I have some code that wants to run remsh on another system, but development is being done on a solitary Mac-II (no network connections). For testing, I'd like to be able to "remsh fishpond ...", where the development system is fishpond, but I can't figure out how to turn on the networking features of A/UX. The /README file refers to some document called "A/UX Network System Administration", but I don't seem to be able to find it in the A/UX documentation set. A quick summary of the necessary steps would be appreciated. Thanks! -Fred -- # Fred Fish, 1346 West 10th Place, Tempe, AZ 85281, USA # noao!nud!fishpond!fnf (602) 921-1113

But you don't need it to get networking started if you're already familiar with UNIX networks - I found everything I needed in the Release notes for A/UX (a funny place to put system reconfiguration info! - they also contain information on tuning kernel parameters). This is from memory, so it may not be completely accurate, but what you do is: 1) rebuild the kernel by invoking (whatever the command is - something like "config", but I can't remember) with the argument "bnet", "nfs", or something or other for yellow pages, depending on how much you want to enable (nfs turns on bnet (TCP/IP), and yp turns on nfs and bnet). 2) edit /etc/inittab - all the fields are documented in the comments 3) reboot On the reboot, the new UNIX will be built, and you will be instructed to run some setup stuff, like the machine's IP address. -- David Brown 415-649-4000 Orion Network Systems 1995 University Ave. Suite 350 Berkeley CA 94704 {pacbell,lll-crg,zehntel,ista,rtech,csi,kinetics}!varian!david
