| Subject: (2.5) Ultrix tips |
|---|
Tip #1: Ultrix has a "mmap()" function, but it doesn't do the same thing as the SunOS/BSD mmap() function. Therefore, do not configure INN to use mmap() on a Ultrix system. INN wants to find a mmap() function that is like the one on SunOS/BSD systems. Tip #2: The sendsys script breaks Ultrix 'nawk'. You can make a 1-line change or you can switch to 'awk' or "gawk". Original line: ${AWK} "/^$1"'[/:\\]/,/[^\\]$/' ${NEWSFEEDS} >${TEMP}
Modified line: ${AWK} "/^$1"'[\/:\\]/,/[^\\]$/' ${NEWSFEEDS} >${TEMP}
The original line will work with awk, gawk, but not nawk.The modified line will work with awk, gawk, or nawk. If you have gawk running on your machine use it. Otherwise, switch to awk. Tip #3: The syslog on Ultrix sucks rotten eggs and Digital refuses to fix it. (source: everyone that uses Ultrix and has ever used other systems) Luckily, you can replace it with the routine that comes with INN. However, some people have had better luck installing the syslog that can be found on "gatekeeper.dec.com:/pub/DEC/jtkohl-syslog-complete.tar.Z". It still works with old clients but does new-style syslogging, too. Works great for me so far. (this information from: nelson@reed.edu (Nelson Minar)). The syslog that is shipped with INN works pretty well but there have been some claims that some old clients don't like it. ------------------------------ [Last Changed: $Date: 1997/09/23 01:25:52 $ $Revision: 2.34 $] [Copyright: 1997 Heiko Rupp, portions by Tom Limoncelli, Rich Salz, et al.] |
