When I started here as NeXT sysadmin, there were four root passwords in use but only three were known. I used the approach I described whenever I encounted clients using the unknown one. Also, NeXT's man page confirms my description: An alternative implementation of su is in /bin/su.wheel. This version, which is shipped without the setuid-root bit turned on, allows users in the ``wheel'' group (group 0) to su to ``root'' using either their own password or the root password. I don't disagree that this may not be the best thing for su.wheel to do and I'm not claiming what other Unicies do. As far as reseting the root password on a NeXT system, the scheme I described works -- try it yourself. - Christopher

You are mixing up filesystems and DOS partitions. NEXTSTEP and OpenStep can only have one partition per physical disk. The documentation (see man fdisk) calls this a "DOS partition". However, it is possible to have more than one filesystem in such an area on the disk. The documentation calls this a "filesystem partition", and these are referenced by /dev/sd0a, sd0b, sd0c... So we have two different concepts of "partitions" here and the general concept is totally different from that of LINUX. This way, it is unfortunately not possible to simply add an OS partition on the same physical disk. To have more space for OS, you would have to delete your OS partition, create a new one with bigger size and then reinstall your system again. Well, it might be simpler to buy a second disk...

I had a serial port cable built as per the online documentation (one that does hardware flowcontrol), and am trying to connect to campus Unix machines from home. Here's the symptoms: I can talk to the modem fine, the modem can dial campus modems fine, the NeXT (via tip) can talk to the terminal server at the other end fine, but when I try to telnet from there to any of the Unix boxes (I've tested with solaris and AIX), I get a login: and Password: prompt just fine, but no matter what I type (including logging into my own workstation), I can't login. If I take the same modem and hook it to my ancient 286 running Kermit, everything works fine-- so I'm presuming there's something strangely wrong with my NeXT setup. More details: I can connect to the echo port, and characters I type there are echoed immediately. Also, while trying to login, things like ctrl-D (to try to end the failing telnet) don't work. I've tried a number of different things in /etc/remote, to no avail. I'll post or forward them if anyone wants to know, but I started by taking the default one that comes with the system and upping the baud rate (to 38400-- I figured that'd be fast enough for talking to a 14.4 modem). Has anyone run into this kind of problem before? Brad Elmore bee@gsu.edu Internet member since 1987

Ok with a little thought...here's what I've come up with thus far: Frequency Intensity 1 Swap High High 2 /tmp Med High 3 /User Med Medium 4 /Apps,/Library,/Developer Med Low 5 /systemStuff Med Low Ok, there are the five basic uses...and I put next to it guestimates as to how the related files are accessed on the average user's setup...no facts, just gut feeling as to it... Frequency deals more with how many different seeks might be made of that item within say an hour...and intensity is how long the access is for (frequency relating more to seek times, intensity to throughput). Ok, so based on the above in part I've come to the conclusion that you want to lay things out in the exact opposite way depending if you have a single physical drive with multiple partitions or multple physical drives. I.E. If you have a single physical drive, Locality of Reference will make things faster if you keep heavier used things near each other. If you have two physical drives you want to split apart the two heaviest used things to take advantage of the simultaneous use. So, for example...If you have a single 4Gb drive, you would want to keep your 1&2 (above) together because they are heavily used, and you wouldn't want the drive to have to travel really far between the two... But, if you had two physical drives you might want to split the /tmp and the swapfile apart so they may both be accessed at the same time... Ok, onward... I thought a little more about it was trying to come up with "ideal" setups based on use... Sadly I miserably failed, but a few things came about. Several basic types of tasks are: Activity: Type of activity(Degree of use relative to above avg) Launching: 4(Heavier),1(Mild) Compiling: 2(H),1(Avg),4(H),3(Avg),5(H) Web: 1(H),2(H)--Translating all those images with Omni is heavy :) RunningApp:3(Avg),1(Avg) LogInFlush:4(H),1(M),2(H) Ok, the only thing that stands out is that 1(swap) is used everywhere and deserves some consideration. Also, /tmp (2) type stuff is used in a lot of cases too... Anyway, Here are my suggestions for two scenarios... Scenario A is for a 4Gb drive that must be partitioned (because of the 2Gb limit into two 2Gb partitions), and Scenario B is for a two drive setup, a 1Gb and a 2Gb drive. For both I'm assuming that items 3&4 (the user and localapps/library stuff) will take close to 2Gb's worth of space (since that's the reality for me :) Scenario A: Here we would want to keep the big heavy tasks as close together as possible. a) Anyway, I'd likely put 1,2,3 & 5 on partion 1, and 4 on partition 2. b) It might be even better to put 4&5 on partion 1 and 1,2,3 on partition 2--However, a) above might be a little easier to manage in the way of future upgrades... Scenario B: Here we want to split up all the heaviest tasks onto seprate drives to get the best simultaneous access rates possible. a) Put 1&5 on the 1Gb drive, and 2,3,4 on the 2Gb drive...this is likely really nice unless your 1Gb drive is significantly slower than the 2Gb drive (If the 1Gb drive isn't at least 65% the speed of the 2Gb drive, the swap being on the 1Gb drive might be a performance penalty--relatively). Anyway, doing so would seperate the swap (the heaviest process/access) from the other heavy processes. b) Put 2,3,5 on the 1Gb, and 1&4 on the 2Gb. This would ensure that the swap is on the fastest drive and still splits the loads rather decently. Perhaps you might even try c) put 2&5 on the 1Gig, and 1,3&4 on the 2Gb drive...i.e. moving the user files to the larger faster drive. This might be done just for ease of administering...having all the /Local* and /User files in one spot... Also, it would allow more room on the 1Gb drive for system stuff (i.e. with 4.2, developer, eof, webobjects, a couple of servers (and maybe even the 3.3 developer stuff) 1Gb is going to start getting tight). Anyway, I have no idea if any of this will work out in practice...just some musings I hope might prove useful to someone else... -- Thanks, be well, take care, later, John Kheit; Self expressed... __________________________________________________________________ monoChrome, Inc.

Actually, I have a theory about swap... swap should generally be the access of last resort. If the currently active application is swapping, the machine starts to approach unusability. So, the first thing to assume is that you have enough RAM that the active application doesn't swap much if at all. [Put another way, if you don't have enough RAM, then tuning the swapfile isn't going to do you any good.] From there, you have to look at the lifetime of apps (or perhaps projects would be better - projects being a set of apps you use to do a job). Assuming the current project fits in RAM, then when you quit the current project and move on to another, there's suddenly a lot of free space for the next project to use, without necessarily having to swap in anythat that was swapped out already. [This is why I tend to quit apps rather than hide them. That way they don't clutter up my desktop _or_ my swapfile.] So I'd not rate swap "Frequency" as High, I'd rate it at Med, or even Low. [All the while keeping in mind that until recently I had 64M of RAM, and now I have 128M, so indeed I _don't_ swap much. I swapped noticably more with 64M, though :-).] Beyond that, though, you need to consider what accesses go together, not just which are high frequency or intensity. The most important swap accesses will be those involved with getting free space for a program you just executed, because they'll be on the critical path. These will come right in the middle of the system trying to read data from one of your other partitions. Sort of a lose-lose situation, because you might reference data on _every_ partition in launching an app, but generally you can decide in terms of size - the executable code accessed in a launch will generally be larger and more spread out than the data files, so that's where to concentrate. OTOH, when you're in some steady state just "operating" your program, and you keep growing things in memory, it's likely that you're doing most accesses to the swapfile, and not many to anything else. Another thing to consider is that apps and resources type files will often be mapped into memory, rather than loaded into memory. Meaning? That when the system needs some free space and some app is inactive, it can map out that app's code pages _without_ sending them to the swapfile. Later, it calls them back in from the app's executable. Shared and Dynamic libraries also do this, though older dynamically loaded NXBundle code does not. So when you bring back that inactive app, you're going to pull pages from the swapfile and from the executable's home, and possibly from resource files. Sigh, this isn't answering much, is it? My personal layout-of-choice is to have two disks, one booting the current version of the OS, the other booting the earlier version. That way I can easily back off if need be. Nowadays, that means NS3.3 on one disk and OS4.2 on another. From there, I have them each mount the other on /Disk, and swap to it's swapfile at /Disk/private/vm/swapfile. Works out pretty nicely. In the past it's been asked if it's worth swapping out to an older 400M disk which only does (say) 2MB/s rather than your new 2Gig disk which does 5MB/s. I would still consider swapping to the older disk, because a) I don't swap much as it is, and b) when I do swap, it's the _seek_ time that's important, not the transfer rate. Say the new disk is 5400RPM, the old is 3600RPM. When seeking to the swapfile, the new disk requires an average 9ms seek time, plus an average 6ms or so waiting for the right area of the disk to come around. Then it has to write the block. Then it has to seek back to what it was doing, adding another 15ms. During that 30ms of wastage, the old disk could have written perhaps 64k or so of data.

I've made several attempts, but never gotten very far. The Adaptec2940 driver on the original driver floppy wouldn't load at all. I got updated boot- and driver-disk images from NeXTAnswers, and now the SCSI driver loads and the NS installer sees my disks. However, installation inevitably crashes shortly after I select the Syquest drive (with disk inserted) as the target. I get something like: /etc/rc.cdrom [33] Memory fault /etc/rc.cdrom [34] Memory fault test: argument expected And then all processes die. Note that I have done this with BIOS enabled for removable disks, then again with BIOS enabled for removable disks only for booting. I have also set the Syquest drive (SCSI ID 4) as the boot device (in the Adaptec configuration utility). Any ideas? Cheers!

Happens sometimes, usually due to a process that won't die correctly or due to problems unmounting all the filesystems. You can sometimes get the system to still shutdown cleanly by using the right-hand command key + ` combination which will give you the option to halt or reboot the computer *with* sync. You may need to do this repeatedly.

Because it was easy to do, I have connected them with thin ethernet cable. I am a fairly knowledgeable PC user, am still getting to know NS, and know only enough about networking to get the SMC card in my Intel PC installed and configured, and to hook up and terminate the cables. Of course, at the moment both machines, though connected, are completely unable to "see" each other. From here, I need help with getting the machines to communicate, either one-way or both ways. My ideal situation would be two-way communication with both machines able to write/read each other's HDs, the Intel printing on the NeXT printer (I found the driver), and so on. I would be happy to settle for either machine seeing the other one-way. I have heard of Samba, but before attempting to tackle it, or any other app necessary for this chasm-bridging enterprise, I thought I'd risk the heckling and raspberries of more knowledgeable folks and post something here to ask if what I'm thinking about is impossible or just maybe worth the trouble after all.

How can I get files off a disk that suddenly came up as "Unformatted/Damaged"? ================= SCENARIO: I purchased MAC-formatted disks and reformatted them as NS. I believe one or two of them wouldn't format from Workspace and I had to bsd-s and "disk-format" them. Then I loaded them up with files. One disk (maybe not even one of these two) I got error messages (incomplete file transfer / i/o prob.) and had to reformat it via sdformat while booted up as singel user. One week later, I try to pull a file off of one of them and get error messages, and then I'm told that the disk isn't formatted. When I try fsck to repair it tells me I need an alternate superblock, but #16 doesn't work and I don't know how to determine what other superblock to use. These are extremely important files and I have no others! How can I get them off that disk? Do I have defective Zip disks or a defective Zip Drive? Any help to get the files off would be greatly appreciated.

