SCO Openserver 5.0.x The /usr/adm/syslog file has grown to be 200MB. I try to zero it out with this command: # >syslog Initially it shows to be zero bytes, but shortly after that it goes back to 200MB. I assume the O/S is keeping that file open? How to properly clear this file? Thanks!

SCO Openserver 5.0.4 I attempt to telnet to the server from a Windows PC. Telnet 192.168.1.40. On the first attempt there's no login prompt. A few minutes later I get disconnected. If I try again within a minute, it works and works normal (fast). At first I thought the server was trying to...

I want to increase the STREAMS, NSTR params. I think that will help with spurious telnet disconnects to the Unix server. I know how to do it in 5.0.x Openserver, in Scoadmin. But how is it done on a 3.2v4.2 system? Thanks in advance!

I know how to do it in Openserver 5.0.x systems: edit /etc/hosts, then change in Scoadmin, relink kernel and reboot. How is it done in the older 3.2 v4.2 ?? I don't see anything in Sysadmsh utility... help!?!?

I have a server running SCO Openserver 5.0.6 Someone alerted me about a network vulnerability, and suggested an upgrade to BIND. (See details below if interested.) How can I check if the server is running BIND? ps -ef | grep BIND ...

SCO 5.0.4 Changed the IP address this way: (1) edit /etc/hosts (2) scoadmin ->networks -> modify protocol (3) Relink kernel, reboot. All seemed well. Then, after less than a day, system crashes, reporting "Out of Streams resources". System crashes reliably everyday with same error. No other...

SCO 5.0.2 I was trying to do a backup today, and got this error: Failed to return local host device list. Cannot continue Backup manager startup. Failed to process the scoped request. General failure occured in processing the request. Unable to get list of available media devices. Failed to...

SCO 5.0.6 server. When doing backups, the system crashes with unrecoverable SCSI read errors on hard drive. Trying to do a FSCK in single user mode. When running fsck, error says "can't open /etc/checklist for reading error 2" There is a file /etc/checklist, and it contains: /dev/root...

SCO 5.0.x box, Pentium 2 with 64MB RAM. Changed the IP address recently, and ever since then system crashes daily with "out of streams allocation" error. I tried increasing the NSTREAM, NSTRPAGES parameters several times, based on suggestions here. relink, reboot. Still crashes. Would adding...

SCO Server (I think 5.0.x) crashed and won't boot anymore. This is the error message: Panic: htfs: free block 10019 epi freed on htfs dev hd (1/42) Cannot dump 16287 pages to dumpdev hd (1/41): space for only 12250 pages Dump not completed Press any key to reboot ==========================...

SCO 5.0.5 I recently added a network printer. I added the printer to /etc/hosts: # @(#)hosts 1.2 Lachman System V STREAMS TCP source # SCCS IDENTIFICATION 127.0.0.1 localhost 192.168.1.1 news news.wfmj.com 192.168.1.128 HPlaser When I ping 192.168.1.128, it's fine. When I...

What's the easiest way to strip the very last byte from a print file? Specifically, the formfeed char \f 0x0C I want to keep all other formfeeds intact. Thanks in advance!

I know you Unix jockeys can do this in your sleep. I need to strip out all occurences of 0x14 (dec 20) from a file. Or maybe convert them to a space. What's the easiest way?

Thanks to all who helped me install a network laser printer on a SCO 4.x server One small change is needed. There's a paragraph symbol getting printed after each paragraph. Where do I modify the printer definitions to strip out that character? Thanks as always

When the server boots, the console comes up with the graphical interface. What's the key combo to go to text mode? Is there a way to set this permanently ? SCO 5.0.x Thanks as always!

I know how to do it in 5.0.x systems, but not in 4.x.... I get stuck when in sysadmsh printer config, it asks me for "class name", "destination", "name of interface" ? Do I have to obtain a SCO driver from the manufacturer? We prefer to connect the printer via TCP/IP, but serial connection is...

Problem with a dumb terminal (VT100). After attempting to login, the user gets this error: "DCM Terminal Setup Program v1.1 Termset: could not open /u/nwsrm/client/unknown TERM not found in VVTERMCAP file. " This is only happening on one terminal, on port tty2a10. I believe the file it's...

I successfully changed the server IP address to match new network scheme. How do you tell the system to use a new/different gateway IP address for accessing the internet? Is it a Route add command? If so, is it permanent? Is it done in SCOADMIN -> network config? I feel so retarded. Have...

SCO 4.2 SCO server slow response to users, appears 'frozen' Rebooting helps for a while. Getting this message in /usr/adm/messages: CONFIG: newproc - Process table overflow (NPROC = 100 exceeded) Are there any tweaks I can do to reduce/eliminate this error? Or is it a simple matter of too...

Some newbie questions: (1) Changing the DNS config of a SCO openserver 5.0.6 box. Some user workstations on the network are pointing to this SCO box for DNS resolution. In turn, this SCO box forwards DNS requests to a DNS server at the ISP. Where in the SCO configs do you set the DNS address...
