
and the standard Ultrix cron.  Whenever I edit /etc/crontab, cron notices
right away. I've even added an entry only a few seconds before it was due

I find this very strange indeed.

I run a system with 5 full-time slip links, and various dynamic dial-in
links;  we use Telebit T1600 modems exclusively.

Error correction/data compression has been a _big_ win for us.  Without
it, we get FTP rates of ~.94KBS (just what you'd expect on a 9600 baud
line).  With compression enabled and the DTE speeds at 38400 or higher,
we get between 1.7 and 2.1 KBS on uncompressed data, and .96 KBS on
pre-compressed files.

I have no idea what could be causing the slowdown for you people, but
V32/V42bis should be a performance winner, not loser.

This will happen whenever the user that is executing 'su' is not
associated with a tty (i.e. not listed in utmp).

I can do this very easily.  For example,
   % rsh machineb sh
   su

Now, the rsh runs an 'sh' for me, but does not give me a tty.
Then, when I execute the su, I will get a "(null)" entry in 
sulog.

Hope this helps,

Mike

This has been reported to Digital and is being addressed, I think it has to
do with the settings for owner and group on the file /etc/syslog.pid.  The
workaround is to set the correct owner/group for the file.

The *proper* place is in /etc/crontab.  The link in /usr/lib is for
backwards compatibility and also since probaboly the ULTRIX cron code
was never changed to point to the proper place...
