PROBLEM: Cannot print locally after remote line printing (RLP) has been
configured running "mkdev rlp" twice in a row. (If local printing
is working, but remote isn't, see footNOTE below.) One indication
of the problem is if, after running an "lp", "lpstat", or "cancel"
command, you get the message on the system console:
CONFIG: allocreg - Region table overflow (NREGION=xxxx exceeded)
This problem may also exhibit itself with other system messages, as:
CONFIG: newproc - Process table overflow (NPROC=xxxx exceeded)
CONFIG: s5iread - XXXX inode table overflow (NINODE=xxxx exceeded)
File table overflow

PROBLEM: A UnixWare 7 NonStop Cluster is being set up with the internal (boot)
disks of the primary and secondary nodes hosted on an internal
(non-shared) Integrated Smart Array controller (for example, in a
RAID 1 setup) rather than the internal Ultra Wide SCSI controller.
After setting up the secondary node, the following error may be
seen on reboot of the node:
sysinit.sh : ERROR : unable to locate a swap device for node 2
Failover of the root filesystem to node 2 (by taking node 1 down)
may also fail with the result of node 2 continually rebooting.
If an attempt is made to create a filesystem on the internal disk
of the dependent node, for example:
mkfs -F vxfs /dev/rdsk/n2c0b0t0d0sb 20000
will also fail with these errors:
WARNING: (ida,1) Compaq SMART: Interrupt from failed controller 0
WARNING: (ida,1) Compaq SMART: Interrupt from failed controller 0
PANIC: Asynchronous I/O write error.

converted it to an IP address and back again using client DNS.

vulnerability that can allow unprivileged users to obtain root
access through use of the "site exec" command. This vulnerability
is described in CERT advisory CA-2000-13 (see http://www.cert.org).
