I wonder if anyone can offer some help on what seems to be a perennial
problem in the Mac/Unix world. I am trying to build CAP 5.0 so that I
can do print spooling from a Silicon Graphics 4D/50 (running what is
essentially sysV but with a lot of bsd4.3 libraries & include files) to
a LaserWriter IINTX. I'm not too interested in aufs & file servers.
THE PROBLEM
Having made the libraries and most of the programs I tried to find the
FastPath4 with 'atlook' but this gives :
% atlook
abInit: [ddp: 3.00, 166] starting
Looking for =:=@* ...
and then stops without reporting an IPADRESS.
THE CONFIGURATION
- Class B ethernet with 0xfffff00 subnetting
- Various Apollos, VAXen, Silicon Graphics & Ethercard Macs hanging
off this network (+ some other junk) together with a Kinetics
FastPath 4 with rev 4.1 PROMS.
- A FastPath4 running KSTAR rev 4.1 with the following configuration:
LocalTalk Side:
Zone Name IPADA group
Net Number 2
Node Number 220
Ethernet Side:
Zone Name BHP-ETH
Net number 1
Node Number 166
IP Info:
IP Address of KFP 134.18.1.243
IP Subnet mask 255.255.255.0
Broadcast Address 0.0.0.0
IP address of router 0.0.0.0
IP Address of admin 0.0.0.0
UDP Side:
Zone Name BHP-ETH
Net number 3
Node Number 243
No servers, routers, administrators
No option flags set nor option parameters.
- atalk.local has the following :
# host network, node, zone (Ethernet side I guess ?)
3.0 166 BHP-ETH
# bridge network, node & IP address (UDP side I guess ?)
3.0 243 134.18.1.243
- cap.printers has the following :
morfyn=IPADA Laserwriter:LaserWriter@*
PostScript=IPADA Laserwriter:LaserWriter@*
ps=IPADA Laserwriter:LaserWriter@*
- /etc/services has the following UDP ports declared :
rtmp 769/udp
nbp 770/udp
echo 772/udp
zip 774/udp
WHAT WE DON'T HAVE
We have not got the AppleTalk Adminstration Daemon atalkad running on
the SG (because we haven't got a copy of this :-(, but I believe that
this daemon is only required for KIP and not KSTAR (is this true)
QUESTIONS I'D LIKE ANSWERED
1. Has anyone got CAP running on (i) Silicon Graphics machines ?
(ii) SysV machines ?
2. Is there anything obviously wrong in the above configuration
or have I stuffed up somewhere in the hacks required to do
the port of CAP to the SG ?
3. Any suggestions on what to do now ?
Many thanks,tim@merlin.bhpmrl.oz (Tim Monks) (06/11/89)

Whoops ... My last message on CAP did not have a signature, here it is...
