Hi all,
I've acquired a HP 9000 340 with hard disk and floppy drive.
It works fine. Boots up but I don't have any username or password. Are there any good known hacks to get at least a list of the /etc/passwd file to see the usernames?
I'm locating some 10base2 cable and connectors to hook it up to my network.
Maybe I need to reinstall the OS? Is there any disk images for download or that I can build? Might be easier than trying to break in :)
Cheers,
Rob

That is a '030 box, is it not? There is a way to boot into single user

mode by interrupting the ISL process at startup but I cannot remember
the details. (The process is slightly different from the later PA-based
boxes.) I would suggest searching for recovering the root password.

down.
Press any key to interupt this and get the ISL prompt.
then enter" hpux -is" to boot into single user mode.

Great thanks Ted. Try that tonight. I managed to get access to the passwd file but John the ripper is taking him time on the brute force. I'll search for a world-list file I think.

No worries. I'm in :) Managed to find an account that had sudo access. I've changed the root password and cooking with gas ;)

Oh, wow, congrats, that's really old stuff. Could you please publish an
"ls -la" of /bin and /sbin and the exakt kernel name? (uname …) Would be
great to know.

I wonder if anyone sells any old "ThinLAN" stuff on eBay?-) Remember -

it is RG-58 rather than RG-59 (or vice versa, the dimm memory doesn't
work too well that far back...). You'll need some sort of hub to
connect to your existing 10/100/1000 switch, and then a pair of
t-connectors, two terminators and then the ThinLAN cable itself.
There isn't an AUI connector on the back next-to or near the BNC
connector? If there is, all you'll need to find is a 10Base-T
transceiver.

uname -a would tell for certain. Keep in mind that back in the day,

there was a split of sorts between the HP-UX streams between
"workstations" and "servers" so just any old HP-UX 8.X bits would not
suffice. For workstations the sub-versions were all odd, so you'd be
looking for 8.01 or 8.03 etc. 8.02 8.04 etc wouldn't do. Same story
for HP-UX 9.

Rick,
Yeah I just found a place that still sells the RG-58 stuff. I purchased a meter of cable and a few connectors. I found an old switch with a BNC connection in my hardware box and I've fired it up and it light up. Cooking with gas. Just waiting for the delivery of the cables.
I'll try and do a uname and ls this weekend and post the details here. If I get it online I'll open a telnet for you :D
This things got a tape drive too. I've got old tapes. Wonder whats on it :D

drive. Very very often (!) the rubber rolls inside tend to get sticky,
and when you put a tape in, that sticky stuff sticks to the tape - that
damage is nearly unrepairable.

Right. name -a reveals:
HP-UX 6.5 A 9000/340
Errmm where are the networking files on this version of unix? Cant see anything relevant in /etc.
I need to change the ip address as its using the same as another computer on my LAN. I've managed to get the BNC cabling hooked up and connected to my switch.
Thanks,
Rob

Not sure about earlier versions.
Is there an initab entry to start the network?
If so then have a look in the script that is run.

The hostname had to be set in /etc/src.sh
Not editing /etc/src.sh produced "strange" results in Vue statup.
Since there was no hp Vue before 8.0, it is possible that
/etc/src.sh was not used up to 7.0x.

Assuming your model 340 has 16 MB RAM:

hp-ux 8.0x will run fine
hp-ux 9.0x and 9.10 will run, but startup of hp-Vue will be slow.
Once you are logged in with Vue, performance will be ok.
hp-ux 9.x on series 300 runs really fine with 24MB RAM or more.

I hope that you can make a copy/backup of the disk. 6.5 is quite rare.

8.x and 9.x not. New software can't run on any of these, so I would stay
with the 6.5. That's cool …

hp-ux 7.x was distributed on tape cartridges for HP9144 tape drives.

hp-ux 8.x and 9.x were available on DDS and CD-ROM.
I think there was no way to install via diskettes.
You may try to get more information at www.hpmuseum.net.
I think the minimum hard-disk size was about 150MB (HP7958B),
better about 300 MB (HP7959B).

What does the boot ROM display before loading hp-ux?

Or: what does /etc/dmesg display? There should be a line similar to:
Memory Information:
Physical: 24576 Kbytes, lockable: 21024 Kbytes, available: 21124 Kbytes
(The line above comes from a model 382 with 24 MB RAM.)

(Asking because I never had 6.x and would be interested to get it
running on my machines)

Do they pertain to HP-UX 6.something?

I think I have a 7.05 diskimage from a 400T (that's the 030 version) somewhere.

HP-UX 5 seems to be for the older 3xx series:

Sorry for the Hiatus. I got side tracked on other projects. I've just booted the HP 9000 340 up again as I had a flood and needed to test my old stuff was not damaged. The HP was saved. Do you still require a copy of HP-UX 6.5? Let me know how to extract it from the HP. I have it networked on my LAN.
Is it possible with the right cables to hook the HP up to a IBM 5151 monochrome monitor? My idea was to get a DB9 to DB15VGA connector and hook it up. What graphics crds do these have? I tried using a TFT 14" monitor and I could not get a signal but on my TFT Sun Monitor it works.
