In order to get HP-UX OS patches, you must be on HP software support.
You can get them by calling the Response Center, or by using the "hpsl"
tool on support.mayfield.hp.com. It will allow you to FTP patches.
As of 10/6/92, the following patches are available on 192.6.148.19 or
support.mayfield.hp.com:

PHCO_0505 PHCO_0538 PHSS_0560 PHNE_0734 PHKL_0743 PHSS_0779 PHSS_0780
PHSS_0784 PHSS_0788 PHNE_0818 PHNE_0899 PHKL_0901 PHKL_0902 PHNE_0936
PHNE_0985 PHNE_1009 PHNE_1010 PHKL_1011 PHKL_1065 PHNE_1070 PHKL_1102
PHCO_1131 PHSS_1183 PHKL_1193 PHSS_1305 PHNE_1330 PHNE_1360 PHCO_1423

An HP-UX patch mailing list exists. Information is traded between
the members about patches of interest. Note that patches themselves
are not to be e-mailed, and there is no FTP archive of patches. To
join the mailing list, send mail to:

    [e-mail]

including your email address. Not all mailers generate proper return
addresses.

[ Thanks to Bart Muyzer ([e-mail]) for running the mailing list ]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
12) How can I send mail to an "hpdesk" address?

For a person whose DESK address is:
  JANE DOE /HP1234/XY

Ignore the subentity (XY) and use the form:
  [e-mail]

Send them a test message and tell them to make a note of the return address,
as forming internet addresses on DESK is a little more complicated.  If
there is an X.400 system between you and the DESK person, what you get back
may look like a very strange internet address, but it generally works.

Subject:  UTILITIES
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1)  ASCII to Postscript converter.

You can get an ASCII to Postscript converter from ftp.uu.net in the file
/usenet/comp.sources.misc/volume10/a2ps3.Z.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2) How do I make perl on HP-UX?

   Reply like this to Configure:

   1. When it asks for optimization flags answer
        +O1 if you have HP-UX 7.05 or less
        -O  if you have HP-UX 8.0 or later.
   2. When it asks for additional flags to cc answer
        -DJMPCLOBBER
   3. When it asks for additional libraries answer
    -lndbm -lm    (ignore the other libraries Configure finds).
      You can also safely add -lBSD if you wan't BSD signal semantics.
   4. When it asks if you wan't to use perl's malloc answer
    y
      If you have HP-UX 8.07 or later you may choose to answer no to this since
      that malloc is OK.
   5. When perl asks on which boundarie a double must be aligned answer
    8    if you are on a 9000/800 or 9000/700 series machine (HP-PA
         architecture).
    2    otherwise (Motorola 68k architecture)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3)  What is the status of the various gnu items on HP-UX?

Here's a summary for HP-UX 8.07:

All of the results are based on compilation with GCC 2.3.1 and not on the
use of the HP C compiler. A section is included in the list for
applications that did not compile with GCC but did with HP C.

The last part of the listing contains the applications I can't get to
compile. If you got them to compile with GCC 2.3.1 and can send
me fixes, I'll include them in this list.

Note: To compile GCC 2.3.1 with debugging support, you must have the
      UTAH GAS 1.36 version from jaguar.cs.utah.edu: pa-gas.u3.tar.Z.

GNU products that compile fine:
------------------------------
bison-1.19
cpio-2.1

Subject:  X WINDOW SYSTEM, OSF/MOTIF, AND HP-VUE
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1)  X11R4 Libraries (Athena, etc.) and utilities (imake, etc.).

There is a HP maintained, but UNSUPPORTED, set of X11R4 libraries and utilities
for the HP 9000 Series 300, 400, 700, and 800.  You can get the libraries,
include files, and config files (imake) via anonymous FTP from
hpcvaaz.cv.hp.com (15.255.72.15) in the directory pub/MitX11R4/libs.s*00.tar.Z.
This is also archived on the iworks node as mentioned above. HP has
also submitted X11R5 sources to the iworks node as mentioned above.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2)  How can I display an image on the root window with HP-VUE?

