WWW site ============================ http://www.next.com comp.sys.next.* newsgroups ========================== news:comp.sys.next.advocacy This is the "why NEXTSTEP is better (or worse) than anything else in the known universe" forum. It was created specifically to divert lengthy flame wars from .misc. news:comp.sys.next.announce Announcements of general interest to the NeXT community (new products, FTP submissions, user group meetings, commercial announcements etc.) This is a moderated newsgroup, meaning that you can't post to it directly. Submissions should be e-mailed to next-announce@digifix.com where the moderator (Scott Anguish) will screen them for suitability. Archives are available by ftp at ftp://ftp.stepwise.com/pub/Next_Announce_Archives Messages posted to announce should NOT be posted or crossposted to any other comp.sys.next groups. news:comp.sys.next.bugs A place to report verifiable bugs in NeXT-supplied software. Material e-mailed to Bug_NeXT@NeXT.COM is not published, so this is a place for the net community find out about problems when they're discovered. This newsgroup has a very poor signal/noise ratio--all too often bozos post stuff here that really belongs someplace else. It rarely makes sense to crosspost between this and other c.s.n.* newsgroups, but individual reports may be germane to certain non-NeXT- specific groups as well. news:comp.sys.next.hardware Discussions about NeXT-label hardware and compatible peripherals, and non-NeXT-produced hardware (e.g. Intel) that is compatible with NEXTSTEP. In most cases, questions about Intel hardware are better asked in comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware. Questions about SCSI devices belong in comp.periphs.scsi. This isn't the place to buy or sell used NeXTs--that's what .marketplace is for. news:comp.sys.next.marketplace NeXT stuff for sale/wanted. Material posted here must not be crossposted to any other c.s.n.* newsgroup, but may be crossposted to misc.forsale.computers.workstation or appropriate regional newsgroups. news:comp.sys.next.misc For stuff that doesn't fit anywhere else. Anything you post here by definition doesn't belong anywhere else in c.s.n.*--i.e. no crossposting!!! news:comp.sys.next.programmer Questions and discussions of interest to NEXTSTEP programmers. This is primarily a forum for advanced technical material. Generic UNIX questions belong elsewhere (comp.unix.questions), although specific questions about NeXT's implementation or porting issues are appropriate here. Note that there are several other more "horizontal" newsgroups (comp.lang.objective-c, comp.lang.postscript, comp.os.mach, comp.protocols.tcp-ip, etc.) that may also be of interest. news:comp.sys.next.software This is a place to talk about [third party] software products that run on NEXTSTEP systems. news:comp.sys.next.sysadmin Stuff relating to NeXT system administration issues; in rare cases this will spill over into .programmer or .software. Related Newsgroups ================== news:comp.soft-sys.nextstep Like comp.sys.next.software and comp.sys.next.misc combined. Exists because NeXT is a software-only company now, and comp.soft-sys is for discussion of software systems with scope similar to NEXTSTEP. news:comp.lang.objective-c Technical talk about the Objective-C language. Implemetations discussed include NeXT, Gnu, Stepstone, etc. news:comp.object Technical talk about OOP in general. Lots of C++ discussion, but NeXT and Objective-C get quite a bit of attention. At times gets almost philosophical about objects, but then again OOP allows one to be a programmer/philosopher. (The original comp.sys.next no longer exists--do not attempt to post to it.) Exception to the crossposting restrictions: announcements of usenet RFDs or CFVs, when made by the news.announce.newgroups moderator, may be simultaneously crossposted to all c.s.n.* newsgroups.

This system allows you to request online technical documents, drivers, and other software, which are then sent to you automatically. You can request documents by fax or Internet electronic mail, read them on the world-wide web, transfer them by anonymous ftp, or download them from the BBS. NeXTanswers is an automated retrieval system. Requests sent to it are answered electronically, and are not read or handled by a human being. NeXTanswers does not answer your questions or forward your requests. USING NEXTANSWERS BY E-MAIL To use NeXTanswers by Internet e-mail, send requests to nextanswers@next.com. Files are sent as NeXTmail attachments by default; you can request they be sent as ASCII text files instead. To request a file, include that file's ID number in the Subject line or the body of the message. You can request several files in a single message. You can also include commands in the Subject line or the body of the message. These commands affect the way that files you request are sent: ASCII causes the requested files to be sent as ASCII text SPLIT splits large files into 95KB chunks, using the MIME Message/Partial specification REPLY-TO address sets the e-mail address NeXTanswers uses These commands return information about the NeXTanswers system: HELP returns this help file INDEX returns the list of all available files INDEX BY DATE returns the list of files, sorted newest to oldest SEARCH keywords lists all files that contain all the keywords you list (ignoring capitalization) For example, a message with the following Subject line requests three files: Subject: 2101 2234 1109 A message with this body requests the same three files be sent as ASCII text files: 2101 2234 1109 ascii This message requests two lists of files, one for each search: Subject: SEARCH Dell SCSI SEARCH NetInfo domain NeXTanswers will reply to the address in your From: line. To use a different address either set your Reply-To: line, or use the NeXTanswers command REPLY-TO <your-address> If you have any problem with the system or suggestions for improvement, please send mail to nextanswers-request@next.com. USING NEXTANSWERS BY FAX To use NeXTanswers by fax, call (415) 780-3990 from a touch-tone phone and follow the instructions. You'll be asked for your fax number, a number to identify your fax (like your phone extension or office number), and the ID numbers of the files you want. You can also request a list of available files. When you finish entering the file numbers, end the call and the files will be faxed to you. If you have problems using this fax system, please call Technical Support at 1-800-848-6398. You cannot use the fax system outside the U.S & Canada.

The above works for NS 3.3, but does not work for OS 4.0. I've deleted the +: from the host, group, and passwd files. I've tried changing the netmask from 255.255.255.0 to 255.255.0.0 and Router from -ROUTED- to the correc IP address from the router. I've replaced the local.nidb with the one in usr/templates/client/etc, and tried a clean start, but OS 4.0 will not read user information from NIS. The funny thing is that it worked when we first installed openstep on the machine, but inexplicably quit working later. The machine had not been modified from the working state (or at least the power user who is testin the OS machine claimed he had not), but I cannot get it working again.

Date: 30 Jul 1996 21:01:04 GMT Organization: Oak Ridge National Lab, Oak Ridge, TN Message-ID: <4tlt6g$dml@stc06.ctd.ornl.gov> Hi There! I am trying to display an application running on a machine running NeXTstep, via X, onto the Screen of my SGI. I understand that NeXT uses Display postscript as it interface driver, and according to xdpyinfo my SGI Xserver has an Adobe DPS extension. i.e. Adobe-DPS-Extension DEC-XTRAP DPSExtension etc.... Now, the NeXT app cannot apparently find this server,even when I am set the -NXhost flag on the NeXT machine, and the X DISPLAY variable on the SGI. Anybody have anysuggestions as to how I might achieve my goal of remote execution, if indeed it is possible? Cheers PHiL

Of course, this only happens when I attempt to use my Epson Scanner on my black hardware. The scanner hangs the SCSI bus on black, I think when Epson went from the ES-800 -> ES-1000, they dropped asynch communication. It works fine however, on a PeeCee.

Date: 1 Aug 1996 07:17:38 GMT Organization: GoodNet Message-ID: <4tplmi$1c6q@news.goodnet.com> Keywords: Digital Cellular, San Francisco Hello All! I know that this request for information may seem a little odd for these news groups, but given that there are a lot of users in the S.F. Bay area who look in on the post and there is a computing aspect of this inquiry, I choose to post here. I hope you don't mind. I'll give you two guesses as to what the notebook mentioned below will be running and the first guess doesn't count. Here shortly, a close friend of mind will be moving to the Bay Area and will be in need of obtaining cellular service in the Bay Area. Actually, the coverage area map as shown for CellularOne's Bay Area digital at the following URL, http://www.infinitel.com/digital.html, would be quite satisfactory.First and foremost, she is looking for the best possible flat rate based on high volume usage (2 K + minutes) while providing the most extensive home service coverage. The reason a flat rate is desired is because there may be month when the she is gone and will not use it. There are some additional and necessary criteria also being sought with this cellular service and these criteria are as follows. Digital service is a must. I am aware that TDMA is available in the Bay Area, but CDMA is the preferred digital choice. Another factor, and from a mobile warrior standpoint, this service should have a modem pool {Throughput X-Cellerator (TX-CEL) support would be nice} and/or relatively decent modem connection rates (13.9 kbps or better) using a notebook. By the way, is anybody aware of a service provider doing true digital modem data connections and not CDPD over analog? I would appreciate any and all comments about the various high volume packages that one can attain and experiences with the service providers there. We are working without very many reference points as to what may be available in this area. We are, however, using as reference, a stellar plan that we have obtained here with excellent home coverage and is as follows: Two year contract for 2,000 minutes per month with weekends free @ $259.95 plus tax. For calls over the 2 K, the cost is 12.5 cent per minute. Custom Call Forwarding, Conference Calling, Call Waiting, Detailed Billing, & Unlisted Directory/Number (Key Feature Desired), No Answer Transfer w/ Busy or Don't Answer Forwarding after four rings. Not that they mean very much, given the rate we have, but Peak - 6 AM - 8 PM Weekdays Off-Peak - 8 PM - 6 AM Weekdays & all day Weekends & holidays Weekends are from 12:01 AM Saturday to midnight Sunday *Activation Fee: $40.00 (Waived) Service Contract Sign-up Term: 24 months Lost/Damage Protection Plan: $3.95/month with a $50.00 Deductible

There is another external disk connected to the boot disk. Is that because the boot disk is corrupted ? Should I bring out the boot disk, and connect to another NeXT machine to run fsck repair it ? If that is the case, when I connect the boot disk to other Next machine, how do I make sure the disk is properly terminated before adding on. (Is that just make sure no other external disk connect to it, and not connect to any other network). And the current external boot disk has SCSI device ID "0", does it matter when added to another NeXT machine, the ID changed ?

