tcp services fail (still)
Ronald J Marchand
rs506a and other patches applied. The O/S is accessible from the console or
serial connections. The host is not able to ping or be pinged.
The network card (3C905tx) has been replaced as well as the system memory.
It was suggested that the network driver was bad. From the SCO ftp site I
downloaded and installed the better version. I did not deconfigure the card
and reconfigure. hw indicates:
%e3H 0x9000-0x907F 11 - 3Com 3c90x/3c980, unit=0
This last time when it failed, I was in position to gather some info. I
executed the following
# nd stop
# nd start
dlpid: Unable to open network adapter driver (/dev/mdi/e3H0)
dlpid: No such file or directory
#
# l /dev/mdi/e3H0
crw------- 1 root root 119, 0 Dec 3 2002 /dev/mdi/e3H0
#
It was reported to be missing but I was able to list it. I went to the TA's
and found the following in what is fixed in RS506a:
Bug-ID: SCO-231-513
A potential panic in dlpid(ADM) was corrected.
After an init 6, all is well again ... for a while
Does anyone have any suggestions on where I should turn next??
TIA,
ron

Then you aren't using the new driver. I think you need to at least
relink your kernel.. and I'd use netconfig regardless.

since the information reported at start up had changed.
Thanks

Linux. Seriously, OpenServer and UW are no longer under development
(despite the frankly criminal fibs of a few of the SCOG resellers
here), so it's no wonder you're having hardware problems now. This
will obviously become worse as the OS' continue to rot as SCOG's cash
is pumped into it's numerous court fiascos and Darl's pockets. Anyone
still clinging onto this kamakazi plane is an idiot who should really
be implementing alternatives as quickly as possible before they're
left high and dry...

Really ?
Can you quote your source, please (URLs appreciated) ?
I'm asking this because we're a SCO's reseller and, if the above is
true, we will immediately drop SCO's products.

On the off chance that someone might believe the statement above,
I would just like to set the record straight and say that:
1) OpenServer Release 5 continues to be developed and
we are currently working on the next release
2) We are expecting to ship UnixWare 7.1.4 in the second
quarter

Well, you don't seem to have much faith in SCO's products since your
webserver is presently running IIS! Well, in this case, the
term "running" is not really appropriate, since it returns:
HTTP/1.1 Impossibile creare una nuova sessione
Roberto Zini
Well, there are times when your boss/management makes the final decision
and picks up IIS as a WEB server without even asking your opinion
(that's what bosses are for, right ? :-) even if I was recently
impressed by Windows Server 2003 and Active Directory (but this is
another story).
FYRE, care to comment about your statement ? URLs and roadmaps will be
much appreciated ...

Let it go John, SCO was dead as a software company long ago. Only the
incredibly shortsighted/ignorant would actually pay for a dead product
with little hope of future support. I find it disgusting to see people
like you brazenly lying in the face of all the evidence. SCO is no
longer producing software. Their last few press releases about "new
features" in SCOG's tired abandonware have been nothing but further
evidence of you plundering GPL projects for code. It's pretty
pathetic.

Here's an example of one of the press releases you refer to:
http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/040218/flw019_1.html.
Yes, some new features depend upon open source software (not always
under GPL license), but many other new features do not. In particular,
the addition of kernel threads, large file systems support, and other
new features to the OpenServer "Legend" release have nothing to do
with open source software. The upgrade of both OSR5 and UW7 to the
latest Java 1.4.2 and Sun HotSpot Java virtual machine has nothing
to do with open source software. And so on.
The statements that OpenServer and UnixWare are still under development
that have been made here are not lies, they are incontrovertible facts.
And these statements have not been made by SCO resellers; rather, they
have been made by SCO engineers working on the actual projects in question.
As to "little hope of future support", hey, that's a question that every
buyer in this industry always has to ask. Will Sun give up on Solaris
someday? Maybe. Has IBM given up on AIX? Or will some exec shuffle lead
to their abandoning Linux and going back to commercial OSes. Who knows?
Will Red Hat give up on "Red Hat Linux" someday? Oops, already happened!

Well, this is funny but it's not what I was looking for :-)
BTW, I've just received a beta copy of one of SCO's product and it looks
like a great improvement over the last one, not to mention that this
should demonstrate they're STILL producing software.
FyRE ?
