It certainly can.

Create a port with the comand

latcp -A -p /dev/lat/myport -Hdecserver -Vdecserver

and choose a program to connect to /dev/lat/myport. minicom and microcom work just fine. If the port is queued then add -Q to the end of that command.

Of course, you'll have to set up the service on the DECserver first.

Hi there!

name: Wim Fournier
From: The Netherlands
email:wi...@us...
job: Unix Consultant - sys admin

Question:

As I understand from the README, latd is meant to serve decserver services (to
serve = to live ;-))
So is it true that I can't do it the other way around yet?
I want to access the devices at the serial ports of the decserver via
ethernet.. say via a decnet 'router'...

can this be done yet??

Yet, all the other protocols in the DECnet suite were public?

Doesn't really make sense to me...

Not really. I have been searching the patent archives for DEC's terminal server
entries and one is just a description of a terminal server in general and one
concerns the "slot" system in use by LAT. Of course it had to be a simple 
protocol because there was not enough memory or CPU power in a DECserver 100
to fit a complicated one into !

I can understand why it was kept proprietary - it was just the prevailing mood
at the time. But the patents make no more sense to me that any other of the
"obvious" patents that the US office grants so freely :-(

Of course, they're not enforceable here in Europe so <f.x. rasberry>!

I've been wondering...  LAT looks like a fairly simple protocol.  The
most 'innovative' element seems to be the way it reduce LAN traffic
my aggregating users' keystrokes for sessions going to the same host
(if I understand it correctly).

Why were they so insistent on keeping it proprietary?

Patrick, have you discovered any deeper meaning to all of this?

Yup.  Had to tell the kernel to tell the NIC to use a DECnet-style
ethernet address (in Red Hat, add MACADDR=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx to 
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg=eth0 and ifdown/ifup eth0).

I don't know if this works with all NICs, though.

Thank you for those kind words. I am surprised and gratified at the amount of feedback I get for latd. I thought it would be a very minor piece of software but it's generated almost as much interest as the whole DECnet suite!

This is a problem with the PTYs on RedHat - if you comment out
-DOLDSTUFF in the Makefile then latd will use the /dev/pts PTYs and it should all work fine. My Debian system doesn't suffer from this so I assume it's Red Hat specific.

I don't have a DS90L+, I had an email from Kenn in Ireland who has one and his didn't work. In the end it turned out that the DECserver would only talk to devices whose MAC address looked like DEC ones! so he changed his MAC address and I believe it is OK now.

I would like to fix the problem you are seeing though, a full tcpdump and the debug output from latd compiled -DVERBOSE_DEBUG should help. If you could get a DECserver to England easily it would make things even easier for me!

That sounds nice - I always thought of latd as part of a cluster console system! That's roughly what I use it for at home.

Once latd reaches 1.0(or maybe even 0.9) I will start releasing binaries in rpm and deb format so that will make life easier for those people who don't fancy compiling their own binaries.

[Linux-decnet-user] LATD 0.8

[Patrick C. <pa...@pa...>]

I am pleased to annouce the release of LATD 0.8.

This release is feature-complete for 1.0 so please report any bugs you find -
the plan is to do a bug-fix 0.9 and then release a 1.0 shortly afterwards 
depending on how many problems people find.

Here is the NEWS entry:

- Don't die if a terminal server user presses ^C
- Added groups for incoming and outgoing services
- latcp is no longer on the path in latd.conf. Instead use the environment
  variable $LATCP to invoke latcp.
- Added support for queued outgoing connections
- Don't accept services until latcp has finished

For those who have been avoiding the software because it was classified Alpha
or Beta please give it a go and let me know how you get on. Here is the feature
list:

- Provides LAT login services (you can log onto Linux from a DECserver)
- Can have multiple login services with different service ratings
- Static and dynamic service ratings are supported
- Provides Reverse-LAT. "devices" in /dev/lat/ can be used to connect to
  advertised services on a DECservers or VMS/Tru64 hosts
- Provides queueing facility for reverse LAT ports. Useful for printers
- Can provide a node responder service for small-memory DECservers
- Full featured latcp control program - most internal parameters can be
  changed onthe fly
- A script is run at daemon startup to provide customisation
- man pages for all programs and config files
- Group codes can be used for to restrict incoming and outgoing sessions
- User-space daemon. No kernel patching or recompiling necessary
- Does not need DECnet support from the kernel or libraries

Re: Antwort: Re: [Linux-decnet-user] fal problem (but Phase V)

[Patrick C. <pa...@pa...>]

Having re-read the spec (and checked Steve's 2.3 code!) I think I understand 
what is happening now - though why it doesn't fail on my network is still
a little mysterious!

