CAP 6.0
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
This distribution of CAP is an attempt to collect together all of the patches
|
|
available for cap50 and provides an opportunity to perform some very necessary
|
|
maintenance. The code contains the original "official" patches plus bug fixes
|
|
and extra features contributed by *many* people. Local configuration of the
|
|
extra features is controlled by the file 'm4.features'. For more details,
|
|
see Features below.
|
|
|
|
Other changes
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
* AUFS support for AFP 2.0 is (practically) complete (see below).
|
|
* 'Configure' will automatically recognize the host byte ordering.
|
|
* 'Configure' has support for more machines and custom local features.
|
|
* UAB is now bundled and configured with this CAP distribution.
|
|
* UAB now supports Asynchronous AppleTalk on a UNIX host.
|
|
* The format of 'atalk.local' has been extended for async appletalk.
|
|
* Zone names in 'atalk.local' MUST now be quoted to include spaces.
|
|
* A "free format" 'etalk.local' is used by EtherTalk LAPs (& UAB/UAR).
|
|
* atis is now Phase 2 NBP compatible (partial obj/type matches).
|
|
* There are more (& updated) manual entries and documentation.
|
|
* There are more contributed packages bundled with CAP.
|
|

Features
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
Additional features have been incorporated into CAP. Most of these were
|
|
supplied as patch files from a variety of sources. In addition, some changes
|
|
were made at The University of Melbourne, these changes concentrated on making
|
|
AUFS comply with AFP2.0 specifications and adding extra facilities and host
|
|
support to Configure. Currently, AUFS supports ProDOS* (Apple IIgs)
|
|
workstations running AppleTalk, the extended directory and volume attributes
|
|
and the additional error result codes. AUFS supports user editable encrypted
|
|
passwords using the DISTRIB_PASSWDS feature.
|
|
|
|
* ProDOS requires the NOCASEMATCH feature, or use of upper-case
|
|
application filenames only.
|
|
|
|
Specific host support that was new with CAP 6.0 includes ...

The features file ("m4.features") can be edited from within Configure by
|
|
answering yes to the question "Do you wish to customise the feature list ?".
|
|
The contents of the file are not processed by Configure so you can edit the
|
|
feature list at any time then (re)generate the makefiles with "./gen.makes".
|
|
To include a particular feature, uncomment (remove '#') the definition line.
|
|
|
|
The available flags, their meanings and original authors are:
|
|
|
|
SHORT_NAMES

|
|
servers and Mac applications.
|
|
Edward Moy <edmoy@violet.berkeley.edu>
|
|
SIZESERVER

Compile 'sizeserver' daemon for AUFS to obtain volume size
|
|
information. Useful with operating systems that have no
|
|
support for getmnt() or statfs() to determine the amount of
|
|
free space on a filesystem.
|
|
Edward Moy <edmoy@violet.berkeley.edu>
|
|
FIXED_DIRIDS
|
|
Implement server and AUFS code to provide support for
|
|
fixed directory and file IDs. The 'afpidsrvr' daemon must
|
|
be started before any AUFS processes. Refer to the file
|
|
"applications/aufs/afpid.notes" for more information.
|
|

|
|
Dan Oscarsson <dan@dna.lth.se>
|
|
TREL_TIMEOUT
|
|
ATP transaction release packets (TREL) can sometimes be
|
|
lost. AUFS will timeout after 30 seconds and continue with
|
|
the next request. This option adds a second request
|
|
listener to avoid the timeout delays.
|
|
Dan Oscarsson <dan@dna.lth.se>
|
|
ATPREQCACHE
|
|
Cache ATP TREQ packets to avoid 2 second wait if request
|
|

Richard Rogers <r.m.rogers@staffs.ac.uk>
|
|
USE_MAC_DATES
|
|
Keep the modification date of the Mac file intact when
|
|

|
|
be a full path name to an explanatory README file and is
|
|
linked into the top level volume of a new AUFS user.
|
|
Edward Moy <edmoy@violet.berkeley.EDU>
|
|
AUFS_IDLE_TIMEOUT
|
|
Add -i and -I options to AUFS to disconnect users who
|
|
exceed the specified idle time. -I includes all users,

|
|
file to be re-read.
|
|
Eugene Bogaart <bogaart@serc.nl>
|
|
CLOSE_LOG_SIG
|
|
A SIGUSR2 signal sent to AUFS causes the log file to be
|
|
closed and then re-opened (allows the file to be truncated,
|
|

