Second request (to wider audience). I don't know if this is
a porting problem, an HP problem or an installation oversight.

Has anyone been successful in getting the BSD comsat (biff server)
running under under HPUX 7.0 on a HP9000/800S?  I can get it to
compile just fine.  I put the following line in /etc/services:
  biff 512/udp comsat
and the following in /etc/inetd.conf:
  comsat dgram udp wait root /usr/local/etc/comsat comsat

Then, I even went so far as to inetd -k (after inetd -c) and
restart inetd. My inetd.log shows:
   Service: comsat/udp  Executable: comsat 
which leads me to believe that inetd is happy.
 
netstat -a shows biff as an udp protocol.
	udp        0      0  *.biff             *.* 

Checking for last access time (after sending myself countless mail
messages), it appears that comsat is never run by inetd and I'm
not getting notification.  [I have biff y (checked it).]

Is there some magic that I haven't remembered?

Right now, I'm ifdef'ing out BSD (had compiled with -lBSD) stuff and
rewriting in termio(7) ioctl calls.
Having problems with this one:

(void)ioctl(fileno(tp), TIOCGETP, &gttybuf);
cr = (gttybuf.sg_flags&CRMOD) && !(gttybuf.sg_flags&RAW) ? "" : "\r";

Got as far as (I think ??):
struct termio gttybuf;
if ( (ioctl(fileno(tp), TCGETA, &gttybuf)) < 0) {
	...err stuff deleted }
cr = (gttybuf.c_oflag&OCRNL) && (gttybuf.c_lflag&ICANON) ? "" : "\r";

Does anyone know if these lines are correct translations?

Thanks.  --Heather
