Dumb question. After you put back the stuff in /etc/inetd.conf, did you SIGHUP inetd (or reboot)? inetd isn't going to reread the file unless you tell it to by sending it the HUP signal with a...

As long as you are going to try drivers, try some HP inkjets and some Lexmark models too. The printer speaks PCL, doesn't speak PostScript, but does it speak HP-GL/2? It is a language invented for...

Drivers? I'd call the manufacturer, Okidata, and ask them. You're going to have to spell AIX for them and they aren't going to be able to provide you with anything, but if they get enough calls...

Finger is available in AIX. If they are currently logged in mutliple times, you'll see multiple instances, in the output, and it will show where they are logged in from. This information is coming...

Sorry I wasn't more clear. Yes, I think paging messages do indicate a memory shortage. I discussed the 2x RAM rule of thumb because I was thinking you could see how much RAM you have, and see how...

Gee, normally you see complaints about excessive page-outs. My background is more in Solaris, where there isn't the distinction between "paging space" and "swap space" that AIX makes, so take this...

I stand corrected about useradd. Was the "-m" something that has been added at some point? Sometimes I'm operating off of an old man page. Sometimes I don't bother learning a flag if it only works...

I am not that familiar with Ultrium. Some of the newer tape technologies come with a chip on the tape. It does not rewind the tape when you eject, the chip keeps track of how far into the tape you...

If you cannot have your DBAs shutdown the database for the duration of your backup, perhaps they can put it into "hot backup mode"? This puts changes into separate files so that you can get a...

ttdbserver in /etc/inetd.conf is the "tooltalk database server". You applications all complain about not being able to use ToolTalk.

cmsd is your Calendar Manager Server daemon. If this is...

RDP is Microsoft's attempt to add to Windows a feature that has been built into Unix for YEARS now. Most of your Unix boxes use a protocol called X-Windows. On your PC, you need to get an X-Windows...

I don't know if it would help, but "-n" would also say to sort numerically.

Try adding what to /etc/netsvc.conf? What is the syntax?

I know how to add syntax for /etc/hosts (i.e. do I search DNS or /etc/hosts first, etc.). I know it can also be used to determine the...

If you are on computer "A" and you telnet into computer "B", then when you login to computer "B", the shell there will record what you have done. Nothing on computer "A" will be record what commands...

If they are not currently logged in, look at "last".

If they don't login at all, but connect via some TCP/IP applciation, etc., you will want to look at "netstat". You will need to figure out...

How your shell history is kept depends upon your shell (sh, csh, ksh, etc.). You are probably using Korn shell, which defaults to using .sh_history in the user's home directory to store a history...

If you have your keys exchanged, you don't need to have a .shosts file. This should work. You can run ssh with a "-d" flag in debug mode (-dd gets you more debugging,
-ddd even more, etc.).

A...

lsof will also do things that fuser can't, like show you who has TCP ports open, etc.

Where I find it useful is if I am going to unmount a filesystem, and it is not unmounting because it is...

Have an AIX 5.2 box. I had automounter already setup to control /home using /etc/auto_home as an indirect automount map.

Then we added NIS. We have it working, but for some reason, the NIS table...

How is your Savin setup? PCL? PostScript (if it supports it)? Does it talk JetDirect or LPD, etc.?

I am going to assume you are using PCL and either talking JetDirect, or you have it setup...

There is dtpad in AIX. The Solaris version has a couple of features that the AIX one lacks, but for the most part, it works the same. Look in /usr/dt/bin.

You could put Samba on your AIX box so...

In Solaris 8 (i.e. SunOS 5.8 - there is no such thing as "unix 5.8"), /home by default is owned by the automounter, wether or not you have NIS installed. Pressy's solution above is the only way to...

Speaking as a SysAdmin, the big problem with doing this type of thing in an expect script is, users (on average not being very security minded) almost never think to look at the permissions on their...