Openstep on Mach uses a new version of lookupd whose configuration is slightly different. In the NetInfo directory /locations/lookupd, you can set a number of properties that relate to how it performs lookups. If you want to set the lookup order to lookupd's internal cache, then NetInfo, then NIS, than flat files, you might do something like the following: # niutil -create . /locations/lookupd # niutil -createprop . /locations/lookupd lookupOrder CacheAgent NIAgent YPAgent FFAgent You can also set specific search orders for particular lookups, eg hosts or users: # niutil -create . /locations/lookupd/hosts # niutil -createprop . /locations/lookupd/hosts LookupOrder CacheAgent DNSAgent NIAgent to lookup in the cache, then DNS, then NetInfo. There are also a number of other NetInfo properties (presently undocumented I believe) which determine lookupd's threading and caching behaviour. The default search order is the CacheAgent then the NIAgent, excepts for hosts and networks, where the DNSAgent is searched also. The new lookupd is also extensible -- I started writing an "NISAgent" which provided a preliminary NIS+ client, and toyed with EOF and DCE agents, but there was never enough interest to finish them. -- Luke Howard Xedoc Software Development lukeh@xedoc.com; +61-3-9428-0788; http://www.xedoc.com

I would like to keep a 3.3 version around on my primary system in case I want to still do some compilation and testing of older sources. My goals are as follows: 1. Still have access to all third party amps, and other local software. 2. Minimize the disk footprint of the 3.3 partition. 3. Still allow news email, etc. to function in both environments. Here is the plan. On my primary boot partition sd0a I would keep a copy of 4.0. On another partition I would have a copy of NS3.3dev (/dev/sd0d) fstab for 4.0 would be normal and would mount sd0d to /33disk /dev/sd0a / 4.3 rw,noquota,noauto 0 1 /dev/sd0d /33Disk 4.3 rw,noquota 0 1 . . . fstab for 3.3 would be differ from stock and would: /dev/sd0d / 4.3 rw,noquota,noauto 0 1 /dev/sd0a /40Disk 4.3 rw,noquota 0 1 To boot the alternate 3.3 copy of NS I would use the boot flags sd(0,d)mach_kernel rootdev=sd0d or, create a file /usr/Devices/System.config/33.table which is identical to Default.table except for the line "Kernel Flags" = "sd(0,d)mach_kernel rootdev=sd0d" Then I could just say 'config=33' at the boot prompt. (At least I think I can). In order to save disk space I will keep only a single copy of /usr/local/* I will also keep only a single shared copy of Dictionary, Thesaurus, Shakespeare, /LocalApps,, etc. Pare down (or remove) some of the documentation. IN order to save space, and allow both environments to have access to the common optional parts I will install the following symbolic links to a disk that is mounted on /usr/local. /LocalApps -> ./usr/local/Next/LocalApps /LocalDeveloper -> ./usr/local/Next/LocalDeveloper /LocalLibrary -> ./usr/local/Next/LocalLibrary /Literature -> ../usr/local/Next/Literature /References -> ../usr/local/Next/References On the 3.3 partition replace /usr/spool with a symbolic link /usr/spool -> /40Disk/private/spool (This is to ensure consistency and integrity of mail, news, lpr, etc.) In case there are differences in the files needed by workspace, I plan on having a different home directory for each environment. If compatible my 3.3 ~/Mailboxes will be a symlink to my real home. Since user directories on my system are mounted as /usr/users, I should have little problem linking in what I need to stay comfortable. I realize that I will have 2 separate netinfo DBs but I think this is not only acceptable but desirable since I can imagine really hosing a system if these were incompatible. I'm sure that I can do this in less than 300MB and by deleting some parts of the distribution I might pare it down significantly below that.

It has a fairly comprehensive explanation of how to set things up in its help file. It also provides a convenient control interface for your connection, and includes sample files. That doesn't mean they'll work, of course. There are a lot of variant setups out there. You would do well to get instructions on how to set up a Mac and a PC, and try to puzzle out how these might apply to you. You may need to activate the debug outputs in order to find out where the failures are. A few things I've noticed: Header compression is often incompatible with the far end You may need the +ua option if you're going thru a Portmaster Read the man pages as well as the ppp installation notes You will probably be happiest if you set up a 2 level netinfo master before you assign your machine a static IP (if you have one) with SimpleNetworStarter (or whatever that disaster is called) Make sure you have a fallback copy of the /etc/netinfo folder before you use any of NeXT's netinfo/network tools Barney

You can change these things from the kermit prompt also. change the 'set speed' line to whatever your serial port can handle. change 'set line' to whatever device you are using change the 'dial' parameter to be the phone number you want to dial (note: the 't' at the beginning of the phone number means to use 'tone' dialing versus 'pulse' the 'connect' must be the last line. Save that as ~/.kermrc and call 'kermit' without any arguments. It will dial your ISP. Manually enter your login and password and whatever else you have to do to get it to start PPP. Then do contol-] and then 'c' which will get you back to your kermit prompt. Then type 'do ppp' and that SHOULD start the PPP process. If it doesn't, check your PPP setup.

Note that I connect through the PNI SLIP software. On composing and delivering a email, all looks fine, it says it is delivered and the modem lights happily blink away, but nobody receives any of my email. So the mail must be getting lost at my provider. I was able to successfully reconfigure POP to the new 'mail.islandnet.com' address so I can retrieve mail successfully. I presume I need to do the same for NextMail/Sendmail, but have been unsuccessful in doing so. Using guesswork, I have tried to change the following configurations in /etc/sendmail/sendmail.cf: added: Djmail.islandnet.com changed to: Dmmail.islandnet.com This has not corrected my inability to send mail successfully. Does anyone have any suggestions on the configuration changes I need to make? Thanks for any help in advance. Please respond to 'rsmallwo@islandnet.com'.

Message-ID: <1996Aug3.083432.22794@antigone.com> Organization: Antigone Press gateway, San Francisco Date: Sat, 3 Aug 1996 08:34:32 GMT Greetings, I have used Taylor UUCP for several years now to dial-up our ISP to exchange mail and news. Until now the NeXT has been on a network with a Mac running TCP-IP. FTP & telnet from the Mac have run flawlessly. To allow the NeXT access to the Internet via a VICOM gateway (software) running on the Mac, I have made the following two changes only: 1) Added the IP number of the Mac as "Gateway" in the /NextAdmin/HostManager.app Local... menu command 2) Added the file /etc/resolv.conf with the IP of our ISP's DNS server. What puzzles me is this: each time mail is queued to the Internet (user@outside.domain.com), the NeXT opens the connection to the Internet, talks to the DNS, then queues the mail to the UUCP queue. Is there any way to revert to the behaviour of simply queuing the mail up? Each time it checks DNS, the Mac auto-dials out over its PPP connection. This often fails on the first try, causing the DNS lookup to fail, and consequently some mail is getting refused or bounced. We're running the original Sendmail 5.67c, in case there's a simple flag to set in sendmail.cf. Or, I guess I could run a DNS on the Mac, but this is getting complicated....! All help appreciated!

The hardware password feature can be defeated by removing the lithium battery for a period of 24 hours, but this may also cause the system to lose it's startup default settings. --Single User Mode-- On startup, hold down both command keys, and press the Tilde key (~) on the keypad.

When it boots up, it checks which of the Network Interfaces to config. i.e. which one is actually connected to the network. It then configures the interface, and shows up with the standard loopback, one configed, and the other down. I know that if you down the one that you have (en0) it will also come up with the en0*. So you can have two of them in the "*" state. I don't think that there is a problem with the usual en0* being there.

From: edwintam@webhk.com (Edwin TAM) Newsgroups: comp.sys.next.hardware,comp.sys.next.sysadmin Subject: NEXTSTEP 3.3 and 64Mb RAM ? Date: 5 Aug 1996 03:33:59 GMT Message-ID: <4u3q37$8r8@hkt001.hkt.net> Hi all, I've got a problem with machines that are installed with 64Mb (EDO) RAM to run NS3.3 for Intel. I tried on two PCs, both with 32Mb RAM installed, same config, except one of them is a ASUS Triton board (P55TP4XE) and the other is a ASUS Triton II board (T55T2P4C). Both of them are upgraded to 64Mb (2 more 16Mb SIMMs are added). Both machines boot from the same harddisk, which is a working harddisk/OS from the P55TP4XE before the RAM upgrade, both got stucked at 'Looking at netinfo local.nidb'. When removed the 32Mb out of the 64Mb, both boot process complete smoothly without a single flaw. Tried swapping with other 16Mb SIMMs, even tried using two 32Mb SIMMs, RAMs are pretty sure okay, only that they refuse to get pass the 'local.nidb' part when on 64Mb. Any suggestions ? Many thanks, -- Edwin

