Perhaps this post would be more appropriate in a *.samba meeting, but since the Unix host in question is an NS box, I thought I'd start here. I have downloaded and installed the samba binaries from Frank Siegert's Area 51 (Thanks, Frank!), and am launching smbd and nmbd in my rc.local file. This much seems to be working i.e. I can see them running: ganesh> ps ax [processes] 1902 ? S 0:00 (smbd) 1904 ? SW 0:00 (nmbd) [more processes] Beyond this I am running into a brick wall. The NeXT and PC can ping each other, and the PC can ftp to/from the NeXT, but beyond this both machines are blind to each other. I have attempted to peruse the docs that came with the binaries, but I have found that (like many Unix/Linux/etc. docs) they assume the reader already knows everything and just needs a quick reference. What little I have gained from scanning the docs has lead me to try a little troubleshooting. For instance, testparm results in: ganesh> testparm smb.conf ganesh Load smb config files from smb.conf Loaded services file OK. Press enter to see a dump of your service definitions [...service def dump...] When I try another test suggested in the docs, I get this: ganesh> smbclient -L ganesh Added interface ip=192.42.172.1 bcast=192.42.172.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 Server time is Thu Jan 1 16:31:55 1998 Timezone is UTC-6.0 Domain=[WORKGROUP] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 1.9.16p9] SMBtconX failed. ERRSRV - ERRinvnetname (Invalid network name in tree connect.) Perhaps you are using the wrong sharename, username or password? Some servers insist that these be in uppercase ganesh> The mention of the username brings this to mind: The README supplied with the samba binaries instructs: [...] 5. Add a new user username = "samba", group = "nogroup" [...] I have done this, but very literally i.e. I created the user in UserManager, made sure the group was nogroup, but did *nothing* else to configure this user, such as add a password. Thus, UserManager gripes when I view user "samba", saying "This user has no password". Could this be the problem? Since the docs are silent on the issue, I can't be sure. On the PC side, tcpip is configured properly, I can ping the Unix host, but when I attempt to map a drive letter to my NeXT at a DOS prompt, I get the following (shiva is the user dir I have set up on the cube for the PC): c:\WINDOWS> net use f: \\ganesh\Users\shiva Error 50: You attempted an operation that connot be performed from your computer or that is not supported on the specified server. Make sure that you are using the correct server for the command or task that you want to perform. if the problem persists, contact your system administrator. If I attempt to map a network drive by right-clicking "Network Neighborhood", I get as far as choosing a drive letter (f:), and setting the path (\\ganesh\Users\shiva). At that point, I get the error: The following error occurred while trying to connect F: to \\ganesh\Users\shiva: The share name was not found. Be sure you typed it correctly. I tried to make this post as brief as possible, but I see that it is getting very long. Many thanks in advance to any and all who can advise me on this.

Add to your /etc/fstab: /dev/sd1b /ExternB 4.3 rw,noquota 0 2 and reboot. Log in as root, and then in a unix window, type: cd /ExternB mkdir private private/vm chmod 755 private private/vm cd private/vm mkfile 32m swapfile (to make a swapfile that starts out at 32 meg, although it will expand if more swapspace is needed, and if there's room on the partition). You then need to change /etc/swaptab. You could check the man page for swaptab to get some ideas of what can be done. I'd suggest having a line something like: /ExternB/private/vm/swapfile lowat=33554432 #32meg lowater mark I actually do somewhat more elaborate setups, but don't have the time to write those ideas up right now.

After running SimpleNetworkStarter on the NeXTStation and rebooting in verbose mode the network is still unreachable. If I try to ping the NeXTStation from the PC the network is available but I get 100% packet loss. When booting the NeXTStation the system reports that the computer is not connected to the network or the network is disabled. I am following the steps outlined in the NeXT documentation. I do not have an ethernet HUB but I do not believe one is necessary sine the machines are side by side. Is this assumption correct? Can I test the ethernet post on the NeXTStation somehow? Also, SimpleNetworkStarter is unable to change the local hosts name. The documentation says to change the name. Is this a bug? I looked for any patches on NeXTAnswers but did not find any for this.

If anyone has suggestions, I'd appreciate any input. I've connected the two machines using twisted pair/RJ-45 connects via a 3com hub. I've been able to get the master server (intel) working, and everything seems to come up fine; I did enable automatic host addition. both machines are seen by the hub When I boot the cube, the boot sequence halts and gives me the "no response from configuration server press ^C to continue ...." message. I've looked at the documentation and haven't had anything jump out at me, help!

