7.4C is ready for testing. Update is per usual as sent in past messages.
Changes in this release:
Ultrix:
/etc/nsyslog.conf:
Was misconfigured and did not log mail properly
/etc/elcsd:
Fixed to log locally and remote. Old functionality was
one or the other.
sys/machine/swapvmunix.c:
Leave room in swdevt so that mkserv can fill in later.
This will allow multiple swap partitions soon.
whois:
Now has a proper host. Was using ns.nic.ddn.mil.
RS/6000:
/athena/config/update/rconf.ws:
make /etc/athena/xdm a symlink to the srvd
Common:
/usr/athena/lib/update/7.4C
(For ultrix nsyslog.conf)
(Edit rs6k remote/console login banner to not mention athena
version number)
/athena/athena.etc/gettime.c:
retry if name query fails with TRY_AGAIN (can happen if
nameserver is slow to start up during initialization)
/third/common/gnu/emacs/etc/movemail.c:
Be sure to send QUIT pop command back to server before exiting
Fix bug where a '.' in the 128th column could hose mail.
Changes to the kernel:
afs/afs_cache.c, afs/afs_memcache.c:
Fixes for memory cache support
afs/afs_pioctl.c:
LRU improvement
afs/afs_osifile.c:
Fix for trying to write to cache when partition at 100%
as user. (Allows little extra slush up to 110% limit)
/athena/etc/snmpd/server/src/main.c:
gives correct number of missing names in kernel to syslog
/athena/config/files/common/Imakefile:
create /srvd/patch as a symlink to
/afs/athena.mit.edu/system/@sys/patch.74 (with version
number changing automatically as appropriate)
/athena/dotfiles/system/xsession:
typo- changes should be in .cshrc.mine instead of .cshrc
/etc/athena/xdm/* now contains the configuration for xdm.
It is still a symlink from workstation root.
(7.1 compatibility removed)
/usr/athena/etc/xdm: Fixes for possible utmp corruption

Fixes for possible utmp corruption
space after "7.4" in resources removed

/usr/andrew/dlib/atk/buttonv.do is now copied to packs so neos
will work
/athena/athena.etc/xdm/xlogin/Xlogin:
make idle motd line up with left edge of owl, not "press
any key" use 9x15 (fixed) font instead of proportional font,
to allow things to be ined up.
location of idle motd file changed
