[comp.sys.apollo] Having trouble with 10.3 upgrade

syd@dsinc.DSI.COM (Syd Weinstein) (12/13/90)

Just installed SR10.3 on a DN4500, having a problem.  Am trying
to bring up the node, and every time I try a tcp function (such
as ftp, or anything) I get a message in my DM area about an
improper X function and the process being disconnected.  The process
seems to be tcpd, because it immediately exits.  Then I have to
shut down the node and reboot, lest the node totally lockup.

Why is tcpd exiting, and what can I do to keep it up?  I am running
a pretty default config, as I have yet to restore my files.
I am running tcpd, llbd, glbd, rgyd (default registry, mine isn't
restored yet), inetd,  my networks file, a shortened version of my
hosts file, and not much else.  I am logging in as root.

Also, how do I rename my //node_..... to the old name I used to
use?  I want to change the workstation name (in other words)

It appears it was a late night, and I had a typo in the hosts file.
If you have an ip address conflict, two nodes with the same ip
address, this is what it does, just give a message about an illegal
X function, and then exit.  I fixed that and now tcpd stays up.

Many people told me about ctnode/uctnode, which I had tried at
an older rev and got errors from and never did get the uctnode to
work quite right, at 10.3 it worked fine.


Thanks to all for their help.
