4.1.4 Some Emacs Command Line Options Fail
Compaq ships the Emacs software as it is received from the source. The
following command line options do not work as documented in the
emacs(1) reference page: -cr, -geometry, -i, -ib, -iconic,
-iconname, -in, -internal borderwidth, -mc, -T, and -title.
In some cases, a workaround is available by using an appropriate X resource.
4.1.5 New Tunable Parameter for Running Oracle8
If Oracle8 running on Tru64 UNIX hangs, look for the following console
message:
malloc_wait:X : no space in map.
If this message is present add the following to /etc/sysconfigtab:
generic:
kmem-percent=XXX
In this example, XXX is the size of the kernel malloc map. By default, XXX
is set to 25 percent of physical memory. Increase this parameter to 50 and
reboot the system. If Oracle8 continues to hang, increase this parameter up to
100.
4.1.6 Change to Format of ipcs Command
The output format of the ipcs command has been modified. The KEY field
now presents the value in hexadecimal format instead of decimal. This
change is compatible with other UNIX implementations and conforms to the
upcoming X/Open UNIX 98 standard.
4.1.7 Sendmail
The following notes apply to sendmail.
4.1.7.1 New sendmail Version 8.8.8
The sendmail program has been upgraded to Version 8.8.8 as the default
version for Tru64 UNIX. The current version, Version 5.65, is still available
for use.
The new version, known as V8, has become the de facto standard in the
industry, especially for ISPs. Some of the features and enhancements
provided with this new version include masquerading, virtual domains, relay
control, and spam blocking. For more information, see the sendmail book by
O’Reilly and Associates, or the sendmail Installation and Operations Guide,
or the sendmail(8) and sendmail.cf(4) reference pages. The sendmail
Installation and Operations Guide is included in PDF format on the
Base System Software Notes 4–3
