- ! Subject: Ultrix mmap tip
-
- ! Ultrix has a "mmap()" function, but it doesn't do the same thing as the
- ! SunOS/BSD mmap() function. Therefore, do not configure INN to use
- ! mmap() on a Ultrix system. INN wants to find a mmap() function
- ! that is like the one on SunOS/BSD systems.
-
-
- ! ------------------------------
- !
- ! Subject: Ultrix syslog tip
- !
- ! The syslog on Ultrix sucks rotten eggs and Digital refuses to fix it.
- ! (source: everyone that uses Ultrix and has ever used other systems)
- !
- ! Luckily, you can replace it with the routine that comes with INN.
- ! However, some people have had better luck installing the syslog that
- ! can be found on gatekeeper.dec.com:/pub/DEC/jtkohl-syslog-complete.tar.Z
- ! It still works with old clients but does new-style syslogging, too.
- ! Works great for me so far. (this information from: nelson@reed.edu
- ! (Nelson Minar)). The syslog that is shipped with INN works pretty well
- ! but there have been some claims that some old clients don't like it.

- ! Subject: Ultrix tips
-
- ! Tip #1: Ultrix has a "mmap()" function, but it doesn't do the same
- ! thing as the SunOS/BSD mmap() function. Therefore, do not configure
- ! INN to use mmap() on a Ultrix system. INN wants to find a mmap()
- ! function that is like the one on SunOS/BSD systems.
-
- + Tip #2: The sendsys script breaks Ultrix 'nawk'. You can make
- + a 1-line change or you can switch to 'awk' or "gawk".
- + Original line:
- + ${AWK} "/^$1"'[/:\\]/,/[^\\]$/' ${NEWSFEEDS} >${TEMP}
- + Modified line:
- + ${AWK} "/^$1"'[\/:\\]/,/[^\\]$/' ${NEWSFEEDS} >${TEMP}
- + The original line will work with awk, gawk, but not nawk.
- + The modified line will work with awk, gawk, or nawk.
- + If you have gawk running on your machine use it. Otherwise, switch to
- + awk.
-
- ! Tip #3: The syslog on Ultrix sucks rotten eggs and Digital refuses to
- ! fix it. (source: everyone that uses Ultrix and has ever used other
- ! systems) Luckily, you can replace it with the routine that comes with
- ! INN. However, some people have had better luck installing the syslog
- ! that can be found on
- ! "gatekeeper.dec.com:/pub/DEC/jtkohl-syslog-complete.tar.Z". It still

- ! for me so far. (this information from: nelson@reed.edu (Nelson