WWW site ============================ http://www.next.com comp.sys.next.* newsgroups ========================== news:comp.sys.next.advocacy This is the "why NEXTSTEP is better (or worse) than anything else in the known universe" forum. It was created specifically to divert lengthy flame wars from .misc. news:comp.sys.next.announce Announcements of general interest to the NeXT community (new products, FTP submissions, user group meetings, commercial announcements etc.) This is a moderated newsgroup, meaning that you can't post to it directly. Submissions should be e-mailed to next-announce@digifix.com where the moderator (Scott Anguish) will screen them for suitability. Archives are available by ftp at ftp://ftp.stepwise.com/pub/Next_Announce_Archives Messages posted to announce should NOT be posted or crossposted to any other comp.sys.next groups. news:comp.sys.next.bugs A place to report verifiable bugs in NeXT-supplied software. Material e-mailed to Bug_NeXT@NeXT.COM is not published, so this is a place for the net community find out about problems when they're discovered. This newsgroup has a very poor signal/noise ratio--all too often bozos post stuff here that really belongs someplace else. It rarely makes sense to crosspost between this and other c.s.n.* newsgroups, but individual reports may be germane to certain non-NeXT- specific groups as well. news:comp.sys.next.hardware Discussions about NeXT-label hardware and compatible peripherals, and non-NeXT-produced hardware (e.g. Intel) that is compatible with NEXTSTEP. In most cases, questions about Intel hardware are better asked in comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware. Questions about SCSI devices belong in comp.periphs.scsi. This isn't the place to buy or sell used NeXTs--that's what .marketplace is for. news:comp.sys.next.marketplace NeXT stuff for sale/wanted. Material posted here must not be crossposted to any other c.s.n.* newsgroup, but may be crossposted to misc.forsale.computers.workstation or appropriate regional newsgroups. news:comp.sys.next.misc For stuff that doesn't fit anywhere else. Anything you post here by definition doesn't belong anywhere else in c.s.n.*--i.e. no crossposting!!! news:comp.sys.next.programmer Questions and discussions of interest to NEXTSTEP programmers. This is primarily a forum for advanced technical material. Generic UNIX questions belong elsewhere (comp.unix.questions), although specific questions about NeXT's implementation or porting issues are appropriate here. Note that there are several other more "horizontal" newsgroups (comp.lang.objective-c, comp.lang.postscript, comp.os.mach, comp.protocols.tcp-ip, etc.) that may also be of interest. news:comp.sys.next.software This is a place to talk about [third party] software products that run on NEXTSTEP systems. news:comp.sys.next.sysadmin Stuff relating to NeXT system administration issues; in rare cases this will spill over into .programmer or .software. Related Newsgroups ================== news:comp.soft-sys.nextstep Like comp.sys.next.software and comp.sys.next.misc combined. Exists because NeXT is a software-only company now, and comp.soft-sys is for discussion of software systems with scope similar to NEXTSTEP. news:comp.lang.objective-c Technical talk about the Objective-C language. Implemetations discussed include NeXT, Gnu, Stepstone, etc. news:comp.object Technical talk about OOP in general. Lots of C++ discussion, but NeXT and Objective-C get quite a bit of attention. At times gets almost philosophical about objects, but then again OOP allows one to be a programmer/philosopher. (The original comp.sys.next no longer exists--do not attempt to post to it.) Exception to the crossposting restrictions: announcements of usenet RFDs or CFVs, when made by the news.announce.newgroups moderator, may be simultaneously crossposted to all c.s.n.* newsgroups.

From: blazek@stt.msu.edu (Rudolf B.

Right now you'd need: PC Motherboard, CPU, RAM, EthernetCard. No disks, no screen, no nothing. Something like a Pentium Transputer connected to a NeXT thru the net. Or like additional motherboards in a NeXT cube. The problem is that right now I would in addition need: HardDisk and a HardDisk controller. And most likely monitor, video card and keyboard. That's why I would like to ask how to avoid the harddisk. I offer the following ideas in return. Thanks, Rudy blazek@stt.msu.edu -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Background: ----------- I am a graduate assistant (i.e. a student) so I have to watch the budget. I use 040 NeXTcube w/ NeXTdimension and NeXTstation Color. I like them a lot for all I do, except for speed of what I use heavily on a daily basis: Mathematica and TeX. What I wanna do: ---------------- Connect a Pentium Pro server to my NeXT and run Mathematica and TeX remotely off the server. Design Ideas: ------------- 1. Take a black NeXT workstation. 2. Put some UNIX in a subdirectory on the NeXT. You might have to use some other PC which already runs the UNIX system. 3. Put Pentium Pro, RAM and Ethernet card in an empty computer case. 4. Convince the PC hardware to boot thru the net off the NeXT. 5. Mount the HardDisks from the NeXT and continue booting the UNIX from the step 2 above. 6. Enjoy, work, compute, fly ... - The UNIX could be either Linux (free, with student version of Mathematica available) or NeXT(Open)Step (not free :-)), but preferred, of course :-))). - The point 2. could be also accomplished by borrowing a disk controller, empty disk, video card, monitor, keyboard for step 3 ... Linux: ------ For starters, Linux would be fine with me, since remote Mathematica kernel and TeX are easy to use from NeXT User Interface no matter what UNIX they run on. Also a whole world of free X-win apps would be at hand. When a minimal installation of Linux and boot-images etc is finished (on the NeXT harddisk), all the files could be put on the FTP archives so that other people don't have to go through the whole process ... They could replace the point 2. above (which could be pretty painful) with: 2'. Untar the minimal Linux supplied here, change configuration files here, etc... PROBLEMS: --------- - Point 4. above ("Convince the PC hardware to boot thru the net off the NeXT."). I don't know how to do that. I saw PC's booting off the net, but I am not sure if it was done by changing CMOS/BIOS parameters (and/or jumpers, switches etc.) on the ethernet card and/or motherboard or if they had some files in the boot sector on the local harddisk. - I know that black NeXTs can boot directly off a NetInfo network, but I am not sure what PC hardware can do. - If you really need a harddisk for booting off the net, then the expenses will grow since in addition to the disk and controller you will most likely need also a monitor and keyboard to resolve crashes etc. Why? The main advantage of the disk-less solution is that there is nothing to break in the PC. The only problem could be hardware failure or a dead CMOS battery which is unlikely. All the files would be on the NeXT, so if anything goes wrong, all you have to do is to restore your backup of the PC's directories on the NeXT and reboot the poor (i.e. stripped) Pentium box ... Please: ------- If you read all the way until here, please comment on my suggestions if you have a point. I really would like to make this happen with as little money as possible. And some other people might be interested, too ... Thanks a lot. Rudy Blazek Michigan State University Dept. of Statistics and Probability

If you just get a second computer though, your life will be much enhanced. Anything faster than your station will do. If you are only planning on running NeXT binaries, you might try simlifying your approach. Here's how we do "distributed computing" here: We use OpenSesame.app to execute the binary on a different host, and display the results on our workstations. Works like a charm. It's pretty simple to set-up, and you can find a complete run-down in DigitalLibrarian. Look under the SysAdmin.bshlf. - SysAdminManual/03_SetUpNet.rtfd [search contents for OpenSesame.app] If you are running compute intensive apps like TeX and Mathmatica, a PentiumPro with 64+Mb of RAM and a FastEthernet card will knock your socks off. The only thing that really doesn't change is the speed at which your NeXTstation can draw a screen... One note: Read-Up on the security issues of the PublicWindowServer before you use this.

I like and use both qmail and sendmail. qmail is superior in many ways, and I run it wherever I can, but it's not 100% sendmail compatible: it's configured differently and it works differently. (Note that it *is* protocol compatible with sendmail--it speaks SMTP like most other MTA's) If you can't bear the thought of doing things differently than sendmail, you probably won't be happy with qmail. On the other hand, if you're flexible and willing to try things qmail's way, you will probably find it superior. Your best bet is to join the qmail mailing list (send a message to djb-qmail-request@koobera.math.uic.edu), grab the latest distribution, read the docs, and if it sounds interesting, give it a try. -- Dave Sill (de5@ornl.gov) <URL:http://www.lookup.com/Homepages/72300/home.html> Lockheed Martin Energy Systems, Oak Ridge National Lab, Workstation Support

This sounds like a case of a hardware and memory address overlap. I'd bet that your video card memory window base address is somewhere between 32 and 64 Mb. For most video boards, you can use Configure.app to move the memory window address above 64 Mb. (You'll have to boot with only 32 Mb to do this, of course.) A few board types may require you to run a DOS based configuration program to change the memory window address. (I had an ATI Mach 32 based board, not built by ATI, that required this.) Until fairly recently, many PC boards didn't support addresses past 64 Mb. Memory windows on video cards were often configured to lie just below 64 Mb to avoid problems on these motherboards.

Sendmail uses /bin/mail for local delivery, which dumps everything in a common spool directory. qmail prefers to deliver to the user's home directory. Sendmail uses .forward files, qmail uses .qmail* files. Sendmail is configured primarily via the sendmail.cf file, qmail uses a "control" directory with a handful of configuration files. The biggest problems are convincing mail agents to look in ~/Mailbox instead of /var/mail/username--which is trivial in most cases using the MAIL environment variable, but may require some user education--and educating users about .qmail* files. -- Dave Sill (de5@ornl.gov) <URL:http://www.lookup.com/Homepages/72300/home.html> Lockheed Martin Energy Systems, Oak Ridge National Lab, Workstation Support

I believe that ps-if provides for virutual hosts. In this scenario, one host can assume multiple IP addresses and appear to be multiple individual hosts. IP Masquerading is a Linuxism. It refers to the ability for a gateway host to rewrite the IP and port addresses of (routed) outgoing IP packets and to again rewrite the incoming addresses. This allows hosts that reside behind the router (having invalid IP addresses) to appear to be connected directly to the internet (versus the proxy approach). As far as I know, NeXTSTEP does not currently support this behavior. - Steve --- ============================================================== Stephen J.

In addition to not running Preferences.app, turning off swapfile compression, using my fastest disk for the swapfile, and the low level format change to improve the efficiency of the disk I/O is there anything else I can do to eek out a little more performance from this cube, short of an 040 upgrade? I am going to install more memory in the machine as I seem to remember a 20MB "hump" for improved performance on a mono machine. This seems to be a fact(fict?)oid trapped in the cobwebs of my mind, so more information on this would be helpful, as well. Also, does anyone know if there are inherent differences in the I/O of a NeXT 030 and an 040? I seem to remember my regular 040 mono slab at my last job being a little more speedy despite my disk being faster than the one in that machine. Any and all suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Date: 6 Aug 1996 04:10:46 GMT Organization: Texas Tech Academic Computing Services Message-ID: <4u6gk6$a1e@ttacs7.ttu.edu> Keywords: partition, 3.3, install Hello, I am trying to run NS 3.3 on an HP surestore 2047MB scsi drive. I have partitioned the disk into 1024MB and 1023MB partitions. I followed the instruction in NeXTAnswers about big disks. Actually I could never get disk(8) to partition the thing into two 1gig drives from the 3.3 cdrom booted single user on an Intel P6 200. However I was able to use disk(8) on my Cube running 3.3 patched to get the disk partitioned in half. But to my suprise the 3.3 intel install killed my other partition and I now have 1 gig of unusable space. If I try to mount sd1b it says there is nothing there. Can anybody please tell me how to install NS 3.3 on a 2gig disk. I have checked NeXTAnswers and I found the partitioning info and multiple os info, but nothing about actually installing once it is partitioned. Before, I was able to use the 3.3 installer on a 2gig Seagate on my slab after using disk(8) to partition and it worked great. I also am trying to run LynxOS ( a real time Unix) on another 2gig drive (sd0a) on my P6 200. I also want to be able to boot NS without a floppy. Does anybody have info on how to have NS coexist with the LynxOS booter. Lynx manuals indicate the ability to live next to DOS partitions so I figure a small NS partion should be doable on sd0. I have tried to tell the LynxOS mkpart utility that I want a 10meg partition with the NeXT code A7, but NS does not see the partion on sd0b or the LynxOS partion on sd0a. LynxOS requires the the Adaptec 2940 switch for DOS drives bigger than 1gig to be turned off. Is this causing a problem with disk(8).

