Hi,
I've been trying to set up Netack3 +P(1-6). Initially on an apollo,
but that wouldn't work. (I used the BSD4.2 and APOLLO switches in
the configuration files) This was fine 'till I added the patches:
now I get a 'segmentation error'. So I decided to test it out on
another system (VMS), (where I don't have system priv) using the VMS
patches provided in (P4/P3 ?) and that gives other problems;
UNDER VMS:
(1) There is a problem with lock files: PERM and SAFELOCK (defined
== LLOCK, HLOCK). NH fails attempting to create a link between them,
and if I create the files myself, NH alters their file
attributes so that I can't access them: They remain in the
directory, but DELETE, SET PROT (etc) return "file not found".
(It still won't create the link!)
EG:
$DIR /FULL
[...]
PERM.;1 file does not exist
[...]
!!!!!
(2) After the error, the programme crashes, and calls VMS_EXIT. This
returns an access violation (mask 4).
As you may have guessed, I'm pretty new to C programming, and don't want
to fiddle too much with the source before finding out about it. Could
someone who's managed to get NH going on either an APOLLO or VAX, please
let me know how they did it?
