Subj: 	Having trouble with supfilesrv...

Hi,

I'm having trouble getting sup to work.  I'm trying to run the
supfilesrv on our DFS build machine, and then run sup on a machine
down in LKG.  I think I have the config files set up correctly, but I
end up getting a Fatal read error on the server.  This is what I'm
seeing on the server:

root@splash> ps ax | grep supfile
30908 ??       I        0:00.01 /usr/sbin/supfilesrv3.0
31015 ttypb    S  +     0:00.01 grep supfile
root@splash> supfilesrv 30960: Fatal read retries failed -- errno=0 x=0 n=2048 m=4 Fri Jan 12 10:34:20 1996

The error appears on the server several seconds after I run sup on the
client.  The sup command on the client gives up at the same moment:

venom.lkg.dec.com> ~/bin/sup -N -N -N collection dfsinstall  
SUP 8.200 (DECode II) for file collection at Jan 12 10:33:03

The supfile is:

venom.lkg.dec.com> more collection
dfsinstall base=/usr/usersa/strange/sup/data/dfsinstall prefix=/usr/usersa/strange/dfsinstall_from_sup host=splash.zk3.dec.com hostbase=/home/devbld/devbld delete login=devbld notify=strange@wasted.zk3.dec.com 

I have set up the .rhosts file for devbld on splash to allow login
from the client, venom.

The hostbase sup directory contains:

root@splash> ls /home/devbld/devbld/sup/dfsinstall
host    list    prefix
root@splash> more /home/devbld/devbld/sup/dfsinstall/*
::::::::::::::

::::::::::::::
upgrade src
::::::::::::::
/home/devbld/devbld/sup/dfsinstall/prefix
::::::::::::::
/project/dce/build/dfs.shared/sup


Any thoughts/help would be greatly appreciated.

	Thanks!

	Steve

Steve, I'm confused as to what the connection is between the
/usr/usersa/strange/dfsinstall_from_sup directory and your base/hostbase.

Have you tried using base==hostbase and not setting any prefix?  
This is how we use sup (actually we don't even set hostbase, just
base, and then if a client wants to define hostbase they can do that).

If you still have problems, please contact decwet::ode for help.
