.TH MACUSER 1L Macintosh/UNIX_Messages CAP
|
|
.SH NAME
|
|
macuser \- Macintosh Messages for UNIX users.
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.BI macuser
|
|
[-dadpn] [userlist ...]
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
If run by the super user (from 'rc.local' or 'start-cap-servers')
|
|
.BI macuser
|
|
registers each of its arguments on the AppleTalk network as
|
|
"user@host:macUser@*". Ordinary users cannot provide a user list
|
|
- the user login name is used instead.
|
|
.BI macuser
|
|
then listens for messages sent from Macintosh
|
|
or UNIX users and forwards them to the designated recipient (writing to
|
|
the users' terminal if logged in, or by sending email if not).
|
|
.PP
|
|
.BI macuser
|
|
provides equivalent UNIX functionality to the
|
|
Macintosh Control Panel document "Messages" which receives and displays
|
|
short messages on Macs.
|
|
"Messages DA" is used to lookup users, edit and send messages from
|
|
the Macintosh. UNIX equivalence is provided by the commands listed in SEE
|
|
ALSO.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.BI macuser
|
|
is a messaging system ONLY, it
|
|
is not intended to monitor login activity and cannot be used to check that
|
|
a UNIX user is actually present.
|
|
.SH FILES
|
|
None.
|
|
.SH SEE ALSO
|
|
CAP (Columbia AppleTalk Package)

|
.SH DIAGNOSTICS
|
|
"No permission to register name" if run by a non super-user with a user list.
|
|
.SH BUGS
|
|
1. The messages system was implemented in two parts on the Macintosh
|
|
to allow the use of "Messages DA" to be restricted in a student environment.
|
|
.br
|
|
2. Messages are limited to about 550 bytes less 128 for any included ICON.
