the amazing non-closing CDROM drive.

[Steve Post]

Don't worry about the ssh thing. That should be a different forum entry.

The cause of my problems was a bad cdrom drive. That is all it was. Nothing else.

>TwoProc: Did you move from 32 bit to 64 bit during the conversion?

The HP-UX default is 32 bit, so this is unlikely to be the issue.

Resp: Uh, so no-one - if not most shops didn't change to 64 bit OS at 11.0???? You must be kidding...


>If so, you might be having trouble with the new 64 bit math libraries being diff (read: incompatible)

While it is true the 32 bit math libs may have slightly different results, based on the PA1.1 versions, they are better.

Resp: better/worse... meh. I was talking about *incompatibilities* b/w the DES libraries used by ssh and the math libs, this is because many folks first went to ssh from the ported archives, not from an HPUX distro.
e.g. I don't think that ssh was in the 11.0 distro, so it may have been obtained from the porting archive.

>Make sure you've "64 bitted" everything
laying around

This isn't needed on HP-UX unless you want to use a large address space.

Resp: see above comment about library incompatibilities, same advice, just given differently.
