Hi Everbody,

We just recently installed Ultrix 4.4 on 2 decstation 5000s
and a decstation 3100 (not an alpha).  Everything went smoothly
during installation.  Our problem is configuration of the new
system.

1.  On the 5000s the problem is with mail.  We can send mail but
cannot receive it.  Here is the error message in a returned mail
message.  It was sent from groucho to our machine kappas:

   ----- Transcript of session follows -----
550 kappas.local (tcplocal)... 550 Host unknown
554 <rouse@kappas.la.asu.edu>... 550 Host unknown (Authoritative
answer from 
name server)

We've tried messing around with sendmail.cf to no avail.

2.  On the 3100 the installaion also went smoothly, and we started
system configuration.  We added users, ran netsetup, and bindsetup.
Then when we rebooted it would not go to multi-user mode even
when you do a ^[d.  I have no clue on this one.  If we boot from
the old system (Ultrix4.2A) it goes all the way to multi-user with
any problems.

Any input you have on either or both of these problems would be
greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Roger