We also have a NeXT mono slab running NS 3.2 (I think). The slab used to be able to see an external hard drive attached to the cube, but since we updated the OS, that's no longer true. The machines are part of a non-NeXT network. Neither of them is a NetInfo client or server and that's how we want it. Both of them have entries for each other as seen in HostManager. The cube is exporting a directory via NFSManager and the slab is importing it. Both machines have been rebooted since making those changes. When the slab tries to look in /Net, it does see a directory for the cube. Clicking on that results in an error message on the console on the slab. Unfortunately I don't have the exact error available, but it wasn't complaining about access privileges. Also, when I try to use NFSManager on the slab to import the directory from the cube, if I click on "Select from NetInfo", it does not show the directory I'm trying to import. If I'm also trying to export a directory from the slab, then the directory the slab is exporting shoes up in that menu. Can anyone help me? Please reply via e-mail.

So you need to configure and run a name server (named) on your machine. Read 'man named', or look at for the BOG. Configure a /etc/named.boot (assuming a 4.x version of BIND) and create the appropriate databases for your domain.

Those tools have nothing whatsoever to do with setting up DNS. NetInfo serves the same role as YP/NIS; the information in NetInfo is seperate and unrelated from configuring and running a nameserver. -Chuck Charles Swiger | cswiger@BLaCKSMITH.com | standard disclaimer ---------------+------------------------+-------------------- I know you're an optimist if you think I'm a pessimist. #################################################################### Newsgroups: comp.sys.next.sysadmin From: tachang@gsbux1.uchicago.edu (Andrew Chang) Subject: How to run "dump" with compression?

I am a new Win* user running Win95. I am also running OpenStep 4.1 (a UNIX operating system). My UninterruptiblePowerSupply software under UNIX uses a serial port connection from the UPS to COM1. When Win95 starts up, it sends some signal to the UPS via the serial port which makes the UPS beep continually. I can make it stop by telling Win95 to ``Add New Hardware''.... when it gets to the word "Progress..." in the Progress meter, it must send another signal down the serial port which makes the UPS stop beeping. I have tried disabling and removing COM1, COM2, Printer Port and the "Unsupported Device" listed in the Device Manager of Win95. None of that seems to work. I am wondering if there is something else I can try. It takes about 5 minutes for the Add New Hardware thing to work, and it pretty much makes Win95 unusable since it doesn't really multi-task all that well. I'd be happy to hear some suggestions. It is an APC SmartUPS 450. APC was supposed to send me some software to control the UPS under Win95 but it never arrived. TjL -- My FROM address is fake. Too much spam. I will check for followups.

NeXT Software Archives @ Peak.org http://www.peak.org/next http://www.peak.org/openstep PEAK is the premier NeXTStep/OpenStep FTP site in North America. NeXT Software Archives @ Peak.org http://www.peak.org/next http://www.peak.org/openstep PEAK is the premier NeXTStep/OpenStep FTP site in North America. This is the World Wide Web interace to the FTP site. Apple Enterprise Software Group (formerly NeXT Computer, Inc.) http://www.next.com Here is where you'll find the NeXTanswers archive, with information on OpenStep installation, drivers and software patches. Apple Computer's 'Prelude to Rhapsody' Self Support Site http://devworld.apple.com/dev/prelude.html This site has been constructed to help you help yourself to learn as much as possible about the foundation for Rhapsody, today's OPENSTEP. The site provides an informal collection of pointers, references, and starting points for developers who are using the Prelude to Rhapsody bundle, distributed at this year's Worldwide Developer Conference. OpenStep/NEXTSTEP/Rhapsody Related Usenet Newsgroups ==================================================== 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. 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. Messages posted to announce should NOT be posted or crossposted to any other comp.sys.next groups. 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. 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. 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. 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!!! 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. COMP.SYS.NEXT.SOFTWARE This is a place to talk about [third party] software products that run on NEXTSTEP systems. COMP.SYS.NEXT.SYSADMIN Stuff relating to NeXT system administration issues; in rare cases this will spill over into .programmer or .software. ** RELATED NEWSGROUPS ** 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. COMP.LANG.OBJECTIVE-C Technical talk about the Objective-C language. Implemetations discussed include NeXT, Gnu, Stepstone, etc. 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. Getting the Newsgroups without getting News =========================================== Thanks to Michael Ross at antigone.com, the main NEXTSTEP groups are now available as a mailing list digest as well. next-nextstep next-advocacy next-announce next-bugs next-hardware next-marketplace next-misc next-programmer next-software next-sysadmin object lang-objective-c (For a full description, send mail to listserv@antigone.com).

