What you really mean is, it wouldn't be a problem if the IBMs hadn't *made*
the non-standard RPC call to begin with. If IBM is going to introduce new
features which are used over the network, I feel the onus is on them to make 
sure it doesn't have a detrimental effect on interaction with other vendors' 
systems. RS/6000's don't operate in a vacuum.

I wholeheartedly agree, however, that the Suns should not have crashed.

We have 5 RS/6000's at AIX 3.2.2, all of which mount disks from Suns running
4.1.2, and have yet to see a crash of this type. We don't use ACLs, but that
wouldn't seem to be a factor if the information is requested at mount time.

Date: Fri, 16 Oct 1992 00:55:14 GMT

 
    Hi, everyone:

    Does anyone has experience to build xterm on SUN and/or RS6000 ?

    I've got a CDROM with X11R5/GNU distribution. 
    It has MIT's xterm version as well as others, based on MIT's,
    versions. They are: cxterm_CHIN, kterm_JAP, exterm_MULTIBYTE, 
    volume9_colxterm and ximp.

    Unfortunately, there is not much information how to build (and
    use) actual xterm. 

    One thing it is huge and all this stuff won't fit my hard disk.
    It is obvious, that I don't need all this software under X11R5.

    I am running SunOS 4.1.3 version and have X installed on my machine.

    SUN has xterm executable and man page dedicated to it. However, 
    I need to modify source and build my own.

    Does anyone know what is the fastest way to build xterm from the
    software ? 

    My email address is "alec@boole.com". 

    My bus. tel. is (408) 524-3363.

    Thanks,      Alec Budman.

The equivalent of `_hz' is called `HZ' and is defined by param.h.  I
believe the equivalent of `_tick' is `CLKTICK', and is in the same
place.  There is no equivalent for `_tickadj'.

If you're trying to port NTP, don't bother.  Just grab:

On our Suns, at least, it usually means mountd isn't running. Or, if SGI has 
an elderly implementation of NFS, and your IBMs have been upgraded in the last
little while, you may have to start mountd on the IBMs with an option to allow 
compatibility with these versions. First run "rpcinfo -p" on the IBM and look 
for

    100005    1   udp    798  mountd
    100005    1   tcp    802  mountd

If these entries don't show up, mountd isn't running. This seems unlikely,
though, given that other systems can mount the IBM's disks.

Then try running mountd on the IBM with the "-n" option and see if that makes 
a difference. Read the man page for more details.

If neither of these is the problem, I'm stumped.

It is my understanding that CMT is only involved in the Dual ring
scenario, not in a single ring.  Single ring and Dual ring are
independent classifications aren't they?  Dual requires CMT since any
host that goes down causes the nearest neighbor to re-configure its
topology.  Single can't reconfigure, so how does it come up?  I'm new to
all this, so feel welcome to chastise me for my stupidity...

No, it shouldn't.  Something's hosed in your setup.  It's a little difficult
to diagnose at this distance, but NFS is probably the first place to start
looking.  

Of course if you're a freshman, your first job is to get the administrator
of the system, assuming that's not you, interested in the problem.
As the root userid won't have his directory mounted via NFS, have a ps
tried there and see what the difference is.

On my 220 I get:

I think you guys don't realize the purpose behind odm. It is a database, not
a tool that controls your system. Each developer uses that odm database in a 
different way. There can never be a tool that can fix problems on a global  
scale. Each developer is responible for providing enough tools to fix problems  
that may occur with his portion of the O/S. If there is a problem that is not  
solved easily, then you need to address that portion of the O/S that has caused  
the problem, not blame odm.

Just my two cents worth

From: stan@cs.SFSU.EDU (Stan Osborne)
Date: 8 Oct 92 02:19:53 PDT
Reply-To: stan@cs.sfsu.edu
Keywords: NIS, DNS, AIX


Perhaps I missed something in the documentation....

An application network is being built that will eventually have
300+ nodes all over California.  NIS will provide a common set 
of user names, etc.   The application network is a part of a
large institutional network (1000+ nodes and growing).

Is there a way to have NIS also search the institutional DNS 
database for host names?

The AIX documentation clearly says that DNS is not used if NIS
is enabled.  On Sun's this is the default but can be undone by  
using an optional library that uses DNS when nothing is found
in the NIS "hosts" map.

The institutional DNS is served by more than one Sun Sparc 
system. Could a second NIS domain be set up on one of the Suns
and used by NIS on the RS/6000s?  (The Sun NIS would also search
DNS and forward what it finds back to the RS/6000s.)

I have a (still slightly dirty) script I've used to create "stacked" tapes
from a directory of the install image files (copied from tape via bffcreate.)
It copies the boot files, builds the table of contents, and writes the install
files.  It handles multiple tape install sets correctly (for 1/4" tapes.)

It's not fully tested (especially with regards to writing the boot files at
512 chars and the rest at 1024 chars/block on 8mm tape, since I don't have a
spare system around with am 8mm tape drive, yet.)

I'm willing to share it with anyone.

Yes, it has (had) an (optional, if kit) RS-232 interface.  I have one of
these (got it appx. 7 years ago) and use it to set/maintain the time on
my ESIX 5.3.2D system.  I don't have a clue whether or not it is still
available though.  (I had heard a rumor that they (Heath) no longer sold
kits.  I bought mine as a kit but they did offer it pre-assembled as
well.)  Model number is GC-1000 and was called the "Most Accurate Clock"
(in case that helps).

Does anyone have a working copy of xwud under AIX
3.2.2?

Xwud is broken under AIX 3.2.2. E.g., if a colleague
makes a screen dump on a Sun workstation, xwud can not
display the dumped screen correctly to my RS/6000
(which has a 24-bit GTX4 card). Xwud will not save a
AIX window correctly unless the -bitmap option is
turned on. I called software support and got the
amazing answer that IBM is not yet officially
supporting xwud, although they are officially
supporting xwd.

I can convert xwd images to Postscript with xwd2ps and
display them with Ghostview, but this is somewhat
awkward. Does anyone have a xwud that works?

	Thanks,
