Quickie Instructions
|
|
|
|
- Edit 'conserver/cons.h' (if necessary)
|
|
|
|
- Run 'make'
|
|
|
|
- If all is well, run 'make install install.man'
|
|
|
|
- Now set up config files, etc. (see below)
|
|
|
|
Things will install in /usr/local. If you'd like to use a different
|
|
prefix, use 'make PREFIX=/your/path install'.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Detailed Instructions
|
|
|
|
- First thing to do is set up a custom conserver/cons.h file. If you
|
|
like all the defaults provided in conserver/port.h, your set.
|
|
Just use the default cons.h cons.h file. Here are some of the
|
|
more important #defines to look for:
|
|
|
|
PORT or SERVICE - Socket used to communicate
|
|
HOST - Hostname of console server
|
|
CONFIG - Config file path
|
|
PASSWD_FILE - Password file path
|
|
MAXMEMB - Number of consoles per child process
|
|
MAXGRP - Number of child processes
|
|
|
|
- Now run 'make'. If you're platform is supported you'll get a nice
|
|
message about "Configuring for ..." and the programs should compile.
|
|
If not, you'll have to adjust the settings, or slightly worse,
|
|
port the software. For adjusting the settings (like using a
|
|
different compiler or something), check out the .settings file.
|
|
'make config', which is done for you, symlinks it to port/<ostype>.
|
|
If you have to port the software, follow the instructions you
|
|
received.
|
|
|
|
- Once things build, you can run 'make install install.man'.
|
|
This will put things into the /usr/local tree. If you'd like
|
|
things deposited elsewhere, you can use 'make PREFIX=/your/path
|
|
install install.man'. We like to use something like 'make
|
|
PREFIX=/tools/conserver install install.man'.
|
|
|
|
- Now that the binaries are in place, we need to set up the
|
|
configuration files and such.
|
|
|
|
If you used a blank cons.h file or defined a service name (SERVICE
|
|
token above), you'll need to enter a definition in your services
|
|
file (directly, via NIS, or whatever). Here's what we use:
|
|
|
|
console 782/tcp conserver # console server
|
|
|
|
If you defined PORT, you shouldn't have to worry about this step.
|
|
|
|
Next, make sure conserver runs during boot. The init script
|
|
we use under Solaris is installed in <PREFIX>/etc/conserver.rc.
|
|
Use that or some form of it for your own /etc/init.d script or an
|
|
entry in startup files (/etc/rc, /etc/rc.local, or whatever).
|
|
|
|
Now for the fun stuff. You need to create a conserver.cf and
|
|
conserver.passwd file. Those are defined with the CONFIG and
|
|
PASSWD_FILE settings. If you ever need to know what values
|
|
were compiled into conserver, run 'conserver -V'. See the
|
|
conserver.cf/INSTALL file for instructions on setup of these files.
|
|
|
|
- That's it! Just start up the console server and enjoy!