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 If you have any problem with the system or suggestions for improvement, please send mail to nextanswers-request@next.com.

Yeah, apache itself built just fine, I was wondering about the suexec add-on though. It took a lot of major changes to get that to build, and the docs for suexec warn against changing anything... -- --=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Barry J.

I'm trying to configure it similar to the way I had it before (only cleaner), but there are some things I can't seem to get back: 1) Previously, my home directory was indicated be a nice house and the home directory of other users ("me") showed a pair of houses. A got my own house back (it wasn't there at first; I can't remember what I had changed to get it back), but the other users' home directories just show a plain folder. How can I get the houses back? 2) Previously I had both my local computer and one networked machine appear in /Net. Now I can only see the other machine. Maybe this is how it's supposed to be set up, but I want to make certain; if it isn't, what did I miss? 3) When I tried reinstalling the Emacs package (shareware, 4.20a1) it got through the post_install routine up until it tried to dump temacs to emacs and emacs-19.34.1; at that poit it gave an error 292: Memory fault. It worked when I installed it on the former hard drive. 4) The above error prompted me to check my memory limits, and I discovered that I had a datasize of 6MB and stacksize of only 512K! I'm sure that my limits were more reasonable before I reinstalled NeXTSTEP, but neither my previous nor my new shell startup scripts make any change to the limits. Where is this small size coming from? (BTW, increasing the limits to 128MB and 32MB, respectively, did not fix emacs.) -- Trevin Beattie "Do not meddle in the affairs of wizards, *To*reply*to*this* for you are crunchy and good with ketchup." *message,*remove*the* --unknown *asterisks*from*my*email*address.* #################################################################### Path: news.informatik.uni-muenchen.de!news.muc.de!news.space.net!newsfeed.ecrc.net!news.maxwell.syr.edu!cam-news-hub1.bbnplanet.com!news.bbnplanet.com!feed1.news.luth.se!luth.se!newsfeed.sunet.se!news99.sunet.se!news01.sunet.se!129.16.9.9.MISMATCH!news.chalmers.se!not-for-mail From: Olof Torgersson Newsgroups: comp.sys.next.sysadmin Subject: No Console Date: Wed, 31 Dec 1997 17:30:35 +0100 Organization: Dept. of CS, Chalmers, Sweden Lines: 22 Message-ID: <34AA732B.5A38@cs.chalmers.se> NNTP-Posting-Host: lips.cs.chalmers.se Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable X-Mailer: Mozilla 3.0 (X11; I; SunOS 5.5.1 sun4m) Hi I run OS 4.2 on Intel hardware. = My problem is that Tools - Console only works when I am logged in as root.

You are aware that you need a special "crossed" cable if you are going to connect two computers via 10-base-t twisted pair without using a hub, right? It may, if you don't have cable-making tools, be easier to get a $50 hub--or maybe you can find a crossed cable at your local compu-mart.

The settlement included a rebate program entitling purchasers of computers with 120 and 133 MHZ Pentium processors during the period October 23, 1995 to January 5, 1996 to $50 rebates on the purchase of a Pentium OverDrive processor. The rebate certificates are freely transferable and can be sold to anyone. To recieve a rebate certificate, those eligible need to download a Request Form from Intel's website at www.intel.com/procs/support/pentium/certif/certif.htm and send it to Intel in accordance with its instructions, or call Intel at 800-628-8686. The rebate coupon portion of the settlement was directed toward a short period of time during which Intel had admitted having disseminated incorrect SPECint92 benchmark test results. The most significant result of the settlement requires Intel to disclose in all future disseminations to consumers that the SPEC benchmark results and iCOMP Index 2.0 scores may have been calculated using differently configured systems. These disclosures inform consumers that the ratings for different Intel microprocessors are not directly comparable. #################################################################### Date: 5 Jan 98 01:38:59 -0500 Subject: connecting to IBMnet From: "Mitchell Allen" X-Mailer: Cyberdog/2.0 Newsgroups: comp.sys.next.sysadmin X-News-Servers: news3.ibm.net X-Newsgroups-TO: nntp://news3.ibm.net/comp.sys.next.sysadmin MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-ID: Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit NNTP-Posting-Host: 129.37.214.171 Organization: IBM.NET Lines: 9 Path: news.informatik.uni-muenchen.de!lrz-muenchen.de!uni-erlangen.de!newsfeed.nacamar.de!news-peer.gip.net!news.gsl.net!gip.net!newsm.ibm.net!ibm.net!news3.ibm.net!129.37.214.171 I've been trying to set up PPP on a 3.3 system and a 4.1 system so I can access IBMnet, but not having any luck.