|
|
NB: Unavailable under System V, recommended for others.
|
|
Edward Moy <edmoy@violet.berkeley.EDU>
|
|
USEDIRSETGID
|
|
Set the group ID bit on directories whose group is not the
|
|
primary group of the AUFS user. Under SunOS and System V,
|
|
new files and directories are by default created with the
|
|
primary group unless the group ID bit of the parent is set.
|
|
David Hornsby <djh@munnari.OZ.AU>
|
|
USR_FILE_TYPES
|
|
Map UNIX filename suffix to Mac Type/Creator. The map file
|
|
may be global (specified with -F option to AUFS) or per
|
|
user (~/.afpfile or ~/afpfile). The mapping also controls
|
|
the file translation method used (ascii, text or raw). See
|
|
the sample file in cap60/extras/afpfile.
|
|
David Hornsby <djh@munnari.OZ.AU> et. al.
|
|
CREATE_AFPVOL
|
|
Create the .afpvols file, .finderinfo and .resource
|
|
directories in a subdirectory (default 'mac') of the home
|
|
directory of a new AUFS user (if they don't already exist).
|
|
An alternate subdirectory/volume name is specified with
|
|
the string -DCREATE_AFPVOL=\"other\" in m4.features
|
|
Heather Ebey <hebey@ucsd.edu>
|
|
CREATE_AFPVOL_NAME (now CREAT_AFPVOL_NAM)
|
|
Modifies the CREATE_AFPVOL option to use the user/account
|
|
name for the volume label instead of the value of the
|
|
CREATE_AFPVOL variable. Assumes CREATE_AFPVOL.
|
|
Craig Zook <zook@pat.mdc.com>
|
|
NETWORKTRASH
|
|
Under System 7.0, the "Network Trash Folder" mode is set
|
|
to 0x707 (world writeable). Defining NETWORKTRASH sets the
|
|
mode to that of the parent (top level) directory.
|
|
Edward Moy <edmoy@violet.berkeley.EDU>
|
|
ISO_TRANSLATE
|
|
Translate ISO 8859 characters in command line arguments
|
|
and configuration files into their Macintosh equivalents.
|
|
Likewise translate Macintosh characters to ISO 8859 for
|
|
etalk.local zone name, log file entries.
|
|
Austin Shelton <austins@cdg.chalmers.se>
|
|
ISO_FILENAMES
|
|
Extend ISO/Mac character translation to AUFS file names
|
|
(assumes ISO_TRANSLATE is in use)
|
|
Dan Oscarsson <Dan.Oscarsson@malmo.trab.se>
|
|
ISO_FILE_TRANS
|
|
Translate ISO 8859 characters in Creator "unix", Type
|
|
"TEXT" AUFS files into Mac characters on read and vice
|
|
versa on write (assumes ISO_TRANSLATE is in use).
|
|
Dan Oscarsson <Dan.Oscarsson@malmo.trab.se>
|
|
NCS_ALL_TEXT
|
|
Apply ASCII or ISO 8859 file translation to all files of
|
|
type "TEXT", regardless of Creator.
|
|
Dan Oscarsson <Dan.Oscarsson@malmo.trab.se>
|
|
LOGIN_AUTH_PROG
|
|
Allows AUFS -L command line argument to specify an external
|
|
authorization program for AUFS logins. See man/AUFS.8
|
|
Irwin S. Tillman <irwin@phoenix.Princeton.EDU>
|
|
PSJOBHEADER
|
|
If defined, PAPIF will check for an environmental variable of
|
|
the same name. The variable specifies a file which contains
|
|
a postcript header (for example to change paper trays or
|
|
print double sided) to be sent before the print job.
|
|
Jay Plett <jay@silence.princeton.nj.us>
|
|
DUPLEXMODE
|
|
If defined, PAPIF accepts a -2 option (also if the printer
|
|
name contains -dup*) to set double sided printing. Duplex
|
|
printing must be supported by the printer hardware.
|
|
Dan Mosedale <mosedale@genome.stanford.edu>
|
|
TRANS3
|
|
Setup PAPIF for 'psdman' from the TranScript 3.0 package.
|
|
Dan Mosedale <mosedale@genome.stanford.edu>
|
|
PASS_THRU
|
|
If defined for LWSRV, print jobs will be passed through
|
|
with no Adobe pre-processing. This is useful for spoolers
|
|
providing service for PCs.
|
|
Gavin Longmuir <gavin@coombs.anu.edu.au>
|
|
DONT_PARSE
|
|
If defined for LWSRV, print jobs will be passed through
|
|
with no Adobe pre-processing at all. This is useful for
|
|
spoolers which require an unaltered file, as the PASS_THRU
|
|
option does not disable some Adobe handling. The crtolf
|
|
option will continue to work if it is enabled with this
|
|
option.
|
|
Rakesh Patel <rapatel@rutgers.edu>
|
|
LPRARGS
|
|
Allows LWSRV -L command line arguments to be passed directly
|
|
to lpr. For example, printing via TransScript without
|
|
-T quote8bit set causes option-key characters to be printed
|
|
incorrectly. Setting -T quote8bit causes binary PostScipt
|
|
(usually gray scale images) to fail. In this situation use
|
|
LWSRV argument "-L-l" to pass "-l" to lpr.
|
|
Edward Moy <edmoy@violet.berkeley.EDU>
|
|
RUN_AS_USER & USER_REQUIRED
|
|
Attempt to map Mac Chooser/Owner name to a real UNIX user
|
|
name (based on map file, eg: cap60/extras/lib.cap.macusers)
|
|
then setuid() the lwsrv session as this user. IE: lpr can be
|
|
lprm'd as normal. USER_REQUIRED must find a match otherwise
|
|
it prints a failure message eg: cap60/extras/lib.cap.refused.
|
|
NB: no password authentication is provided.
|
|
Maarten Carels <maarten@fwi.uva.nl>
|
|
PROCSET_PATCH
|
|
If defined for LWSRV, procset "patches" are not passed
|
|
through to the printer. These patches are code changes
|
|
for Apple LaserWriters and can have strange effects if
|
|
used on non-Apple printers.
|
|
Alexander Dupuy <dupuy@tiemann.cs.columbia.edu>
|
|
ULT42PFBUG
|
|
Workaround for ULTRIX 4.2 packet filter problem (see Gotchas)
|
|
David Hornsby <djh@munnari.OZ.AU>
|
|
STEAL_PORTS
|
|
Extend DDP Dynamic Socket range down into the experimental
|
|
AppleTalk socket range 64 - 128. Adds another 64 possible
|
|
sockets for server use.
|
|
Rakesh Patel <rapatel@rutgers.edu>
|
|
David Hornsby <djh@munnari.OZ.AU>
|
|
USING_FDDI_NET
|
|
Includes code to determine if interface is running on
|
|
FDDI network and adjust packets accordingly. Digital UNIX
|
|
and Ultrix only at this stage.
|
|
Conrad Huang <conrad@cgl.ucsf.edu>
|
|
NOCAPDOTPRINTERS
|
|
If defined, PAPIF will not use /etc/cap.printers, instead
|
|
the first line of the file /etc/lp/printers/lw/comment (for
|
|
printer "lw") is expected to contain a fully qualified
|
|
AppleTalk NBP name for the printer, ie: lw:LaserWriter@Zone
|
|
This option is intended for use on Solaris 2.N hosts only.
|
|
Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>
|
|
USESYSLOG
|
|
If defined, PAPIF will send Information, Warning and Debug
|
|
messages to syslog().
|
|
Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>
|
|
DISTRIB_PASSWDS
|
|
If defined, CAP will use AUFS authentication methods that
|
|
involve exchanging encrypted random numbers instead of
|
|
sending passwords in clear text over the network. Refer to
|
|
manual entries aufsmkkey.8 and aufsmkusr.8 in cap60/man.
|
|
David Hornsby <djh@munnari.OZ.AU>
|
|
AFP_DISTPW_PATH
|
|
Specifies that the distributed password files used in
|
|
DISTRIB_PASSWDS be kept in a directory other than the
|
|
user's home directory. For example, you could use the
|
|
following -DAFP_DISTPW_PATH=\"/usr/local/lib/cap/upw\"
|
|
David Hornsby <djh@munnari.OZ.AU>
|
|
AFP_DISTPW_MODE
|
|
Modifies the file mode being enforced with DISTRIB_PASSWDS.
|
|
For use when user home directories are mounted via NFS. Uses
|
|
mode 0600 by default, use 0644 with NFS.
|
|
David Hornsby <djh@munnari.OZ.AU>
|
|
DEBUG_AFP_CMD
|
|
If defined, AUFS will dump detailed logs of AFP command I/O
|
|
parameters in the file specified with the AUFS -Z option.
|
|
Use in conjunction with Inside AppleTalk 2nd edition for
|
|
debugging the AUFS AFP implementation.
|
|
David Hornsby <djh@munnari.OZ.AU>
|
|
LOG_WTMP
|
|
If defined, AUFS will write an entry into the wtmp log file
|
|
on each successful AUFS connection. Allows usage tracking.
|
|
Gavin Longmuir <Gavin.Longmuir@anu.edu.au>
|
|
Heather Ebey <heather@sdcc6.ucsd.edu>
|
|
LOG_WTMP_FILE
|
|
Specifies alternate name for the wtmp file used in LOG_WTMP.
|
|
Heather Ebey <heather@sdcc6.ucsd.edu>
|
|
ADMIN_GRP
|
|
If defined, AUFS will check if the user is a member of a
|
|
special admin group and connect them with superuser privs.
|