This little patch (to the last patch I sent you) should address the issue. If
it doesn't can you please send me tcpdumps of VAX->VAX and VAX->Linux 
communication so I can compare the two.

If it does work then I'll release a new full patch.

Re: Antwort: Re: [Linux-decnet-user] fal problem (but Phase V)

[Patrick C. <pa...@pa...>]

Thanks for the reply. I'm now rather confused. My current kernel (2.2.16 with 
the patch I last sent you) works fine to my VMS 7.2 DECnet/Phase V system.

That's ot to say I disbelieve you, I certainly do. Your symptoms are consistant
with my reasons for issuing the optfil patch in the first place. Of course
when I issued that patch it was because I was seeing those problems with
my phase V system. But now I'm not :-(

This needs some careful thought and possibly some tcpdumps. If you have chance
could you please send me a tcpdump of the problem communication from VAX to
Linux and a similar dump showing communication between VAX and another VAX.
Please do tcpdump -x -s1600 as the packet decoding for DECnet is not very good!

Just not sending optfil when communicating on some directions is not an option
I'm afraid because it's not always obvious what the direction is at that
level. There must be something else, more fundamentally wrong in the packets.

If anyone else on the list is using Phase V, please could you post your
experiences here so we can compare. Thanks,

Patrick

It was a belt and braces approach to make sure that byte sized objects
were always made into unsigned short sized objects before the byteswap.
I added that bit last night after reading one of Patrick's comments about
something that he'd found, but thinking about it now, its probably not
required; putting the casts in the macros is fine and then I'm 100% sure of
whats going on.

thats fine, don't worry about it. I'm always happy to accept comment and
criticism :-) If you spot anything else which looks like it needs sorting out
in the DECnet code, just let me know and I'll add it to my TODO list,

Before I apply this I would like to make a cleanup request.

Why all the nasty (unsigned short) etc. casts all over the place?
That looks ugly, so why not hide the ugly casts in the byte swapping
macros, ok?

I probably would have normally let something small like this
go since we're so close to 2.4.x final, but this just stood

[Linux-decnet-user] Latest DECnet bug fixes

[Steve W. <st...@gw...>]

Hi,

below is my latest bug fix patch for DECnet. I've spotted several other things
which need looking at again when I put this together. This patch includes:

 o Patrick's SPARC DECnet endianess fixes 
 o One or two endianess things that I spotted
 o Fixes where various things were referenced after they were free()d

Judging by the code in ipv4/route.c there are a number of features which
I should transfer into the DECnet code too at some point. There will be
another patch shortly with a few more fixes in it.

Dave: Please queue this for inclusion in the next kernel patch

Thanks,

Steve.

[Linux-decnet-user] Re: [Dapfs for kernel 2.3.99-pre5

[Steve W. <st...@gw...>]

Hi,

I did indeed look though the source, not just at the bit that you pointed
out to me, but also the sendmsg() function and one or two other places
as well. I didn't manage to spot what was going wrong at all. I think I
need to look again. I'll try and find the time this weekend as I've got one
or two bits queued up to roll into a patch,

Steve.

[Linux-decnet-user] RE: [Dapfs for kernel 2.3.99-pre5

[Mauricio M. <MM...@ex...>]

That's great news.... Because I'm having a real hard time getting these
patches installed manually.

I"ve tried 2.3.50 and now I'm trying 2.3.42 again.

I would love to have the latest patch for the DECnet protocol and the dapfs.
(Hopefully for the same kernel version)

Thanks for any help you can provide,

Mauricio

		I wrote dapfs for kernel 2.3.99-pre5.

		Steve: Did you write the patch I suggest you for the DECnet
kernel?
		As soon as I have it I will release the new dapfs patch for
kernel 2.3.99.

[Linux-decnet-user] Re: [Dapfs for kernel 2.3.99-pre5

[Eduardo S. <ems...@ho...>]

I wrote dapfs for kernel 2.3.99-pre5.

Steve: Did you write the patch I suggest you for the DECnet kernel?
As soon as I have it I will release the new dapfs patch for kernel 2.3.99.

