[comp.unix.aix] TCP/IP and AIX1.1

martin@udac.uu.se (Martin Wendel) (03/12/91)

I've just installed AIX1.1, including the TCP/IP distribution,
on a IBM PS/2-70. After fixing the correct netmask (255.255.252.0,
don't know if the machine can handle subnetting) I powered it up
and watched, with etherfind, what would happen.
Well, it seems to handle subnetting, but it seems to try to talk some
strange protocol, unknown to me, sending udp packets from port 127 
(LOCUS-CON) to the broadcast address port 125 (LOCUS-MAP).

Does anyone know what this is?

No strange protocol; that's the DOS Server program, which communicates
with PC's using AIX Access for DOS Users. If you don't want it,
comment out the 'pci' lines in rc.include (I assume that is what it's
called in AIX 1.1; I use 2.2.1).