Yes, there is a script called 'mkmagic' that supposedly does this, however, you'd have to make one when you were logged in, so for now I'd just try to boot from the CD-ROM. If you don't have the CD-ROM, I guess someone with the same version of the OS might be able to make you a boot floppy with mkmagic.

Depending on what you're doing, turning off the swapfile compression is likely to _reduce_ performance, not improve it. The tradeoff depends on how compressible the typical pages being paged out are, your machines' I/O performance and what kind of I/O overhead you average, whether you tend to have idle CPU cycles available, etc. (It's not a simple question to answer because it depends very much on the context.) -Chuck Charles Swiger | cs4w@andrew.cmu.edu | standard disclaimer ----------------+---------------------+--------------------- I know you're an optimist if you think I'm a pessimist.

What do you care if they ask for a compiled binary? It took you longer (admittedly, not much longer) to give him this useless blowoff answer then it would have to simply move on to the next message. Not only that, but you didn't even get the name right, he was looking for slIrp and you sent him looking for slUrp. See the difference? That "i" is very important. Then you followed your all-but-useless post with 16 lines of signature information, which is much more irritating than someone who simply asks for a binary. Perhaps he already looked in archie, perhaps he's never heard of archie, perhaps he was hoping to find some help from others. You might have at least attempted to be helpful by giving him a site or two at which he could perform his archie query. I, at least, don't know of any. I used to use the ones that came by default with Archie.app, but I didn't get much of any response from them. Also, do you know what the chances are that he will find a compiled NeXT version of slirp using Archie? Most of the time the results I got were for Linux versions of the programs I was looking for, or for source code, which is obviously useless. If I were him, I too would have looked for a compiled binary. I would have looked in comp.sys.next.software, but that's a minor point at best. Had you given him a suggestion on a site for Archie you would have given him the ability to possibly solve his own problems in the future. I've got 5 years worth of email from various people in the newsgroups, which has helped me achieve a much greater body of knowledge than I would have been able to achieve on my own. To the original poster: I don't have a copy, or I would offer it to you, nor do I have any good suggestions on where you might look for it. I know that it isn't on next-ftp.peak.org or peanuts.leo.org because I just did a word search on their index files and it didn't return anything. TjL

Has anybody ever successfully installed Nextstep 3.3 or better, Openstep 4.0 Mach on a recent Notebook, like an Digital Hinote II 5/133, or an TI Extensa 570CDT or IBM Thinkpad? I had a Digital Hinote II last week and could not make 3.3 or 4.0 install with an Adaptec SCSI SLIMLINE PCMCIA adapter. Whichever config I tried, upon rebooting the mach kernel/device driver loader did not find an SCSI controller and died with "no root device" message. Win95 had no problem finding and installiung the adaptec SCSI controller at the default (IO340/IRQ9) setup I think. Also any idea if and which graphic chipsets are supported, which are found in these notebooks? Any suggestions would be greatly welcomed. Many thanks in advance Philipp Ott

Sending the pre-OS 4.0 lookupd a USR2 signal causes it to toggle logging, but sending it a HUP signal forces it to restart and thus read any new resolv.conf indo. You shouldn't have to do this unless you need to use different nameservers when establishing your PPP connection. I need to connect to several different PPP servers, so I slide in the correct resolv.conf and send resolv.conf a HUP signal in pppd's ip-up. Note that sending the OS 4.0 lookupd a HUP signal won't cause it to restart. Restarting it manually will leave the system unusable until a reboot :-( NeXT is aware of this problem. -- Art Isbell NeXT/MIME Mail: aisbell@ix.netcom.com Trego Systems Voice/Fax: +1 408 335 2515 CaseServ: NEXTSTEP/OpenStep Voice Mail: +1 408 335 1154 managed care solutions US Mail: Felton, CA 95018-9442

Submissions should be e-mailed to next-announce@digifix.com where the moderator (Scott Anguish) will screen them for suitability. Archives are available by ftp at ftp://ftp.stepwise.com/pub/Next_Announce_Archives Messages posted to announce should NOT be posted or crossposted to any other comp.sys.next groups. news:comp.sys.next.bugs A place to report verifiable bugs in NeXT-supplied software. Material e-mailed to Bug_NeXT@NeXT.COM is not published, so this is a place for the net community find out about problems when they're discovered. This newsgroup has a very poor signal/noise ratio--all too often bozos post stuff here that really belongs someplace else. It rarely makes sense to crosspost between this and other c.s.n.* newsgroups, but individual reports may be germane to certain non-NeXT- specific groups as well. news:comp.sys.next.hardware Discussions about NeXT-label hardware and compatible peripherals, and non-NeXT-produced hardware (e.g. Intel) that is compatible with NEXTSTEP. In most cases, questions about Intel hardware are better asked in comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware. Questions about SCSI devices belong in comp.periphs.scsi. This isn't the place to buy or sell used NeXTs--that's what .marketplace is for. news:comp.sys.next.marketplace NeXT stuff for sale/wanted. Material posted here must not be crossposted to any other c.s.n.* newsgroup, but may be crossposted to misc.forsale.computers.workstation or appropriate regional newsgroups. news:comp.sys.next.misc For stuff that doesn't fit anywhere else. Anything you post here by definition doesn't belong anywhere else in c.s.n.*--i.e. no crossposting!!! news:comp.sys.next.programmer Questions and discussions of interest to NEXTSTEP programmers. This is primarily a forum for advanced technical material. Generic UNIX questions belong elsewhere (comp.unix.questions), although specific questions about NeXT's implementation or porting issues are appropriate here. Note that there are several other more "horizontal" newsgroups (comp.lang.objective-c, comp.lang.postscript, comp.os.mach, comp.protocols.tcp-ip, etc.) that may also be of interest. news:comp.sys.next.software This is a place to talk about [third party] software products that run on NEXTSTEP systems. news:comp.sys.next.sysadmin Stuff relating to NeXT system administration issues; in rare cases this will spill over into .programmer or .software. Related Newsgroups ================== news:comp.soft-sys.nextstep Like comp.sys.next.software and comp.sys.next.misc combined. Exists because NeXT is a software-only company now, and comp.soft-sys is for discussion of software systems with scope similar to NEXTSTEP. news:comp.lang.objective-c Technical talk about the Objective-C language. Implemetations discussed include NeXT, Gnu, Stepstone, etc. news:comp.object Technical talk about OOP in general. Lots of C++ discussion, but NeXT and Objective-C get quite a bit of attention. At times gets almost philosophical about objects, but then again OOP allows one to be a programmer/philosopher. (The original comp.sys.next no longer exists--do not attempt to post to it.)

The problem is that I cannot login (as root) with that password. From the NeXT login window, I type in root for the userid and the password I've created. The window blinks 2 or 3 times, and returns - just as if I'd entered an invalid userid/password pair. I have an ID in wheel (so it has permission to su root) but again, the password fails with the appropriate "Sorry" response. I've made sure that I'm using the proper password, as I temporarily created one that was crackable (and crack confirmed what I thought was the password). I even tried an empty root password. I'm stumped. I have no printed manuals for the NeXTs and the man pages seem to indicate that I should be able to log in. Is there a configuration file I need to modify to allow root login while in multi-user mode?

It gets to the "please wait..." message but stays there and never gets to "OK to safely turn off". In this state the busy cursor keeps spinning; if you try to get into the NMI monitor from here the machine locks up and the busy cursor freezes. This is more a (big) nuisance than a serious problem because the file system appears to be synced OK and it reboots without errors. But it does have to go through a lengthy fsck each time which is really tedious. Also, this doesn't always happen - sometimes it shuts down and restarts fine! So far I haven't noticed a pattern. Any ideas? Is it waiting for one of our client machines for some reason.

