To deal with this the `node_data expansion would have to know the difference between //nodeA accessing //nodeB, //nodeDiskless accessing //nodeB and //nodeDiskless acessing //nodeDisklessServer. I'm not saying it couldn't, but I wouldn't be suprised if the layering were such as to make it difficult to know that at the time of expansion - given the transparency of the whole thing. -kee -- +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Alphalpha Software, Inc. | Voice/Fax: 617/646-7703 | Home: 617/641-3805 | | 148 Scituate St. | Smart fax, dial number. | | | Arlington, MA 02174 | Dumb fax, dial number, | BBS: 617/641-3722 | | nazgul@alphalpha.com | wait for ring, press 3. | 300/1200/2400 baud | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+

The problem is not evaluation of links, it's how well you understand the way Apollo sets up some administrative directories. The way Apollo trying to have two favors of Unix uses lots of soft-link in /usr. Just cd /usr and do a 'ls -lg'. > more //*/etc/ttys. >But what: I see <number of nodes> times the /etc/ttys of the node I logged >on. This is not what I want. >the command 'more //*/sys/node_data/etc/ttys' does'nt work either when >there are diskless nodes in the net .... Well, you can use 'more //*/sys/node_data*/etc/ttys' for sure. ^ You may encounter more softlinks 'inconvience' when dealing with SMTP mail, uucp, and some other programs that require you use ONE apollo as the administrative node and have the rest of the network link to it. It just needs more time to get used to it. -- Jinfu Chen (602)898-5338 | Motorola, Inc. SPS Mesa, AZ | ...{somewhere}!uunet!motsps!digital!chen | chen@digital.sps.mot.com |
