Has anyone out there with Ultrix 2.0-1 implemented a ksh on your
system?

I am a System V hack, but since we have an 11/785 running Ultrix 2.0, I
put ksh up on the machine. The makefile itself is written to determine
that the OS is Berkeley-based, so you shouldn't have any trouble. At
least I didn't.
Good luck.

We managed to get ksh to compile on our ultrix-2.0 microvax, but could not get it to run. We DO know that it runs on an ultrix-1.2 vax, having seen this with our own eyes... if you find out what the problem with 2.0 is, please post something... -- Don Kossman, SEI Information Technology, Los Angeles usenet: {ccicpg!imt3b2 | peregrine!imt3b2 | sun!tsunama!tsunami}!seila!don

We also could not get ksh to run on our Ultrix 2.0. I attended a local UNIX user group meeting where a DEC salesman gave an Ultrix talk. He mentioned that VAX BSD 4.? executables would run under Ultrix. I tried it and sure enough, it works like a charm. -- Gary A. Davis Racal-Milgo, P.O.

This is a long shot, but maybe Ultrix 2.0 did away with the old DUPFLG stuff in dup(2). This was done in 4.3+NFS and it broke some ksh i/o stuff like input redirection and `x`. If this sounds familiar, try grepping the ksh source for DUPFLG and replace occurrences of dup(x|DUPFLG,y) with dup2(x,y) But then again, if a 4.2 ksh binary worked, this probably isn't what's wrong.

Things that do file system related stuff. Things that read passwd files. And probably a bunch of other stuff that I can't remember off the top of my head. A lot of this can probably be fixed by re-linking on the 2.0 machine. John
