Well, the Ultrix 4.0 distribution finally showed up and I went through enough of the installation rituals get build a test system and boot it up - it seemed to run and didn't immediatly eat my disks or anything nasty. Is anybody out there actually running 4.0 on a 5800 in a ~64 user time-sharing/NFS server production environment? What, if any, kinds of problems are people seeing with 4.0? By the way, reading all the release notes and stuff, it looks like the guys a DEC have actually done a pretty good job at fixing some of the traditional Ultrix 3.X problems that were strictly "grin and bear it" problems up till now. I hope there are'nt too many "interesting" new bugs/"features" though... -- George Robbins - now working for, uucp: {uunet|pyramid|rutgers}!cbmvax!grr but no way officially representing: domain: grr@cbmvax.commodore.com Commodore, Engineering Department phone: 215-431-9349 (only by moonlite)

The MUP should have addressed any problems that have been found/fixed to date, but with any major release, you should expect a couple of problems to sleeze out to the customer level. The result of an uptime request for one of the 5840 machines yeilds the following: 12:46pm up 4 days, 16 mins, 56 users, load average: 2.54, 2.66, 2.07 The result of a 'df | grep : | wc for the same machine yeilds the following: 96 576 8250 As you can see, UEG makes pretty extensive use of the 58** machines through normal use... - Marc ======================================================================== ==== Marc Evans - WB1GRH - evans@decvax.DEC.COM | Synergytics (603)635-8876 Unix and X Software Contractor | 21 Hinds Ln, Pelham, NH 03076 ======================================================================== ====
