This file contains the most recent listing of available files in Sys_stuff as well as a short description of each. Most are GNUzipped (.gz) tar files. You will need the '../GNU_stuff/gzip_*.bin.tar.Z' file (which contains the GNUzip utility 'gzip|gunzip') to decompress these. Diff-files can be applied by using 'patch' which is available precompiled as '../Utilities/patch.bin.tar.gz' A1.README:: A text file description of all files in this directory. BNET-somax.tar.gz:: A short shell script that uses 'adb' to change the value of SOMAXCONN, the size of listen()s backlog queue limit, from 5 to 32. EPIIdr.tar.gz:: These are the drivers for the "old" EtherPortII card (full-length NuBus, based on the Intel controller). This was written for A/UX 1.1 but WILL work under 2.0.x as long as the card is used ONLY for TCP/IP communication (NO EtherTalk). Please note that there have been MANY reports of compatibility problems with the old EPII cards, this driver and the IIfx... It seems that if you have a IIfx, you really should upgrade to a different ethernet card. GNUfile.h:: Slightly hacked version of ../gcc/aux/?.?.?/include/sys/file.h for 'gcc' that makes it "fcntl.h" aware and prevents "redefine" warning messages when both header files are included. Also see 'file.h' below. NEWtc3.34.tar.gz:: A replacement for A/UX 3.x.x's 'tc' tape device driver. Fixes some bugs, adds some capabilities and support for other tape drives (such as WangDAT, WangTEK, HP and TEACs). Included is a replacement for 'mt' to support new 'tc' as well as 'tbb' to speed up backups. Version 3.34. ORIGtc.gz:: Apple's 'tc' version 1.14 for A/UX 3.0.1... just in case you lose yours when installing NEWtc :) at_interface:: Replacement for ~lp/model/at_interface, which fixes the little bug that causes multiple copies of files (at times) to be printed. For example, 'lp file.1 file.2' would print two copies of file.1 and one of file.2. Entries in ~lp/interface based on at_interface should also be patched as well. bind-4.9.3.tar.gz:: Port of the latest version of BIND/DNS (4.9.3-REL1) for A/UX. Includes precompiled binaries for A/UX 3.1.1 as well as the complete source. bsd-cut-paste.tar.gz:: Replacement version of A/UX's 'cut' and 'paste' utilities. Provided by Ken Whang. bsd-last.tar.gz:: Replacement version of A/UX's 'last' utility. Main advantage is that it also prints out the hostname of the user process. Port by Jim Jagielski and Ken Whang. devscsi:: Corrected version of /etc/install.d/init.d/devscsi which ensures that files in /dev/scsi have the correct permissions. All files in /dev/scsi should be mode '600' with owner|group 'root'|'sys'. Make sure your setup is correct. This script will keep things correct next time you rebuild the kernel. dir.h:: Slightly hacked version of dir.h to correctly define rewinddir() when _not_ using POSIX. disktab:: Compiled list of /etc/disktab entries... if you have one that isn't included here, E-mail it to jim@jagubox.gsfc.nasa.gov. dp.tar.gz:: Drivers for the newer (half-length, National controller) EtherPortII card... When Dayna sold the EPII card, they wrote these drivers for A/UX 2.0.x. Now that Shiva sells the EPII card, Dayna no longer sells the drivers and Shiva is still writing theirs... until that time, use this, which is a copy of the Dayna drivers. There have been only a FEW reports of incompatibility with the new EPII card and the IIfx. file.h:: Slightly hacked version of /usr/include/sys/file.h that makes it "fcntl.h" aware and prevents "redefine" warning messages when both header files are included. libUTIL-2.1.tar.gz:: Doing some porting but having trouble because you lack some needed functions (like memmove(), strstr() or strerror())? Worry no more! libUTIL.a is a collection of these "missing" functions, available in one easy to use archive. Included are two additional header (.h files), the archive itself, a README file, and various man-pages. libdb-1.85.tar.gz:: Port of the latest version, 1.85, of the Berkeley DB database package. Fixes some bugs (and improves performance) over the one distributed with A/UX 3.1.x. man-utils.tar.gz:: A collection of programs and scripts that make viewing and installing man pages easier. Includes a replacement for 'man', 'auxman' and 'mkwhatis' which generates a newer, up-to-date whatis database. nhd1.5.tar.gz:: A new object-oriented hard disk driver based on the Gears SCSI driver (GSD). It replaces Apple's Generic Disk Driver (GDISK) and provides nice additions and capabilities, especially with regards to CD-ROM drives. Written by Kristopher L. Tyra (ktyra%saphire@concert.net). *** I WOULD BE VERY SURPRISED IF THESE WORKED UNDER 3.0.1|2 *** poppassd.tar.gz:: Allows you to change your password from Eudora or other POP3 clients. Ported by Fred Condo (fred@lightside.net). port-tools.tar.gz:: A collection of useful porting tools for A/UX. shadow-aux-1.4.tar.gz:: Port of the shadow-password suite for A/UX. Using these programs, A/UX can now use shadow passwords for increased security!! Requires gcc and libUTIL to compile. Recommended! tbb.tar.gz:: A very nice, efficient double-buffering utility. Kinda like a double-ended 'dd'. Written by Tony Cooper. Really recommended! teac.tar.gz:: Craig Ruff's "teac" device driver. Complete with sources and instructions. telnet-aux.tar.gz:: Replacement versions (and source) for telnet and in.telnetd for A/UX. Original ports by John Coolidge, updated by Jim Jagielski. traceroute-aux.tar.gz:: Complete 'traceroute' package for A/UX 3.1(.1). Includes the updated 'bnet' driver to support traceroute, as well as _2_ versions of 'traceroute', pre-compiled to run under A/UX. uwrap.c:: A wrapper for /etc/init that protects it (and all other processes) from SIGURG signals... A MUST GET !!! vif-1.3.tar.gz:: Just the ticket for multihomed/Virtual Web Servers: the Virtual Interface kernel module for A/UX. With this module, you can add virtual interfaces to your real Ethernet interface and have your A/UX box answer to multiple IP addresses. -- =========================================================================== #include =:^) Jim Jagielski NASA/GSFC, Code 734.4 jim@jagubox.gsfc.nasa.gov Greenbelt, MD 20771 Voice: 301-286-5964 FAX: 301-286-1719 "If we increase the size of the penguin until it is the same height as a man and then compare the relative brain size, we now find that the penguin's brain is still smaller.