Now, I'd like to switch the machine back so > it is a netinfo server, and I keep getting this message (I'm trying to do > this w/ Simple Network Starter) Simple Network Starter does what it says --- starts up simple networks. Once you've done that you should switch to the more general tools like NetInfoManager.app Fear not --- it's easy really. Netinfo takes a bit of effort to get your head round, but once you do get it, you'll rapidly come to the conclusion that it's the best network management tool since sliced bread. > Error: Can't Create Master NetInfo Server: (Duplicate domain tag: can't > save it) Right. The 'tag' for a netinfo domain is simply the name of the directory where the data is stored on disk: a domain with the tag 'foo' will be stored in the /etc/netinfo/foo.nidb directory. Common tags are 'local' --- the default domain that all machines have, 'network' for the next level up and 'world' or 'super' for the top level in a three level heirarchy. Most installations can get by with a two or three level structure, but you can have as many as you want. Oh, yeah. Domain tags are quite arbitrary: your network domain could be tagged 'network' on the master server, whilst the copy on the clone server can be tagged 'strawberryjam'. > I'm at a bit of a loss... can anyone help? Sure can. The fact that SNS is complaining about duplicate tags suggests that you already have a network.nidb on your machine. You may not be *binding* to the domain, so you don't see any of the contents when doing lookups, but it's there alright. You can list the netinfo databases served by a machine by running 'nidomain -l' in a teminal shell. You can look at the contents of your network domain by using NetInfoManager.app and doing 'Domain:Open By Tag...' To reactivate the old network domain, all you need to do is tell your machines to bind to it. You do that by using NetInfoManager.app to open the /machines/broadcast host directory in the local domain of each machine and adding the key 'serves' with the value '../network'. Then either reboot the machines (netinfo master first) or restart the netinfo servers on the machines by doing 'kill -HUP `cat /etc/nibindd.pid`' in a terminal shell on each machine, again doing the netinfo master first. You'll have to be root to do that though. To get the old network domain out of the way while you create a new one, you can simply rename the .nidb directory and then restart netinfo using the 'kill -HUP `cat /etc/nibindd.pid`' command. Or you can delete the domain for good and all using the command 'nidomain -d network' Once you've got a master netinfo server up and running, I strongly recommend you to make one of the other machines a clone server which you can do via NetInfoManager.app's Domain:Servers... menu. Otherwise, powering off your master server will leave your other machines completely stymied, and if you have a clone server you can transmogrify[*] it into a master server should your master have some sort of mishap. > Email appreciated, [Posted and mailed] Matthew [*] But that requires wizardry beyond the scope of this message... -- Certe, Toto, sentio nos in Kansate nin iam adesse.

I'm running "Prelude" on a homebuilt Intel system. The first question is, where is the Appletalk networking that the online manual talks about??? According to it I should see something when running "Preferences.app". The Appletalk would be nice, instead I've got to xfer data from my Mac to the Linux server I've got set up (running netatalk for Appletalk networking), and then from the OPENSTEP machine ftp it from the server. While far from ideal it works. However, ideally I'd like to be able to access the net from the OPENSTEP system. From the Mac I can do this by going through the Linux server which is configured to act as a Firewall, and has IP-Masqurading set up on it. From the Mac I just go into the TCP/IP control panel, tell it to connect via ethernet, put in the machines IP address, the subnet mask, list the Linux system as the router, put in NETCOM's DNS server addresses, and list 'ix.netcom.com' as my starting domain. Simple. Under OPENSTEP I've been racking my brains big time, I'm doing good to be able to ping my server using the hostname instead of IP address. I'm fast reaching the conclussion it isn't worth the effort. Any help would be appreciated. Zane

I'm trying to get a small network of NeXT computers talking to each other. The current problem (among others) is that when one user sends mail to another (even two users on same next), the mail fails to send. The error message I get from mail, in verbose mode, is that it doesn't have permission to append the message onto the appropriate mail file. Like the file /usr/spool/mail/user1 Unless it is root who is mailing, who always has permission to append, I guess. Any ideas? I've even changed permission on the mail file to 666 (universal access), which allows mail to be received for a while, but eventually the permission level drops back to 600, with user "agent" My email - that works - is at mikel@math.ucalgary.ca (Here's another clue.

BuildDisk.app and /etc/disk have built in heuristics that control the partitioning of disk drives. In all cases where no matching entry in /etc/disktab is found, the drive is partitioned according to these heuristics. One of these is that disks that have a raw capacity between 2GB and 4GB will be partitioned in two and that by default partitions are about equal in size. I don't doubt your observation regarding BuildDisk.app, although with respect to partitioning it is just a front end to /etc/disk. You'd better try 'disk' from a Terminal window. This puts you more directly in command. You have mainly two (possibly three) options. First, you could explicitly order 'disk' to use the whole available capacity for the first partition. Second you could use 'disk' to issue a format command to the drive, erasing all old partitioning information in the process. And you could come up with a matching 'disktab' entry specifying only one partition. There used to be a nice article on NeXTAnswers called "Adding on without flipping out" by Mike Tacchi giving clear instructions on that (I got my copy from the Peanuts Archive Disks, I suppose). But remember, there are no partitions beyond the 2 Gigabyte limit! -- Peter Nitezki | Nitezki@NiDat.sub.org # Blessed art thou who knoweth Staarenbergstr. 44 | Tel.: +49 7251 62495 # not about the pleasure and D-76703 Kraichtal | Fax : +49 7251 69215 # delight of being hooked GERMANY | E-mail defunct, sorry # up to the Net.

Well in an ideal world...But When using T2 and or OmniWeb things just do spew into swap.

You misunderstand what I'm getting at. Of course if you can split them up onto different drives that's great...but if you only have one drive, splitting them up to different partitions isn't so great, IMO. > > And when I didn't split the swap space from the rest of the > > system stuff, they were closer together on average, and the > > access was better. > You should size your root partition appropriately to put them > close together. It's pragmatically not doable. I left about 400mb free, which is necessary as I add things, like EOF, WO, etc...now there's about 300mb free. Heck, you know, I even think a fragmented swapfile, in this case maybe BETTER because it get's intersprinkled with all the other files I may use. Anyway, administratively it would be too annoying...let's say I only leave 20mb free on the system partition, then add something or cannot addsomething to it b/c it's too small... I have to redo the entire drive to get it to all fit...that's too much a pain. And quite honestly, I think at BEST the performance will just match when things are on the same partition... > > Now, it wouldn't do to put /tmp into the swapdisk...it's > > generally known to make weirdness happen and the system less > > stable... > 208-tertius% ls -l /tmp lrwxrwxrwx 1 root 11 Nov 12 > 1994 /tmp -> private/tmp@ 209-tertius% ls -l /private/tmp lrwxrwxrwx > 1 root 12 Apr 24 1996 /private/tmp -> swapdisk/tmp@ > You're mistaken.

I disagree. I think this is a case where the "theoritical should be" doesn't jibe with the "pragmatic is." I definatly _feel_ a decrease in performance this way... This machine has 64Mb of ram.

No problems at all. Then I tried it on a system with two Pentium Pro's. On this system the Windowserver.exe dies immediately with an alert panel telling me that the application has died unexpectedly. The title of that alert panel says: "C++ application error". The dual PPro system has an Asus MB and a Matrox Millenium VGA. Both systems are running NT 4.0 with SP3. My question: is there anybody who has running OS4.2 on a dual PPro (or dual Pentium) system? Or is there a problem with OS Enterprise on an SMP system? Which version of the MFC dll's are required for OS? hugob@tamtam.xs4all.nl

You do not have to be a professional photographer to sell your photographic work successfully, and as any pro will tell you, quite often throughout history an amateur stumbles on a scene that he or she photographs and ends up with a photo that becomes a classic. Those who publish magazines, books, newspapers, greeting cards, record albums, or just about anyone who works with images in their profession, are in desperate need of fresh material, and are more than willing to review photos submitted by professional photo representatives. Sometimes the photos of amateurs are sought after more so than professionals because of accidental originality and innovative themes. At Photo Phoenix International, we delight in and value the work of people who view photography as a fine art and understand a photo representative's significance in terms of a photographer's career, reputation, and monetary gain. The photos we are seeking are some of the following: ANIMALS, ARCHITECTURE, ART, AUTOMOBILES, BUSINESS, CELEBRITIES, DOCUMENTARY, ENTERTAINMENT, EROTICA/NUDITY, FASHION, FOOD, HEALTH, HISTORY, HOBBIES, OUTDOORS, PEOPLE, POLITICAL, PORTRAITS, STILL LIFES, RELIGIOUS, SCIENCE, SPORTS, TRAVEL . . . Whether your work portrays conservative, experimental, stylish, or innovative themes, your project proposal should be well thought out before submitting to us. For first contact, submit a query letter and "SAMPLES ONLY" of your photos. You must include "2" self addressed, stamped envelopes--one for correspondence, the other for the return of your material should we not be interested. If we think your work is sellable, we will respond as soon as possible. Do not send entire portfolio unless we ask for it.

I use Xircom PS-CE2 PCMCIA ethernet card to connect the laptop to LAN at work and IBM PCMCIA modem to connect the system to the network by PPP at home. I set the IP #, broadcast and default router address for the system to use it in the LAN and made /etc/resolv.conf too. The system works very nicely in the LAN but in case of PPP, it can not resolve DNS. I tried to sending SIGHUP to nibindd or lookupd. After killing -HUP nibindd, the DNS problem cleared but the Netinfo user authentication went down and thus, I couldn't get any application to work. Before, I used OPENSTEP4.1 -- I downgraded it for the locale problem -- and there wasn't those kind of problem. How can I set my laptop to work with DNS properly in PPP connection witout crashing Netinfo or changing the network setting in ethernet connection?

BUT: Everything that I tried to compile using C++ complained about a missing header file <new>. I am pretty sure this is not my problem, but a compiler problem. Question: I know PTR is a prerelease version. Is this fixed in the final release? Has someone managed to compile Objective-C++ using PTR? Win95: Mixed results: Some of the apps which got installed ran, some didn't. Mine didn't. Again: Is this because it is prerelease? In other words: how is the current release of OpenStep Developer/NT different from the one in PTR? Thanks, Dix

Message-ID: <5pqmpn$d00$1@gaea.omnigroup.com> As many people know by now (and others are yet to learn), configuring your Internet domain name and nameserver (DNS) entries under OPENSTEP/Mach (AKA Prelude to Rhapsody) requires either creation/modification via a text editor of /etc/resolv.conf or manual manipulation of /locations/resolver in NetInfo (usually via NetInfoManager). While not especially difficult, neither is a very friendly solution. I've written a small app, called Omni DNS Helper which I'm now releasing as a public beta. (Assuming all goes as well as expected, I'll promote it to an official release shortly.) This app provides a pretty simple graphical interface for configuring this data, as well as some detail on exactly what this data does for you, and some other notes on network configuration of OPENSTEP/Mach in a non-NetInfo world (NetInfo being OPENSTEP's network configuration technology). If you are interested in this application (full source is provided), see http://www.omnigroup.com/Software/OmniDNSHelper/. If you wish to wait until I promote this to an official release, send me email. -- andrew_abernathy@omnigroup.com - NeXTmail & MIME ok

Hi Timothy, NeXT doesn't support multi NIC's. But we worked in a Wireless Ethernet network on our NeXT 3.2 server running Token Ring.

This strikes me as a bad idea, or at least a dangerous one, because the .front file is used to make the compressed swapfile. As I said earlier, there's no real reason to want to copy it via ditto, so the fact that it fails is unimportant, unless it breaks ditto altogether. swapfile.front is not a real file. It is a necessary file, however, at least if you want a compressed swapfile. TjL

It is a necessary file, > however, at least if you want a compressed swapfile. Hmmm, i'm failing rather severly at expressing this... Ok, lets try this. If log in as root, and mount a blank 2Gb drive on your root called /myBlank. Then you want to ditto your current root to the blank, so you do the following: ditto / /myBlank After doing that, ditto will FAIL when it gets to swapfile.front because it's not a real file. I.e. making it impossible or difficult to ditto your root to another drive. So in essence you want ditto to copy everything BUT swapfile.front...but there is no easy way to tell ditto this...sooooo... What you do is make a BOM file, in effect remove swapfile.front from the BOM file, and then do this: ditto -bom myBomFile / /myBlank Now, the ditto will work since your modified myBomFile has a listing of every file on your hard drive EXCEPT the swapfile.front file which ditto is incapable of copying...

BTW, typing : dd if=/dev/rfd0a of=/tmp/ed.image conv=sync bs=8k ejecting the disk and typing dd of=/dev/rfd0a if=/tmp/ed.image conv=sync bs=8k panic'd my machine. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Emmett

This will happen if your computer has never been connected to a network or you kept the NetInfo database in its initial state. The initial local NetInfo settings for RenderMan don't work in most configurations. Start /NextDeveloper/Demos/RenderManager.app and configure the real name of your machine (or again localhost if you aren't in a network) as public renderer. After that, rendering will hopefully work fine.

Specificly, it manually sets the kernel _ipforwarding variable, which controls whether the machine will route packets between interfaces. Normally, the kernel automaticly sets this variable correctly depending on the number of available network interfaces, so this program isn't needed for standard multihomed usage as a gateway between networks. However, if you want to run a machine as a firewall with various proxy services between the two interfaces instead of routing packets, this program will let you override the kernel's default behavior, resulting in a more secure configuration. -Chuck Charles Swiger | cs4w@andrew.cmu.edu | standard disclaimer ----------------+---------------------+--------------------- I know you're an optimist if you think I'm a pessimist.

