klas@nada.kth.se (Klas Heggemann) (11/13/89)
A while ago there was some discussion in the sun managers mailing list about rpc.bootparamd and problems booting some machines. I then mentioned that I had written some small programs to track problems when booting a client fails. These will be avaliable as a shar file with anonymous ftp from sirius.nada.kth.se (130.237.222.29) as "src/bootparams.shar". With this letter I also include a copy that can be placed in the archive at rice.edu. One of the programs sends a RPC request (to a specific server or a broadcast request) asking for booting information and reports the respone(s). Also included is a version of rpc.bootparamd that will allow the use of aliases in the /etc/bootparams file. Ed's Note: included file in archives FTP Hostname : titan.rice.edu (128.42.30.1) Directory: sun-source Filename : bootparams.shar Archive Server Address: archive-server@rice.edu Archive Server Command: send sun-source bootparams.shar
