I am having huge problems trying to use sendmail.mx to send mail
using mail-exchangers.

I am using a sun workstation which uses YP to resolve address.

Output from the command 'mail -v brian@panix.com' is

brian@panix.com... Connecting to panix.com via tcp...
brian@panix.com... Internal error
Saving message in /home/sun1/brian/dead.letter
/home/sun1/brian/dead.letter... Sent

It doesn't even look like it's trying to use the mail-exchanger!

is there a patch to sendmail which I am missing, or am I going about
this all wrong?

Thanks in advance,
Brian

This would depend on the connection to the upper-level nameservers.
I don't have the problem here:

An alternative solution would be to get a Centronics style parallel printer
cable for the LX.  I haven't seen the list price yet, but if it is the same
cable as for the SS-10, it is $75/B.  Then purchase an HP LaserJet-4m.  The
LJ-4m is a dandy printer that does PostScript at 600 dpi for a *very* 
reasonable price.  The equivalent edu discounts for the SPARCPrinter and
the LJ-4m make them very nearly the same price.  Also, with Solaris 2.x 
the PostScript printer support is bundled, so you won't need TranScript or
NewsPrint software to drive it.

Just my $0.02 savings :-)

Originator: parker@lyra
Keywords: Sun, OpenWindows, Text Editor, Journal
Organization: University of Colorado, Boulder
Date: Fri, 20 Nov 1992 21:25:04 GMT

I have encountered a bug using OpenWindows v.2

Details:
   * I double-clicked a file called foo.tex in the file manager window.
   * This brought up the file foo.tex in a text edit window
   * I edited the hell out of the file foo.tex
   * As I was working on the file (I forget if I was splitting the screen by
     pulling down from the top button on the scrollbar or if I selecting a
     block of text) the file manager window disappeared and took the file I
      was working on with it.
   * I was able to locate the file that appeared to be the log file of the
      editing session.  It was called Text3665.0, and here is the long
      directory listing:

-rw----r--  1 joel        16167 Nov 19 13:37 /tmp/Text3665.0

   * This file contains a bunch of control caracters and blocks of text
      from the file {blocks that I had cut and pasted}.
   * I copied the log file into another file called foo.tex.log for
      safe-keeping.
   * The file foo.tex in my directory is still the UNedited version.
   * There are no mid-edit version of the file anywhere that I can find.

Question:
   * How (if possible) can I recover the editing changes I made (and lost)
      on the file foo.tex {I assume the logfile is somehow used...?}


If you can help me, please do not post here.  Send e-mail to me at:

 Thanks to all who pointed out patch 100272-04.

 This is the second 4.1.1 patch I have installed on 4.1.2.
(The other being 100425-01: whois - hard coded NICHOST.)

 I found another in.comsat patch, 100752-01, which apparently
(after installing it, I got more core files) does not contain
the fix found in 100272-04. 

 Time for an in.comsat jumbo patch???

We have a SUN 690 MP with six ethernet interfaces on it.  We intend to
grow this system to serve about 200 SUN clients.  With our data
requirements, we want to run no more than 16 clients per subnet.  This
is assuming that the NC400 board is as good as a cisco (big
assumption).  I am only assuming cisco because I like cisco, but am
open to any good alternatives.  We use both cisco and NSC boxes for
routing between sites, and to manage communications between differnt
types of networks.

Here is our dilemma.  We run diskles systems (all local disk is swap
with tmpfs).  We like the simplicity of administration this gives us. 
We may even consider beefing up to a SparcCenter 2000 by mid year, but
this does not (yet) address the problem of shear ethernet bandwidth to
200 clients.  I realize that even SUN itself has many clients per
server.  What is the best way to do it?  If broadcasts are not passed
by a router, then how do you boot through the cisco?
If you open up the cisco to pass broadcasts, then doesn't every
connected subnet see all broadcasts?

Secondly, how do you provide maximum bandwidth to each client?  What
is the best interface between the server and the router?  FDDI maybe?

Thirdly, each of the subnets needs access to the Amdahl running UTS
for our disk farm.  Does the cisco do SNA like the NSC?

Too many choices...

Inquiring minds want to know how you did it, or how you would do it
if you could do it all over again.

I will summarize.

Sorry, the answer is no. In SunOS 4.1.x you cannot have loadable SCSI

Peter is lucky Richard Feynman does not have an account on his system.
Readers of the physicist's autobiographies will remember his tales of
breaking into other people's safes in the Manhattan Project, including the
one where he found "pi=3.14159265" buried among some actual phone numbers
on a secretary's phone list and immediately divined that this was the safe
combination.

Of course, that was in the good old days when people were smarter and
security practices were dumber. ;-)

I don't know what you mean with /etc/host.conf (I guess you mean /etc/hosts, or this could be the mistake). BUT: if you really have configured the machines the way they should be configured did you also start the ypbind daemon on the client machines. if so (and if it is running) try to make a "touch /etc/hosts" and a "cd /var/yp" and then make another "make hosts" on the master NIS server once more.

I hope this helps

Hmm.... wonder what the cost of a 24 (32?) user RTU would be, compared
to the cost of a cheap 32-port terminal server...who said Sun was the
only company that could do telnet?

Subject: WordPerfect crashes on Demo documents!!
Keywords: Wordperfect Crash UNIX SunOS
Date: 20 Nov 92 22:13:34 GMT
Followup-To: poster
Distribution: usa
Organization: Northern Arizona University, Flagstaff AZ

System: SPARCstation 2 GS running SunOS 4.1.2 and Openwindows 3.0,
	WordPerfect 5.1 for UNIX.

Problem: Recently installed WordPerfect for UNIX crashes when
	 trying to view Demo documents. WP will exit and
	 occasionaly give errors in Console window.

Errors: PScanvas NeWS Error:
	process(0x2f8088, 'alfred.wr.usgs.gov NeWS client', runnable)
	Error: /invalidfont
	Command: 'findfont'
	Ostack: /save[4] /F1 12.0 /Times-RomanR
	Estack:
	  at: 'array_exec_cont' {/invalidfont *'standarderroraction'}
	  at: 'findfont' 'findfont'
	  at: '.array_exec_cont' ['exch' *'findfont' 'exch' ....
	.
	.
	.
	.

	and the following other NeWS errors: /undefined, 
	/stackunderflow.


I've reset the font path, no luck. Thought it might be a problem
with the wrong type of fonts present, but appears that fonts are 
correct.  So I'm at my wits end. WordPerfect has not been very
helpful in diagnosing or fixing this problem, so here I am.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, the machines user is starting
to get a little anxious about this problem.
