Sorry for the delay in the summary, as always you folks are great.My problem was that NIS couldn't deal with entries in /etc/group and/etc/netgroup larger than size "x". I didn't know what "x" was.Everyone suggested that I simply break my netgroups up into smaller ...

Well, I didn't get much of a response to this request. But I did a bit of hunting around and think I know what the story is. In my original request Iwanted to set up a NIS shadow password map for a heterogenous environment.Not that I'm obsessed about security, it just seems plain dumb to have ...

It turned out that printcap's "ms" capability wasn't at fault, afterall. The "crtscts" control flag was indeed being set, but the ALM-2only supports this on ports 0-3! Evidently this arises from theoriginal MCP being a 4-port synchronous device. **** ARGH!!!! ****This ...

It looks like I summarized too soon. Even after modifying zsadtrlowto 5, I had DTR not get raised this morning. I have included amessage from Tim Tessin (tjt@cirrus.com) who let me know those of uswith 4.1.1 will just have to wait.My initial message:> Well, I had tried this and again after ...

A while ago I asked what setting the zsadtrlow variable to 5 did inorder to fix "the DTR problem." First off a definition: the DTRproblem was that after a machine running SUNOS 4.1.1 was up for anindeterminate amount of time with a getty running on a serial line(ttya in my case) ...