I have a strange problem with the beta driver (4.02) for SB 16 audio cards posted on NeXTAnswers. The previous version (4.01) correctly identifies and configures my AWE 32 card, and all sound functions work as they should. However, the 4.02 version gives me the following at boot time (from /usr/adm/messages): Jan 5 14:47:28 guava mach: PnP: configuring Creative SB AWE32 PnP Audio Jan 5 14:47:28 guava mach: SoundBlaster16: This driver does not support 8-bit Sound Blaster cards. I am left without sound until I reinstall the 4.01 driver. The message is odd, since of course mine is not an 8-bit card. I have tried BOTH PnP personalities of the 4.02 driver (with and without 8-bit DMA), by the way. Any ideas?

This is the "old" Millennium, not the "new" Millennium II. The video card came with 2-mb of WRAM and I upgraded to 8-mb. My monitor is a fairly high-end Nokia (model 445Xav). The display driver on the 4.2 CD is version 4.00. At first this driver seemed to work, but I noticed one problem. My first choice of Display Mode (in Configure) was 1152x864, 90 Hz, RGB 888/32. After a short trial period, I noticed there were thin vertical "stripes" that rippled. They were most obvious with black text on white background. They were hard to see with other backgrounds. I have not done much testing, but the following Display Modes seemed to work: 1152x864, 90 Hz, 444/16 1280x1024, 90 Hz, 444/16 1280x1024, 75 Hz, 888/32 There might be a time factor as well. I did not try these other modes for long and they seemed to work. When I went back to the original choice, I think that it seemed to work at first, and then developed these "ripples" a bit later. Then I went to NeXTanswers and saw new released (v4.09) and beta (v4.10) drivers. I tried both, thinking they might solve my original problem and that other improvements might have been made as well. When I chose the same display mode (1152x864, 90 Hz, 888/32) and rebooted, I got a message on my screen about video parameters being out of range. These same parameters worked earlier with the old (v4.00) driver and my monitor claims to support up to 100 Hz at 1152x864. The new driver listed more display modes, so I tried 85 Hz rather than 90 Hz, but the same thing happened. This was true of both the released (v4.09) and beta (v4.10) drivers. Testing was painful because each time I failed, I had to force a reboot, boot with config=Default, wait for fsck, boot with config=Default again, and then try a different display mode. None of the several I tried worked. Am I doing something obviously wrong? (always my first choice :). Have others had this problem? Any solutions? In summary, here are my questions: 1. Has anyone else noticed what I'll call vertical ripples in the display when using 1152x864, 90 Hz, 888/32 with a Matrox Millennium (8 mb) and the v4.00 driver? 2. If so, is there a fix, or should I just use a different display mode? 3. Has anyone been able to use the v4.09 or v4.10 drivers with a Matrox Millennium with 8mb? 4. If so, does it work at 1152x864, 90 Hz, 888/32? 5. If so, any ideas about why it doesn't work for me? Thanks in advance for any help. I appreciate it.

Is this when you send mail from your machine to another one on your local network, or to the outside world? If it's the outside world, the problem may be with your ISP's forwarding system. I know this first-hand because at my work address we are having such problems right now.

I have installed NS w success on a SCSI Intel box, but this is my first attempt on an ATAPI/EIDE. Everything goes fine up to the point that the drivers for the CD and HD are asked for. After the Adaptec 154x and EIDE/ATAPI drivers are chosen (as per instructions on NeXTAnswers), the "Starting NEXTSTEP" message appears for a split second, then the screen goes black. The system is locked up entirely. I have jumpered the CD as slave, and attached both CD and HD to the primary controller, again as per NeXTanswers. The BIOS can see the HD and is aware of its size. Both CD and HD function fine in Win95 (which exists in a partition of its own). I found the entry in the NeXT FAQ by Don Yachtman, who suggests: > Load the SCSI driver and then load the EIDE driver. Don't follow > the directions they give you (which are to load the CD's driver and > then load the hard drive's driver). Do it backwards, so that the hard > drive you are installing to gets assigned sd0. By swapping drivers like > this, the CDROM gets sd1 which is what the installation procedure expects.

