Appendix F Additional SSM Information530 September 2002 HPSS Installation GuideRelease 4.5, Revision 2• The file .motifbind is read by the Motif window manager when it starts up, and is used toset key bindings to make Sammi work correctly. There are six versions of this file in /usr/lpp//sammi/data:.motifbind.dec.motifbind.hp.motifbind.ibm.motifbind.sgi.motifbind.sun_mit.motifbind.sun_newsIn theory, all SSM users need .motifbind files in their home directories on the hosts where theywork with SSM and view the windows (which may not be the same as the hosts where they arerunning Sammi). The Sammi documentation states that the proper file for the platform shouldbe copied to each home directory and renamed to “.motifbind”.In practice, on AIX systems, the file is not required because the settings in .motifbind.ibm arethe same as the defaults built into Motif. On other platforms, you may want to experiment tosee if using one of these files solves any keyboard problems you may be having.• The file /data/keydefs.dat also affects Sammi keyboardbehavior. This file is loaded into Sammi whenever it starts. By default, it contains keyboarddata appropriate to the platform where Sammi is installed.A user who views SSM windows on a different platform may need to load a differentkeydefs.dat file. The alternatives in /data are:keydefs.dat.ALPHAkeydefs.dat.HPkeydefs.dat.NIGHTkeydefs.dat.RS6000keydefs.dat.SCOkeydefs.dat.SGIkeydefs.dat.SPARC_SOLARISkeydefs.dat.SUNEach user can load a keydefs.dat file by using the Set Keyboard option under the Sessionheading on the SSM main menu. This change lasts as long as the current SSM session.Alternatively, the HPSS administrator can permanently change the keydefs.dat file for a userby creating a Sammi login command file which includes a redefine-keys command specifyingthe appropriate keyboard file. Once the login command file is created, the administrator willhave to edit the Sammi user authorization file to assign the login command file to the users whoneed it (see above).• Each user is allowed to set “preferences” to customize selected windows in SSM (seeChapter 1: Managing HPSS Servers (page 19) in the HPSS Management Guide).
