A/UX: Directories; 32-bit Clean Warning; Number of Procs (9/94)


Here are a few A/UX questions:

1. I've got an NFS server online. How do I export specific directories
(/usr/catman, for example) without exporting root or /usr?

2. How do I prevent the "32-bit clean" warning (for Macintosh
applications stored and launched under A/UX file system) without
resorting to a ResEdit fix?

3. I know how to increase the maximum number of processes using
kconfig. Is it possible to increase my maximum number of PTYs to 64?

1. All the NFS exported entries specified in the /etc/exports file are
file system mount points. Currently, there is no way you can only
"export" specific directories under a mounted file system.

We suggest you make and export a new file system for these specific
directories.

2. SIZE resource is the only place to make this change. Here are two
ways you can make a Macintosh application "recognizable" as a 32-bit
clean so as not to get a "32-bit clean..." warning message everytime it
is launched:

* use ResEdit
or
* use "changesize +32BitCompatible file" command under
CommandShell.

Changesize command sounds easier than ResEdit.

3. Yes, it is possible to change the maximum # of PTYs via kconfig.
Just specify the NPTY=64 within kconfig.
