Hello OSF/1 Managers,
We are running OSF/1 v2.0 on a DEC Alpha (3000/300),
and have the following problems.
1. Segmentation fault while running 'rusers'
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Detail :
Only some users with no apparent common characteristics are able
to run the "rusers" program successfully. For others, it gives
segmentation fault after printing a few entries.
2. finger problem.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Detail :
When a user uses su or login to some other account, the finger
shows the new login name in place of the old login name.
But when he logs out, it still shows the new login name rather
than the old login name. This leads to some confusion and gives
wrong information about who has logged in the system currently.
Observation :
The entry is not properly reset, when a user exits from one session
in case of su or login from one session to the other.
3) NFS problem.
^^^^^^^^^^^^
We have mounted some remote filesystems through NFS on
our machine type soft (rw, nfs, intr)
The remote systems are SUNs connected to our ethernet-based LAN
through a bridge.
When we copy large files from local directories(DEC UNIX)
to a remote directory(SUNs), sometimes, the copy fails, saying:
NFS write failed : RPC timed out for <remote host>
cp: <local file>: connection timed out.
The same thing also happens for "tar".
Whereas, when we NFS mount directories from the Alpha(DEC Unix) to
the remote SUN machines and perform "tar", "cp" etc. on them at the
SUNs, this problem doesn't occur.
*** We will be grateful for any help regarding these problems ***
Thanks in advance.
Summary pending replies.
