Nice and Needed Daemons for use under A/UX

This file contains the most recent listing of available files in Daemons as well as a short description of each. Most are GNUzipped (.gz) tar files. You will need GNUzip to decompress these.

Diff-files can be applied by using patch.

File Descriptions
A text file description of all files in this directory.

Old in.ftpd
This is a port of an earlier version of in.ftpd. This version logs all uses of ftp into your machine and pays extra close attention when someone logs in via anonymous ftp, logging a great deal of info via syslogd. It includes updates to /usr/include/arpa/*.h files for A/UX 2.0, 2.0.1 and 3.0.x. Globbing in this version is fixed. The WUARCHIVE ftpd-server is better :)

sendmail 5.65
This is a port of sendmail ver 5.65 for A/UX. If you are running an older version of A/UX, this updates sendmail to 5.65. It's also useful for later A/UX's since it's been hacked to look in /etc/hosts for hostname/IP-address info if the nameserver can't find any, which is very useful!

smail 3.1.28 patches for A/UX
Tar package that contains patches and suggestions to be applied to smail 3.1.28 to compile for use under A/UX. smail is an _excellent_ replacement for sendmail. You can snag the complete source from ftp.uu.net in pub/networking/mail.

INN config.data file #1
Having trouble compiling INN. Here's a copy of INN's config.data file for A/UX. Provided by Richard Todd (rmtodd@skywalker.ecn.uoknor.edu).

INN config.data file #2
Having trouble compiling INN. Here's a copy of INN's config.data file for A/UX. Provided by Chris North (cnorth@cambridge.apple.com).

INN config.data file #3
Having trouble compiling INN. Here's a copy of INN's config.data file for A/UX. Provided by Peter Brewer (brewer@hamlet.umd.edu).

INN config.data file for cc
For those who want (or need!) to compile INN with cc, here's a copy of an INN config.data file just for that. It requires the INN.loadave.c.-cc package as well. From Fred Condo (fred@covina.lightside.com).

Replacement loadave.c for INN
Replacement for INN's loadave.c when you are compiling INN with cc instead of gcc. From Fred Condo (fred@covina.lightside.com).

README for inetd
Short little README file for the latest replacement version of inetd for A/UX.

bind/named 4.9.5
Complete source and binary package for BIND/Named-4.9.5 for A/UX 3.1.1

"secure" fingerd for A/UX
This is a port of the latest version of in.fingerd. Basically, the big difference is that it logs all finger requests via the syslogd daemon.

gated-2.1 Patches
Patches that add support to the official gated v2.1 (patchlevel 3) distribution for A/UX. Tested under A/UX 2.0.1 but will most probably work with later versions.

HTTPD server for A/UX
Port of the latest WWW server, httpd v1.3, for A/UX. Precompiled and with all needed files to run it "right away" on your system. Be sure to read the included AUX_README file though...

Replacement inetd for A/UX
BSD/Reno version of 'inetd' ported for A/UX 3.x.x. Includes some very nice features such as running daemons as any user, passing arguments to daemons and rereading of /etc/servers upon receiving a SIGHUP signal. Newer version will also try to read inetd.conf if servers doesn't exist and provides host access control a.la. tcpd (tcp_wrappers). Ported|maintained by Jim Jagielski.

ntalk.tar.gz
Port of the "new" (BSD 4.3) versions of talk and talkd. The are created as "ntalk" and "ntalkd" so that you don't loose previous compatibility. Port by Steve Green (xrsbg@dirac.gsfc.nasa.gov).

pcnfsd v2
Port of v2 of the the pcnfsd daemon for A/UX. Should work better than the version supplied with A/UX.

popper-aux.tar.gz
Port of the Popper server for A/UX. By Ben Goran (ben@tux.fa.asu.edu).

shadow-popper
The 'popper' package changed to support shadow-passwords under A/UX.

portmapper
Replacement of /etc/portmap for A/UX 3.1(.1). Secure version uses tcp_wrapper access control. Port of Wietse Venema (wietse@wzv.win.tue.nl) portmapper 4.

slipdaemon.tar.gz
A neat little daemon that is used to maintain a SL/IP connection. Very useful! Provided by Alan Friedman (alan@kether.intellint.com)

Replacement syslogd for A/UX
Replacement of syslogd (and syslog.h) for A/UX. Needed since A/UX's syslogd doesn't handle 'news' facility very well :) Based on BSD/Reno version - ported by Jim Jagielski.

tcp_wrappers
Port of Wietse Venema (wietse@wzv.win.tue.nl) tcp_wrappers for A/UX 3.1(.1)

WUARCHIVE FTPD server for A/UX
Port of the latest version (2.4) of the wuarchive ftp-server daemon (wu-ftpd) for A/UX. Lots of neat extras: recommended! Requires 'gcc' to compile.

xntpd Time Server for A/UX
Port of the XNTPD time server daemon for A/UX. xntpd is a full featured server that keeps you clock in sync with various clocks on the net... easy to maintain 20ms accuracy.

"If we increase the size of the penguin until it is the same height as a man
 and then compare the relative brain size, we now find that the penguin's
 brain is still smaller. But, and this is the point, it is larger than it WAS!"