I'm saying a prayer for plug n' play . . . ITMT, I finally got around to installing DR1 on my P166. WinNT4 on IDE and Rhapsody on SCSI (via Adaptec). Install goes fine but initial config is the problem: During initial config my built-in ATI Mach 64 video is detected and I went ahead and picked the default settings for IRQ, etc. Then I selected 640x480 to make sure I had a 256 color palette (to be on the safe side). Then on reboot, I get maybe 4 colors, tops! Most of the screen is blue or black and I'm stuck. Can't read any text on the screen to change config settings to save my life. Here's what chaps me: The Apple install manual says to type "config=default" at the boot: prompt to load general drivers so I can at least see the config panel to change stuff. But instead I get the error "Config can't find /private/Drivers/i386 . . . default.table". I boot in single user mode and the file is definitely there! BTW, I've taken out the IDE drive and shut down the BIOS entry so everything is strictly SCSI now. What gives?? BTW, I will eventually need to install the Rhapsody boot loader over my NTLDR on the IDE drive. Per Apple manual: enter "/usr/etc/disk -b /dev/rhd0h". It's not even there! Funny, but I found the "disk" utility in the /sbin dir. Anyone know what I'm REALLY supposed to enter? Lastly, where is there some good online Rhapsody tech libraries that should cover these "mistakes"? I can't find jack, just tons of Dev info. I guess this is the price you pay for having Apple "Associate" Developer status . . .

That is exactly the problem. Adaptec's suck. It is all or nothing for Cmnd Queueing on Adaptecs. Yet another reason why I love DPT's.

Doing IP Masquerading on a computer has the major benefit of being more updatable -- various protocols need differing amounts of fixing to work over IP Masquerading, and I'm not entirely certain that getting a system that might not be as configurable for that sort of thing (router) would be wise. -- --------------------------------------------------- Pat Gunn, moderator:comp.sys.newton.announce comoderator:comp.os.os2.moderated "You can always judge a man by the quality of his enemies." -- Dr Who http://junior.apk.net/~qc ------------------------------------------------ #################################################################### Path: news.informatik.uni-muenchen.de!lrz-muenchen.de!uni-erlangen.de!newsfeed.nacamar.de!news.maxwell.syr.edu!Cabal.CESspool!bofh.vszbr.cz!news-fra1.dfn.de!newshost.uni-koblenz.de!not-for-mail From: droege@informatik.uni-koblenz.Drop_This.de (Detlev Droege) Newsgroups: comp.sys.next.sysadmin Subject: Re: Defect in Usermanager of OS4.2?

There is a known bug in UserManagers group management if you run it in "German" language setting. It's simply a bogus NIB file in German.lproj.

I've been using this machine off and on for the past few months and recently, I began installing all sorts of applications. Anyway, I added a few to the rc.local file to allow the machine to boot them upon startup. Now, startup stops at the local daemons point. I'm guessing that I made a goof somewhere in that file and it's causing this hang. What can I do to fix this? I've tried booting into single-user mode, but after entering bsd -s at the NeXT> prompt from the rom monitor, I get a "Exception #3 (0xc) at 0x1000374" error. I've also tried to telnet and FTP over (at the point when the machine seems to hang), which I can do, but I cannot login is root, therefore I can't modify any files.

If I recall, in order to enable command queueing with OpenStep, -all- SCSI devices on the chain must support it. You can't enable command queueing on a device-by-device basis.

First, can I install the latest sendmail.pkg (8.8.5) over my existing sendmail (8.7.5) installation? Or should I compress and delete the 8.7.5 package first. Second, my machine will act as a mailer hub for several other machines. What specific sendmail features should I be aware of regarding anti spam. It is my understanding that 8.8.5(8?) has included additional ways to limit spam and also prevent the use of hubs/relays by spammers. ie, restrict mail acceptance to specific machines. Is this correct? Thanks, Ryan -- ________________________________________________ Ryan P.

Is this correct? See http://www.sendmail.org/antispam.html and links from there. Sendmail 8.8.? makes it easier to implement the rules against relaying (the important term you want to prevent). Basically you need to make sure that the mail you are accepting is meant for someone on your machine. There are also rules for allowing relaying for certain IPs (ie if you need the machine to be an outgoing relay for your valid users). Rule: deny all except to those who need the ability to relay.
