NFS SCo 5.0.5 with SCO 6.0.0Hi everybody,
I have a folder on SCO 5.0.5 server shared through NFS with a new SCO 6.0.0
with MP2 server (converted from a SCO 5.0.6 version).
Before conversion file locks (over network) on this folder works well (eg
from server SCO 5.0.6 I was able to see locks generated from SCO 5.0.5 box
and viceversa), now with SCO 6.0.0 does not work !
I see that on SCO 6.0.0 the lockd daemon is active .. so it should work ...
Please can you help me ?
Thanks

Looking for precompiled 'rsync" for SCO 5.0.5, 5.0.6 and 5.0.7I was recommended to use 'rsync' for multi-site transfers. But I have
come to find that "rsync" does not exist already in OpenServer 5.0.5,
5.0.6 and 5.0.7. You can only get the "source" files which you "must"
compile in order to create the "rsync." These seems to require that
you compile these on every level of OpenServer you need.
Where / how can I get the 'rsync' binaries already compiled for the
levels I need?

Get a binary for OSR 5.0.7, and with oss646c, it should run on 5.0.4,
5.0.5, and 5.0.6. Binary afavilable on Brian White's page at

Printing on a DP-301P Print server SCO Unix OSR 5.0.7How do a setup a printer that is on my local network with IP 192.168.2.17 ?
The Unix server is on 192.168.2.7 on the same network.
I tried "scoadmin" looking for something like "add tcp/ip printer" but no
luck at all. So I'm thinking that I have to create a new port (i.e.
/dev/lp192.168.2.17) so then I can assign a printer to it right ?
Any help would be greatly appreciate it.
Thanks

FAXing from SCO Unix 5.0.6I'm supporting a SCO Unix 5.0.6 machine. I don't want to spend $1700 on
a "fax server solution". Instead, I'm looking for a fax modem for which
there are drivers for SCO or generic enough for Unix in general. I also
need "fax software" to enable the whole endeavor.
All I'm attempting is what is done quite readily in Windows: print to a
psuedo-driver which, in turn, invokes the fax s/w that solicits the
phone number to fax to and any other required info. I don't need all
kinds of fancy options like choices for cover pages, etc. The
application used by my client is strictly text-based - no GUI.
Any advice for public-domain - or inexpensive - software to accomplish
this is much appreciated.
Regards,
David

SCO Unix 5.0.6, errorsHi,
I am getting the error(s);
HTFS: Inode 11915 on HTFS dev hd (1/43) has bad type 000000000000
HTFS: I/O failure occured accessing logical block 477364230 on HTFS dev
hd (1/43)
and then the system shuts down.
Is there any way to fix these? We have done the command 'unix auto' at
the Boot: prompt and it goes through its file system checks and appears
to correct some problems. We have had some corruption on the database
but were able to fix the problems.
Our next plan of action is to clone the drive, but if anyone has any
other suggestions for a way to fix this issue I would appreciate it.
Lori Calkins
It would help if you'd provided disk information, such as how many
partitions. I'm guessing from what you provided that the problem is on
the root partition. By default 5.0.6 doesn't check the root file
system on an auto boot. What you're seeing is the file system checks
on the rest of the partitions.
When you get the Boot: prompt just press enter. Eventually you'll be
prompted for the root password to enter maintenance mode. Do that.
Then type
fsck /

This probaby won't help you but just incase others want to use it I have
installed OpenServer 5.0.6, 5.0.7 and 6.0 on an Intel MacBook Pro with
VMWare's new Fusion (beta) product for the Mac right out of the box
without any BTLDs.
This really helps as I can take a single laptop around with me now.
Only one draw back is that it only works in single CPU mode, installing
SMP causes VMWare to crash but I'm sure that will be fixed in the final
build.

Samba 3.0.20 on SCO 5.0.7 with MP4I want to be able to join the SCO server running 5.0.7 with MP4 and
samba 3.0.20 to an NT domain.
The problem I have is that the samba net command is not part of the
install.
I have searched all the filesystems and have not been able to find the
samba net program,
Has anyone used 3.0.20 to join an NT domain?
If so did you use the net command as per the samba guide?
If not then how did you do it without the samba net program.

Found the relevant program. Its called smbnet on SCO.
Still cannot join a an ADS domain. It looks like the this version of
samba has been compiled without ADS support.
Does anyone now if this is correct?
Has anyone used this version of samba on OSR507 to join an ADS domain?

SCO 5.0.7 qnd Stp-0 reset starting a backup.Had a client ask me about this the other day and I was going to do some
research on their system but not sure where to look. They just want to
make sure it's not a critical error. I think the tape drive just reset but
then I have to ask why and so was also wondering where on the system might
I find a log and is there one that might have more info. Is this a normal
type thing. Here is their explanation and take note I think he misread
Stp-0 and got Stop-0 which is also why he mentions "stop" later. Thanks
for any insight.
bk
---------------
Had a message pop up right after initiating backup the other night....
% Stop-0 - - vnd=HP Prd=ULTRIUM 1-SCSI REV=N26D
I know that has to do with the backup drive and I guess the "stop" part
means there was a fault with the drive somehow. I noticed that the backup
screen (the black box with the dots that run down the screen as data is
written to the tape) initially came up and the dots started running, but on
the first page that error (blue box) popped up and the stream of dots
stopped for about a minute. Then they started back like normal and there
was activity on the drive. I closed the error and backup seemed to run OK.
I just checked the mailbox thinking that the error would have generated a
detail report, but there was nothing there.
I wondered if there was a way to run a diagnostic on that tape drive to see
if there are any issues with it? If it's an isolated thing, no biggie, but

Martin,
I don't speak Spanish and most members of this forum probably do not.
My understanding is that you're trying to install Apache. What is your
operating system version? Type and enter:
uname -X
Report back with the line labeled Release =3D.
You probably need to install other patches or modules before installing
Apache, but selecting the correct modules depends upon the version.

