Dear Zephyr Developers,
We are running a very old version of zephyr from Nov. 1989 (without Hesiod
and Kerberos) in our heterogenous environment (SunOS4, SunOS5, AIX.3, AIX.4,
UNICOS8, IRIX5, IRIX6, OSF2, HP-UX) and want to upgrade to a new version.
1. Are there any efforts to develop zephyr in the future?
2. Where can I get the newest binaries or source?
3. Which systems are supported (all I find in config.guess)?
We are mainly interested in the above mentioned systems.
(Is there any intention to make zephyr for Windows/NT?)
4. Can you send me a list of known bugs and problems of the newest
version, so it's easier to decide whether we will install it?
Making a few test installations of zephyr-2.0.2 on Solaris.2.5, AIX.4.1,
UNICOS 8.0.4 and IRIX.6.2 I recognized the following problems:
---
1.
UNICOS:
a) I had to define additional variables to get zephyr compiled(e.g.MAXPATHLEN)
configure for CRAY Y-MP(UNICOS 8.0.4):
#!/bin/sh
SRCDIR=/afs/.@cell/common/soft/zephyr-2.0.2
"$SRCDIR"/configure --prefix=/afs/@cell/common/soft/zephyr-2.0.2/conf --exec-pre
fix=/afs/@cell/common/soft/zephyr-2.0.2/@sys/dest -host=CRAY Y-MP
b) zhm on UNICOS doesn't work:
14:48# dbx zhm

2.
if zephyrd on AIX.4.1.2, zwgc can't be initialized:
9:55> ./zwgc
zwgc: Connection timed out while setting location
and after a kill -TERM:
zwgc: Interrupted function call while subscribing
---
Can you give me a hint to solve this problems?
On SunOS5 and IRIX I compiled and installed it in the
same way and it seems to work fine with zephyrd under SunOS5.
Thank's for your help!
