small TCP/IP package installation question (in RT11)

by GOOI＠oce.nl

OK. Thanks for all the advise. I am using PUTR too, of course. Unfortunately, the firewall of our company does not allow FTP.... Lucky me that I bought the RT-11 Freeware CD-ROM from Tim. On it is the small FTP and Telnet package as well, in a .DSK and as a directory with the seperate files in it. Saves some download time. > BTW, one word of advice, follow the instructions to very > carefully, you'll save yourself a lot of headaches! So, I guess I will encounter the same pitfalls. That is okay, in such a scenario you learn the most. Struggling with some problems is half the fun, isn't it? Then there is always ClassicCmp .... -Henk.

Neon logic circuits

by mranalog＠home.com

Hi all, Two years ago I put up a ZIP file (lamp.zip) containing scans of pages from a manual showing how to build logic circuits using neon lamps. I just made the file available for a short time. Now someone has found the name of the file from the classiccmp archive and has ask me for a copy of the file. I can't find it on any of the computers I have up and running, or on any of my back-up CDs. Would someone that grabbed the file two years ago, please send it to me or put it up so I can grab it. Thanks. --Doug ========================================= Doug Coward @ home in Poulsbo, WA =========================================

OK, in this case it may be more a question of convenience, but if Ram has the access (ie, access to the root account) to do all these things, he would be better to either do as Gene suggested and "touch /etc/nologin" (or put some text in it: the contents are printed by login before it closes the connection), or to do it properly and run tcpwrappers, with suitably set up /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny files -- then he can control who can connect, from where, and using which protocols (telnet, rlogin, rsh/rcp, ftp, ssh, etc). If you *are* thinking of security, remember that inetd only controls some network services -- some, like SMTP, HTTP, SNMP and others, normally run as daemons in their own right. -- Pete Peter Turnbull Network Manager Dept. of Computer Science University of York

Crap, I forgot to mention that. Here I was thinking I was being cool by delivering a nice complete description of everything, and I go and screw the pooch by forgetting the most important last step. I think I'm gonna grab my cat and go back to bed. -D.

Anatomy of a VAX 6000-420

by gunther＠aurora.regenstrief.org

Hi, as promised here is my photo series on systematically disassembling a VAX 6000-420. I do not envy you poor folks who thought simply taking out the card cages and the cab kit would allow you to somehow put this back together to a working machine. Has anyone ever actually done this? Anyway, here is my VAXian anatomy page: http://aurora.regenstrief.org/VAX/anatomy BTW: I (and a few friends) am still looking for advice on how exactly to convert the power unit so as to hook a VAX 6420 on 110 V houshold power. Either 110 V single phase or 240 V 2-phase would do. I have done electronics in my youth, but I have no clue how to go about it and don't want to go trial and error :-) Any help is appreciated. regards -Gunther

All network-based services like that usually have their server-side components run by a supervisory program ("superserver") called "inetd". Inetd listens on all the ports that services are registered for, and when a connection request comes in, inetd accepts the connection, starts the required server binary, and basically hands it the socket. From then on, that connection is handled by the server binary for that particular service. This whole operation is handled by a config file called /etc/inetd.conf. It's got one line per service, and each line has many fields that control different things. The first field is the name of the service (telnet, ftp, etc). You can comment out services in that file by inserting a "#" in the very beginning of the line in question. To achieve the results you want, I would comment out the following lines: telnet (handles incoming telnet connections) ftp (handles incoming ftp connections) login (handles incoming rlogin connections) shell (handles incoming rsh and rcp connections) I hope this helps. -Dave McGuire

For networks of more than a handful of machines, it just doesn't seem to scale well enough, as nice as it is. For larger networks a central network authentication system like Kerberos is much more suitable, in my opinion. -Dave McGuire

It's trivial to write a program that iterates through all possible character combinations. Sure, it might take weeks, or even months...but then they're in. -Dave McGuire

Working Data General One laptop with spares to a good home

by Mark.DesMarais＠avocent.com

Hi! I have a DGone laptop in functional condition- two floppy drives, better LCD screen, max memory, power supply, hard carrying case. Only thing that doesn't work (as far as I know) is the battery pack. Also multiple printers, ribbons, thermal paper, a spare screen, keyboard, maybe a floppy and expansion port thingie, system boards, etc. I also have Wordstar that runs on the DGone, a few boot (MSDOS) disks, and GWBasic. Free or cost of shipping (Northboro, MA) if I get one interested party. If I have more than one, it'll be an auction to see who wants it most. If I don't hear from anyone, well, I'm afraid its dumpster time. Please email me- mark.desmarais(a)avocent.com. thanks Markd