First thing is to make sure that samba is set up correctly. In the smb.conf (i think that's the name...) you have to set yourself up an account using whatever name you use to log into the Win95 box. Look at the examples at the bottom of the example smb.conf file to see how to do this. Then make sure that nmbd and smbd are running as daemons. If all this is set up correctly, you should be able to go to the "connect network drive" icon in explorer, and mount your NeXT there. The naming is the only weird thing--I named my linux box LINUX (original, huh?), so I mapped the drive like this: \\LINUX\mikesdir and it shows up as the next available drive letter (i:, in my case) It might be easier, tho, just to use FTP to ftp from the Win95 box to the NeXT...that's what I tend to do when I want to transfer files over.

I found a section (Chapter 11 of the System Administrator's Manual: Mixed Networks) in the on-line documentation (NS 3.3 was pre-installed and appears to be slightly incomplete) which explains that AppleTalk connectivity is a simple matter of activating a single check box beneath an apple icon in the preferences app. Problem #1: there is no apple icon in my preferences app. Does this mean that something was not installed, or merely that I've not set the computer up correctly? Connecting NeXT black hardware to UNIX machines should, according to the documentation, be similarly straightforward. Neither the NeXT nor the SGI will acknowledge the physical existence of a 10BaseT network connection. Problem #2: The machines are all physically connected through a DaynaStar 10BaseT hub, but the Macs are the only ones talking. I would appreciate any suggestions!

The last time I saw it, porting an OpenStep Mach app to OpenStep Solaris was not trivial and simultaniously maintaining Solaris and non-Solaris versions looked painfull. If you want to run custom OpenStep GUI apps, I'd recommend running OpenStep Mach for Sparc on those desktop Sun machines.

OpenStep Solaris is rather painful, but like another correspondent I only have a 32MB Sparc 10. It does look an awful like the NS 3.3 desktop though and is a good alternative to CDE. My big complaint with running OS Mach for Sparc is that it does not support UltraSPARC boxes. This leaves only the SPARC station 5 as current production platform. If you have a lot of SPARC 10's and 20's then you are probably OK. I really doubt that Apple is going to port to the Ultra line anytime soon with either Rhapsody or old Mach. _I'd_ like to hear experiences with PDO. -- Christopher Douty - Rogue Engineer trapped in a land of software cdouty@netcom.com "Frequently the messages have meaning; that is they refer to or are correlated according to some system with physical or conceptual entities.

You may want to quit a few applications or restart your computer to free up space. ------------------------------------------------------------ At the time I could see the File Viewer and it said I had 227 MB available on hard disk. I have WatchSwap running and I could see that the Swapfile was at 28.3 MB. I had a couple of minor apps running, but all the normal stuff I use (and no OmniWeb running). I closed a couple of them and suddenly got a message: "You're out of diskspace. Save your applications and reboot now." I looked and the File Viewer said "Your disk is full." I did a df and, sure enough, the /dev/hd0a and /private/vm/swapfile filesystems (both in a single partition) had no space available. How could that happen, all of a sudden? I rebooted and am back up to 248 MB (now that the swapfile is back to 16MB) and all appears fine. Any ideas? Thanks. Rob rjacobs@vk.stanford.edu

I have the boot floppy and the 3.2installation cd. how do I get rid of the Rom password? I just took the rom and the battery out, and will go try it in a few minutes, with them back in. and how is the floppy supposed to be plugged in? I am using a pc floppy cable with the a: end cut off. where is pin one on the next motherboard? as it is not labeled. is there a default password or something? at current, the machine tries to boot off the network, can't find it and just sits at "starting daemons" or similiar. thanks bryan

For instance: I want to be able to use icelandic chars in terminal when I'm using sed or awk on some file, but all my icelandic chars come out garbled. When I receive mail with Icelandic chars, they are garbled. Icelandic character set works in edit and other next apps, but not in the shell and mail.App. Does someone know how to switch on alternative char sets for the term and Mail? Any ideas Sigthor Hrafnsson

It doesn't happen all the time and it doesn't seem to screw anything up, but I am curious as to what it is. The message is: Jul 9 20:17:17 thrall netmsgserver[23]: netname_main.msg_send fails, kr = -102. Jul 9 20:17:17 thrall netmsgserver[23]: netname_main.port_type fails, kr = 4. or Jul 9 17:51:34 thrall netmsgserver[23]: srr_process_queued_request.srr_send_packet fails: 51 Jul 9 17:51:37 thrall netmsgserver[23]: srr_retry.sendto fails: 51, 8 + 120 = 128 Jul 9 17:51:40 thrall netmsgserver[23]: srr_retry.sendto fails: 51, 8 + 120 = 128 It happens with OmniWeb, some of the Lighthouse apps, and with CedarWord. It just started showing up at boot time as well. Is this a serious error message? Any tips or ideas are appreciated. Dean Johnson

I awoke to find that my hostname had been registered to TWO IPs (which I can't even begin to understand why, they are supposedly working on it). Then my rock-solid Intel froze, for no reason, under not very heavy CPU usage. Note: when it froze it was apparently running a bunch of sendmail processes to bring in all my email (about 125 messages) after I fixed the IP thing I mentioned above. The mailq file appears below as one of the files Rebooting the machine didn't work, fsck failed, telling me to run it manually. I've never had to do this before. I'm afraid of fubar'ing my HD. I installed 4.1 on a different HD and made that one the boot drive (which is how I am writing you now). I know that I can run 'fsck /dev/rsd1a' and have it interactively prompt me whether or not to fix whatever it finds -- do I just answer 'yes' to them all and hope that it comes out OK? Is this just a weirdness or a sign of a dying HD? It's only a few months old, Seagate Barracuda 2.1gb, I can't believe it's dying already. Note: I didd a 'verify disk media' via my Adaptec card and it did not report any errors on the disk -- but I'm not sure what to make of that. Here's the output of fsck -n /dev/rsd1a... sorry it is so long...

Since this rendering function was only meant to run on a large network and the apps are considerd demos, they might have forgot to test all possible setups.

I think the 'diskspace is low' message comes on when you have ~20megs free (or perhaps it is a % of the total drive??) If the swapfile wasn't growing (how often does WatchSwap update on your machine? It checks every 5 seconds on mine... I think the default is 30.

Date: 10 Jul 1997 19:41:27 GMT Organization: NIEHS Message-ID: <5q3dt7$h3p$1@jeeves.niehs.nih.gov> Keywords: format, partition, SCSI, Intel Hi, Well, I've goofed up again. I have an Intel system and I think I've messed up my 4-gb SCSI disk. Sometimes it acts like a 4-gb disk and other times it acts like a 52-mb disk. There are a few really weird things going on here. This is a new drive. I was experimenting with different partitioning schemes. Most of these did not work, but that's another story. At one point I decided to use sdform to reformat the disk (this may be the problem). The program did not complete successfully and soon after that, the system did not recognize my disk. Even DOS did not see this disk when using fdisk. Then I hooked the disk up to a NeXT machine, let the system initialize it, ran sdformat (rather than sdform), and then initialized it again. When hooked up as a secondary disk on the Intel system, the boot log shows the drive capacity as 52 MB. After booting, the whole 4 GB shows up. This I could live with. I assumed that some label got messed up and that it wouldn't affect anything else. Well, it seems to affect loading NS on the disk, and in weird ways. I've tried many times to do a fresh install of NEXTSTEP 3.3 on this disk and it always fails. I get to the panel where I can choose what software I don't wanted installed (e.g. French, Spanish, etc.). The bottom part of the panel shows only 52 MB available. There is a message saying something like "not enough room to install NEXTSTEP" and my choices are Quit or Cancel. Neither one helps. If I choose Quit, it does not quit, but rather just comes back to the same panel. If I choose Cancel, the same thing happens. Finally, I have to just power off the machine. Does anyone know what's wrong and how to solve the problem? This is really frustrating. As an aside, if I hook this same disk up and boot from a "good" disk, I can see all 4 GB and I can use ditto to install a base system and eventually get the system loaded that way, but when I try later to do a fresh install, it still does not work. Here another interesting thing. I just tried booting from a DOS floppy. Using fdisk showed no partitions. I created a small (142-mb) primary DOS partition and then tried again to install NEXTSTEP. I chose the option to install NS in the remaining non-DOS space. This time the panel shows lots of space (4 GB - 142 MB), and NEXTSTEP installs OK. Does anyone understand what's going on here? Am I doing something really dumb? I can live with a small DOS partition. In fact, I thought I might want that. But I don't understand why the install works if I create a DOS partition, but not if I don't. HELP, please! Thank you in advance. Bye, Gregg Dinse 919-541-4931 dinse@catatac.niehs.nih.gov

I actually built the system I'm running now via ditto -bom <stuff> from the NS CD-ROMs. I didn't want to use builddisk for various reasons (mostly I couldn't remember how to keep it from formatting my drive or at least to use my special disktab). I ran into a snag when attempting to boot the new OS for the first time. loginwindow.app came up in "install" mode and required some soothing to get into normal operation. My memory is a little fuzzy as to the details; this was several months ago. I think that it came up to the point where the install process asks which optional packages you want to install. I finally selected no additional packages and pressed "Continue." This flipped whatever semaphore loginwindow.app looks for to determine which mode to use and everything orked fine from then on. I do believe that it looks for a file like "first time" or something obvious which the normal CD install coppies on the the root directory. Just delete it and you can probably avoid the while mess. Someone also asked about what you need to do to make the disk bootable. The normal format with "disk" should install the boot block. I'm not too sure about interaction with Intel machine though. I did all my tricks on real black hw. One other thing to look out for using ditto though. If you use the BOM mode to copy files from the CD-ROM you will get a FAT install of the whole OS. I didn't quite realize this until I upgraded the machine I built using ditto and realized that everything is FAT. Now I have to lipo my whole disk! There is an option to ditto to thin the files on the way though, make sure to use it. I just realized what happened. I did use the -arch flag when building the disk, but my BaseSystem.bom listed everything as fat. You'll have to play arround with mkbom, lsbom and friends to fix up your BOM files after the copy.

But maybe if you use the 'disk' command (for information) on this drive it will report more than one partition like sda, sdb, ... and you 'autoload' only the first one. This would also explain that after the FDISK, when the disk is DOS scheme partitioning aware, you get the right amount of diskspace reported - without the FDISK paritition, NS administers the whole disk itself and doesn't write DOS/FDISK partitioning info to the drive, just its own (internal) one, which is incompatible to the FDISK scheme. To collect the whole disk for you (up to a maximum of 2 GB in the sense of 2 x 1024 x 1024 x 1024! not more, you'd have to use a second (UNIX) partition to access the rest) without FDISK partitioning run the 'disk' command for 'reformat' and manually give the right partition size (see man disk, '-p').

Message-ID: <maury-1107971406480001@199.166.204.230> Well I've got OS4.2 pretty much running now, but the networking refuses to act nice. The machine is a P166 with PCI, EIDE HD (Wester Digital) and a DEC21140 based ether card. I'm assuming that it's a 100Mb model (although we're on 10Mb) due to a light on the back reading 100M beside the TX and RX lights. I've selected the DECChip 21140 driver, which the OS presented to me automatically. I assume this means that the card is somehow managing to communicate with the system after some fashion. I' not too sure if the drivers for 10Mb and 100Mb really do anything different (anyone know?) so I tried both. No matter what I do I can't seem to "see" anything on the net. I tried a live ether feed on a working machine (NT) to eliminate that possibility, but the system just doesn't seem to see the net. I installed Novell and that comes up in the Net icon, but there's nothing inside it. SNS takes down my info OK (where do I put my DNS address?) but again nothing outside appears. There's really no error messages either. The Novell startup simply tells me it won't be running until I reboot - even after a reboot. SNS says pretty much nothing. Soooo, where too from here? I tried a few CLI utils like ftp, but no luck. Is there something a little more "to the metal" I should be using to diagnose the problem? Maury

In brief, if a new machine is connected to a small network (via a thinwire, i.e, coax) it will boot and communicate with other machines just fine. As soon as I unplug the terminator and connect the network to the local (MSFC) LAN, the new machine is no longer able to communicate with any other machine. Other machines on the local segment will still communicate (ping, nfs, rlogin, etc all work). BTW if I try booting fully connected to the MSFC LAN, it always hangs when trying to start the network (at the type ^C to continue without a network location). I've tried 3 IP addresses, one from a working machine that I switched off to steal it's address, and the other two were given to me as unused. Hence I don't think it can be an IP address conflict. (I've also tried lots of other things). By swaping ethernet cards, the problem swaps machines, hence there is something about the card. Of course, the IP address goes with the card, whereas the local netinfo database is on the disk which, of course, was not swapped so a little care/common sense is needed. The two cards that I am swapping are both Cogent EM960C. One was purchased a year ago, whereas the other is very recent. The cards look almost identical. It appears that Cogent was bought by Adaptec, so the manual is now printed by Adaptec and the model number is now (I think) ANA 6901 Combo. The print on the cards both say "emaster", with identical layouts, only a couple of minor chips are from a different vendor. Does anyone recognize the problem and have a fix (other than getting a 3Com card)? Does anyone know if there have been minor tweaks to the Cogent/Adaptec boards recently that could cause this type of problem? Maybe someone knows of a new driver (I've tried versions 3.37 and 4.02). A call to Adaptec technical support was a waste. After 20 mins of menus and being on hold, I was cut off, so I never got a human. So either hundreds of people have the problem or the one guy that does Unix ethernet problems was off for a while.... Thanks, Allyn

I have a TickleService called 'Open Folder' that brings up an 'Open' panel and then allows me to select any folder and open it as its own window.

