[comp.sys.apollo] Logging into Apollo via modem

sarathy@gpu.utcs.utoronto.ca (Rajiv Sarathy) (06/27/89)

I want to be able to go home and dial into my workstation.  I know this is possible by using the
SIOMONIT and SIOLOGIN commands.  I looked up those sections in the manual, but didn't quite
understand what to do or how to approach the problem (I'm new to Apollos and to UNIX system
administration).

I'm using a Hayes Smartmodem 2400.  I can use EMT to get the modem to go into auto-answer
mode, but what do I tell DOMAIN (I'm using the Aegis shell)?


Any help is appreciated!
Thanks,

--Raj

Here is a command file we use to set up the SIO line characteristics
and start the SIOMONIT and SIOLOGIN programs. SIOMONIT re-creates the
SIOLOGIN program after you logout so that there will be a fresh copy
the next time you try to login.

###
###  To startup sio server for remote logins on the modem line
###
crp -cpo -on //lyell '/com/tctl -line 1 -default -nld 0 -speed 1200 -dtr -insync -sync -echo -cvt_nl -nocts_enable -parity none -bpc 8 -stop 1'
crp -cps -on //lyell '//lyell/sys/siologin/siomonit //lyell/sys/node_data/siomonit_line1_file' -n siomonit_line1
voff



The "siomonit_file" mentioned in the script above looks something like:

-repeat /dev/sio1 -n siologin_line_1

This tells the SIOMONIT program to recreate the SIOMONIT program for
SIO line 1 each time it needs a new copy and that the name of the
process running the SIOLOGIN program (oops, I just noticed my typo --
that 2nd SIOMONIT should have read SIOLOGIN) should have the name
"siologin_line_1".  Hope this helps.

If you are using SR10.1 or greater I highly recommend using the
standard Unix mechanisms.  They give you greater security (ability
to limit the users of the system and require a dialin password),
greater reliability (less hanging, less likely to leave processes
around) and they reset the terminal characteristics so the person
before you can't die in raw mode and leave you lost.

I'm not sure which upsets me more; that people are so unwilling to accept      responsibility for their own actions, or that they are so eager to regulate   everyone else's.
