[comp.unix.aux] No telnet under A/UX?

hbh@athena.mit.edu (Heidi Hammel) (01/05/91)

I just installed A/UX 2.0 on my Mac IIci.  I have been running NCSA 
Telnet 2.3 on my Mac via an ethertalk card and thinwire connections.  
But it won't run under A/UX.  Says it's not 32-bit clean.  
I tried relogging in under 24-bit (just like it says in the TFM for 
running non-32-bit-clean programs). No luck.

It _acts_ like its working, but just can't locate the machine.  In the 
control planel under MacTCP, when I look at the IP addresses and defaults 
WITH A/UX,  they are all O's.  WITHOUT A/UX, they are set to the correct 
IP address and defaults.  I cannot change them under A/UX - says they 
are protected.

Any clues?  Something silly?  I'm an experienced unix _user_ (read: _not_ 
a system hacker) but very new to the Mac world.  Thanks for any help.

You need to run "newconfig nfs" to tell a/ux you have a network
connection, I beleive (I did this recently and telnet works for
me).  a/ux has its own version of MacTCP, and it doesn't obey the
control panel. See the "Setting Up Accounts and Peripherals in A/UX"
a/ux manual, chapter 9 for more help (or man newconfig). -- Don
