Hello, I was just wondering if anyone here has had any experience with the above mentioned program(s) on sequents. I have installed the program on 20 machines around my office area to keep track of who does what on what mahcine, but when it comes to iunstalling the software on the main (mostly used and tried to be hacked) machine it will not work properly :-( I have a Sequent Symmetry S27 running PTX (1.3) soon to be upgraded to PTX 2.0. When the tcpd program is running it reports that something has happeneed, it just will not tell me the most important part... WHERE the call originated from. This is what I get: Jan 22 11:56:54 win4 rpc.rusersd[8989]: connect from unknown Jan 22 11:41:41 win4 telnetd[8939]: connect from unknown Jan 22 11:04:55 win4 rlogind[7799]: connect from unknown Can anyone help?? I beleive if could be falling down at the getpeername() function, but I am not sure.. The function always returns a -1 but it might be getting the wrong information in the first place and thus not working because of misinformation.. Thanks ANYHELP would be appreciated... brett --- Brett Sivies e-mail: brett@win4.vut.edu.au IRC: Supreme brett@win3.vut.edu.au Systems Programmer Phone: 61 03 365 2112 Victoria University of Tech.

If you're using tcpd from inetd, then getpeername() will *not* work. The inetd in ptx/TCP passes a TLI endpoint, not a socket so the correct routine to call is getpeerinaddr(). I have personally had success making "sockety" programs work from inetd by popping "timod" off the stream and pushing "sockmod". Your mileage however might vary and this is not an official Sequent recommendation, purely personal observation from one too lazy to want to change his sockets-using programs to use TLI instead :-) You obviously would not want to do this to tcpd 'cos you'd break all the programs that get called underneath !
