I have been using a p166 with 96MB ram, version 5.05 open server and
visionfs 3.0. The server has been working for a couple of years without a
problem. To reduce admin. I switched the visionfs server to authenicate
passwords on my WINNT 4 sp6 server. After doing this, about once a week the
unix box starts bogging down and the hard disk light stays on. Any ideas?

Thanks

steve

Yes, I have an idea. I'll bet it bogs down on Mondays? Visionfs does some
logfile housekeeping on Sundays. I think it uses a broken awk. I have fixed
this by manually deleting the log files in the vision folder. However, be
backed up, and careful when & what you are deleting! As I recall, I think
all the log files ended in ".log". Do a 'find /usr/vision -name
\*.log -print' and see what it shows.

Since I upgraded all customers to 3.10.911 of vision, a free upgrade, this
problem went away.

Do I download the 60 day evaluation copy and apply my activation key or is
there another download file? Also I don't really need log files on a print
server, is turning off the logs as easy as clinking the radio button under
logged events = None?

Thank you for your help,

steve

Someone correct me if I am wrong (as if this group needs that advise:), but
if you are on 5.0.5 or higher, you can download and install visionfs 3.10
and the 911 patch - no license required, it just installs users to match
your Unix license.

Try this link:

http://www.tarantella.com/support/updates/vision/p.vfs.3.10.911/

First install 3.1, then do the 911 patch. You won't need to enter any
activation key.

Where do you get 3.10, the only place I could find was an evaluation copy.

I decided I would, only to realize it only contains patches. I don't see the
3.10 vfssco.tar any more, the one that contained the meat. So I conclude my
link was useless.

No, I couldn't find 3.10 on either caldera's or tarantella's servers.

Yes, I did get to this web page. Part of my question was whether or not
this evaluation copy will work for more than 30 or 60 days.

Going back four messages: I asked if you tried it. You then said you
couldn't find it, now you said you did find it. Once again, did you try
it?

I applied the 3.1 software and the 911 patch and everything is working great
so far. Thanks to all who took notice.