Message-ID: <4uocpm$a82@news.next.com> References: <jray-1208960825350001@128.146.143.148> John Ray writes: > I can apparently create accounts in the "/" domain, or in > "/Leviathan" or "/Medusa"... what does creating it in "/" buy me? The idea is this: "/Leviathan" is a database that's used by the machine named "Leviathan", "/Medusa" is used by the machine named "Medusa", and "/" is consulted by them both. If you create a user in "/Medusa", then that user can log in on Medusa, but nowhere else. As far a Leviathan is concerned, that user doesn't even exist, since it only consults "/Leviathan" and then "/" when it looks up user accounts. The NetInfo hierarchy is sort of an access control mechanism. By putting information in the top of the hierarchy, you make that information available to the whole network. This idea gets really useful when you've got a few thousand systems to administer. You can divide the network up into a variety of administrative units organized in a multi-level hierarchy. Then, for example, if the whole sales department needs access to a printer, you put information about that printer into the "/sales" domain (see note below). All the computers in the sales department consult the "/sales" database, so they know that the printer exists. Other computers don't it exists, so they can't print on it. If you need to make something known to the whole network, you put it in the "/" domain. Note: a domain is a bunch of NetInfo servers that have a single, replicated database. One of them is called the master, and it sends updates around to all the other replica servers to keep them synchronized. > when I go to create a network user from the Nextstation, I get a > "Access denied" error message. You'd need to be a bit more specific about the text of the message for me to be able to figure out what went wrong. It's probably one of two things: you didn't use the correct password for the "/" NetInfo domain, or you don't have file permissions to create the new user's home directory over NFS. NetInfo has a user named "root" in every NetInfo domain. When you try to modify the information in that domain, you need to know the root password *for that domain*. When you set up a NetInfo hierarchy using SimpleNetworkStarter, it will copy the local root password up into the "/" domain, so initially it will be the same. You can change it using NetInfoManager or UserManager. Your problem might be that you are using the wrong password. The other possibility is that you are logged in on one machine trying to create a home directory for a user on a different computer's local disk. This is pure NFS and has nothing to do with NetInfo, save for the fact that NFS configuration information is stored in a NetInfo domain. For an NFS server to allow a client to create new files *as the user root*, you need to set up explicit permissions for the client to do so. Fire up NFSManager and look at the server's export for the file system. The client needs to be listed under the "root access" column in the exports panel before the server will allow root access from the client. UserManager runs with "root" authority. If you are running it on an NFS client system and trying to create a new home directory for a user on an NFS server somewhere, the server may be rejecting the attempt. -- Marc Majka

NT Workstation can access NeXT machines via Samba. NeXT machines cannot access NT Workstation machines (execpt via samba client which is very limited). NT Server machines can act as servers for NFS (+smb, appletalk, and maybe a few others). So, the options are to put your files on NeXT running samba, access them from NT via Workgroups networking. Shell out the extra for NT Server. Put your files there. Access them from where-ever. NT Server isn't a third party product as such, but it does cost money. MS have specifically put limitations into the lower cost NT workstation to prevent you using it as a server (as you wish to do). Limited SMB file serving (as a workgroup type share) is supported, but NeXT will not use it very well. $an

It is a misconfiguration of ncurses. ncurses seems to think that the mere existence of a termios.h file, implies defaults support for POSIX termios functions. Either modify some configuration header file appropriately or modify config.cache (setting termios to no) and re-run configure. Alternatively, you can compile ncurses with the -posix flag, but this is not recommended. Esp since you'll probably only be able to use the resulting ncurses library with other -posix apps. Besides, -posix is known to be buggy. MANY of the GNU packages that use autoconf make this same mistake. There may be a few other minor modifications you might have to make to get things to build. -- Rex Dieter Computer System Manager Department of Mathematics and Statistics University of Nebraska Lincoln

If you're able to ftp: on ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/ALPHA/ufs, there should be a quite recent version of the `real' ufs module, which is now called u2fs.

Is your CD-ROM connected as a slave on the primary controller (like the NextAnswer says)? What are the error messages? You can force detection by using the "ATAPI Device" = "Slave" (or "Master") flag. Make a copy of the driver floppy and do changes there. -rakesh

The 30 pin SIMMs are in sockets designed for vertical insertion and removal. They won't rock back and forth. These can be removed in two ways. 1) Use a sheet metal scribe, a stiff metal rod with a pointed tip and a 90 degree bend about 1/2 " from the tip. Put the tip in the SIMM tab hole (on either side of the SIMM), and the bend on the edge of the next socket over. Gently pull back on the scribe, lifting one side of the SIMM up about 1/4 inch. Repeat on the other side of the SIMM. You should then be able to lift it out with your fingers. 2) Thread two large paper clips through the SIMM tab holes. Gently tug on first one side and then the other until the SIMM pops free. Always take proper anti-static precautions.

Put the two 4 Mb SIMMs in Slots 1 and 2. You'll need to find a second matching 8 Mb SIMM before you can use it. The 8 Mb SIMM is probably what the trade rags are now calling DIMMs, and acts like two 4 Mb SIMMs, one on each side. The back sides of these 'DIMMs' are in a different bank than the front sides (because of how they're wired). A pair of these in slots 1 and 2 would be reported by the ROM monitor as 8 Mb in bank 1 and 8 Mb in bank 3, for a total of 16 Mb of memory. A number of the Turbo boxes shipped with pairs of these 8 Mb SIMMS in slots 1 and 2 to get thier 16 Mb of memory. Your slot 5 takes a special SIMM to provide up to 192 Kwords of DSP memory, and is not of interest to anyone other than hard core DSP hackers.

Date: 15 Aug 1996 15:55:10 GMT Organization: Colorado School of Mines Distribution: usa Message-ID: <4uvh8u$mka@magma.Mines.EDU> Howdy! We have defined a netgroup named physics to whose member machines I export home directories from three servers. I needed to add a *non-NeXTStep* machine to this list, and simply appended this machine's name, using NFSManager, to the read/write access list (as per the NeXTAdmin docs AFAIK). Nonetheless, the non-NeXT machine *could not* mount and read/write to the exported disks. This problem when a netgroup name and a specific host name are *mixed* smells like a bug... Has anyone else encountered this problem and a clean fix? We're running NeXTStep 3.0 on black and 3.3 on white hardware. By the way, the workaround was to add the non-NeXT machine to the list of machines in the appropriate domain, in the same netgroup as the others (using only the keys name, ip_address, and netgroups with the appropriate values eems to work OK).

The newest version of ghostscript is pretty powerful because it can use system-resident PS fonts (it will search /NextLibrary/Fonts and /LocalLibrary/Fonts quasi-automatically) as well as it's own home-brewed fonts. I have a couple of comments/observations and a question: 1. You cannot send the output of ghostscript directly to /dev/pp0. It won't work, garbage is printed. This is a documented feature/bug of NeXT's parallel driver. I knew this, but I thought I'd point it out to those who didn't. (-; 2. You CAN pipe ghostscript's output to a neat program called pp0cat, that will retransmit any possible dropped data piped to /dev/pp0. This works. This works also as a filter ('if' entry in printcap) to enable lpr (and printing via the print menu). 3. Now, I wanted to use ghostscript as pure filter for use with lpr and friends... adding it as the 'if' entry in printcap, and changing the 'lp' entry from /dev/null to /dev/pp0. This also works, mostly. Except...that a blank page always precedes the requested printout. I will go back to using 2. if I have to, but I thought 3. is less of a hack except for the darn blank header page. Experimenting with using lpr shows that if I print with lpr -h, no blank page is produced, whereas printing with plain 'ol lpr (or printing via NeXT's print menu) does always produce the blank header page. Can I supress the header page, by default? If all goes well, I'd be happy to package this all up for the public's use, but I suppose this act would probably put Dots and/or JetPilot out of business...

Distribution: usa Message-ID: <4v07mu$44a@news.next.com> References: <4uvh8u$mka@magma.Mines.EDU> David M. Wood notes that mixing netgroup names and machine names in NFS exports doesn't work. Yes, this is a problem in NFS. The root of the problem is that the UNIX "exportfs" command (and the NFS API behind it which is used to export filesystems) has very weird syntax. Check the man page for exports or exportfs, and you'll see what's going on. For example, if you export something read-only to netgroup "foo", the export options are: ro, access=foo Now let's say you want to export read-only to netgroup "foo" and read-write to machine "frog", the options are: access=foo, rw=frog This looks wrong at first, but "rw" means "read-mostly": It's read-only to any host that has access (i.e. the "foo" netgroup) except that the machine "frog", has read-write access. Now, what if you want read-only access for netgroup "foo", and read-write to netgroup "bar"? If you try this in NFSManager it fails because it tried to do this: access=foo, rw=bar Nice try, but one can't use a netgroup in the "rw" option (see the man page)! There's no way to avoid this, because the exports options aren't powerful enough. There are similar problem with root access. The "root" option won't take a netgroup name. What can you do? Not much, except to avoid using netgroups in these cases. A rule of thumb is that you can use netgroup names in exactly one of NFSManager's "Read / Write", "Read Only" and "Root Access" columns. -- Marc Majka

The NFS server I'm using at the moment for NT requires the user to establish a mapping between Unix users and NT users, such that the two security models can have some sort of consistency (although you can specify a user to which unidentified users should be mapped to). This is really the only way to do it, unless you embed the Unix UID in the NT user's SID, which is really only possible if a Unix-savvy directory service is assuming responsibility for maintaining accounts. The Intergraph server reads system32\drivers\etc\passwd and ...\group for password and group information, so at the moment I'm keeping the manually in synchronised by nidump'ing from a NEXTSTEP machine and copying across. The other alternative is SAMBA, of course, but I need to use NFS in this particular instance. -- luke

For SCSI it is no problem, also for floppy's, but I want to > format low-level an IDE disk under NeXT-Step Obviously I wasn't clear enough. There's no need for you to ever perform a low-level format on an IDE drive. Most IDE drives don't honor the "format" command sequence. Some older IDE drives (supposedly) become unusable after attempting to low-level format them. That's why NeXT doesn't provide an hdform command - it would be at best useless, and at worst, could ruin your drive. > and this must be possible because the installation software comming > with NS3.3 for Intel makes it.

