CREATING

A

BLACK

4105

SCREEN

BACKGROUND

There

may

be some of you with 4105s and 4695 color copiers

that

get

tired

of

waiting

for

the

copier to

print

the

blue

background

of

the

screen.

What

follows is a quick

fix

that

will

set

the

default

background

color

to

black,

which will be

transparent

when copied.

It

is

possible

that

there are

programs

that

will reset

the

screen color to

blue; however,

this

does work

with

ACE

and

LDE.

Login as

root

cd

/usr

/lib/tabset

cp

4105 410.5.0Id

ed 4105

Make

a

backup

of 4105.

DO

NOT

use

the

editor"

p"

command!

This

file

contains

4105

commands

and

will

reset

your

terminal

if

you use

"p".

Use

"1"

instead

of

"p"

if

you

have

to

display

the

contents.

s/TF430B3F4/TF43000/

Set dialog color 3 to black.

w

q

Anyone who logs in

after

this will get a black

background

instead

of

blue.

This

is

a global change;

that

is, every-

one on

the

system

must

have

either

a black or blue screen.

UUCP

PATCH

FOR

SYSTEM

NAME

Those of

you

who have been using

uucp

to

send mail

to

remote systems

may

have

noticed

that

the

sending

syfr

tern

is

always called "sneezy",

rather

than

the

system

name

defined in whoami.h.

The

name

"sneezy" was

hardwired in

the

compilation of mail.

The

fix

is easy, simply use

the

patch

utility

program

(available on

TNIX

MUGL Disk

Volume

I)

and

patch

in

your

own

system

name

using

the

following procedure:

Login as root

and

make

a

backup

copy of mail:

cp

/bin/mail

/bin/mail.orig

Run

the

patch

utility:

patch

-w

/bin/mail

Using

the

prompts

in

the

patch

program, display buffer 105 and determine

the

address

of

the

string

"sneezy" fol-

lowed by

an

ascii null (hex 00).

Patch

your

own

system

name

on top

of

sneezy

and

be

sure to

end

it

with

a null.

Make sure you

don't

patch

over

anything

other

than"

sneezy", ie.

don't

use a

system

name

longer

than

the

six

bytes already allocated.

If you choose a

shorter

name, make sure you

end

it

with

a null (hex 00)

byte.

Write

the

patch

out

using

the

write

option

of

patch

and exit.

The

uucp

installation

makes

a link from

/bin/mail

to

/bin/rmail.

Using"

Is

-Ii

/bin/*mail*",

verify

that

mail

and

rmail are indeed

the

same

file

with

the

same inode

number.

Login as a regular user

and

test

by

sending

some remote mail. If all is well,

your

system

will now be

known

by its

proper name.
