For dynamic hostname assignments (i.e., your -address changes each time you dial up), you probably need to do -something much fancier. - -This is just "what I did, and it worked for me". I'm sharing this -just for your reference, I'm no expert in SLIP nor networking so your -mileage may vary. - -Note: for 1.1 systems (not 1.1.5), you need to use /dev/tty01 instead -of /dev/cua01. substitute all the occurences of "cua" in this document -with "tty". - -Note: the default 1.1.5(.1) system only comes with cua/ttyd pairs for -the last two ports (2 and 3), so if your modem is at sio0/sio1 -(COM1/COM2), you need to make the devices. Try "cd /dev; sh MAKEDEV -cua01" to make the new special files for sio1 (ditto for sio0). This -will delete tty01, but you shouldn't need it anymore...or you can make -a symbolic link /dev/tty01 -> ttyd1 if you don't want to hunt down all -occurences of tty01 in your setup files. - -I actually have a symbolic link /dev/modem -> cua01 (and /dev/mouse -> -ttyd0). I use only the modem/mouse names in my configuration files. -This helped a lot when I switched from 1.1 to 1.1.5.1 (tty01 => cua01) -and when I had to move my modem temporarily to sio2 to enable the -RS-232C port on the serial card. It can become quite cumbersome when -you need to fix a bunch of files in /etc and .kermrc's all over the -system! - -First, make sure you have - -pseudo-device sl 2 - -in your kernel's config file. It is included in the GENERIC, GENERICAH -and GENERICBT kernels, so this won't be a problem unless you deleted it. - -Things you have to do only once: - -(1) Add your home machine, the gateway and nameservers to your - /etc/hosts file. Mine looks like this: - -127.0.0.1 localhost loghost -136.152.64.181 silvia.HIP.Berkeley.EDU silvia.HIP silvia - -136.152.64.1 inr-3.Berkeley.EDU inr-3 slip-gateway -128.32.136.9 ns1.Berkeley.edu ns1 -128.32.136.12 ns2.Berkeley.edu ns2 - - By the way, silvia is the name of the car that I had when I was - back in Japan (it's called 2?0SX here in U.S.). - -(2) Make sure you have "hosts" before "bind" in your /etc/host.conf. - Otherwise, funny things may happen. - -(3) Edit the /etc/netstart and add this to the end of the file: - -# set up slip -gateway=slip-gateway -ifconfig sl0 inet $hostname $gateway netmask 0xffffff00 -route add default $gateway - - Note that because of the "slip-gateway" entry in /etc/hosts, there - is no local dependency in the netstart file. Also, you might want - to un-comment the "route add $hostname localhost" line. - -(3') Make a file /etc/resolv.conf which contains: - -domain HIP.Berkeley.EDU -nameserver 128.32.136.9 -nameserver 128.32.136.12 - - As you can see, these set up the nameserver hosts. Of course, the - actual addresses depend on your environment. - -(4) Set the password for root and toor (and any other accounts that - doesn't have a password). Use passwd, don't edit the passwd or - passwd.master files! - -(5) Edit /etc/myname and reboot the machine. - -How to set up the connection: - -(6) Dial up, type "slip" at the prompt, enter your machine name and - password. The things you need to enter depends on your - environment. I use kermit, with a script like this: - -# kermit setup -set modem hayes -set line /dev/cua01 -set speed 57600 -set parity none -set flow rts/cts -set terminal bytesize 8 -set file type binary -# The next macro will dial up and login -define slip dial 643-9600, input 10 =>, if failure stop, - -output slip\x0d, input 10 Username:, if failure stop, - -output silvia\x0d, input 10 Password:, if failure stop, - -output ***\x0d, echo \x0aCONNECTED\x0a - - (of course, you have to change the hostname and password to fit - yours). Then you can just type "slip" from the kermit prompt to - get connected. - - Note: leaving your password in plain text anywhere in the - filesystem is generally a BAD idea. Do it at your own risk. I'm - just too lazy. - - Note: If you have an 1.1 machine, and kermit doesn't give you a - prompt, try "stty -f /dev/tty01 clocal". I put this in - /etc/rc.local so that it works the first time I boot the machine. - This doesn't apply to 1.1.5(.1) systems, as cua0? are already - configured for dialouts. - -(7) Leave the kermit there (you can suspend it by "z") and as root, - type - -slattach -h -c -s 57600 /dev/cua01 - - if you are able to "ping" hosts on campus, you are connected! - - If it doesn't work, you might want to try "-a" instead of "-c". - -(8) Happy slipping! - -How to shutdown the connection: - -(9) Type "ps gx" (as root) to find out the PID of slattach, and use - "kill -INT" to kill it. - - Then go back to kermit ("fg" if you suspended it) and exit from it - ("q"). - - The slattach man page says you have to use "ifconfig sl0 down" to - mark the interface down, but this doesn't seem to make any - difference for me. ("ifconfig sl0" reports the same thing.) - - Some times, your modem might refuse to drop the carrier (mine - often does). In that case, simply start kermit and quit it again. - It usually goes out on the second try. - - When you want to connect again, go back to (6). You may have to - watch out for clocal mode. If "stty -f /dev/tty01" doesn't tell - you it's clocal, you need to re-set it before kermitting. Again, - this is only for 1.1 machines. - -TROUBLESHOOTING: - -If it doesn't work, feel free to ask me. The things that people -tripped over so far: - -* Not using "-c" or "-a" in slattach (I have no idea why this can be - fatal, but adding this flag solved the problem for at least one - person) - -* Using "s10" instead of "sl0" (might be hard to see the difference on - some fonts :) - -Try "ifconfig sl0" to see your interface status. I get: - -silvia# ifconfig sl0 -sl0: flags=10<POINTOPOINT> - inet 136.152.64.181 --> 136.152.64.1 netmask ffffff00 - -Also, "netstat -r" will give the routing table, in case you get the -"no route to host" messages from ping. Mine looks like: - -silvia# netstat -r -Routing tables -Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use IfaceMTU Rtt -Netmasks: -(root node) -(root node) - -Route Tree for Protocol Family inet: -(root node) => -default inr-3.Berkeley.EDU UG 8 224515 sl0 - - -localhost.Berkel localhost.Berkeley UH 5 42127 lo0 - 0.438 -inr-3.Berkeley.E silvia.HIP.Berkele UH 1 0 sl0 - - -silvia.HIP.Berke localhost.Berkeley UGH 34 47641234 lo0 - 0.438 -(root node) - -(this is after transferring a bunch of files, your numbers should be -smaller). |
