System Management
MPE/iX POSIX Installation Changes
Of course the system manager can change the file permissions but the
default is now correct.
New Symbolic Links:
UNIX users are accustomed to invoking FTP and other networking
services and files by their common UNIX filenames. To this end,
Release 6.0 has added many new symbolic links. Twelve networking
related links are defined:
And, several miscellaneous links:
/bin/ksh
/bin/cc
/bin/ld
Three new device files have been created:
/dev/null
/dev/tape
/dev/tty
There are traditional MPE ways of reaching all of the above files and
services, but these new links make it more familiar to UNIX-trained
system managers, without any changes visible to the MPE system
administrator.
These new links and device files are defined in the
I0036431.HP36431.SUPPORT job file. If a file by the same name
already exists it will not be overwritten in this job.
