We have not previously used Apollo systems. We recently received a DN3500, and I began installing the software using MINST. I configured the system as a BSD system. After feeding it the OS tapes, I rebooted and followed the directions to establish the registry. The command /etc/server -p /etc/llbd failed, because, indeed, llbd did not exist. The 3500 will be working with some 2500's, also just acquired. Am I correct that I need to install the registry & daemon? If so, is the absence of llbd in /etc a trivial mistake I can fix quickly or should I go through the complete installation process again? Thanks for your help. David Todd Wesleyan University

There is a tyopgraphical mistake in the installation manual. The NCS servers are located in /etc/ncs, not in /etc. -- David Krowitz krowitz@richter.mit.edu (18.83.0.109) krowitz%richter.mit.edu@eddie.mit.edu krowitz%richter.mit.edu@mitvma.bitnet (in order of decreasing preference)

You do need the llbd and it just happens to be in /etc/ncs (took me some time before I found out). You do not need a rgyd on every machine.

Unless I'm mistaken, llbd (and glbd) are located in /etc/ncs, not in /etc. They certainly are on our systems, and in the <AA>, the ncs directory is present underneith etc as well (not a guarantee of the structure after installation, but a reliable indicator nonetheless). > Am I correct that I need to install the registry & daemon?

Of course, the registry is NCS based, so unless you have a stand-alone machine, you'll probably want it. We run llbd on all nodes.

I wanted to thank all those who responded so quickly to point out that llbd is really in /etc/ncs -- what a wonderfully supportive group! I probably could have figured it out eventually, but the help from this group saved me considerable time and frustration. Thanks for your help -- hope I can contribute, too, eventually!