I got it up and running. It's slow. Too slow to be usable. Does anyone have a few performance improvement tips? What daemons can I delete from the startup to improve performance without crippling the system. When running Windows 95 Virtual PC "feels" like a 486 DX2/66. Is that too slow of a system for OpenStep Mach? I'm also stuck in 640x480 x2 video. Changing the configuration in configure.app and reinstalling the driver doesn't help. Virtual PC emulates a S3 928 PCI SVGA video chip set with 2 MB of video ram. OpenStep appears to have recognized this but it is stuck in the default video mode. Experience with Virtual PC shows that matching the video display mode to that of the Mac has a considerable speed boost. Thanks for your help. From a NeXT novice, Marco Cappuccio

I participated in that mainly as an experiment and found that there are a tremendous amount of people willing to do it. I thought about how to, first, eliminate the "non-pay" problem and, second, to create a monthly income. I came upon the solution and decided to start a new program. I decided that there were 3 things that this new program needed in order to work for everyone and they were: 1.) It needed to be very simple and easy for anyone to do, and, 2.) It needed to be inexpensive enough for even the poorest of people, and, 3.) It needs to be DUPLICATABLE. I think you will find this program to meet those requirements. I have put lots of thought into it and I ask that you PLEASE do NOT modify it. This WILL WORK if you follow it. This system is based on the unconditional "loaning" of money to people. Simply say, "I am loaning you this $2 as an act of goodwill to help you in your financial need, you may pay me back if and when you can." You should find 5 or more people who will send $2 to the 5 needy people on this list AND MAINTAIN 5 or more people who will do the same. You should put your name on postition number 5 and move each of the other names up one position. The name originally on position number 1 gets removed. You should be able to contact each of your 5 or more people to see if they are going to be active this month. If not then you need to find one or more people to be active in order to maintain at least 5. I am not speaking about the 5 people on the list but rather the 5 new people you have found. I would highly suggest having more than 5 in any given month. Now I know that this would be extremely easy to do since I can think of at least 20 people myself who will do this consistently. The key is to maintain at LEAST 5 active people. If you don't then you can't expect for the rest of the people to do it either and you can't expect for this system to work. This system is a no-brainer, and if someone can't afford the $10 + stamps for this then they truly ARE in need! It is OK to use the internet to find people but I think it would be easier to find them through people that you know. This way it will be easier for you to contact them every month to ask about their being active, unless someone is willing to give you their e-mail address. Here are some numbers: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Monthly income model per level and total for maintaining 4 active members @ $2 each: Level 1: $2 x 4 people = $8, Total now $8 Level 2: $2 x 16 people = $32, Total now $8 + $32 = $40 Level 3: $2 x 64 people = $128, Total now $8 + $32 + $128 = $168 Level 4: $2 x 256 people = $512, Total now $8 + $32 + $128 + $512 = $680 Level 5: $2 x 1024 people = $2048, Total now $8 + $32 + $128 + $512 + $2048 = *** $2728 *** Yearly income: $2728 x 12 months = $32,736 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Monthly income model per level and total for maintaining 5 active members @ $2 each: Level 1: $2 x 5 people = $10, Total now $10 Level 2: $2 x 25 people = $50, Total now $10 + $50 = $60 Level 3: $2 x 125 people = $250, Total now $10 + $50 + $250 = $310 Level 4: $2 x 500 people = $1000, Total now $10 + $50 + $250 + $1000 = $1310 Level 5: $2 x 2500 people = $5000, Total now $10 + $50 + $250 + $1000 + $5000 = *** $6310 *** Yearly income: $6310 x 12 months = $75,720 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Monthly income model per level and total for maintaining 6 active members @ $2 each: Level 1: $2 x 6 people = $12, Total now $12 Level 2: $2 x 36 people = $72, Total now $12 + $72 = $84 Level 3: $2 x 216 people = $432, Total now $12 + $72 + $432 = $516 Level 4: $2 x 1296 people = $2592, Total now $12 + $72 + $432 + $2592 = $3108 Level 5: $2 x 7776 people = $15552, Total now $12 + $72 + $432 + $2592 + $15552 = *** $18660 *** Yearly income: $18660 x 12 months = $223,920 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Monthly income model per level and total for maintaining 7 active members @ $2 each: Level 1: $2 x 7 people = $14, Total now $14 Level 2: $2 x 49 people = $98, Total now $14 + $98 = $112 Level 3: $2 x 343 people = $686, Total now $14 + $98 + $686 = $798 Level 4: $2 x 2401 people = $4802, Total now $14 + $98 + $686 + $4802 = $5600 Level 5: $2 x 16807 people = $33614, Total now $14 + $98 + $686 + $4802 + $33614 = *** $39214 *** Yearly income: $39214 x 12 months = $470,568 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Keep in mind that it does not matter what day of the month that someone chooses to be active. It DOES matter that they are active on that day EVERY month. The key to this is DUPLICATION! You must treat this as a business. If you treat it like a hobby that is how it will treat you. You could even organize small meetings with your people and their prospects and work with your leaders. Think of how easy this would be for you, how reasonable this is, and of how good the chances are of it working for you. You may need to hire someone to open all the envelopes. NOTE: I decided on $2 instead of $1 because it is more feasible and it won't matter much for someone to send $2 as opposed to $1. Also I was against $5 as that becomes too expensive to duplicate. Mail $2 every month with a piece of paper saying "I am loaning you this $2 as an act of goodwill to help you in your financial need, you may pay me back if and when you can" to the following needy people: #1 Robert Jezil 114 Jefferson Ave. Slidell, LA 70460 #2 Phil Walther Jr. 9495 Annapolis Lane North Maple Grove, MN 55369 #3 C.

Here are some numbers: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Monthly income model per level and total for maintaining 4 active members @ $2 each: Level 1: $2 x 4 people = $8, Total now $8 Level 2: $2 x 16 people = $32, Total now $8 + $32 = $40 Level 3: $2 x 64 people = $128, Total now $8 + $32 + $128 = $168 Level 4: $2 x 256 people = $512, Total now $8 + $32 + $128 + $512 = $680 Level 5: $2 x 1024 people = $2048, Total now $8 + $32 + $128 + $512 + $2048 = *** $2728 *** Yearly income: $2728 x 12 months = $32,736 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Monthly income model per level and total for maintaining 5 active members @ $2 each: Level 1: $2 x 5 people = $10, Total now $10 Level 2: $2 x 25 people = $50, Total now $10 + $50 = $60 Level 3: $2 x 125 people = $250, Total now $10 + $50 + $250 = $310 Level 4: $2 x 500 people = $1000, Total now $10 + $50 + $250 + $1000 = $1310 Level 5: $2 x 2500 people = $5000, Total now $10 + $50 + $250 + $1000 + $5000 = *** $6310 *** Yearly income: $6310 x 12 months = $75,720 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Monthly income model per level and total for maintaining 6 active members @ $2 each: Level 1: $2 x 6 people = $12, Total now $12 Level 2: $2 x 36 people = $72, Total now $12 + $72 = $84 Level 3: $2 x 216 people = $432, Total now $12 + $72 + $432 = $516 Level 4: $2 x 1296 people = $2592, Total now $12 + $72 + $432 + $2592 = $3108 Level 5: $2 x 7776 people = $15552, Total now $12 + $72 + $432 + $2592 + $15552 = *** $18660 *** Yearly income: $18660 x 12 months = $223,920 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Monthly income model per level and total for maintaining 7 active members @ $2 each: Level 1: $2 x 7 people = $14, Total now $14 Level 2: $2 x 49 people = $98, Total now $14 + $98 = $112 Level 3: $2 x 343 people = $686, Total now $14 + $98 + $686 = $798 Level 4: $2 x 2401 people = $4802, Total now $14 + $98 + $686 + $4802 = $5600 Level 5: $2 x 16807 people = $33614, Total now $14 + $98 + $686 + $4802 + $33614 = *** $39214 *** Yearly income: $39214 x 12 months = $470,568 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Keep in mind that it does not matter what day of the month that someone chooses to be active. It DOES matter that they are active on that day EVERY month. The key to this is DUPLICATION! You must treat this as a business. If you treat it like a hobby that is how it will treat you. You could even organize small meetings with your people and their prospects and work with your leaders. Think of how easy this would be for you, how reasonable this is, and of how good the chances are of it working for you. You may need to hire someone to open all the envelopes. NOTE: I decided on $2 instead of $1 because it is more feasible and it won't matter much for someone to send $2 as opposed to $1. Also I was against $5 as that becomes too expensive to duplicate. Mail $2 every month with a piece of paper saying "I am loaning you this $2 as an act of goodwill to help you in your financial need, you may pay me back if and when you can" to the following needy people: #1 Robert Jezil 114 Jefferson Ave. Slidell, LA 70460 #2 Phil Walther Jr. 9495 Annapolis Lane North Maple Grove, MN 55369 #3 C.

I get stuck on the "NeXT Mach Operating System" screen right after the step where you select drivers for the hard drive and CD-ROM. At the bottom it says: BLC timeout Resetting SCSI bus... BLC timeout Resetting SCSI bus... and loops endlessly. My computer's hardware: Pentium II, ASUS KN97-X motherboard, BusLogic BT-958 SCSI controller (Ultra/Wide), UW SCSI hard drive, SCSI-II CD-ROM, PS/2 mouse, Adaptec 6901C ethernet card, internal SCSI Zip drive. All the SCSI devices are connected to the one BusLogic controller. The IDs are: hard drive is 0, CD-ROM is 2, Zip is 5, controller is 7. I selected "BusLogic PCI SCSI Adapter (v4.01) (Dev:12 Func:0 Bus:0)" as the driver for both the hard drive and CD-ROM. This must be the correct driver since selecting other drivers caused a different type of failure. I couldn't find anything out of the ordinary about this driver in the NextAnswers page. Anyone know what might be the problem here? -Karl ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Karl Pfleger kpfleger@cs.stanford.edu http://www.stanford.edu/~kpfleger/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- P.S. The last few lines before it begins to loop are: PCIC: No device at base address 0x03e0 BusLogic controller at port 0xd800 BusLogic: 16 Targets per bus; Host ID=7 Resetting SCSI bus... Registering: sc0 BLC timeout Resetting SCSI bus... BLC timeout Resetting SCSI bus... etc. A note on SCSI bus termination: SCSI bus termination still seems somewhat complex to me, especially when you have a mixed wide/narrow bus. The card has a wide (68-pin) connector and a narrow (50-pin) connector on the inside of the machine. Off of the wide connector is the hard drive which doesn't appear to have termination enabled, and then a free connector, which doesn't seem to have anything in it. Off of the narrow connector is the Zip drive without termination enabled, then a free connector, then the CD-ROM which does have termination enabled. I currently have both Windows95 and Linux (RedHat 4.2) installed on the computer and both appear to work fine with all SCSI devices. When I first tried it, the CD-ROM was set to SCSI id 1 and did not have termination enabled, but Win95 and Linux still worked fine. It doesn't seem like the wide end of the bus is terminated to me but I can't terminate it at the moment. I don't have an active terminator to stick on the last wide connector and I don't have an appropriately sized jumper to stick onto the jumper slot no the hard drive to enable its termination. I guess the vendor I bought the computer from recently didn't include any and the ones from the CD-ROM and Zip drive of which I have a few extra seem to be too big to fit. But if this is really a termination problem, why do Win95 and Linux work fine? Linux taxes the SCSI bus just as much as Openstep, one would think. I'll call the local electronics store (Fry's) and find out how much an active wide terminator costs.

