- Do get the latest versions of these packages and install them but use
- the above list as the earliest versions usable.
+ Copy the CPAN modules listed above to a convenient place on your
+ computer. One good place would be /usr/local/packages, and the
+ instructions which follow will assume that that's where you have put
+ them.
+
+
+ Log in as 'root', and make sure you're at '/root' before you continue.
+ Here are exactly the commands you must issue next: -

1.2. Preparation
your own choice.
-
-
# adduser -m sysop
-
-
-
- # passwd sysop
- # New UNIX password:
- # Retype new UNIX password:
- passwd: all authentication tokens updated successfully
+ # passwd sysop
+ # New UNIX password:
+ # Retype new UNIX password:
+ passwd: all authentication tokens updated successfully
-
- # chown root ax25_call netrom_call
- # chmod 4775 ax25_call netrom_call
+ # chown root ax25_call netrom_call
+ # chmod 4775 ax25_call netrom_call
$ cd ../perl
-
-
-
Now type the following command which creates the basic user file with
you as the sysop.
-
- $ ./create_sysop.pl
+ $ ./create_sysop.pl
shutdown
-
-
-
and both the cluster and the client should return to Linux prompts.
+
1.6. The Client program
In earlier versions of Spider, all the processes were Perl scripts.
o Login as root
+
o Enter the correct line in ax25d.conf (root)
o Enter the correct line in /etc/services (root)
- GB7DJK-2 * * * * * * - sysop /spider/src/client client gb7djk-2 ax25
- default * * * * * * - sysop /spider/src/client client %u ax25
+
+ GB7DJK-2 * * * * * * - sysop /spider/src/client client gb7djk-2 ax25
+ default * * * * * * - sysop /spider/src/client client %u ax25
+
+
Assuming all is well, then try a telnet from your linux console ....
-
telnet localhost 8000
an AK1A type node.
+
Start up the cluster as you did before and login as the sysop with
client. The cluster node I am wanting to make a connection to is
GB7BAA but you would obviously use whatever callsign you required. At
- set/node gb7baa
+ set/node gb7baa
connections is therefore relatively simple.
+
The connect scripts consist of lines which start with the following
keywords or symbols:-
# All lines starting with a # are ignored, as are completely blank
lines.
+
timeout
timeout followed by a number is the number of seconds to wait
for a command to complete. If there is no timeout specified in
- timeout 60
- abort (Busy|Sorry|Fail)
- # don't forget to chmod 4775 netrom_call!
- connect ax25 /usr/sbin/netrom_call bbs gb7djk g1tlh
- # you can leave this out if you call the script 'gb7dxm'
- client gb7dxm ax25
-
-
-
timeout 60
abort (Busy|Sorry|Fail)
- # this does exactly the same as the previous example
- # the '1' is the AGW port number to connect thru for g1tlh
- connect agw 1 g1tlh
+ # don't forget to chmod 4775 netrom_call!
+ connect ax25 /usr/sbin/netrom_call bbs gb7djk g1tlh
# you can leave this out if you call the script 'gb7dxm'
client gb7dxm ax25
+ timeout 60
+ abort (Busy|Sorry|Fail)
+ # this does exactly the same as the previous example
+ # the '1' is the AGW port number to connect thru for g1tlh
+ connect agw 1 g1tlh
+ # you can leave this out if you call the script 'gb7dxm'
+ client gb7dxm ax25
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
timeout 15
connect telnet dirkl.tobit.co.uk
# tell GB7DJK-1 that it is connected to GB7DJK