Set Vuewm*backdrop*image:   none. Note that there is an explicit
pick for this in the Style Manager with HP-VUE 3.0. When the backdrop
is clear, you can use xloadimage, xsetroot, xv, or the like to display
the image of your choice.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3) How do I get a scroll bar on hpterms?

Set the following resources:

HPterm*scrollBar:    TRUE
HPterm*saveLines:    1024

or some other other arbitrarily large number.  To do this interactively, use
"hpterm -sb -sl 1024".
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4) How can I put a title in my hpterm titlebar?

Here is a two line program that you might find useful:

/* Quick and dirty program to put argv[1] in the title bar of an hpterm
   Tom Arons March 1992
*/
#include <string.h>
main(argc,argv)
        int argc; char **argv;
{
        printf("\033&f0k%dD%s", strlen(argv[1]), argv[1]);
        printf("\033&f-1k%dD%s", strlen(argv[1]), argv[1]);
}

[ Thanks to Tom Arons ([e-mail]) for this item. ]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5) How come my hpterms keep going away by themselves?

You are probably using the C Shell (/bin/csh) and have autologout set (it is
set to 60 minutes by default).  Put an "unset autologout" in your ".cshrc".

If you are using the korn shell it is probably due to the value set for
the shell variable TMOUT.  Set it to 0 (infinite timeout).

[ Thanks to Jim Sharpe ([e-mail]) for the Korn Shell information. ]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6) How come my HP X/Motif clients take a LONG time to display on a Sun?

The problem is with the OW3 server.  You can request OW3 patch 100444
(or whatever is the current replacement) from Sun to fix the problem.
Supposedly this has been rolled into OW 3.0.1. A workaround is to
set the X resource *useColorObj: False.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Subject:  OPERATING SYSTEM
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1)  Can I have filenames longer than 14 chars?

Yes, change to long filenames using /etc/convertfs. You can't
go back, though.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2) How can I tell what filesets have been loaded on my system?

Check the /etc/filesets directory. There is a file there for each fileset that
has been loaded that summarizes the files in that fileset.  This directory is
used by the /etc/update, /etc/updist, /etc/netdistd, and /etc/rmfn utilities
for loading and unloading software.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3) How do I safely remove software from my system?

The _only_ safe way to remove HP software is to use /etc/rmfn.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4) What's the scoop on HP-UX 9.0?

5) How come HP-UX doesn't support NFS root access?

HP-UX versions previous to 9.0 do not support NFS root access to mounted
file systems. This because they are at an old revision of NFS. You *can* hack
your kernel to provide it, but it's dangerous, unsupported, and a security
hole. 9.0 supports full NFS 4.1 functionality, including NFS root.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6) Can I get HP-UX to try DNS ahead of NIS?

This is the "standard" answer given from the Response Center:

     If there is only one IP address in resolv.conf and
        if the address is the local node's IP add., then NIS or /etc/hosts
                is used because the IP is reachable and named is not running.
        if the address is the name server's IP add.,
                if the address is reachable but named is not running, then
                        NIS or /etc/hosts is used (the same reason)
                if the address is not reachable (eg the node is down) then
                        at 7.0 NIS or /etc/hosts is used;
                        at 8.0 resolution fails.

If there are more than one IP address in resolv.conf, no NIS or /etc/hosts
fallback will be used after all addresses are tried and failed.

In other word, if they only configure one IP address in resolv.conf and are
running 7.0, they should be ok.

As for additional configuration ... the answer is NO, you can't get it
to try NIS before DNS etc ...

7) How come the LOGnnnn files in /usr/adm keep growing and growing?

The LOGnnnn files in /usr/adm (8.x except 8.02) or /usr/adm/diag (8.02
and 9.0) are the diagnostic event log files.  Kernel drivers send data
to the diagnostic system when certain events, usually hw/sw problems,
occur.  The diagnostic daemons (DIAGMON, DEMLOG, MEMLOGP, DIAGINIT) log
the data to these files.  There is also a MEMLOG file in the same
directories to which MEMLOGP logs memory errors.  HP Support uses the
logged data to diagnose problems and to predict hardware failure.