I'm assuming that it's a 100Mb model (although we're on > 10Mb) due to a light on the back reading 100M beside the TX and RX lights. Most 100Mb/s cards will also run at 10Mb/s and should automatically determine what speed the ethernet is running at by detecting the heartbeat signal. It's typically the experience that if there are any 10Mb/s devices connected to an ethernet segment, all devices end up running at that speed. If your card is running at 100Mb/s on a 10Mb/s network, then you should switch to the 10Mb/s version of the driver, or you won't be able to talk to anything else on the network. > I've selected the DECChip 21140 driver, which the OS presented to me > automatically.

Yeah --- PCI cards have a unique ID number according to make, model and manufacturer which allows Configure.app to know what drivers match your particular hardware. ISA devices --- like most sound cards --- have no such built in identification, so you'll be prompted with all of the known drivers of that class. If you boot in verbose mode, part of the text you see scrolling past will be a listing of the ID numbers for all of the devices attached to your PCI bus. [Deletia] > Soooo, where too from here?

The primary tools in OpenStep for sorting out networking problems from the command line are: ifconfig --- tells you how the interface is configured (IP, netmask, broadcast address): can also be used as root to change interface configuration. eg: kings-arms:~:% ifconfig -a lo0: flags=869<UP,LOOPBACK,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING> inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000 en0: flags=63<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING> inet 195.224.29.19 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 195.224.29.255 netstat --- interface to all sorts information to do with networking as read from kernel data structures.

Just run exportfs -va to re-export all partitions, and mount -va to mount any new partitions. NFSManager.app basically takes care of this for you when you change the entries for the local machine, but not for entries in other machines' local netinfo or in network netinfo domains. Automounted filesystems (ie. anything set up to be mounted on /Net) will fix themselves over time: the chached results from lookupd have to time out, etc. etc. Unfortunately the only we to hurry this process along that I've found is to reboot. > - What processes are running that are part of NFS? The daemons that handle the NFS system are: nfsd --- handles the exporting (server) side biod --- implements a buffer cache for asynchronous IO on the importing (client) side You'll usually see from 4 to 8 instances of each of the above running. autonfsmount --- handle automounting various partitions portmap --- the rpc master daemon: allocates NFS requests to the appropriate daemon. rpc.mountd --- the rpc daemon which handles mount requests. > - Can I kill these processes and restart them to get the same affect > as rebooting?

Like I said, NFSManager.app is the tool to use to administer NFS exports/mounts. You can also use NetInfoMAnager.app to access the netinfo database directly, if that takes your fancy. Remember that under NextStep or OpenStep, the exports and mounts databases have to be stored in netinfo: you can't use flat files. > - does anyone know of a step by step process going about doing what I > want to do? > > Currently, when I try to mount a directory from this NeXT machine, I > get RPC: Program not registered error.

If all you have is a telnet session, the best method is to dump out the fstab and exports files from netinfo into /tmp, edit them there, and then load them back into netinfo: nidump exports . >/tmp/exports vi /tmp/exports niload -p -d exports . < /tmp/exports exportfs -va nidump fstab / > /tmp/fstab vi /tmp/fstab niload -p -d fstab / < /tmp/fstab mount -va Matthew [Posted and mailed] -- Certe, Toto, sentio nos in Kansate nin iam adesse.

Most of what you need to know can be read from /etc/rc: if [ -f /usr/etc/exportfs ]; then # Clear the table of exported filesystems before running exportfs. > /etc/xtab fbshow -B -I "Exporting filesystems" -z 68 if /usr/etc/exportfs -a >/dev/console 2>&1; then # There is no "right" number of nfsd's. Infrequently-accessed # servers can get by with 4 or fewer. 8 is not excessive for # heavily-loaded servers. /usr/etc/nfsd 6 && (echo -n ' nfsd') >/dev/console /usr/etc/rpc.mountd && (echo -n ' rpc.mountd') >/dev/console 2>&1 fi fi As you can see, nfsd and rpc.mountd will only be started if there are any exports (which makes sense). To add new exports either use NFSManager or go myhost> niload exports / /SomeRootDir -some_mount_options_or_other ^D which does the same thing. Then run '/usr/etc/exportfs -a' to export them. Note that once an export has been added /etc/rc will start nfsd and rpc.mountd at boot time for you automatically.

I can reproduce your behaviour with an Adaptec 2940 U/W quite easily by (all physical things being setup correctly) not telling the adapter to not(!) send an initate-comanand and to not(!) negotiate with (what follows) and to use 20 MB/s only with a Nomai 540 MCD drive (serving as a SyQuest 3270S replacement). I.e. this drive hangs the bus, although being detected correctly before, in the same manner, you describe. After changing the settings (for the ID of this drive only in my case), everything runs fine. In your config (assuming an U/W disk can do U/W :-)), the SCSI CDROM- drive and the Zip-driver (especially) are possible candidates. I could determine the device by booting verbose and the first device not reporting back (i.e. disk recognized (in may case), MCD driver didn't even show up in this(!) phase, it did before) was the culprit.

Good --- but can you ping any other machines on your network[*]? I guess not. Have you tried swapping out the ethernet cables? Sometimes a damaged cable or connector can generate echoes which scramble packets on the network. Attaching your OpenStep box to a known good drop cable etc. should eliminate a number of possible failure modes. Hmmm... Another weapon in the tcp/ip management arsenal which I forgot to mention before is 'traceroute', which shows you all the gateways your packets go through to reach a particular destination. It's usually used for diagnosing problems several network hops away, but it will show up local problems too. Here's the route from here to one of the 2ary DNS servers for our zone: traceroute to ns2.xara.net (194.143.161.107), 30 hops max, 40 byte packets 1 router (195.224.29.254) 0 ms 10 ms 0 ms 2 astra-th1.astra.co.uk (193.82.224.239) 30 ms 20 ms 30 ms 3 hs0-0-xfs-dmany-many.TH7.core.rtr.xara.net (195.224.64.1) 30 ms 30 ms 30 ms 4 hs0-0-xfs-dmany-many.TH7.core.rtr.xara.net (195.224.64.1) 30 ms 40 ms 30 ms 5 se0-llb-x-th7.PT1.core.rtr.xara.net (194.143.162.62) 40 ms 30 ms 30 ms 6 ns2.xara.net (194.143.161.107) 30 ms 40 ms 30 ms > The card is seeing network traffic. Presumably you can tell this from the blinken lights on the back of the card? If you try connecting to your OpenStep box from one of your other machines --- it doesn't matter how --- you should see it's IP and Ethernet MAC address listed in the output of arp --- use arp -a but be prepared to wait for the timeouts while arp fails to lookup hostnames in DNS.

Ho hum. It's about this time I'd be firing up snoop or tcp_dump or some other network sniffer to see if (a) any sort of packets are being generated by the system at all and (b) that the packets which are generated are well formed. It always was impossible to run a network sniffer on black next hardware, and i believe the same is still true of PC hardware under OpenStep. We have a Solaris box that I use for this purpose. What sort of router do you use? Most brands support the ability to ping hosts, and many can let you monitor the traffic on the network. > The next step would be? I hate to say it, but the symptoms you describe do sound to me a lot like a machine that has been plugged into a different network than the one it's configured for. Unless the two match, nothing else on the network will ever be able to get a packet back to you --- from their point of view, that machine's IP number is on some remote network, and they should send packets out through the gateway to get to it. Is there even the remotest possibility that you've typo'd somewhere in setting up your OpenStep box? If that's not the case, then I'd start to look at swapping out the ethernet card: it could be that the one you have simply doesn't work with OpenStep. Or that your card is faulty somehow. Matthew [*] Sometimes you can ping the network number or the broadcast address and get a response from many of the systems there: usually Unix boxes (including OpenStep machines) will respond, but PC's not running Unix, Macs, routers etc. won't.

Of course, the IP >address goes with the card... Not true. The card's ethernet address goes with the card, but the IP that this hardware address is mapped to just depends on the ARP tables in your router. If you change cards, the router will correct the tables to map the new hardware addr to the IP of your station. The IP is either provided to your machine at boot-time by the domain's Netinfo server (if you use automatic host configuration), or read from /etc/hostconfig. Maybe it's just a bad card. You could try slapping it into a Windows machine for testing. If the card checks out OK you might look again for an IP conflict in your network. Those can make a number of bad things happen. If your MS net has only Win95 and NT machines (Win 3.x was too dumb to respond to pings), you can just try leaving the bad station off and pinging the IP that you think is free. If you get an answer, then there's already a machine at that address. -- ---------------------------------------------- Gary Finley, Psychology Dept.

Sounds like the system is currently configured to net boot. This probably means that there is no operating system on its hard-drive. The hard-drive is probably a small one used for swapping once the system has pulled a copy of the kernel into memory over the net. > Combine this with a lack of manuals or a copy of the installation > software and you come up with a big mess. Anybody out there have any > thoughts or suggestions for me? If the system doesn't have a floppy drive just ignore the advice below. 1. Get a newer bigger SCSI hard-drive to hold the operating system. 2. See if someone in your area got the Rhapsody pre-release CD-ROM at the developer conference and would be willing to give it to you. 3. Get the installation boot floppy image from www.next.com. 4. Install the operating system. Note that if the system continues to want to net boot after the hard- drive is installed, you will need to change the settings in the non- volatile RAM on the motherboard by using a special key sequence and some cryptic commands (further info available at www.next.com). You might want to get some more RAM as well, 16 MB is a little tight for the latest iterations of the operating system, even when running in mono-only. ciao -- Allan Noordvyk, Software Artisan, ALI Technologies

Date: 16 Jul 1997 02:32:16 GMT Organization: University of Maine System Message-ID: <slrn5sod1u.a2n.billc@home.upside.net> The story so far... I deleted /etc/hostconfig and my NeXTstation woudln't boot (it hung on the automounter). I waited 30 minutes, which I thought to be reasonable. Then I rebooted, starting the machine in single user mode and copying a backup copy of hostconfig. When I finished, I tried to reboot with "reboot sd", the computer rebooted, and plopped me back in single user mode. I looked through NeXT answers and couldn't find anything applicable to this situation. Also, does anyone know how to start with a fresh netinfo config? I've been using the machine off of a network, and assigned it arbitrary values for the IP address, hostname and such. Now I need to put it on a network. Thanks for any help. - Bill <billc@upside.net>

Whenever someone dials in and your server accepts the call, the system freezes and must be switched off. This does not happen when we dial out, only when someone dials in. Maybe it's a problem of the serial port driver? At least NS 3.3 had lot's of problems with it. Greetings -- # Constantin Szallies, Energotec GmbH # szallies@energotec.de # 49211-9144018

There is at least /etc/hostconfig which is used during the network startup phase. And I don't know about UUCP and PPP. There might be something 'round the corner.

By way of explanation, if I move through a file using the down arrow, I will eventually be interrupted by a system beep, the editor will go into insert mode, and a 'B' will be displayed. If I try to move up I will eventually be interrupted by an 'A'. Right is a 'C' and left is a 'D'. This makes editing next to impossible on these machines. It doesn't happen on all machines I log in to, but on too many to be a coincidence. If I slow down the keyboard repeat rate, things improve, but it still occurs.

This isn't true - the original Canon MO drive still functions just as well as it ever did under OS 4.1 (not sure about 4.2 because my MO drive failed, but there's no reason to believe that it wouldn't work). What may be confusing you is that MO drives aren't supported in Turbo Cubes - i.e., those with the Turbo chipset (33 Mhz. 68040, etc.). There's no MO drive connector on those CPU boards. -- Art Isbell NeXT/MIME Mail: arti at lava dot net Trego Systems (for whom I don't speak) Voice/Fax: +1 808 394 0511 OPENSTEP/NT Voice Mail: +1 808 394 0495 managed care solutions US Mail: Honolulu, HI 96825-2638

I'm far from an expert on this hardware, but here's my 2 cents: So are there two SCSI busses or one? If two, is the "Bus:0" driver really going to work? Maybe you need a "Bus:0" driver PLUS a "Bus:1" driver. As far as I know, the "one termination at each end" rule works best. From your description, it might help to plug in the free (wide) end connector into the drive and make sure its terminated. If there are really two buses, then make sure termination of both is "on" on the board itself. My Adaptec controller turned out to be in the middle (or would have been if an external device was attached). So if the two buses are really one, then don't terminate the board. Check the board and HD's manufacturer's web sites for termination specifics and dip switch pinouts where applicable. Configure the controller to use more conservative SCSI settings: slower transfer rate (I'm at 5MB), disable "reconnect" (or is it auto-disconnect?), look for settings that might be less taxing on the bus. I did a lot of this sort of thing on mine, it turned out I had the wrong driver selected (and had to adjust IRQ & DMA, but the SCSI controller (thru "Mach OS") told me specifically when that was the case.

