We have just upgraded to Umax 4.3. All in all it seems pretty good.
The major problem is that our rpc.mountd's keep on hanging. This means our
suns cannot mount any more filesystems until the mountd is killed (inetd
then starts up a new one and all is fine for a while). Since we are running
automounters on the suns which often umount and mount filesystems, this is a
major problem.
Also, rlogin hangs at the passwd prompt when going from the Encore to our
ELXSI (running Enix 4.3). Not even ~ escapes will work. The connection
times out after 60 seconds.
Finally, the INSTALL script in /usr/etc/install for setting up the Encore as
a server for Sun clients doesn't cope with the SunOS4.1 install tape.
Any help on the above problems would be most welcome.

On the question of the 4.1 upgrade to the multimax, I had the same problem when I had to load 4.0.3 because it came with a mini-unix. It seems like you have one alternative. Load your new system down to a local disk, then rcp it over to the Multimax distribution and over-lay the files. _Tom Meier Boston University.