CAP Patches
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
The primary source of CAP information is, as always, the network newsgroup
|
|
comp.protocols.appletalk. This forum will continue to be used to disseminate
|
|
information about CAP 6.0 updates, but we would very much like to encourage a
|
|
slightly more formal approach to the process of propogating CAP patches.
|
|
|
|
Therefore, please send patches for CAP bug-fixes and new features to
|
|
|
|
cap@munnari.OZ.AU
|
|
|
|
Context diffs (from 'diff -c') are preferred, but not essential. Patches
|
|
received will be assigned a patch number, a priority and will be included in
|
|
regular (but not too frequent) CAP releases. In addition to then being sent
|
|
to comp.protocols.appletalk, the patches will be available via FTP from
|
|
|
|
munnari.OZ.AU (in mac/cap.patches)
|
|
ftp-ns.rutgers.edu (in pub/cap/cap.patches)
|
|
gatekeeper.DEC.COM (in pub/net/appletalk/cap/cap.patches)
|
|
ftp.kuis.kyoto-u.AC.JP (in net/cap/cap60.patches)
|
|
src.doc.ic.AC.UK (in mac/multigate/cap.patches)
|
|
|
|
The intent is to minimise the nightmare of trying to apply useful patches
|
|
that have come from divergent versions of the source code. Another goal is
|
|
to reduce the maintenance needed for CAP code, if the incremental patches are
|
|
applied in order, the result will be identical to any new release.
|
|
|
|
To apply the patches with an absolute minimum of effort, it is recommended
|
|
that you use the 'patch' program written by Larry Wall. This can be obtained
|
|
from sites that archive postings from the newsgroup comp.sources.unix in the
|
|
directory volume7/patch2. It is important to ensure that any patches for the
|
|
patch sources are applied, some CAP patches can fail if the unmodified patch
|
|
code is used.
|
|
|
|
The current patch level is recorded in the cap60/README file. New patches
|
|
are applied from the top level directory with the command
|
|
|
|
% patch -p < cap60.patches/cap60.patch0NN
|
|
|
|
where NN is the patch number. The -p option tells patch to obtain
|
|
information about which file to alter from the patch header (use -p0 on
|
|
a DEC Alpha under OSF/1). If you attempt to apply a patch more than once,
|
|
patch will enquire about "a reversed or previously applied patch", answering
|
|
yes to this will remove the patch, leaving the original file (and bug), this
|
|
is not good ...
|
|
|
|
|
|
CAP and AppleTalk Phase 2
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
|
|
CAP 6.0 supports EtherTalk Phase 2 using the SunOS NIT interface, the enet
|
|
packet filter (requiring kernel mods, see cap60/support/enet) and the ULTRIX
|
|
packet filter (ULTRIX 4.0 or later). It also is possible to use CAP in a
|
|
Phase 2 environment with IPTalk as indicated below.
|
|
|
|
Traditionally, the CAP transport mechanism uses UDP/IP packets. This is
|
|
called IPTalk (also known as KIP) and is a "non-extended" (1 net number
|
|
and 1 zone name) network. CAP with IPTalk can run on a LARGE variety of
|
|
UNIX platforms.
|