Do you have your mail host in NetInfo? Have you reconfigured sendmail since switching providers (barepower.net --> earthlink)? Perhaps that is what is needed.

Zilla is effective enough, but it was intended more for large scale distributed computing then for the role of doing parallel builds. Maybe you might want to look at pmake, which is a modified version of GNU make with parallel compilation support (intended for the Intel Paragon). Perhaps you could do something interesting starting from that. -Chuck Charles Swiger | cs4w@andrew.cmu.edu | standard disclaimer ----------------+---------------------+--------------------- I know you're an optimist if you think I'm a pessimist.

Just tried setting the HD down to 10MB/s, the CD-Rom to 5, and the Zip to Async (which is all it will do anyway), and turning off disconnection on all of them, but that didn't change anything.

By way of explanation, if I move through a file using the down arrow, I will eventually be interrupted by a system beep, the editor will go into insert mode, and a 'B' will be displayed. If I try to move up I will eventually be interrupted by an 'A'. Right is a 'C' and left is a 'D'. This makes editing next to impossible on these machines. It doesn't happen on all machines I log in to, but on too many to be a coincidence. If I slow down the keyboard repeat rate, things improve, but it still occurs. I would appreciate any ideas to fix this. It's driving me crazy. Thanks. It may just be a problem you'll have to live with. The arrow keys are implemented by sending ^[[A (ESC [ A) and so on. So far as I've been able to determine, many programs code in a timeout for receiving the second and third characters, and if they come in after the timeout, they'll be interpretted as if you had just typed them directly. I'm not really sure why this is, but I've seen similar things to what you describe. Seldom, for sure, but sometimes. You might want to learn the main keyboard keys (hjkl for left, down, up, right), they won't have the problems the arrow keys have. C-n and C-p also work in most vi's I've used. You might also consider trying a different vi, such as vim or elvis - though I can't vouch for whether that will actually _help_.

You must be doing this on NeXTStep 3.x, right? There's a definition you'll have to track down in the developer .h files in /NextDeveloper/Headers. That'll stop the compile error you're getting. Next there's some function calls that you'll have to resolve. I was able to include files from the same directory for one of them. The other one I wasn't. It was a call to shut down child threads or such kind of thing. I nervously commented that one out. It's been awhile since I did this and I've since deleted the sources from my machine. However it is pretty easy to find the problems and the result is reliable. Samba is included and trivial to install on the Openstep 4.2 Prelude CD-ROM. Sorry I can't remember more details about how I got it to work but it isn't hard to fix. Look in the server.c file at the line number you got the error on and go looking for the missing reference/value that it's s'posed to refer to. It should be a number from a #define somewhere.

The printer is connected to a NeXTcube which is the master of a very small netinfo network. However, this has proven to be much more difficult than anticipated. When I run PrintManager, the Delete button for Local_Printer is dimmed. So, I try a different approach. If I simply remove the printer and reboot the cube, the queue still exists but it is given Unavailable access. As a result, the Delete button is inactive. Ok, I'm still not ready to admit defeat yet. Using NetInfoManger, I manually delete the printer. This, sadly enough, fails too-- for when I reboot, the queue reappears yet again to mock me! Now, I'm stumped. What is happening here? Is there any way to remove this printer queue? Help me, Mike Paquette, you're my only hope! :) -- Charlie Root "LaRouche in 2000"

The mail client will most likely either be Eudora or Netscape. We will need to convert our users' mailboxes from NextMail to MIME. Specifically, if they have messages that have NextMail attachments, we will need to reincoporate the attachment back into the mbox file and convert it to MIME, including any headers in that particular message that will need to be changed. Most of the attachments are either postscript files or WP for NeXT, which is WP4.2 compatible. So, I don't think there will be an initial headache of converting the attachments to a Windows compatible format. But this business of reincoporating the attachments back into the mbox file, and converting it all to MIME has me scratching my head. This does not seem like an easy thing to do. Hopefully someone has already solved this problem, otherwise we're going to have to write some crazy code for this task. Any help or advice is greatly appreciated. -dave

You mean beyond using ProjectBuilder's standard remote build feature? Zilla's probably not worth much for such a use. The problem is that network builds move the bottleneck from the CPU to the network. For instance, a P133 building to a local disk will probably build faster than a PPro200 building to an NFS mount. Adding additional compiles over NFS is just likely to overwhelm the network, without much additional performance. I always have the same thoughts when I get a new system, which leads to another valid reason. When I was loaned a SparcStation5, I figured "Wouldn't it be neat to gang the sparc, 486, and NeXTstation together to speed up XXX". Unfortunately, the Sparc was so much faster than the other systems that they would only have added a couple percent of additional performance. Then I got a Pentium 133 system, and it was faster than the other three together. Now I've got a PPro166, and it's much faster than the others ... sigh. Systems get faster at an exponential pace. The PPro166 compiles the same code around 6x faster than the NeXT hardware did. The moral? You're probably better off putting the compile process on the server where the source files reside, and making that a fast server. Give it enough memory, SCSI, and fast disks. Then let it rip. I repeat: Compile process on the server where the source files reside. I cannot emphasize that point enough. My PPro takes ~32s to compile BackSpace on a local disk - and 1:45s to compile it on an NFS-mounted disk. Sorry, I don't have the resources to try multiple simultaneous compiles mounting from the same server to see how that affects things. You might _barely_ be able to make a distributed build system work well if you had 100Mbit ethernet, and the file server was Linux or some other system with a decently tuned NFS and filesystem. OTOH, if you're going to the expense of setting up a 100Mbit ethernet network for this, and a differnet OS on the server, it might actually be cheaper to just get the fast machine in the first place.

From: doyle@aps.org (Mark Doyle) Newsgroups: comp.sys.next.sysadmin Subject: Help with ifconfig, route, ppp, and all of that Date: 20 Jul 1997 02:58:37 GMT Organization: American Physical Society Message-ID: <5qrust$rac@sun20.ccd.bnl.gov> Hi there, OK, I think I have all the bits and pieces to set up a small home network, but I am not quite sure how to get it all working together nicely. Here is what I have: 1) Intel machine with an ethernet card and a PPP connection. 2) Slab with ethernet. I have a crossover cable to connect the two ethernet ports together. I have 4 IP addresses (I control the other end of the PPP connection as well): my.sub.net.133 --- PPP server (on office machine) my.sub.net.134 --- PPP client (Intel machine at home) my.sub.net.135 --- for en0 on slab my.sub.net.136 --- for en0 on Intel There are other machines on the subnet that I don't want to intefere with. So far I have PPP set up and working correctly. I would like to enable the en0 interface on the Intel machine and get the Intel machine to act as a gateway for the slab (and probably a netinfo server and NFS server as well). netstat -rn looks like this so far: (zeke)doyle:~|10> netstat -rn Routing tables Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Interface 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 UH 4 1604 lo0 my.sub.net.133 my.sub.net.134 UH 1 2 ppp0 default my.sub.net.133 UG 6 6477 ppp0 on the Intel. When I tried to activate the ethernet on the Intel machine by putting an IP entry in HostManager, it configures en0 with that IP address, but then traffic doesn't go out over the PPP connection even though it is configured to be the default route. I ended up with another line my.sub.net my.sub.net.136 U 0 5 en0 in the table above. Perhaps I picked a poor netmask [the default 255.255.255.0]? Trying to just explicitly add at my.sub.net.135 my.sub.net.136 route defaults to the ppp0 interface and not the en0. How can I specify to the route command that I want this route to be assigned to the en0 interface? So what route's do I have to add and how can I get the ppp0 to be the default except when I am trying to talk to just the slab via en0? I imagine that when I get this working I will have to add an arp entry as well on the office machine for the slab. Thanks, Mark

A comprehensive list is available on Stepwise. Stepwise OpenStep/Rhapsody Information Server http://www.stepwise.com Stepwise has been serving the OpenStep/NEXTSTEP community since March 1993. Some of the many resources on the site include: OpenStep Third Party Software guide, Developer Directory, Mailing List information, extensive listing of FTP and WWW sites related to OpenStep and NEXTSTEP, OpenStep related Frequently Asked Questions. 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).

I would like to be able to mount directories from machines in each domain under /Net/domainXX, but it appears the automounter does not recognize mounting to anything but /Net. What I tried was simply editing the entries in the netinfo database by hand in Netinfomanager then restarting....this allowed nothing to be mounted. It appears I might be able to kludge a fix from the rc script but I would really like to just fiddle with netinfo entries. Is there something I am missing, should this work, or is there a known fix. All help is appreciated. -- AB _______________________________________________________________ Alan A.

Originally we had all machines using only their own local NetInfo domain. I put our correct domain into /etc/resolv.conf and everything worked fine. The names of the machines were specified only by their hostname without the domain. Now I have set up a root domain NetInfo server. Again, all the machines have the correct domain in /etc/resolv.conf But for example pine doesn't see the domain and only tries to use the hostname (without the domain). Web server (apache) does the same thing and all the links on our site broke as the server returns its name to the browser without the domain suffix. I have set up the web server and pine by hand in the appropriate config files, but would like to fix it the proper way. Could you tell me where to put the domain suffix in the NetInfo. Or should all the computers have their host names with the suffix?? In addition, could you tell me which command to use to check whether the domain name works. What mechanism is used by pine and apache web server to determine the host name? Thanks a lot. Rudy. (Please send a reply by e-mail, too - if you could.

I had to remove the patch on my system for the time being. Eventually I'll have some time to muck around with the patch and figure out what they are trying to send.

By default NeXTen look up host names in netinfo first, and then fall back to DNS if they can't find the name in netinfo. As the netinfo database is simply a glorified /etc/hosts file, it behooves you to enter the fully qualified domain names in there. The way I do it is to enter the FQND as the first and thus canonical name, with shortened of alternative names as "nicknames". In fact, I define the FQDN to *be* the hostname in all cases --- it makes a whole lot of sense really. The only objections to it that I have heard are really just aesthetic: people don't like seeing "host.dom.ain% " as their csh shell prompt. To which I reply (choose one): i) Use tcsh ii) set prompt=`hostname|sed -e s',\..*$,,'`"% " iii) Learn to live with it. However, depending on how well your applications are programmed and whether the C library does the right thing or not, you may possibly be able to get away with listing the FQDN second. YMMV. As a principle of good administration, it should be possible to have just one authoritative hostname database, which really has to be the DNS system on a machine connected to the internet. Unfortunately, the netinfo system isn't quite smart enough to support that: you have to have a 'name' entry in the machines netinfo data or many things seem to break, particularly the netinfo binding and the automatic BOOTP configuration stuff that happens on reboot. > I have set up the web server and pine by hand in the appropriate config > files, but would like to fix it the proper way. > > Could you tell me where to put the domain suffix in the NetInfo.

You say in a later post: > I forgot to include that I use NextStep 3.2 on black and NS 3.3 on white. Unfortunately, NS 3.2 machines don't like the netinfo /locations/resolver property: they basically just ignore it. Stick with the /etc/resolv.conf flat files which will work fine for NS 3.2. If you were running a network entirely with NS 3.3 or greater, /locations/resolver would be the way to go. > In addition, could you tell me which command to use to check whether the > domain name works. What mechanism is used by pine and apache web server to > determine the host name? Use nslookup to check whether your DNS config is correct: this will bypass any netinfo or NIS lookups and go to DNS directly. You should be able to test that the domain suffix gets added appropriately. Pine and apache will use the gethostbyname(3) or gethostbyaddr(3) calls to translate between IP numbers and host names. If you have perl installed, you should be able to test exactly what they return fairly easily. Matthew [Posted and mailed] -- Certe, Toto, sentio nos in Kansate nin iam adesse.

