The situation: Two unix hosts running cap software on different IP ether subnets. One unix host "nervous" runs atis, atalkad, lwsrv and aufs for one small (12) appletalk network. A kinetics box provides the link between the appletalk network and the ether IP subnet. The second unix host serves multiple appletalk networks, each linked by a kinetics box. The second host "monster" runs atalkad, no atis, and no atis-dependent processes such as lwsrv and aufs. The desire: To permit macs on one of the appletalk networks served by the limited-service host monster to access the aufs server for the appletalk net with full-service host nervous. The questions: What needs to be added to host files: 1. the atalkatab files on full-service unix host nervous. 2. the atalkatab files on limited-service unix host monster. Possibly to the configuration files 3. for the Kbox served by full-serve nervous. 4. for the Kbox served by limited-serve monster. Any other files, any other processes: 5. Does limited-serve monster need to run atis? /etc/services changes? My initial attempt was to add entries to the nervous atalkatab for the net served by monster and the kbox on the monster served appletalk subnet of interest. This results in getzones reporting a zone; but atlook and atpinger yield no devices for that zone. I need to add some entries to the atalkatab on the host monster, and possibly do some other things. I would like to be able to tell the administrator of the monster host and multiple subnets exactly what needs to be done. Our research group is distributed over several locations, and the appletalk subnets are split as above; it would be nice to have aufs file sharing of commonly used files within these separate appletalk nets. Thanks for suggestions or the answer! -=- Dale Moberg, Assistant Director, moberg@cis.ohio-state.edu Laboratory for AI Research (LAIR), OSU, Caldwell 409, 614-292-8578
