[comp.unix.ultrix] more Ultrix 3.1C bugs...

grr@cbmvax.commodore.com (George Robbins) (01/02/90)

1) /etc/lcp -p /dev/tty?? claims that tty's that are actually LAT
   tty's aren't "LAT Devices".  The -v function also fails with
   the same error making it impossible to set up additional LAT
   services from a 3.1C host.  "Normal" incoming LAT works find.

crw--w--w-  1 root      39,   0 Jan  2 08:50 /dev/ttyL0
# /etc/lcp -p /dev/ttyL0
Ultrix LAT device: /dev/ttyL0 lcp: non LAT device

2) pstat -u doesn't work with the "address" display by ps -l to display
   the user area for a processes.  It's not obvious whether the number
   given by ps is bogus or pstat is confused.

   Depending on the address you either get garbage data or a can't read
   page from swap error message.

3) The -P option to getnode/remnode isn't documented.  This option (used
   by dsvconfig) apparently tells them to update the decnet permenant
   data base.  If you you remnode without the -P option to delete a node
   that was added by dsvconfig, the deleted node reappears after the
   first reboot.

4) The -b option to nfs_umount (used in /etc/rc.local) isn't documented.

I wonder if there is a 3.1C patch tape...

Someone does not agree on what "address" is; ps uses N, pstat uses
N-1, e.g.:

  myhost % ps l#$$
        F UID   PID  PPID CP PRI NI ADDR  SZ  RSS WCHAN STAT TT  TIME COMMAND
  b008201   0  9095  9075  1  15  0 32fa  91   42 fe400 S    p0  0:17  (csh)
                                    ^^^^
  myhost % pstat -u 32f9
                    ^^^^

  et cetera....

It took me some hours of scratching my head before guessing at this.
