I have two nodes running ultrix 4.0, a 3200 and a 5000. The 3200 receives decnet mail from a vms site. The other node, oj, the 5000, fails vms mail: $ mail nla0: oj::grant %MAIL-E-LOGLINK, error creating network link to node OJ -SYSTEM-F-LINKEXIT, network partner exited Decnet mail from an ultrix site just hangs forever in que with: (Deferred: Remote MAIL object at oj not responding) Best I can tell, these nodes are setup the same. sendmail.cf is the same on both. Decnet Object setup is identical: Object = mail11 Number = 27 File = /usr/etc/mail11dv3 Default User = daemon Type = Sequenced Packet Accept = Deferred The deamon account entry in /etc/passwd is identical on both nodes: daemon:*:1:1:Mr Background:/: Image is the same on both: /usr/etc/mail11dv3: mipsel demand paged executable - version 2.0 Any suggestions on how to resolve this would be appreciated. -- Grant@umigw.miami.edu (Grant Basham) RSMAS Computer Facility/Systems (305)361-4026 University of Miami

The problem, in my case, were the permissions on /usr/tmp not being 777. [This happened after I newfs'd a new partition and mounted it as /usr/tmp and forgot to do the appropriate chmod.] Michael ------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Internet: paddon@meo78b.enet.dec.com | | Michael Paddon | ACSnet: mwp@ubeaut.oz.au | | | ACSnet: mwp@munnari.oz.au | | | Voice: +61 3 895 9392 | -------------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks to Matt Thomas, Frederick M. Avolio, and Michael Paddon who correctly pointed out that the directory /usr/tmp -> /var/tmp needed protection of 777 rather than the 755 it had on my system. -- Grant@umigw.miami.edu (Grant Basham) RSMAS Computer Facility/Systems (305)361-4026 University of Miami
