I have a question which I wish to submit to the list. Using a SUN4, why is it that dlopen will not allow two shared objects with common routines to be opened at the same time? It only allows one to be open regardless of the order in which you try. I get an error message every time and am making the assumption that it should allow one to do this, however perhaps I am wrong? Please let me know! Thank you very much, Zeyneb Pervane PERVANE@BBN.COM - ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 17 Jan 1996 10:02:51 +0800 From: Chen Huirong Subject: No Subject To: Suns-at-Home@tigger.net-kitchen.com Hi! Does anyone know how to get a user account of login time (i.e. elapse time) in a workstation running SVR4 ( e.g. Silicon Graphics), just like SunOS's /usr/etc/ac -p ( Maybe that kind of account system is used in Sun Solaris 2.x also, but I dont have Solaris 2.x.) It seems that SVR4 accounting system is more complex than BSD, I can not make clear how it works. I don't like the process accounting ,because it it is time consuming and uses too much disk space. All I want to get is to get total login time of each user. Could any one help me ? Please e-mail the script for the accounting to me. Thanks in advance. chr@info.dau.tsinghua.edu.cn - ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 8 Jan 1996 11:50:06 -0800 From: Samir Kumar Subject: SLIP client for SunOS 4.1.3 To: Suns-at-Home@tigger.net-kitchen.com Hi , I am looking for a SLIP client for a Sun IPX running SunOS 4.1.3 freeware /shareware.

There is an excellent archive at cxc1.msu.edu:/386i/software A mailing list is alive and kicking, as are many a good RoadRunner.

I've tried to find out what's the problem and couldn't find it. I too have various comm-programs running without problems, but Minicom won't work. There's some bug in it, but I couldn't find it.

My problem is that getting popular software from the net > to compile on these dustbunnies is very difficult. It should be rather straigt-forward to compile gcc v2.6.3 with the supplied CC compiler. Since the Sun compiler is really odd you'd better use gcc for compiling other packages. Getting Sun-3's up and running (which is really fun, since they're great machines, esp. the m68k's) will allways involve compiling many sources yourself. Since SunOS is a very-well supported environment it shouldn't be too much of a problem. If you encounter any specific problems compiling gcc, please send questions by e-mail.

There are no problems using a Sun 3/60 with 19200 baud over a 14k4 modem. 38400 also works but is not usefull for a 14k4 modem. I'm using 19200 extensively with uucp, slip, Z-Modem and tip and even when the system load is over 20 for some time there are no dropped packets and such, only a slightly reduced throughput.

The FIFO has three bytes and there are various patches for the SunOS zs drivers and tip. The versions I use have no problems and I could mail them if you would like me to. I don't know exactly which patches have been applied to my system since I never re-installed SunOS myself. >For some Sun models, it's possible to replace the SIO chips with newer >pin-compatible devices that have larger FIFOs A similar statement surfaced at the NetBSD/sun3 mailing list sometime ago, but I saw no definite statement as which chips could be used to upgrade the default Zilog 8530 chip. If I can help anybody to get more out of their Sun-3, just send a mail to geert@sun3.iaf.nl Greetings Geert - ------------------------------ End of Suns-at-Home Digest ******************************