When you do disk -i to an IDE drive, it calls /usr/etc/hdform, which prints the message "hdform doesnt exist yet...", which might lead you to think the initialization failed. Actually, it should proceed just fine after printing that message. The hdform program is there only so that the code path in the disk program is the same for IDE and SCSI drives. hdform is doing exactly what it's supposed to do - absolutely nothing. If you're having a problem initializing a disk under NEXTSTEP, hdform is not part of the problem - trust me. -Mark -- Mark Bessey NeXT Software, Inc Software Quality Assurance -->I DON'T SPEAK FOR NeXT <--

The original internal HD is a SEAGATE, and I want to replace it by a FUJITSU (I try also a Quantum with the same results). Here is some of the tests I have made, and which work : 1) The SEAGATE disk is the 406MB original disk at SCSI addr #1 in the NeXTstation. The left box is always the internal HD. *---* | |----- (no external terminator) *---* SEAGATE + Term 2) The FUJITSU disk is a 1041MB external disk at SCSI addr #4 with jumper set to "no synchronous data transfer". *---* *---* | |-----| | *---* *---* SEAGATE FUJITSU + Term + Term 3) The CD-ROM is a TOSHIBA XM-3401 at SCSI addr #3. *---* *---* | |-----| | *---* *---* SEAGATE CD-ROM + Term + Term 4) The CD-ROM can be ON or OFF, it works. The FUJITSU must be ON, otherwise the NeXTstation doesn't start, with no other consequence that only does't start (SCSI bug hang up I think). *---* *---* *---* | |-----| |-----| | *---* *---* *---* SEAGATE CD-ROM FUJITSU + Term + Term 5) The Scanner is an ScanJet IIp at SCSI addr #6. The CD-ROM or the Scanner can be ON or OFF, the station always starts. *---* *---* *---* | |-----| |-----| | *---* *---* *---* SEAGATE CD-ROM Scanner + Term + Term 6) I have also another HD and a Streamer. All works fine with the internal SEAGATE disk. The external terminator is either a passif or an actif terminator. I can put 4 external SCSI unit with no problem. The only thing is that the last unit must be power on is the SCSI cable is very long. 7) Now, I put the FUJITSU in place of the original SEAGATE, at SCSI addr #1. It works fine. *---* | |----- *---* FUJITSU + Term 8) With an external CD-ROM, the new disk works fine. I am using this configuration to load NEXTSTEP 3.3 from the CD. *---* *---* | |-----| | *---* *---* FUJITSU CD-ROM + Term + Term 9) This is the same configuration as 5), and it doesn't work. The CD-ROM and the Scanner are ON. In this configuration, the FUJITSU, which has loaded with with NS 3.3 using 8), crashes at boot time : the boot procedure starts and an SCSI error occures. Some files in /etc got read error. To recover of this I take the configuration 2), booting with the original HD. The fsck on the FUJITSU says that thousands of file are bad. *---* *---* *---* | |-----| |-----| | *---* *---* *---* FUJITSU CD-ROM Scanner + Term + Term 10) I try the FUJITSU, re-installed with NS 3.3 using 8), with some other SCSI units (which works fine with the original SEAGATE). I always got the same error as 9). And as it takes me lots of time to make a single test (for installing NS with a 2X CD-ROM), I didn't try all the combination. The only one which seem to works when using the FUJITSU internaly is 8). *---* *---* *---* | |-----| |-----| | *---* *---* *---* FUJITSU XXX YYY + Term + Term Has anyone ever changed the internal HD of a NeXTstation with a 1GB or 2GB drive, AND still using externals SCSI unit ? I know that each SCSI unit must have a uniq ID. The internal HD is normaly #1, but it can be another number, it works the same way. I know also that a terminator must be put at each end of the SCSI bus. The terminator is either internal to the unit, or external. In this case the terminator is either passif or actif. I try every thing, thet test 10) never works. If I put another 1GB, it doesn't works. If I put the original SEAGATE, it works.

It's also a fairly reliable index for where the OS vendor is on the dinosaur/mammal scale. At the bloated-with-hindbrain end, we have Solaris, whose /bin/true is a shell script several hundred bytes long, essentially all legal disclaimer. AIX is rumored to actually have a *compiled* /bin/true, stripped to about 16 kB, but even fossil evidence of this leviathan is hard to come by around here. NS 3.2 is approximately a hundred times more intelligent, with a 7-byte one-liner /bin/true (exit 0\n). Lest we get too smug, however, Linux uses a zero-byte executable file, which correctly exits with zero status when run.

WWW site ============================ http://www.next.com comp.sys.next.* newsgroups ========================== news:comp.sys.next.advocacy This is the "why NEXTSTEP is better (or worse) than anything else in the known universe" forum. It was created specifically to divert lengthy flame wars from .misc. news:comp.sys.next.announce Announcements of general interest to the NeXT community (new products, FTP submissions, user group meetings, commercial announcements etc.) This is a moderated newsgroup, meaning that you can't post to it directly. Submissions should be e-mailed to next-announce@digifix.com where the moderator (Scott Anguish) will screen them for suitability. Archives are available by ftp at ftp://ftp.stepwise.com/pub/Next_Announce_Archives Messages posted to announce should NOT be posted or crossposted to any other comp.sys.next groups. news:comp.sys.next.bugs A place to report verifiable bugs in NeXT-supplied software. Material e-mailed to Bug_NeXT@NeXT.COM is not published, so this is a place for the net community find out about problems when they're discovered. This newsgroup has a very poor signal/noise ratio--all too often bozos post stuff here that really belongs someplace else. It rarely makes sense to crosspost between this and other c.s.n.* newsgroups, but individual reports may be germane to certain non-NeXT- specific groups as well. news:comp.sys.next.hardware Discussions about NeXT-label hardware and compatible peripherals, and non-NeXT-produced hardware (e.g. Intel) that is compatible with NEXTSTEP. In most cases, questions about Intel hardware are better asked in comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware. Questions about SCSI devices belong in comp.periphs.scsi. This isn't the place to buy or sell used NeXTs--that's what .marketplace is for. news:comp.sys.next.marketplace NeXT stuff for sale/wanted. Material posted here must not be crossposted to any other c.s.n.* newsgroup, but may be crossposted to misc.forsale.computers.workstation or appropriate regional newsgroups. news:comp.sys.next.misc For stuff that doesn't fit anywhere else. Anything you post here by definition doesn't belong anywhere else in c.s.n.*--i.e. no crossposting!!! news:comp.sys.next.programmer Questions and discussions of interest to NEXTSTEP programmers. This is primarily a forum for advanced technical material. Generic UNIX questions belong elsewhere (comp.unix.questions), although specific questions about NeXT's implementation or porting issues are appropriate here. Note that there are several other more "horizontal" newsgroups (comp.lang.objective-c, comp.lang.postscript, comp.os.mach, comp.protocols.tcp-ip, etc.) that may also be of interest. news:comp.sys.next.software This is a place to talk about [third party] software products that run on NEXTSTEP systems. news:comp.sys.next.sysadmin Stuff relating to NeXT system administration issues; in rare cases this will spill over into .programmer or .software. Related Newsgroups ================== news:comp.soft-sys.nextstep Like comp.sys.next.software and comp.sys.next.misc combined. Exists because NeXT is a software-only company now, and comp.soft-sys is for discussion of software systems with scope similar to NEXTSTEP. news:comp.lang.objective-c Technical talk about the Objective-C language. Implemetations discussed include NeXT, Gnu, Stepstone, etc. news:comp.object Technical talk about OOP in general. Lots of C++ discussion, but NeXT and Objective-C get quite a bit of attention. At times gets almost philosophical about objects, but then again OOP allows one to be a programmer/philosopher. (The original comp.sys.next no longer exists--do not attempt to post to it.) Exception to the crossposting restrictions: announcements of usenet RFDs or CFVs, when made by the news.announce.newgroups moderator, may be simultaneously crossposted to all c.s.n.* newsgroups.

This system allows you to request online technical documents, drivers, and other software, which are then sent to you automatically. You can request documents by fax or Internet electronic mail, read them on the world-wide web, transfer them by anonymous ftp, or download them from the BBS. NeXTanswers is an automated retrieval system. Requests sent to it are answered electronically, and are not read or handled by a human being. NeXTanswers does not answer your questions or forward your requests. USING NEXTANSWERS BY E-MAIL To use NeXTanswers by Internet e-mail, send requests to nextanswers@next.com. Files are sent as NeXTmail attachments by default; you can request they be sent as ASCII text files instead. To request a file, include that file's ID number in the Subject line or the body of the message. You can request several files in a single message. You can also include commands in the Subject line or the body of the message. These commands affect the way that files you request are sent: ASCII causes the requested files to be sent as ASCII text SPLIT splits large files into 95KB chunks, using the MIME Message/Partial specification REPLY-TO address sets the e-mail address NeXTanswers uses These commands return information about the NeXTanswers system: HELP returns this help file INDEX returns the list of all available files INDEX BY DATE returns the list of files, sorted newest to oldest SEARCH keywords lists all files that contain all the keywords you list (ignoring capitalization) For example, a message with the following Subject line requests three files: Subject: 2101 2234 1109 A message with this body requests the same three files be sent as ASCII text files: 2101 2234 1109 ascii This message requests two lists of files, one for each search: Subject: SEARCH Dell SCSI SEARCH NetInfo domain NeXTanswers will reply to the address in your From: line. To use a different address either set your Reply-To: line, or use the NeXTanswers command REPLY-TO <your-address> If you have any problem with the system or suggestions for improvement, please send mail to nextanswers-request@next.com. USING NEXTANSWERS BY FAX To use NeXTanswers by fax, call (415) 780-3990 from a touch-tone phone and follow the instructions. You'll be asked for your fax number, a number to identify your fax (like your phone extension or office number), and the ID numbers of the files you want. You can also request a list of available files. When you finish entering the file numbers, end the call and the files will be faxed to you. If you have problems using this fax system, please call Technical Support at 1-800-848-6398. You cannot use the fax system outside the U.S & Canada. USING NEXTANSWERS VIA THE WORLD-WIDE WEB To use NeXTanswers via the Internet World-Wide Web connect to NeXT's web server at URL http://www.next.com. USING NEXTANSWERS BY ANONYMOUS FTP To use NeXTanswers by Internet anonymous FTP, connect to FTP.NEXT.COM and read the help file pub/NeXTanswers/README. If you have problems using this, please send mail to nextanswers-request@next.com. USING NEXTANSWERS BY MODEM To use NeXTanswers via modem call the NeXTanswers BBS at (415) 780-2965. Log in as the user "guest", and enter the Files section. From there you can download NeXTanswers documents. FOR MORE HELP... If you need technical support for NEXTSTEP beyond the information available from NeXTanswers, call the Support Hotline at 1-800-955-NeXT (outside the U.S. call +1-415-424-8500) to speak to a NEXTSTEP Technical Support Technician.

Well, I will. Your words in my ears! So I will try disk -b .... to make the disk bootable. What makes me think that the installation procedure makes a low-level format is the fact that it takes a great amount of time to come up with further questions for installing and meanwhile rattling with the disk.