Re: [Linux-decnet-user] FW: Linux Kernel 2.3.42

[Steve W. <st...@gw...>]

Hi,

its very useful to know that the break is around 2.3.99-pre7. It will
be very helpful when I come to try and fix this. Dapfs was never in
a mainstream kernel - it probably should go in to 2.5 when its been
updated to use the new VFS functions,

Thanks,

Steve.

Re: [Linux-decnet-user] FW: Linux Kernel 2.3.42

[ecc <ec...@cy...>]

Steve,

I responded earlier but forgot copy-all.

I have had problems with kernels higher than 2.3.99-pre7 I believe.
My last stable kernel (my configuration) is 2.3.51 which I am using now.
I noticed dapfs was dropped from the kernel sometime.
2.4.0-test1 definetily will lock my pc sooner or later, I really do not have any
valuable details.
All I know is that I see my video break slightly atop my screen,
once I see that I know I am gone!!

Re: [Linux-decnet-user] FW: Linux Kernel 2.3.42

[Steve W. <st...@gw...>]

Hi,

I should explain the situation with the DECnet patches a bit since its
not at all obvious and seems to be causing confusion. The very latest
DECnet code is whats in the 2.4.0test1-ac15 kernel (or whatever is the
latest at the moment). This is by far the most stable code thats around
so far as I know. One or two people have said there are stability problems
with it though... I've not had a chance to investigate this yet, but its on
my TODO list for when I get some nice computers to test it with (sometime
shortly).

The patches on my ftp site at the Swansea University Computer Society
site for 2.3.xx kernels are of historical interest only, they have all
been integrated into the mainstream kernels.

For 2.2 kernels, there are two sets of patches. The one I wrote which
followed the 2.3 kernel patches for a while but are generally unmaintained
now, since I've been putting all my efforts into the 2.3 code, and the patch
set from sourceforge which were originally written by Eduardo and are
now maintained by Patrick.

What I'd suggest is that if you really need dapfs and a 2.3 kernel, then you 
do either one of these two things:

 1. Get 2.3.43 and patch it woth dapfs and backport the DECnet bug fixes from
    the latest kernels _or_
 2. Get the latest kernel and fix dapfs to work with the newer VFS
    functions

If you select option two, then please send in the patches to us :-)

Steve.

RE: [Linux-decnet-user] FW: Linux Kernel 2.3.42

[Mauricio M. <MM...@ex...>]

I have located the latest DECnet code "decnet-2.3.50.diff.gz" at Steve
Whitehouse's ftp site (ftp://ftp.sucs.swan.ac.uk/pub/Linux/DECnet/
<ftp://ftp.sucs.swan.ac.uk/pub/Linux/DECnet/> ).

I've downloaded Kernel 2.3.50 and patched the decnet portion.  That all
works fine.

Looks like Kernel 2.3.50 doesn't have dapfs support.. so I'm going to have
to try and manually patch the dapfs portion.

Hope this works,

Mauricio

RE: [Linux-decnet-user] FW: Linux Kernel 2.3.42

[Mauricio M. <MM...@ex...>]

So if I understand correctly.  I could compile with experimental and be able
to select DECnet OR I could download the latest kernel and manually attempt
to put in the dapfs entries based on what in the 2.3.42 patch?

		> The dapfs patch really needs looking at again to fix the

What is the latest decnet code?  The newest one I see on the download page
is Kernel patch for Linux 2.2.14 & dapfs pre-release
<http://linux-decnet.sourceforge.net/dnk2214.tgz>  

Which is much older than the 2.3.42 kernel.

Is there another download site for the DECnet code that I am unaware of?

Thanks for you help,

Mauricio

Re: [Linux-decnet-user] FW: Linux Kernel 2.3.42

[Steve W. <st...@gw...>]

Hi,

the VFS layer in the 2.3 kernels has changed a lot. That dapfs patch for 2.3.42
almost certainly won't work with later kernels. On the other hand there
have been several DECnet bugs which have been corrected since 2.3.42 so the
latest kernels have better DECnet code.

Did you say yes to the CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL option ? At some stage I moved
DECnet from being CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL to being a standard option in the
network protocol configuration, but it may not have been until after 2.3.42,
I really can't remember which version it was now. The DECnet network
protocol is a seperate option to the dapfs filesystem whichever kernel
you are running.

The dapfs patch really needs looking at again to fix the things which have 
changed in the VFS, although you could try backporting the latest DECnet
code into a 2.3.42 kernel and see if that works for you,

Steve.