If the LOGnnnn files are growing (other than creating a new 40 byte file
each time the system reboots) then something is wrong with the system.
Often what is wrong is that the diagnostics system was improperly
installed.  Check that the following files exist for each node:

    /etc/mknod /dev/config c 69 0x000000
    /etc/mknod /dev/dmem   c 27 0x000000

There are a number of other device files (see /system/CORE-DIAG/customize)
but I don't believe they are needed for the logging aspect of diagnostics.

If you examine the contents of the log files that may give a clue as to
what's wrong.  However, the output is intended for HP Support and factory
consumption and may not be very intelligible to customers.  To examine a
log file:

    $ sysdiag
    DUI> logtool
    LOGTOOL> list log=nnnn
    LOGTOOL> exit
    DUI> exit

where nnnn is the numeric part of the /usr/adm/diag/LOGnnnn file name.
The utility logtool is safe to use as far as I know but don't run any
other utilities at the DUI prompt--you could easily adversely affect
your system.  If you have a support contract I recommend you get them
to review your log files.  There is an extensive help command within
sysdiag and logtool.

If you want to turn off diagnostic logging just remove execution
permission for the file /usr/diag/bin/DIAGINIT.  Note that if you do
this and your system has a problem later, not having the records logged
to diagnostics by the kernel will hamper resolution of the problem.

Existing log files can be deleted at the cost of losing the data they
contain.  The highest numbered log file is the active log file and
should not be deleted.

There is a sysdiag(1M) man page.  As of 9.0 there is a diaginit(1M) man
page which documents the various daemons.

8) How come I can't lock mail or other files on a Sun?

Believe it or not, Sun's lockd is broken at 4.1.x. The proper Sun patch
number is Patch-ID# 100075-09, called the "lockd jumbo patch".
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
9)  What are the known issues with HP-UX 8.07?

 abs() is defined in two places for C++, stdlib.h and math.h.
 the IDL includes do not support C++ (fixed with patch PHNE_0974).
 PostScript printing from datebook (week or month) fails.
 datebook "View Year" display font is goofy looking and doesn't line up.
 statd can hang when accessing Apollo objects (fixed with PHNE_0690).
 automounter crashes when -hosts is specified (fixed with PHNE_0936).
 virtual memory performance problems (fixed with PHKL_1065).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
10) Why are mail files in /usr/mail are owned by daemon instead of the
     recipient?

The mail delivery agent /bin/rmail needs to be able to chown(2) these files.
It cannot do so if you have removed the privilege CHOWN (see setprivgrp(1m);
removing CHOWN is recommended to prevent cheating on disk quotas).  To get
around this, noting that /bin/rmail runs setgid to group mail, you can grant
privilege CHOWN to group mail only by inserting the line "mail CHOWN" in
/etc/privgroup. The change takes effect on the next reboot, or immediately
if you execute the command "setprivgrp -f /etc/privgroup".

11) How can I tell if I need more than a 2-user license?

    There are several fundamental things to remember about HP-UX licensing:

    o Series 700 and Series 800 users are now counted the same way
    o Display console counts as one user
    o Each ASCII terminal counts as a user, regardless of how it is
    connected
    o The LAN connection counts as one user

    Ascii Terminals

    The simple rule to remember is any ASCII terminal that is logged in counts
    as a user.

    ASCII terminal connections can come in several different forms:

    o Direct-connected via a serial terminal multiplexer
    o Connected via Data Terminal Concentrators (DTCs) or via
    terminal servers
    o Personal Computers (PCs) acting in terminal emulation mode,
    whether connected via serial line or via Local Area Network (LAN)

    X-terminals and workstations

    When a customer buys an X-terminal or workstation from HP or from
    another vendor, HP acknowledges that the customer has also bought a
    single Unix license-to-use.

    Therefore, the customer has the right to an unlimited number of logins and
    terminal windows _over_the_LAN_ to a Series 700 or Series 800 from either
    X-terminals or workstations. These logins can be via X terminal windows
    (_hpterm_ and _xterm_), _telnet_, _rlogin_, or other means.

    PC's that use X-terminal emulation software such as XView each count the
    same as an X terminal. This is because the PC essentially becomes an
    X-terminal when it is running the X server software. Therefore, when a PC
    is running an X-terminal emulator, the PC has the right to an unlimited
    number of logins to an HP-UX system.
