[comp.unix.ultrix] Problems loading DECNET onto Ultrix

geordie@ritcsh.csh.rit.edu (Geordie 'Gweeb' Klueber) (05/17/91)

I'm trying to load the DECNET subsets onto an Ultrix (V4.1) system
here from the Ultrix CD-ROM (AI-NC03H-BE) dated October 1990,
but apparently the subsets expect the system to be V4.0, NOT V4.1
as I keep getting errors saying they want me to load the V4.0
system first.  This is obviously a problem; does anyone know
the fix?  I don't really have the time to try to track this
down this week... :-)

Please e-mail any responses...  Thanks!

Hi,
I think this is somewhere in the release notes, but here is what you
have to do.

Before running setld you have to fool the system that some of V4.0 is
installed ( fixed in next release of DECnet).

touch /usr/etc/subsets/UDTBASE400.lk
touch /usr/etc/subsets/UDTBIN400.lk

if installing DECnet Internet gateway

touch /usr/etc/subsets/UDTCOMM400.lk

if installing man pages.

touch /usr/etc/subsets/UDTMAN400.lk

then run setld on DECnet product.

These  .lk files should then be removed.
Cheers Simon...

Read Release note page 1-14

Follow these steps to create the lock files:
1. Login as root
2. cd /usr/etc/subsets
3. Issue the following commands:
   #foreach i (U*410.lk)
   ?touch ` echo $i | sed -e 's/410/400/' `
   ?touch ` echo $i | sed -e 's/410/400/' | sed -e 's/lk$/ctrl/' `
   ?touch ` echo $i | sed -e 's/410/400/' | sed -e 's/lk$/scp/' `
   ?end
   #chmod 744 U*400.scp

It will solve your problems.

RTFRN (release notes) section 1.3.4

some of the layered products think they need 4.0 and don't know about
4.1 so

# foreach i (U*410.lk)
  touch ` echo $i | sed -e 's/410/400/' `
  touch ` echo $i | sed -e 's/410/400/' | sed -e 's/lk$/ctrl/' `
  touch ` echo $i | sed -e 's/410/400/' | sed -e 's/lk$/scp/' `
  end
# chmod 744 U*400.scp

in /usr/etc/subsets as root

in other words lie to the stupid thing
