[alt.sys.sun] Rutgers CAP/ethertalk configuration

dyer@spdcc.COM (Steve Dyer) (11/10/90)

Configuration: Sun SLC w/local disk running SunOS 4.1 and RU-CAP 2.0
with the enet packet filter installed in the running /vmunix.
/etc/atalk.local contains the single line: "enet0 spdcc-etalk 1025".
There is a single MacIIfx (an eventual Aufs client) running ethertalk
phase one on the same ethernet.  No appletalk routers involved.  CAP
entries in /etc/services (no YP) have been added.

I manually start aarpd and atis.  Atistest times out and asks if
atis is running.  Atlook just returns after looking for =:=@*.
Aufs reports that SrvrRegister fails.  Running debugging on the
atis daemon doesn't tell me too much--it seems to receive and drop
on the floor a ddpRTMP request packet which the Mac sends on reboot
or network restart.  I guess that's an indication that the ethernet
filter is at least returning SOME data.

This is about as absolutely a vanilla ethertalk CAP build that I can imagine.
I just ran Configure and gen.makes, and used all the default settings.
It's not clear to me why it shouldn't be working.  Has anyone tried
this successfully?  Do you have any words of wisdom to offer?