In spite of the legal circus engulfing The SCO Group--and lingering concerns
about the Unix company's future--top executives took the opportunity at the
company's annual partner conference in Las Vegas to outline SCO's new
Internet and Web services offerings and assert its intent to stay in
business.
At SCO Forum 2003, SCO announced the delivery of key component of its SCOx
Web services initiative--SCOx WebFace Solution Suite 4.0--as well as the
SCOsms Web Services API and SCObiz Web Services APIs.
The company's SCOx direction and Web services API plans were unveiled last
April.
The enhanced suite and new APIs, designed to enable partners and customers
to migrate legacy Unix applications to a services-oriented architecture,
consists of the WebFace Browser Application Platform and WebFace Studio

SCO 5.0.5/5.0.6 bios clock, time zone and synchingHi All,
Does SCO expect the BIOS clock to be set to UTC?
Ive got a few SCO boxen spread across a couple of time zones and at
the moment, the bios clocks in the servers are set to localtime not
UTC.
The timezone settings in SCO Admin are also wrong.
I was under the impression *nix always expects the BIOS clock to be
set to UTC and then the timezone settings in SCO tell the OS what the
local time is.
This does not seem to be the case for me.
On a testing box, Ive set the BIOS clock to UTC, set the correct
timezone in scoadmin but the date command in a root shell still gives
the wrong time.

SCO OpenServe 6.0.0 Filesystem MUCH Faster Than 5.0.6The speed of the SCO OpenServer 6.0.0 filesystem is quite
noticeably faster than I enjoyed on OpenServer 5.0.6.
How do I know? I donno, but it feels and seems so.
I didn't expect this, so I didn't make these tests while
still on 5.0.6, but I KNOW I have a lot more files and
directories on 6.0.0 than I did on 5.0.6.
The Verify of my Last Master Backup shows what is on my systen:
255191 files were encountered
167 files were excluded
9 files were not checked because the hard disk file
had been modified by a program since it was backed up
2 files were not checked for various reasons
28870 special files (links, directories, devices, etc.)
226143 files verified successfully
Master Backups using LONE-TAR(tm) to DVD+RW media ran at about
70-75 MB/min on OSR 5.0.6 but run at 175+ MB/min on 6.0.0, and
if I turn off compression run at 260+ MB/min.
To see how long it takes to search for a non-existant file:
[trebor] ~: time find . -name XPMNYTRE
real 0m58.59s
user 0m1.72s
sys 0m10.96s
And to see how many directories had to be read:

I also need it to test its compatibility with my specific hardware.

I have decided to try to disturb you by my question.
I have an Oracle 7.2.2.4 running on SCO Unix 3.2v4.2,SCO Unix
3.2v5.0.5.
We tried to begin to work via SQL*Net2, SQL*Net1 currently in use and
will stay on.
But when Oracle session has been established, it breaks in some
seconds with
ORA 03113 Error "end of file on communication channel". It notices,
that this is
preceded with switching of port in status FIN_WAIT2 on a server side.
We've observed it on all servers, irrespective of operating system,

centered.

I don't think you are going to get a useful answer.
Let's assume that I could authoritatively say that 5.0.6 has
performance related improvements over .4 in certain areas. I can't
recall if it does or doesn't, but the release notes would surely
mention any.
But so what? What does that say about YOUR application? Do we know
where its performance issuees are now? Nope. We could assume it's
probably disk bound, because that's a pretty safe assumption most any
time, but even if true, what have you done for better or worse in that
regard already? Maybe this is an Oracle database and you have it
running on a RAID 5 system. As that's usually going to be a bad idea,
you could gain nothing even if 5.0.6 did otherwise provide features
that would otherwise improve your lot. Maybe you have the whole thing
improperly tuned. Maybe you have it so perfectly tuned that an upgrade
would make it worse because everything is so critically balanced to
what you have now..
There are plenty of good reasons to upgrade to 5.0.6/7. If that's what
you are lookimg for (a reason to sell the idea to ...
/var/opt/K/SCO/Unix/5.0.4Eb/usr/adm/syslog missingI just found that my /var/opt/K/SCO/Unix/5.0.4Eb/usr/adm/syslog
file has been missing with no reasons. I maybe because of that I have
some errors in HDD. How do I check if the log daemon is running
correctly?
Thanks,

If your getting HD errors, then it is not because of the missing 'syslog'
file. It's more likely the missing file is the 'result of' the HD errors.
That file simply acts as a receptacle for vaious system messages. You can
try re-creating it with - ' > syslog' from within it's home directory, then
try re-booting. You must be logged in as root to do this.
I would certainly make sure I have a good, verified backup of everything
that's important before doing anything. If you have HDD errors, things can
go from bad to worse, and you certainly want to be able to recover.
Good luck.
Thanks, I will have to make a backup soon.
It's got superblock and inode errors. The screen runs all the time
with those messages.
