Subject: SUMMARY: SUCCESS!! Trying to connect USB Mouse on
Ultra 80 - msg#00087

Finally my Sun Ultra 80 becomes useful as a desktop, thanks to the Microsoft optical USB mouse. The sun mechanical mouse was so difficult to use!

The only thing I had to do was the following:

(1) Find the mouse device in the /devices directory, which happens to be (in my case):

/devices/pci@1f,4000/usb@5/mouse@2:mouse

(2) Strip off the '/devices' and ':mouse', which gives:

/pci@1f,4000/usb@5/mouse@2

(3) Add the following line to the /etc/system file:

set consconfig:usb_ms_path="/pci@1f,4000/usb@5/mouse@2"

(4) Thats It! No need to mess with the /usr/X11/etc/...OWconfig file...

Hope this helps others who are using a mechanical mouse with their older Sun workstations! The Optical USB is SOOOOOO much smoother and more acurate..

The follwing document is a great USB primer for Solaris including how to configure a USB mouse and keyboard on an older system (Ultra XX series)

Thanks!
Ashok

Hi,

I am trying to connect a USB mouse on a Sun Ultra 80.
I am using a Belkin USB card and a Microsoft mouse.
I see the device in the /devices/pci@4000/usb..... directory..
It looks like the mouse has been properly configured.
But when I put in the path to the device in the
/usr/openwin/server/etc/OWconfig file, it gives an error while
starting S-windows (Xsun process)....complaining about the USB mouse.

Has anyone been through this problem before??

Thanks
SC

SUMMARY: mass process

Hi managers, Sorry for the late summary. I have received many responses, too many to list here. All of them are very helpful and valuable addition to my admin knowledge. Thanks for all of you replied! Many suggest me to use scp and go with the ssh features, authentication key feature (PermitRootLogin=Yes.) I tried to avoid typing password for each box, ended up temporarily enabling remote logging in without password and execute the script. Some mentioned expect script, use component Tcl etc, which I wish I had more time to explorer. Other solutions/resources I've received are: rsync + ssh, search through the web. distributed shell, http://dsh.sourceforge.net How to send passwords through expect: http://www.cpqlinux.com/expect.html "cfegine" "masshosts" Thanks! All of you!