I can also run a POP server on my slab and serve 2 PCs (self and partner's) running Eudora again quite happily. The only hastle I have had is in remembering to kill sendmail before I dial into the ISP, otherwise I have a race between SMTP and POP3 to deliver the mail. Over the weekend, I configured crontab to run the manual scripts overnight. This is where the fun started. crontab: 0 0 * * * /bin/sh /etc/ppp/killSendmail.sh > /dev/null 2>&1 5 0 * * * /bin/sh /etc/ppp/callDemon.sh > /dev/null 2>&1 When I dial in, the dial-in is performed as expected, popOver starts, email is transferred from the ISP, sendmail restarts, email is transferred and the system idles for around 4 minutes until the ISP drops the link. Most of the time this is picked up and the ip-down script is run. Otherwise I send a HUP signal to pppd which then cleans up for me. I will drop the link under more controlled circumstances later. When I run this under cron/crontab, the system panics at the end. Any clues? For clarity, the two main scripts WORK FINE when used MANUALLY. The panic only occurs when under the control of cron. When the system reboots I canwork to the ISP manually without problem. Pourquoi!!! The same scripts are run as root from the command line.

Where you're going wrong is trying to put all of the machines' interfaces on the *same* network. For the routing to work correctly they should be on *different* networks --- that is --- the en0 interfaces for your home network should be on a different network to the machines at you office, whilst the ppp0 interface on your gateway machine should be on the same network as your office. There are a couple of ways you might get round this: i) Use a completely different network at home. You can just grab one of the RFC1918 network numbers out of the 192.168.0.0 -- 192.168.255.255 block which are reserved for that purpose. However, you can use those numbers to access the internet at large. You will have to set up routing on your office machines to talk to your home machines if you do this. ii) Sub-net your office network to give yourself a /30 bit network block at home --- that's the minimum you can plausibly have, giving you a network number, two host IP numbers and a broadcast address. You will need an additional number for the PPP interface on your gateway machine which should be on the office part of the network. Again, this will require you to make changes to the routing on the machines around your office LAN, but this should let you access the rest of the world OK. Or I think you can use the proxy-arp trick with a setup something like this, and avoid the need for routing changes. iii) You should, in theory, be able use to the natd (ftp://kn6-045.ktvlpr.inet.fi/pub/natd/README) "Network Address Translation Daemon" to dynamically translate packet addresses between your home ethernet numbers and your office numbers. You would use one of the rfc1918 networks as above, but translate the addresses in the packet headers on the fly as they pass through your gateway machine so that they appear to come from it's PPP interface. Unfortunately, while this software exists for FreeBSD and various other 4.4BSD Unixen (Rhapsody? --- it would be a really handy feature), I don't think that anyone has ported it over to OpenStep at the moment --- someone would have to write a lks to support this.

I now have 3 of them running on my TurboSlab. However, it took me a while to figure out what needed to happen in order for them to work. Thanks to many people on the net, I came up with the proper solution. I have uploaded instructions and the software required to ftp://ftp.next.peak.org/pub/next/submissions/IBMpage0change.tar.gz The readme file follows: Cheers, Steve ------------ Hi all- A week and a half ago I began to try to install one of the new IBM UltraStar 4 gigabyte hard disks. Like many others in this group I have had bad luck with the reliability of the LOUSY UNRELIABLE SEAGATE BARRACUDA drives. I've installed 8 of them in the past year and a half and I've had 4 I-DON'T-KNOW-I'M-A-SCSI-DEVICE SEND-ME-BACK-TO-SINGAPORE failures in that time. 50% failure in 18 months is a lot worse than the published MTBF. As far as I Quantum looks to be even worse. So, I've been looking around for another solution. I found that I could buy an IBM DFHSS4UF 4 gigabyte for $879 in an external enclosure. The specs looked good (8.5 ms access, 7200 rpm, etc.) so I decided to give it a try. The disk refused to allow itself to be formatted by a NeXTstation. I spent a good deal of time attempting to tweak a disktab, and finally realized that there was something fundamentally wrong when "disk /dev/rsd1a" would let me perform read tests, but refused to let me perform write tests. Many kind folks on this group helped me work out the solution to this problem. Thanks to James Quick, Randy, and rencsok@channelu.com for suggestions about possible solutions with disktab. Timm Wetzel finally came up with the solution. The IBM drives have the ASPDE (Additional Save Data Pointer Enable) bit set to 0 in the SCSI page 0. This bit needs to be set to 1 in order to work with black hardware. You can do this with the old version of scsitools "sense" and "select" commands. Unfortunately, these tools seem to have been lost from the archives when nova.cc.purdue.edu went away. One more person (Ernst Kloecker) came to my rescue with a copy of the scsitools and now I'm up and running. The IBM disk is much quieter than the LOUSY UNRELIABLE SEAGATE BARRACUDA drives. Let's hope that it lasts longer.... So far, I'm quite pleased with the drive. Now, here's how to modify the IBM defaults so that the drive can be used on black hardware. ----------------------------------------------------------------- If (be sure to check!) your drive's page 0 is laid out like the DFHS, then the following will work. IBM will send you a fax of the relevant docs if you call 800-IBM-3333 in the US. I'll be uploading a copy of scsitools.new.tar.gz to next-ftp.peak.org as soon as my new machine name propagates through DNS so that peak will let me ftp. Here's how to set the ASDPE bit for an IBM OEM DFHSS4F: 1. Make sure you know which scsi drive to send to: inquire will come back with a listing of the devices. Suppose your IBM drive is listed as "-t 2 -l 0" 2. Get a copy of the page 0 bytes: sense -t 2 -l 0 -p 0 > somefile.orig 3. Make a copy of "somefile.orig" to "somefile.new" and change the line that reads -mp00 0003 31 ff # b1 ff 80 b1 to read -mp00 0003 b1 ff # b1 ff 80 b1 4. Now make the change: select -t 2 -l 0 -p 0 -f somefile.new You should now be able to use "disk" to format the drive. I ended up using the following disktab entry: DFHSS4F|DFHSS4F-512|IBM OEM DFHSS4F:\ :ty=fixed_rw_scsi:nc#4392:nt#16:ns#135:ss#512:rm#7200:\ :fp#320:bp#0:ng#0:gs#0:ga#0:ao#0:\ :os=sdmach:z0#64:z1#192:hn=localhost:rw=a:rw=b:\ :pa#0:sa#4194304:ba#8192:fa#1024:ca#32:da#4096:ra#10:oa=time:\ :ia:ta=4.3BSD:\ :pb#4194304:sb#4194304:bb#8192:fb#1024:cb#32:db#4096:rb#10:ob=time:\ :ib:tb=4.3BSD: Remember, if you copy this disktab from your newsreader, that blank space at the beginning of each line but the first has to be _one_ tab.

Two methods: 1) change your mailer to a shell script that runs rsh on the POP server or 2) config sendmail to masquerade_as your pop server. #2 is preferable because #1 is not as safe and requires .rhosts be set up on the POP server and that they don't mind you running sendmail on it #2 can be done with sendmail.8.8.5 and installation instructions on PEAK and would be the easiest way to do this.

The following from http://devworld.apple.com/ngs/lpp/adrpub/docs/dev/prelude/getting_started.html If you are using OPENSTEP for Mach on Intel - the product that will become Rhapsody for Intel - you'll need to get the Enterprise Objects framework for Intel. The decision to include WebObjects in the Prelude to Rhapsody bundle overlooked this dependency. Enterprise Objects is not included in the bundle. You can get the Enterprise Objects framework for Intel from Apple's devworld site. The archive is 18.2 MB. ftp://dev.apple.com/devworld/Technical_Documentation/Rhapsody_Documentation/EOF2.1Machi386.tar Note, please don't confuse OPENSTEP Enterprise with Enterprise Objects.

Windows NT is using the > NTFS if that makes any difference (do I need to switch it to use the > FAT filesystem?) Here's what I did, Dave. I had an original hard drive running Win95. I bought a new 3.5 gig hard drive, installed it as the bus master, and moved the other hard drive to the secondary IDE bus. Moved the CD to the primary bus with the new hard drive as slave (OpenStep needs it there to install, and I just left it there). OK. Install OpenStep, creating a 1.5 gig OpenStep partition. Get it all up and running. Reinstall Win95, making the rest of the new drive a 1.5 gig FAT partition (C), and using the original hard disk as well (comes up as D). Install NT 4.0, which sets up a system picker on the FAT partition. Then overwrite the boot blocks on the C drive with the OpenStep booter, as per NextAnswers, to reinstall the OpenStep booter. Now, when I boot, I get the OpenStep booter. I can choose 'OpenStep', and away she goes. If I choose 'DOS' however, I go to the WinNT system selector, that lets me select Win95 or WinNT. I have it all set up to default to Win95 if I don't touch anything, so my wife can get to her stuff without any help from me. (To do this, set the FAT partition as the default partition in fdisk, and set Win95 as the default choice in the NT system selector.) I can get to whatever I want. Openstep can see both FAT partitions, as well as it's own partition, for easy file sharing. Anyway, complicated I guess, but that's how it works, and it's working very, very well for me.

It should also be possible to set up your local sendmail as a nullclient using 8.8.x --- simply point it at your ISP's mailhost and (supposing that your ISP has a reasonable e-mail system) all should just work. The advantage of the nullclient setup is that it's extremely simple and offloads all of the trick sendmail configuration problems onto the ISP. All it needs is a two line .mc file: OSTYPE(nextstep) FEATURE(nullclient, mailhost.your.isp) -- Certe, Toto, sentio nos in Kansate nin iam adesse.

I have a dual-boot (win95/NS3.3) Pentium PC. I added an Adaptec-2910B SCSI controller card to the PC, and the card seems to work fine in Win95 (e.g., if I attach my Black NeXT CD-ROM Drive to the SCSI card, a CD in it shows up in the Win95 explorer). However, I can't seem to get the card to work on the NS3.3 side. I did the following: - Connected to the SCSI card my Black NeXT CD-ROM Drive and a SCSI external hard drive that works fine on my Black hardware. - Used configure.app to add the Adaptec 2940 SCSI driver, saved settings and rebooted. Neither the CD in the CD-ROM Drive nor the external hard drive show up in the file browser. Questions: - Is there anything more to do than just add the SCSI driver thru' configure.app? - Should the Black NeXT CD-ROM Drive work on Intel/NS3.3? (it does with win95!) - Should the Black NeXT External SCSI Disk work on Intel/NS3.3? Are the disks under the two NeXT's formatted compatibly?

If using sendmail 8.8.5, there is a user database which maps local users to network users. It works quite well except one thing: The Return-Path field is always wrong. Actually, it is correct as long the mail is in the queue, but it seems that it is rewritten once the mail leaves my host. I don't have a clue, why this happens and what to do against it. Why I need a correct return-path ? Some automatic mailers (like w3mail) use this and not the From: or Reply-To fields.

In NS 3.3 and greater the Mail.app has a space for two "expert" header fields. Goto Mail.app -->Prferences -->Expert and put in: From My Real Name <myrealaddress@domain.ext> Note: put the 'From' in the left side (NO COLON!) and the rest on the right side (you'll see it). Make sure you select 'Set' when you are done (bottom right on the preferences panel). Depending on the Reply-To line is a bad idea because: 1) some ToyOSes can't/don't read it (like the windows machine I am on here) 2) many mailing lists change the Reply-To to the Group, and if someone wants to reply to you personally, they would not be able to. Note: upgrading to sendmail 8.8.5 would (I believe) allow all your mail to be addressed correctly without having to do this (ie you tell sendmail what your real email username is at your ISP). Otherwise the above solution is valid only for mail sent from Mail.app, not from PINE or commadnline. TjL

Hi Thomas, UNIX uses the UID value to identify a user. All access rights etc. are referring to the UID. The name "me" isn't important for the system. If you want a duplicate user of me, then just add one with /NextAdmin/UserManager.app and assign it a different name and the UID 20. It will then act like user me. You can also change the UID of me using UserManager. There shouldn't be two users with the same ID, though. So better add a second user with a different ID. BTW, why do you want to do this?