On some machines, CAP can also produce EtherTalk Phase 1 packets directly
|
|
(using Native EtherTalk, Kernel AppleTalk or UAB - the UNIX AppleTalk
|
|
Bridge). EtherTalk Phase 1 is also a "non-extended" network.
|
|
|
|
Macintoshes on EtherNet can speak EtherTalk Phase 1 or Phase 2. EtherTalk
|
|
Phase 2 networks are always "extended", allowing multiple network numbers
|
|
and zone names on a single cable. An "extended" network can be "restricted"
|
|
to have one net number and one zone name. This permits the Phase 2 routing
|
|
information to be translated into Phase 1 routing packet format. This is
|
|
not otherwise possible.
|
|
|
|
For completeness, LocalTalk networks can use either Phase 1 or Phase 2
|
|
AppleTalk packets, but such networks are always "non-extended".
|
|
|
|
In a brief summary of AppleTalk Phase 1 and Phase 2 differences on LocalTalk,
|
|
routing information (RTMP) packet formats are different. NBP packets allow a
|
|
new character (approxEquals or 0xc5) for partial NBP name and type matching.
|
|
Nodes are no longer required to send to the last RTMP sender that they heard
|
|
from, rather, they can choose to send to the "best" router. There are other
|
|
differences for Phase 1 and Phase 2 EtherTalk packets on EtherNet. These
|
|
differences relate mainly to delivery mechanisms.
|
|
|
|
If you use CAP with IPTalk and *NO* AppleTalk routing over IP (ie: via an
|
|
IP link between IP gateways) then you can use CAP with Phase 2, "extended"
|
|
networks with no restrictions (except of course, that you must have an
|
|
AppleTalk Gateway capable of talking IPTalk and EtherTalk Phase 2).
|
|
|
|
On the other hand, if you are using CAP and IPTalk with AppleTalk routing
|
|
over IP, or CAP with EtherTalk Phase 1, then your Phase 2 networks must all
|
|
be "restricted" and you need to have a gateway capable of operating in
|
|
"transition" mode (the problem with the first case is due to the way IPTalk
|
|
works rather than CAP. IPTalk 2 is under development and will solve this).
|
|
|
|
The gateway translates the packets from one format to another. Suitable
|
|
IPTalk/Phase 2 gateways are the Webster MultiPort Gateway (running Megan
|
|
2.1 or later) and the Shiva FastPath 4 (running KSTAR 8.0 or later). Most
|
|
earlier versions of the gateway code will happily translate from IPTalk to
|
|
either Phase 1 or LocalTalk.

