[comp.sys.sequent] UDPs @ Dynix 2.1.1

pen@lysator.liu.se (Peter Eriksson) (06/05/90)

We're experiencing some strange things with programs that are using the
UDP protocol. (Like rwhod). We have a setup of one Balance 8000 running Dynix
2.1.1 and three Sun 3/50:s running SunOS 4.0.1. The rwhod daemon seems to be
able to transit information to the Sun:s, but it refuses to receive anything
from them. Could it be that Dynix's TCP/IP software doesn't understand the
newer version of the broadcast address?

I suppose there is a newer version of Dynix that fixes this, but is it
possible to just update to the BSD 4.3 TCP/IP routines that are available
from Berkeley without having a source code license? (By just compiling them and
replacing the corresponding object modules in the OBJSlib.a lib.)


Another strange thing: When doing a "ps aux | grep pagedaemon" we get
a SZ of 3800, but on the Sun's it reports a SZ of 0 (zero). Everything
seems to work correctly though, so this might be the way it's supposed to be?
