Activating Ports


Good evening,

Our administrative application requires access to port 22000.  In our
LIVE environment, connectivity to this port works.  In our TEST area,
we are attempting to use port 22020.  However, the administrative
application cannot connect to it.

Our software vendor indicates that it is a firewall issue.  Yet, they
are testing by:

  telnet XXX.XXX.X.XX 22020

which results in an error message:

	Unable to connect to remote host:  Connection refused

Is port 22020 an undefined port?  Should I be using another one?
Port 22000 is a TCP connection.

Any suggestions?

SUMMARY: Locating HSZ UNIT from OS info

Thank to all, especially John Lainer and Damian Blows
who provided:

In V4 I believe that for the purpose of trying to
translate the os disk device to the HSZ unit, the bus
number can be ignored when looking at the scu output.

The target & lun numbers are the important things for
this purpose (both in the range of 0-7).

If scu shows the following bus, target, LUN -

        B    T    L            
        3    0    1            
        3    1    6            
        3    3    2            

On the HSZ, I would expect to see units numbered 1,
106 & 302.

        HSZ Unit 1             OS Disk rzb24
        HSZ Unit 106         OS Disk rzg25
        HSZ Unit 302         OS Disk rzc27

Thank :)

SUMMARY: Non-root users cannot do things like su, ps, crontab -l

Problem:

Non-root users cannot do various things. This includes things like "ps aux" 
(it just returns the top header line containing column descriptions), 
"crontab -l" (says it can't open their crontab file) or "su" (just goes back 
to the shell prompt -- no errors. yes, the login account has been added to 
the system group).

Solution:

The overwhelming consensus from the many responses I received was that the 
SUID bit had been removed. This indeed turned out to be the case! The weird 
thing is it didn't seem to have been done globally (either on the entire 
system or directory), so I'm definitely stumped as to how this happened. 
Nevertheless, setting the SUID bit on ps, su, and crontab most definitely 
corrected the problem.

A few additional items which may help someone someday:

The fverify utility was mentioned by many people to identify problems. This 
looks very nice but it appears to work subset by subset. I was hoping there 
would be something more global - running fverify on every installed subset 
seems like a lot of work, especially since the few subsets I tried were 
producing a load of messages/information.

Ken Kleiner suggested looking at a download and install and run 
'checkrootkit' from www.chkrootkit.org. I did try downloading and building 
this but I got many errors trying to build it under Tru64 Unix V5.1 with the 
gcc compiler. The README says it's supported on T64, but it didn't work so 
well for me.

sendmail conf.

Is there a way to enable just one form of mail address
in sendmail, e.g.
firstname.lastname <at> something.net ('firstname' and
'lastname' are from passwd file,
with matchGECOS=true configured in sendmail conf. )
and to disbale form
login <at> something.net where 'login' is the users login
for that server ?

SUMMARY: Tru64 4.0F, DE602 and RIS

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Please read the disclaimer at the bottom of this e-mail.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Hi All,

The RIS problems I was having are now resolved.  The original post being:

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Hi All,

I am attempting to build a Tru64 Unix 4.0F ES40 over the network using RIS (Remote Installation Service). 
The system has some DE602 cards installed and it is over this adapter that I am attempting to build the system.

I can get the initial Kernel image to load over bootp/tftp but it seems then to complain about the DE602 NIC
and then fails to continue with the build over the network.  I assume that the kernel image it has loaded
loading does not support these cards and therefore cannot continue to build the system.

Can someone please confirm and also provide any workarounds if possible.

Your assistance will be appreciated and a summary will follow.

Regards,

Zoran.

Printing Issue...


Dear Printing Experts,

We connected an Epson LQ-680 dot-matrix printer to the parallel port of
Host1 (DS10, Tru64 v5.1) and created a printer using "lprsetup". We tried to
execute a java script (see below) and used the command "java
TestBankPrinting" under Unix to print its output. The output on the printer
should be the string "89658958". However, the printer prints some long
driver text titled "!PS - Adobe" etc.etc. 

It may be noted that when we run the same script from a Windows client and
send the output to a network laser printer, the correct string is printed.

When setting up the printer driver under Unix,  we tried using a few printer
types including "unknown", "ep1050+", "fx80" "PS level 1" "PS level 2", etc.
but none of these achieved the targeted output.

The question now is: Which printer type should I select for my Epson LQ-680
to print the Java script output? You may also note that the printer prints
normal files (e.g. /etc/hosts) without any problems, even when we select
"unknown" as printer type.

We would appreciate a feedback from the Print whizkids. Thanks in advance.
============================================================================
===================
THE JAVA SCRIPT IS AS FOLLOWS:

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.font.*;
import java.awt.geom.*;

SUMMARY: Licensing and OpenGL questions

Belated, but in case anyone was curious:

HP support basically says that the PowerStorm was a better card than the Radeon that "replaced" it. 
According to the tech, the Radeon is an "affordable" 3D graphics card.  I guess "affordable" and "lousy"
are equivalent in HP-speak.  They claimed that the PCI Radeon we were using would perform better if we got an
AGP version; our machine (a Microway UP2000+ Number Smasher) doesn't have any AGP slots so I can't verify that.

We think we've narrowed the problem down to calls to glCopyPixels; replacing that call in a demo app with
glXSwapBuffers makes the performance much much better.  Of course, the app we're having problems with
isn't one in which the switch would be easy.

HP's suggestion was to continue acquiring refurb'ed PowerStorm 300s through Island Computing, or to
rewrite our app.

:(

-----Original Message-----
Gurus - 

In a system here with a Radeon 7500 (3X-PBXGG-AA) card, purchased through a third-party, said came with an
Open3d license, Model # QL-0AFAE-AA.  I noticed in the docs for the Radeon that it calls for a license,
QL-6ZRA9-AA, to use this card.  So, my first question is whether these licenses are equivalent, if we need
to use both, or can only use the QL-6ZRA9-AA license.

I ask because we have an OpenGL app that worked fine on older PowerStorm cards (i.e. 350s, 300s) that now
appears to chew CPU (60% of 833mHz) when using the Radeon.  Replacing the Radeon with a Powerstorm350
brings CPU usage down to ~.5% and graphics redraws are much smoother.  So, not sure if it's a hardware

weekly system slowdown

I have a 2 member tru64 5.1A pk 4 cluster connected to an external HSG80
raid controller.  For the last several weeks, every wednesday afternoon my
users complain of poor system response.  They are running experiments
which require a timely response in writing files over the network.  A
couple of weeks back it was so bad they really couldn't work.  At that
time, after much checking into the system, I was able to determine that
there was a huge file stuck in the mail queue that the mail system kept
delivering continually to the recipients AND the samba service was under
some kind of denial of service attack (2.2.8a).  At that time, the
server's load averages were 30-50.  After purging the mail and stopping
the samba service and replacing with 2.2.11, the load average went way
down to 0 - 2.  However, I am still getting complaints that while the
response is much better, it still is occasionally slow and particularly
things seem to become much slower every Wednesday afternoon.  I've looked
into cron files and there's nothing that starts Wednesday at noon /
afternoon nor do I see much of anything in the process tables except for
many [icssvr_daemon_fr] and [icssvr_daemon_pe] processes.

Today I killed samba, killed mail service, killed web service and that
seem to be of no avail to the users running experiments.  They are running
on client machines, writing over NFS to the server.  Their home
directories mount from the server.  I'm at a loss to figure out what's
going on.  Anyone have any idea what might be causing these problems ?

Thanks,
Dirk