Gotchas
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
There are various problems known to exist with CAP and particular UNIX
|
|
systems or programs.
|
|
|
|
ULTRIX:
|
|
You may see the error message
|
|
open: ln0: No such file or directory
|
|
when running aarpd. The problem is due to missing packet
|
|
filter devices in /dev/pf. For details on how to make the
|
|
devices, refer to the manual entry for 'packetfilter'.
|
|
|
|
ULTRIX 4.1:
|
|
There is a problem with packet filter code in ULTRIX 4.1
|
|
that prevents CAP writing packets to the network. Before
|
|
running CAP with 4.1 (on any hardware platform), request
|
|
the patched version of the file "net_common.o" from your
|
|
DEC Customer Support Center. You may also need to obtain
|
|
the updated "if_ln.o" to prevent problems with LAT.
|
|
|
|
ULTRIX 4.2/4.2A:
|
|
There are three known "problems" with packet filter code
|
|
and unicast/802.3 packet handling under ULTRIX 4.2. The
|
|
problems have been identified and fixed. Contact your
|
|
local DEC Customer Support Center and query the status
|
|
of patches for "net_common.o" and "pfilt.o". The problems
|
|
and WORKAROUNDS for UNPATCHED systems are as follows:
|
|
|
|
"unicast packets are not delivered properly to PF clients"
|
|
define COPYALL mode using 'ifconfig ... +copyall'
|
|
|
|
"802.3 (phase 2) AARP packets converted to EtherNet equiv."
|
|
apply CAP patch 75, define ULT42PFBUG in Configure
|
|
|
|
"3rd-party Mac EtherNet cards that round up odd 802.3 packets"
|
|
no workaround, requires new net_common.o, pfilt.o
|
|
with less stringent 802.3 length sanity checking.
|
|
|
|
ULTRIX 4.3
|
|
under ULTRIX V4.3 you may need to obtain a patched version of
|
|
/etc/lockd to use DENYREADWRITE code. A possible workaround is
|
|
to 'nfssetlock off' ... this will impact NFS mounted volumes.
|
|
|
|
HP/Apollo Domain BSD 4.3
|
|
Avoid using the //node/path syntax in afpvols, either
|
|
explicitly or from expansion of ~. If such a definition
|
|
appears in afpvols, the volume corresponding to it may
|
|
be visible in the Chooser but be unmountable or may not
|
|
appear in the Chooser. Other volumes defined after such
|
|
a line also may not show up in the Chooser. You may use
|
|
directories mounted on other nodes using soft links or
|
|
a path such as /../node/path. It is not clear how much of
|
|
the file locking carries over directories on other nodes.
|
|
See NOTES for avoiding the //node/path construction.
|
|
|
|
NFS
|
|
In some circumstances, CAP AUFS using NFS mounted
|
|
filesystems may complain about files being locked when
|
|
they are not obviously so. Ensure that you have the latest
|
|
NFS bugfixes for your UNIX platform.
