Update on the September 6-7 Session Server Migration

With the exception of software yet to be ported, differences between AIX
and HP-UX, and some hardware problems, the migration from AIX session
servers to the HP-UX session server has gone fairly smoothly.  There are
several points to note where some users may be required to take an
action to fix a problem:

1.      Users have been experiencing a problem with POP access (i.e.
        Eudora, Netscape mail, etc.) which has been determined to be a
        NFS bug (the POP server complains that a session is already in
        progress or hangs).  A patch should be applied within the next
        working day or two to correct this problem.  No action is
        required by the users other than waiting for the patch to be
        applied.  Users may read their mail by logging into their UNIX
        account and using Pine.

2.      Users attempting to use mail or mailx on HP-UX may be receiving
        an error that the "more" command cannot be found.  If this
        happens to you, issue the command

                % new.dots

        at the system prompt and allow it to update your .mailrc file.

Information on the migration and what has been accomplished so far can
be found on the web pages at the Cal Poly Web server address

frequently and new pages are flagged on the index at the main page.
