Ultrix source (was Re: playing with the VAX 6460)

Eric Dittman wrote: Well, I do have the UNIX source license :-). It's somehow a weird thing with those Ultrix sources, they sometimes materialize in cyberspace out of nothing. I'm not even sure I have them or ever had them. But it sure would be nice if Compaq could be convinced to make this available. I guess that many, many classic computer folks are walking on a gray area when using any kind of Ultrix that they may have inherited with an old machine or disk or purchased off Ebay or whatever. I did find out/guess that kern_lmf.c is really the key to the License Management Facility, the thing that among other stuff keeps me from having more than 2 telnet sessions to my VAX at the same time. One workaround for the telnet stuff, I heard, is to simply replace the login program using some BSD sources or whatever. I'll see if this will do. The kern_lmf.o is an interesting beast that wants to be peeked inside to see what it does and who calls it etc. I suppose it is not so critical after all if one can make a dummy replacement for it. regards -Gunther -- Gunther Schadow, M.D., Ph.D. gschadow(a)regenstrief.org Medical Information Scientist Regenstrief Institute for Health Care Adjunct Assistant Professor Indiana University School of Medicine tel:1(317)630-7960 http://aurora.regenstrief.org