First of all, as mentioned in the procmail READMEs, you need a .forward file in your home dir which looks somenthing like this: "|IFS=' ' && exec /usr/local/bin/procmail -f- || exit 75" so all the incoming mail gets piped through procmail. Procmail itself can then process the incoming mail. > I thought about making some dummy Mailboxes/*.mbox dirs, > but wouldn't routing mail to them confuse or otherwise > avoid the table of contents? Next you should get the famous mailapp-utilities, available on peanuts. You should make procmail append mail to your .mboxes by using appnmail so the .mbox does not get corrupted.

I think a well documented description of how the complete installation was done would be more helpful, because it would leave the chance to use the drivers one needs. You could make a binary package which is compiled with every driver ghostscript offers, but that wouldn't make much sense. An additional binary package for the printers used by most people would be great for them anyway. Christian

You need to setup your .procmailrc to use appnmail, and change MAILDIR=$HOME/Mailboxes and then manually invoke 'formail' to re-sort your waiting mail through 'procmail' (MAKE A BACKUP BEFORE TRYING THIS) it would look something like this: formail -s procmail < /usr/spool/mail/yournamehere > I thought about making some dummy Mailboxes/*.mbox dirs, > but wouldn't routing mail to them confuse or otherwise > avoid the table of contents? Whatever you were thinking, stop. Keep your normal NeXTMail boxes were they are, and use 'appnmail' > Someone has to have done this, right? Yes, Carl Edman, who wrote a lot of nice little things for NeXTStep, including the EnhanceMail.bundle and EmacsForNeXTStep. He did it quite well too.

First thing to try: boot the thing in single user mode, by busting into the ROM monitor (right-COMMAND, right-ALT, and the `/~ key on the keypad, all at once, then type "mon" at the mini-monitor) and typing "bsd -s" (bod -s if you're booting from an oppy). Once you have a root prompt, you can change the root password to anything you like; "man 1 passwd" will tell you how. If the machine asked for a password from the ROM monitor, you are faced with a machine that has a *hardware* password set. You'll have to open it up, remove the lithium battery from the motherboard, and wait a few hours for everything to disappear. Then proceed as above, and everything should be copacetic.

You may want to loosen permissions even further, or check the permissions on the directory. Run fsck from single user mode (although I'm pretty sure fsck runs as part of just about everyones boot process, and I'm not sure running it in single user mode is necessary).

Each lists parameters for that line. One of the parameters is "secure". If a line isn't listed as "secure" then you can't login as root on that line. You can login as non-root and /bin/su to root, but you can't login (via telnet nor rlogin) as root. Obviously this doesn't scale to non-root login ID's. You'd have to do something different.

Reichman asks: > When I open users in UserManager.app I get warning that UM can't > determine user's language... > > Whereas it seems to be indicated in the user profile once I've opened > the user in UserManager. > > What am I missing/ There is a minor bug in NEXTSTEP 3.3 that caused this. The short story is that you can just ignore the message - it doesn't hurt anything. Here's the long story in case you are interested: In 3.3 UserManager got better support for language customization and a new facility for user templates. The mechanism behind this is a set of directories in /usr/template. For each "template", UserManager creates a directory for the template in /usr/template/local. For example, if you create a template called "engineer", UserManager creates /usr/template/local/engineer. There's also a directory in /usr/template/languages for each language. When UserManager creates a new user, it copies the contents of the template (say, engineer) directory and then the language (say, English) directory into the new user's home. That gets files and directories copied to the new user's home correctly, including any defaults that come from the template. However, to add extra defaults for the user's language, UserManager reads a file called /usr/template/<LANGUAGE>.lproj/#DEFAULTS#, and adds the language-specific defaults into the user's defaults database using a little utility program. Here's the bug: we forgot the /usr/template/languages/English.lproj/#DEFAULTS# file. If you want to fix the bug, all you need to do is fire up a shell and do this: echo "System Language English" > /usr/template/languages/English.lproj/#DEFAULTS# Note that once a user logs in and sets a Language preference, UserManager will stop complaining that it can't determine the user's language. -- Marc Majka

Make sure there is a trailing newline in /etc/shells. The code in UserManager that reads /etc/shells expects every line to be treminated by a newline character. I just tried appending "/bin/true<NEWLINE>" to the /etc/shells and had no trouble creating a new user with /bin/true as a shell.

Some UNIX apps require a linefeed after the last line in a file. Make sure there's a linefeed after /bin/true.

Boot up and immediately go into the ROM monitor and type bsd(1,0,0)sdmach rootdev=sd1a (assuming of course you only have the internal hard disk and the CD-ROM) Basically the 1 above says boot off the 2nd device on the chain. The lowest SCSI id of the internal disk will be device #0, the next higher SCSI id will be device #1, etc. This tells it to initially boot off the CD-ROM and therefore do the installation stuff. When you reboot it'll boots off device #0 as usual (the hard disk) and continues the rest of the installation. The problem at the moment is that when it reboots its booting off the CD-ROM and (naturally) starting up the installation again. - Gareth (a sys admin who at least knows this one :-)

Date: Thu, 22 Aug 1996 16:39:12 -0700 Organization: University of Oregon Message-ID: <321CEFA0.37E8@javalab.uoregon.edu> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hallo folks, I'm running NS3.3 on an Intel P5 that has a 28.8 Hayes compatible modem in it. The modem is also a 14.4 fax modem. The modem has always functioned rather well for me, and I've been using it to connect via PPP first to my university and now to an ISP for the past two years. Recently I installed the modem as a fax modem and attempted some faxes. Since I had no idea what the difference was between the two fax modem types (H-something and Interfax) I chose the first option and gave it a spin. The modem would dial that target fax machine nicely and then begin the 1-per-second peeping that faxes do when waiting for a connection. When the target fax answered and peeped, the fax modem turned off the speaker (as I told it to) at which point I assumed the connection was good. However, according to the queue, the job would stay "Printing" forever. I later learned that soon after connecting, the target fax would disconnect without receiving anything more than the header (not the cover sheet, but the source info). As for my fax modem, it blissfully continues hissing away, apparantly unaware that it has been disconnected. The job never completes. I also tried deleting the fax modem entry and reinstalling it as an "Interfax" modem. Same deal. My question is twofold: is the problem in my modem card or in my NS configuration, and how do I fix it. The only thing that comes to mind as being a potential source is the fact that I have ghostscript and ghostHP so that I can print to my non-PS printer. This required (as anyone who has done it knows) tweaking some of the network configuration files so that jobs are piped through ghostscript. I'll appreciate any help or pointers, and forgive me if I've asked a FAQ. -- Sean Russell Software Engineer ser@javalab.uoregon.edu Department of Physics http://jersey.uoregon.edu/ser University of Oregon "Even the Mongols rejected Communism... are we more dumb?" --- Russian newspaper headline supporting Yeltzin's 1996 campaign

The internal drive is making too much noise, so given that we wanted more disk space we purchased a 4 Gig disk to put the OS onto and then use as the system disk. Well 3.0 can't see that big of a disk, and we decided to install 3.3 on it. I added the 4 Gig disk to the SCSI chain along with the CDROM player and decided to install to the new disk. Booting from CDROM through the floppy drive worked fine and the initial installation part seems to have proceeded just fine. After the initial software set was put on the disk, I booted from the 4 Gig disk with "bsd(1,0,0)sdmach rootdev=sd1a" (I wish they had documented the rootdev option in the install manual -- I learned to do that from reading a message on this group.) The "Install NEXTSTEP" window comes up but I cannot click on any options to install. So, I decide that I could add those later, and I click on the "Install" button. I then get the following pop up warning: Build This disk isn't big enough for software to be installed. It will be initialized as a swap disk. cancel build anway It's a 4 GIG disk! It's too small? Something is fishy. Figuring if things get blown away, I can do another install, so I choose "build anyway". After thinking for a while, the system comes back with the "Install NEXTSTEP" window. I choose "install" and I get the build warning again. So, I cancel and then decide to quit the install procedure. But choosing "quit" eventually brings me back to the "Install NEXTSTEP" window. I cannot power down the system with the power button. I have to unplug the machine to let it reboot into the old OS. What do I have to do to get 3.3 installed on the 4 Gig disk? Is there a fix or workaround to the hanging nonresponsive "Install NEXTSTEP" window? Hal Huntley Senior Systems Administrator SRI International (415) 859-2236 hal@sneezy.sri.com

