Dear Netland, There's been a number of postings complaining that CAP 6.0 doesn't seem to work on Suns, but the distribution implies that it's been tested. We have another one of those networks that ran ru-cap successfully over a GatorBox, but can't seem to get anywhere with CAP 6.0 ( with or without the enet driver ). In our case, the first test running atlook fails to find any entities on the LocalTalk side of the GatorBox. So.. if any of you have succeeded to get the latest version running on a Sun network, let's hear from you. Did it come right up, or did you have to do some tricky stuff ? If there are some non-obvious things that need to be done for a Sun network, perhaps someone could write the "README.SUN" document for inclusion with the distribution ?

Haven't tried to run cap 6.0 on a sun3 yet, but I can tell you that it is running on a few Sun 4s here. Key things to know (that are documented in the distribution): 1) aarpd should be started in the foreground in /etc/start-cap-servers or whatever your startup script is called. It will disassociate from the terminal. 2) Start atis and sleep at least 30 seconds or so. aarpd initializes /etc/etalk.local, and atis updates it if necessary. Give them some time to find a default router. 3) Then start the other services. NOTE: I have not tested this version in a routerless network, so I am not sure it will work properly in such an environment. Is anyone running CAP 6.0 in such an environment?