Otherwise you'll have to repartition your hard drive (if NT occupies all the space) and reinstall NT. Dual booting isn't specific to Win95, it just lets you switch between NS and a second (most commonly dos) partition. I guess you'll have at least a small dos partition for your NT boot loader. This one will then be activated. As you see, nothing special. BTW, NS 3.3 is not capable of reading NTFS partitions, you will therefore have to switch NT to FAT (I guess by reinstalling it ...) if you want to have access to the NT partition under NS. Perhaps this helps, Robert. ========================================================================== Robert Wunderer OneVision Vertriebs-GmbH Support Zeissstrasse 9 Email:robert@onevision.de 93053 Regensburg (NextMail,MIME welcome) Germany ==========================================================================

You have to change the disk label to 'swapdisk' or have a disk with a capacity less than something like 40Mb for this to work automatically --- otherwise, it attempts to build an OS disk on the machine. It's a bit slow, but overall, it works. On Intel hardware, the story is that there are significant problems getting the system to work correctly, due to bugs in BuildDisk.app. I've had no direct experience of trying to get an intel machine to netboot, and I think that's probably fortunate on my part.

I've had good success using BuildDisk in the past so that's my plan for my initial route (the destination disk is somewhat smaller than my main disk so I don't want to use ditto or some such.) The sensible thing to do would be to pull the disk out of the slab, attach it to the cube, and go from there. Here's the lunatic idea. Could I use the slab's disk "in place"? That is, connect the two SCSI ports together, make sure the disk IDs didn't match, boot the slab leaving it in the ROM monitor, and then boot the cube? The idea would be to keep the slab's controller quiet (the ROM monitor part) and just use the cabling. I don't think this should work but I wanted to see what others think. -- David Evans (NeXTMail/MIME OK) dfevans@bbcr.uwaterloo.ca Computer/Synth Junkie http://bbcr.uwaterloo.ca/~dfevans/ University of Waterloo "Default is the value selected by the composer Ontario, Canada overridden by your command." - Roland TR-707 Manual

Distribution: world Message-ID: <5rgsde$kr7@mochi.lava.net> Yesterday, I posted about problems with backing up a Cube file system using the OS/Mach gnutar (v1.11.2) and a DAT drive. I was using a shell script supplied with gnutar source. It invokes gnutar by "sh -c exec gnutar..." so I wasn't certain that the error messages were being printed as well as possible. Therefore, I ran the same gnutar command from a shell prompt: # gnutar -c --totals --multi-volume --one-file-system --block-size=20 --volno-file=1 -f /dev/nrst0 --listed=/usr/local/etc/tar-backup/temp.level-0 --label="Full backup of / on nextcube at `date`" -C / . zsh: 925 segmentation fault gnutar -c --totals --multi-volume --one-file-system --block-size=20 -f -C So it appears that gnutar is crashing as the backup nears completion :-( I have attempted to build the current gnutar version under OS/Mach 4.1, but even after apparently solving compilation problems, the executable fails almost all tests :-( So something isn't correct with the build environment, I suppose. At some point real soon now, licensing SafetyNet for only a few backups will become the most economical solution if I value my time at all. Anyone have a built, tested gnutar 1.12 for m68k?

No idea, but > 650M should obviously be enough.] This should work pretty well, but there are some little glitches. Upgrader.app expects to have read permissions on all of the files in the distribution. This isn't a problem when you mount a CD Rom via the Workspace, as it basically overrides all of the permissions written into the CD Rom. However, the files on the CD Rom do have exactly the same permissions as the equivalents once installed, including some like (eg) /usr/lib/uucp/uuxqt which has permissions ---s--s--- for security reasons. If you're attempting to upgrade from a copy of the CD Rom contents onto a hard drive, it will probably fall ove at the point where it tries to read a file without any explicit read permissions set. The solution is to mount the drive, and then change all the permissions to something more friendly: chmod -R ugo-s,ugo+r /OPENSTEP_4.2 Then run Upgrader.app --- don't worry: Upgrader.app has internal .bom's (bills of materials) which mean that it will put the correct permissions/ownership on all files.

Right. Now you have your simple network started, throw away SNS.app, and start using the power tools like NetInfoManager.app... Under NS 3.3 you have two choices for configuring your DNS: you can either do it the flat file way, by creating an /etc/resolv.conf file, which will have contents something like this: domain somewhere.com nameserver 111.111.111.111 nameserver 222.222.222.222 nameserver 333.333.333.333 where you make the obvious edits top substitute values that are correct for your site. Nb. you can have from one to three "nameserver" lines --- the second and third are backups in case the usual DNS server from the first "nameserver" line goes down. See the resolver(5) man page[*]. From NS 3.3 on, you can now specify all this configuration in netinfo --- which means that you only have to configure it once, and all the machines in your netinfo domain will pick it up. It's too tedious to describe exactly what to click and what to type where to set it up via NetInfoManager.app, but you can use this command line snippet to achieve the effect you desire: niload -p -r /locations/resolver / <<FOO name = resolver; domain = somewhere.com; nameserver = (111.111.111.111, 222.222.222.222, 333.333.333.333); FOO > I tried putting in a manual entry into /etc/hosts which didn't > help. What extra files do I need to edit ? Or can it all be done > through the SNS.app ? etc/hosts is never referenced under NS 3.3 unless something is seriously wrong with your machine. The hosts database has to be loaded into netinfo: niload -p hosts / < /etc/hosts However, as a general rule you shouldn't load any data from /etc/hosts like this unless: a) it's not in the DNS b) it's one of your netinfo client machines c) it's a machine that you NFS mount directories from --- otherwise a network problem somewhere else which stops you seeing the DNS can prevent your machine booting correctly. Matthew [*] If you're not familiar with this unixism, it means "the resolver man page in section five of the manual", ie. type: man 5 resolver If you just type 'man resolver' you'll get the page from section 3, the C-programming interface. -- Certe, Toto, sentio nos in Kansate nin iam adesse.

If you really mean 'Adaptec-29*1*0B' rather than 'Adaptec-29*4*0B' then I guess you are out of luck getting your card to work with NS 3.3, as there isn't a driver for that SCSI controller. However, if, as I suspect, having never heard of an Adaptec-2910 card myself, that was just a typo, and you really do have a 2940 card then it should be possible to make it work under NS 3.3 > - Used configure.app to add the Adaptec 2940 SCSI driver, saved settings > and rebooted.

A problem I've seen with adaptec controllers, and posted about before, is that the PCI ID number for recent revisions of the 2940 card isn't recognised by the NS 3.3 driver. Unless you can fix that, there isn't a hope of getting the driver to work.

Simple... First thing is to realise that you need sendmail to send the messages and a POP3 client, like PopOver.app to receive the mail. PopOver is a freebie which you can download from the Next archives, eg: ftp://next-ftp.peak.org/pub/next/apps/mail/PopOver.v1.5.NIHS.bd.tar.gz It's pretty obvious how to install and configure it. Setting up sendmail is a touch more challenging, but not much. There are two ways to do it which you might consider: i) Use the supplied (old, tired, unsecure) v5.67 sendmail supplied with Next/OpenStep. -or- ii) Grab the latest greatest sendmail precompiled for Next from the archives: ftp://next-ftp.peak.org/pub/next/apps/mail/sendmail.8.8.5.NIHS.bd.tar.gz ftp://next-ftp.peak.org/pub/next/apps/mail/sendmail.8.8.5.INSTALLATIONINSTRUCTIONS.tar.gz (well, actually the latest sendmail version is currently sendmail.8.8.6, but 8.8.5 is close enough for government work.) The trick with either of these is to set them up so as to offload as much of the mail processing work onto the ISP as possible. YMMV, but I should think the best solution is: i) to use the 'sendmail.subsidiary.cf' configuration with the NeXT sendmail, and set the mailhost to be your ISP's SMTP gateway machine by configuring the locations/sendmail directory in netinfo. ii) install v8 sendmail and set your machine up as a 'nullclient' with the mailhost set to your ISP's SMTP gateway. Either of these configs should relay all of the outgoing mail through your ISP's central mail machine, and that should be capable of rewriting a great deal of the headers so that everything works OK.

Hi, Nice to meet you. It's very simple. To enable DNS, the only step required is to create a file called /etc/resolv.conf. This file has the following format: domain <your internet domain name> nameserver <internet address of a DNS server(inquire about available DNS servers when you register your internet address)> That's all. I want to these comment help you. Bye... -Lee Byeong-ho Yuhan C&T, Seoul, Korea

If your machine is it's own netinfo master, and has all the data it needs to boot locally, then it should boot OK whether attached to a network or not. Formerly networked machines hang when they try to access network services which aren't there: primarily netinfo and NFS. Most other things seem to realise the network isn't there and give up quietly. > 2. I was fiddling with PPP and having installed it I don't need > it any more.

A lot of the tests done by GNU configure scripts just look for the presence of posix header files and infer from that that certain functions or data structures are available without testing by doing a small comilation. The correct fix is to delve into the innards of the autoconf system and produce a configure.in file which results in a working configure script. However, if you need a fix now, just edit the 'config.h' header file that gets produced. You want to use the BSD version of wait(), as described in the wait(2) man page, while configure thinks you have the posix version of wait as described in the wait(2P) man page. The difference is in the type of the argument supplied to the function: the BSD version has a pointer to a 'union wait', whilst the POSIX version just supplies a pointer to an int. If you look at the config.h file there should be a macro 'HAVE_UNION_WAIT' --- you simply need to edit the file so that macro is defined, and then recompile.

So, anyway, this machine appears to be setup correctly, as the netinfo server, and is set to autoconfigure other machines. Unfortunately, I have a NeXT slab that *was* a netinfo client to the above machine, which I also turned into a standalone machine... now I can't get it to go back :( I've used hostmanager to tell it to attach to "Bind to network Netinfo server", I've set everything to "AUTOCONFIGURE", but only get a "Can't find network configuration server" message when starting up. I am not at all familiar w/ NetInfo, so I'm just muddling along, and I seem to have muddled myself into a corner. If anyone can offer any advice on what to try next, I'd be most grateful. (Also, they're both plugged into the same hub, so there isn't anything stange network-wise going on). EMail appreciated, Thanks, John jray@bigmac.ag.ohio-state.edu

I had similar problems with a Quantum Atlas 2.1 GB. The drive would format correctly and I could install NEXTSTEP 3.3, but as soon as I connected my usual array of SCSI devices and rebooted, the drive would lose data on a few cylinders. These lost data areas could not be recovered without a re-format, which was quite unfortunate. I went through this cycle several times to make sure that I was not doing something wrong. According to a local engineer who tests many SCSI drives, the current line of Seagate drives is so heavily optimized for speed - using hard-wired logic instead of a microprocessor with firmware - that they often develop problems when the SCSI bus timing is not perfect. If you are using a Seagate drive under conditions that it was optimized for, then apparently they scream. But my system was not successful. I never had problems before with my cables or SCSI devices, so I switched to a Seagate Barracuda 4.2 GB. I have seen no such problems. My suggestion: sell the Quantum to a Mac owner whose system the drive was optimized for, and then purchase a replacement drive from any other major SCSI drive manufacturer. -- Brian Willoughby NEXTSTEP, OpenStep, Rhapsody Software Design Sound Consulting Apple Enterprise Alliance Partner NeXTmail welcome

Your slab is asking on the network for someone to tell it what IP number to use, but nothing is answering. This isn't actually a netinfo binding problem --- you get to that a bit later --- but a problem with the BOOTP service that netinfo servers also usually supply. Check that in the /etc/hostconfig file on your netinfo machine, the NETMASTER variable is set to -YES-: that will cause the server to run the daemons that let it serve BOOTP requests. Edit the /etc/hostconfig file if necessary --- you'll need to reboot the server to enable the BOOTP servers if you do edit the file. The data the server requires is stored in netinfo: essentially it has a record of the ethernet MAC address built into the network hardware of your machine --- that's a number which looks like 0:0:f:1:25:f7 or 00:00:0f:01:25:f7 --- you can find what your own machines' MAC address is by grepping in /usr/adm/messages: grep Ether /usr/adm/messages You need to use HostManager.app to enter that number in the netinfo entry for your slab: click on the Host:Open... menu item, then type '/' into the Domain field, hit tab and then select the hostname of your slab from the list below. If the hostname isn't listed then hit cancel, and then the Host:New menu item. Whichever way you do it, you should end up with a panel where you can enter a hostname, IP address , Ethernet address (this is the MAC address I was talking about earlier) and so forth. Fill in the fields, hit Host:Save and then try rebooting your slab and see if it binds to netinfo successfully. Matthew [Posted and Mailed] -- Certe, Toto, sentio nos in Kansate nin iam adesse.

I can disable boot from floppy drive or any other device in the BIOS Setup. I can set a BIOS password, so nobody can change the Setup. But I can't disable the Nextstep boot: prompt. What is all this Unix "security" about, when everybody can get into singleuser mode ? What do I miss ? Marc