I read this and thought, "What could I lose?" Read through it and maybe you'll like to try it as well! But please be honest. That is how it works. "MAKE-MONEY-FAST" ----- Adapted article by Jody Vining (#4 below) ---------------- Want to make a few bucks? Quick, easy and cheap? Ok ok, we have all heard this before, laughed at it, thought it was stupid, so did I. But one day, I was bored, and wanted to see if this thing really works, the now infamous newsgroup "make-money-fast" routine. And well, to my surprise, it ACTUALLY WORKED. I didn't make $50,000 like some said, but I DID make $3,200 in 1 month. Thats not bad for a $5 investment! So now try it, maybe you'll make less, maybe you'll make more, but its worth a shot right? The procedure is very simple. STEP 1. Write your name and address on 5 separate pieces of paper with the words "PLEASE ADD ME TO YOUR MAILING LIST". Fold a $1 note or money order or bank draft in each of the pieces of paper and mail them to the following five addresses: ---------------------------------------------------------- 1. Sahba Zadeh, 16115 122 Pl. NE, Bothell, WA 98011, USA 2. John England, 570 Vista Ave. Palo Alto, CA 94306, USA 3. Jeannette Bidegain, 2301 Redwood Street, #1406, Las Vegas, NV 89102,USA 4. Jody Vining, 987 Shetland Ave, Winter Springs, FL, 32708 5. Mitch Whiteley, 1026 N. 510 W. Apt. 4A, Logan, UT 84341 --------------------------------------------------------------- STEP 2. Now remove the 1st name on the list, move the other 4 names up (5 becomes 4, 4 becomes 3 etc) and put your name and address as number 5 on the list. You can do this by re-typing this article or simply editing and re-posting it in this or another newsgroup. STEP 3. Post your amended article to at least 200 new groups (there are 17 000 of them). You are now in the Mail Order Investment Business and you will start receiving $1 returns by mail within a week or two. The more newsgroups you post to, the bigger your return will be. You may want to rent a Post Office Box to handle the volume of mail you are likely to receive. If you wish to remain anonymous, you can use a pseudonym such as "The Manager" or "The Investor", but make sure your address is correct! NOW LET ME TELL YOU WHY THIS SYSTEM WORKS! Of every 200 postings I made, I received an average of 5 replies, YES - ONLY 5, each with a $1 bill enclosed. You make $5 for every 200 postings WITH YOUR NAME AT NUMBER 5. Each person who sent you $1, now also makes let's say,only 200 additional postings WITH YOUR NAME AT NUMBER 4, i.e. 1000 postings. On average therefore, 50 people will send you $1 with your name at number 4. You make $50. Your 50 new agents make 200 posting each WITH YOUR NAME AT NUMBER 3 or 10 000 postings - average return 500 at $1 each is $500. They make 200 postings each WITH YOUR NAME AT NUMBER 2 = 100 000 postings = 5 000 returns at $1 each = $5 000. Finally, 5 000 people make 200 postings each WITH YOUR NAME AT NUMBER 1 and you get a return of $50 000 before you name drops off the list. AND THAT'S IF EVERYONE DOWN THE LINE ONLY MAKES 200 POSTINGS! Total income in one cycle = $55 500. From time to time, when your name is no longer on the list, you take the latest posting that is appearing in the newsgroups, SEND OUT ANOTHER $5 TO THE NAMES THAT ARE ON THE LIST, PUT YOUR NAME IN AT NUMBER 5 AND START POSTING AGAIN. Remember, 200 postings is only a guideline. The more you post, the greater the return. Let's review the reasons why you should do this: THE ONLY COST FACTORS ARE 5 STAMPS, 5 ENVELOPES, AND 5 $1 BILLS. Anyone can afford five dollars to put into such an effortless investment with SPECTACULAR RETURNS. Some people have said to me "What happens if the scheme is 'played out' and no one sends me any money"? Big deal! So you lose $5 - but what are the chances of that happening? Do you realise how many Internet Users there are? Do you realise how many times this scheme can be utilised over and over again - with COMPLETELY NEW people participating? There are not HUNDREDS, NOT EVEN THOUSANDS, BUT HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF NEW INTERNET USERS EVERY MONTH! Remember, read the instructions carefully and play FAIRLY...that's the only way this will work. Get a printout so you can refer back to this article easily. Try to keep a list of everyone that sends you money and always keep an eye on the newsgroup postings to make sure everyone is playing fairly. You know where your name should be.

Date: 26 Aug 1996 23:56:10 GMT Organization: the aNk1e bYt0rz kLuB Message-ID: <4vtdiq$p1g@mack.rt66.com> I hope this is the right place to post this, and apologize if it's not.. I just picked up a 68040/25 black cube at an auction -- cube, monochrome monitor, and printer for $95.00 :-) It's got NextStep 3.0 on it. Of course, auction machines often lack some very desirable things, such as documentation. I got root on the machine no problem (thanks to posts and archives of comp.sys.next.*) and got things mostly set up. Everything appears to work well. However, I can't get it to share it's printer with other machines running linux that are on the network. Other tcp/ip clients work fine to and from the machine, except for printing. The printcap entry on the client linux machine (attila) looks like: >next:lp=:sd=/usr/spool/next:sh:mx#0:rm=geronimo:rp=Local_Printer but when I try to print to the Next box (geronimo), I get the following when I run lpq: >(falc@attila) /home/falc > lpq -Pnext >geronimo: /usr/lib/lpd: Local_Printer: Your host does not have line >printer access I added a host attila (which I can telnet to) but it doesn't seem to help. The root of my problem seems to be not understanding what NeXT machines mean by "domains". My only "domain" is /. I tried making more but it won't let me. Maybe I'm using the wrong program. I tried changing the printer (through the print manager) to be a public instead of private printer, and gave it the public (and private) names of Local_Printer. But I can't save this configuration, because the machine says something like the printer can't be exported to itself. And I can't seem to make it export to anywhere else, because I've only got the "/" domain. I've got lots of unix experience. I wish I could just find a printcap file on this system that would be honored. But I have a feeling it doesn't work like that, and I'm unfamiliar with these little Nextisms. Can anybdoy help a poor scrub who wants to see this thing go?

Please Note: Not all sound cards which advertise MSS compatibility are fully compatible at power-up or cold-boot of your Intel-clone. Most of these depend upon a DOS program run by AUTOEXEC.BAT to write commands to the I/O ports of the card to enable a mode which is MSS compatible. If this startup program is missing, or better yet: if DOS is missing (as is true when booting NEXTSTEP), then the sound card acts nothing like a Microsoft Windows Sound System card. Instead, what you have is another piece of proprietary sound hardware. Repeat above for SoundBlaster/SB. What exactly is your sound card? I have written a NEXTSTEP 3.3 Audio/MIDI Driver for the ENSONIQ Soundscape sound card (which is both MSS and SB compatible with the above restrictions).

Short answer: This process is described in "man ftpd" Addendum: There are other, better ftpd's out there (NeXT itself uses 'wu-ftp' but doesn't supply it with the distribution) It seems fairly easy given the manpage instructions, which warns that this is a security risk, but seeing as I have not seen many people asking for followup advice, my guess is that the manpage is sufficient. Note: I couldn't get 'wu-ftp' to compile out-of-the-box on my NS 3.2. If anyone has it, I'd be interested in a copy (m68k).

Anyway, the dwrite you are looking for is: "Workspace DockLaunchFlags XXX" where XXX is not a movie but a number, which I believe to be uncomprehedible, but Izumi Ohzawa <izumi@pinoko.berkeley.edu> says it is just binary: "its a binary encoded autolaunch flags with LSB representing the launch status for the top-most app on the dock, and MSB for the bottom-most app on the dock. E.g., dread Workspace DockLaunchFlags 19 will autolaunch the first, 2-nd and 5-th apps on the dock. (19 dec = 10011 bin)" Now, to me, that's weirder than Greek, but others might find it helpful ;-) You might want to try editing that dwrite manually, logout and backin.

Yes, all you have to do is: cd /dev /usr/etc/MAKEDEV std However, how you boot the system is a problem. Do you have a CD-ROM, is that why you need the boot floppy? I don't know how to do it on a non-Unix system (I think you need dd.... you might need a NeXT version of 'dd', I don't know that much about it.) My question is why don't you have a copy of that bootfloppy... however, that isn't very helpful. If you can wait a few days for the USPS (from New Jersey), drop me a note with your mailing address and I'll mail a NeXT-formatted disk with the 3.3 image on it (it's on NeXTAnswers I believe) TjL ps -- I'm considering adding that MAKEDEV to the rc.local, just because it is such a devastating blow when you can't even boot into single user, or at least a 'mknod' command -------------------------------------------------------------------- Timothy J.

Depending on your controller, these disks will be utilized inefficiently or not at all. So you shouldn't use dos fdisk at all, and you shouldn't use NeXT's fdisk for anything other than: fdisk -removePartitioning Then build your disk with /etc/disk or BuildDisk.app and a couple of Unix style partitions. If you use more than 2 partitions you'll have futz up an fstab. I don't want to go into all the reasons fdisk style partitioning sucks, but suffice it to say that it was designed when the maximum dos filesystem was 32 _megs_, and was majorly hacked to support disks up to 1 gig. Beyond 1G, a few controllers supported extended translation modes that cause _every_file_ in a dos filesystem to be rounded up to the nearest 8 or 16K in file space. Also, the NeXT device drivers only recognize at most 1 virtual NeXT disk per physical device; under NS/I that virtual disk can reside on a dos partition but a second NeXT virtual disk will not be found. That virtual NeXT disk can have multiple Unix-style partitions. cheers, -sam

I've just had to move to a new machine, with 3.3, and the latest sendmail. I have to have procmail running.. The bizzare thing is that when I have procmail set as my local delivery program in the sendmail.cf using Mlocal, P=/usr/local/bin/procmail, F=lsSDFMhPfn, S=10/30, R=20/40, A=procmail -a $h -d $u my /etc/sendmail/aliases file now generates piles of errors when I try to run newaliases /etc/sendmail/aliases: line 64: specials... cannot alias non-local names and mail to any of the aliases goes flying out the window If I switch back to the default local delivery stuff Mlocal, P=/bin/mail, F=lsDFMAw5:/|@rmnP, S=10/30, R=20/40, T=DNS/RFC822/X-Unix, A=mail -d $u then it works fine. Is this some bizzare interaction with procmail? Does anyone have a working config rule for the modern sendmail? (I don't even seem to be able to figure out how to find out its version number.

Do I need a Next CD >drive to boot it? The 68030 and older 68040 machines don't understand how to boot from 2048 byte per block devices like CD-ROMs. You might be able to get a later ROM version for 68040 machines from DecisionOne (formerly Bell Atlantic's maintenence group). The CD-ROMs shipped with a 'blank' floppy which contains a boot block capable of booting a 2048 byte per block device. If you boot with this floppy (using bfd at the ROM monitor) you could then boot the CD-ROM. If you're like most Cube owners, you don't have a floppy. If your system is still bootable, you can put the CDROM boot block onto some other bootable media, like an optical or second hard disk. # disk -B /usr/standalone/boot.cdrom /dev/rod0a You could then boot from this optical (or whatever) to boot the CD-ROM. Then again, it could be that your Apple Single CD drive is just too funky...

My 486 EISA/VL machine finally stopped having as many SCSI errors after I removed the caching module on the adaptor card. Now I only get media or bus errors when trying to move 500+ Megs of data. One suggestion though: I don't know if Ontrack provides public information about drives that they have had in for recovery, but back when I bought my first Micropolis drive, I was able to get a list of good models (from all drive manufactures) and models to stay away from. Luckily, Seagate has finally made it's come back and has improved they're quality control... jas

Major sigh of relief! Of course it shouldn't have been necessary to do all this, and if it wasn't for the LOUSY QUANTUM EMPIRE DRIVE failing, it wouldn't have been.
