I have two 4100s that are clustered. Do they share CPUs and memory when
a user logs into any of the 4100s? I am considering shutting down one
of the 4100s.

ISTR some standards conflict way back between a broadcast address having a host
address of all 1's or all 0's and this parameter lets you specify which way you
want to go.

Subject: DEClaser 5100 PPD on OS-X (CUPS)
Message-ID: <481ee96b$0$20561$c3e8da3@news.astraweb.com>
My old trusty DEClaser 5100 (aka: HP Laserjet 4+ with DEC software) has
a PPD file. I found out that the PPD is "too old" for the new CUPS
software on the MAC.
You can test PPDs for version 4.3 compliance at:
http://www.cups.org/testppd.php
Anyhow, I managed to update the PPD to appear to pass the tests. But I
am still having some problems with the Mac GUI printer setup not
honouring the UIConstraints properly (can't enable the decimage Punch
unless you check the DecImage box first, and this isn't working
properly, although on the CUPS web interface, this seems validated
properly when you click on the "continue" web button.
I haven't actually printed anything with it yet. But I was having
problems with the command line printing (lpr) adding junk that redefined
the "showpage" to be a no-op which caused a raw postscript file to
overlay all its poscript pages onto a single page :-)
BTW, turns out that under CUPS, you can LPR a text file to a postscript
printer and it will automatically convert it to postscript for you.
(this is on a Mac, Tiger, but I suspect that on Linux it would do the same).
If anyone else still has a DEClaser 5100 and wants to use it on a Mac or
Linux, send me an email and I might send out the updated PPD file.

If they fill it with anything other than a U.S. citizen (i.e. put out
a rate that far below the Department of Labor averages and fill it
with H1-B) it is a criminal action carrying fines and prison time. H1-
B and other visa holders which are actually elgible to hold jobs (not
those over here on vacation visa's working in IT) are required to be
paid prevailing wage. You cannot pay below the published government
national averages.
The posting of this opening was a blatant criminal act.

Oh, they intend to fill it with H1-B, but they went too far. They
advertised a billing rate below the department of labor's national
average entry level salary. As soon as they put an H1-B working into
that spot it is a federal crime. The posting of the position is a
blatant advertisement of intent to commit a federal crime.

Subject: How to avoid additional enter when using ssh
Message-ID: <cd056390-8f72-4923-80c9-dc61fcdfdd6c@m44g2000hsc.googlegroups.com>
Hi All,
I use OpenVMS V7.3-2 on Alpha with TCPIP V5.4 ECO 6.
I use SSH.
The ssh declared version (ssh -h) is 3.2.0 .
There is an annoying behavior of ssh (both when activated towards a
remote OpenVMS machine or
a Windows machin). The example is:
I activate:
$ SSH -o "batchmode yes" vms2 "@test" ! vms2 is the name of the
remote node
where the test.com contains, for example:
$ show time
The output is:
Authentication successful
{the current date & time}
And there it stops AND WAITS FOR MY ADDITIONAL ENTER !!!
So, how can I avoid the additional ENTER ?!
By the way: The SSH command procedure on the remote node is actually
used as a
"post-copy function", to move files that sftp copied but cannot
bring to their final target in the remote nodet. The "show time"
example here is just for
simlicitly.
Thanks,
Ami.

The only solution I've found was a suggestion on the ITRC forum. Not
classy, but apparently effective:
define /user_mode sys$command nl:
ssh host -o "batchmode yes" "@ cmd_proc.com"
For example:
alp $ ssh alp -o "batchmode yes" "@ my_mode.com"
Authentication successful.
My mode is NETWORK. [Hangs.]
alp $ define /user_mode sys$command nl:
alp $ ssh alp -o "batchmode yes" "@ my_mode.com"
Authentication successful.
My mode is NETWORK.
alp $
The hanging seems to depend on exactly what's in the command
procedure,
but I haven't bothered to puzzle out exactly what causes it.

As you already found out this seems to be an ssh client issue. On
TCPIP/IP 5.6
eco 2 it seems to work, but on TCPIP 5.4 ECO 6 and 7 it doesn't work.
There are however point -fix ssh images for TCPIP 5.4 available at HP
that fix this problem
(among others) as we have them installed on some systems, and there
the extra enter is not needed.
I would contact HP if I were you.
regards,
jose

Our customers have told us do not load IE7, remove Netscape as it
is no longer supported, and use IE only for sites which won't work
without it.
And I keep dinging our web site developers for using MS only HTML.

1. Read the TCPIP documentation carefully.
2. Make sure the public key is in IETF SECSH format, NOT the OpenSSH
format as it is on
your Linux system. If you are lucky, you can do with the ssh-
keygen utility (-x option is the one)
on your Linux system, otherwise download and install openssh on
your pc.
Give the public key a good name to make life easier on mere humans
(ridiculous non-Unix idea) like kashmir.pub.
3. Put this public key in the SSH2 subdirectory of the default
directory of user texas, and create in this directory a file
authorization.;
with one line that reads "key kasmir.pub" (without the quotes)
4. make sure all files ( keys and authorization.; ) in this ssh2
subdirectory are in stream_lf format
Good luck,
jose

It's a minor point, but that's "-v" output. For the version, you
need to quote the "-V". For example:
alp $ ssh "-V"
alp$dka0:[sys0.syscommon.][sysexe]tcpip$ssh_ssh2.exe: SSH Secure Shell
OpenVMS (
V5.5) 3.2.0 on COMPAQ Professional Workstation - VMS V7.3-2
So far, I've used only public-key authorization, so I don't know what
goes wrong with host-key.

Probably doomed. Different key file formats, as already explained.
If you make a key pair on the VMS system, you can see how different
the
files look. Conversion (one way or the other) should be possible, but
a
simple copy won't do the job.

Since when? I never had problems entering IP addresses as nameservers so far.

Remember that I live in a different universe :-)
IP addresses seem fin in the TCPIP$CONFIG procedure, but if you do SET
NAME in teh TCPIP utility, it seemed to really want a host name (or back
translate it to a host name from the host database). Maybe it isn't a
problem anymore, but when I set it up, I recall fighting to get an IP
address in and giving up and allowing it to use a host name.

If you do not bump the serial number of the zone file, slave servers
will not pick up the change in the master database,
unless you do tcpip$bind_shutdown, delete the .db files of the zone
you have updated, and a tcpip$bind_startup
on all slave servers, which is a pain. set server/init is as far as I
know not the recommended method
to restart the bind server on newer versions of tcpip.

Write a small DCL procedure that picks up every file using f$search,
and sftp
them one by one, either by starting sftp evrytime again or writing an
sftp batch
file and then starting sftp.
sftp was not written with any other oprating system in mind than Unix,
and as such
is more or less a pain on any other operating system. It's not
completely fair to blame
the people that ported it to VMS for the narrow mindedness of the
designers.
