[mod.computers.apollo] need help with /etc/rc

dennis%cod@NOSC.ARPA (Dennis Cottel) (11/27/85)

I am trying to install Domain/IX on a DSP80 under SR9.  The boot file
"/etc/rc" is a link to "`node_data/etc.rc" but I can't find a copy of
an "etc.rc" file anywhere.  Would someone running Domain/IX mail me
their etc.rc file.  Any other hints on getting this going are obviously
welcome.  Thanks a lot,

For an apollo, the etc.rc is usually pretty simple.  For example, the one
for my node contains:

#
# Start unix deamons
#
/etc/rshd
/etc/telnetd
/etc/rlogind

-----------------------
The above only makes sense if you're running in the 4.2 universe and have
an ethernet gateway someplace.  Some other hints:  You need to run /etc/crpty
once to create the pty's used by Unix deamons (it takes a single argument,
the number of pty's to make).  You also need to make sure the command
	cps /etc/run_rc
is in the node's `node_data/startup.XXX file in order for the script to
be run (this must appear after the SYSTYPE variable is set).  If you're not
using network deamons or cron, there's probably little reason to bother
with /etc/rc on an apollo...
