Well I finally installed a White Box. Here is the thing we have all this company data in Oracle7. I thought it would be fun trying to do some reports & modeling via NS.
So I installed Nextstep 3.3 & EOF 1.1 and patched the OS & Dev kit. As far as I'm aware there are no patches for EOF 1.1
Ok Now I start the modeler and try to connect.....
It seems to error out WAY too quick.
I put the ip address in teh ServerID, the hostname in the host machine field, and scott/tiger in for user id & password. Yes our database really has scott/tiger enabled!
Anyways it just pops back. I suspect it's not doing anything.
From what I can tell the answer is in "NeXTanswer #1897" But I think they are all destroyed...
Any help here would be appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!

I placed a copy of NeXTanswers in the archives. It's a fattie download. :)

Aw man *THANKS* I was looking all OVER for that!
The obnoxious bastard in me says we should move the forum into a EOF / Oracle application so that it's NeXT friendly... Of course then it cut's out google & mortal users.. .
:)
Awesome Nitro, I was looking for that too a short while back!!
I got connected to the database!
The nice thing was:
For SQL*Net V2 style connection:
Server ID: < < This is the aliasname in /etc/tnsnames.ora for SQL*Net V2.1;
it could be the ORACLE_SID for SQL*Net V2.0> >
Host Machine: < < MUST BE BLANK> >
User Name: some_username
Password: some_password
Yeah... Nice.. must be blank.... Grrrrrrrrrrr!
Oh well the boss saw what I've mined so far, and it looks like we could be getting an Xserve!
