I have AT&T UNIX 5.3.1. [stuff deleted...] I am not sure how much AT&T V differs from either ISC and ESIX rev. D. If you use AT&T UNIX SysV/386, (I hate to say this) you are venturing out to the unknown more or less, presuming you are using binaries downloaded from somewhere. These archived binaries have been built *specifically* with both ISC (2.02 or later) and ESIX V rev. D in mind. I know for a fact that if you use them on SCO boxes they will cause kernel panic!! As to AT&T SVR 3.2.1, Hmmm... I don't know anyone who has done a porting job yet. > I was able to rebuild the kernel with the parameters indicated by >Thomas in his install.sh with the exception of SHLBMAX which I set to 6 - >the maximum value in the mtune file. I debated with myself with the mtune restriction for about one day, but finally said to heck with it and I edited mtune in /etc/conf/cf.d, changed the max of SHLBMAX to 8 (YES! no typo here) and then ran Thomas' install.sh wich invoked /etc/bin/idtune and raised SHLBMAX to 8 too. So far so good. I also know a few other ESIX users who have raised SHLBMAX to 8 without any adverse effect. So I suspect that in your case, you can raise SHLBMAX to 8 as well. [stuff deleted] I didn't encounter any error messages that you got however. Chin Fang Mechanical Engineering Department Stanford University fangchin@leland.stanford.edu
