At the moment, anybody can connect inwards at any time from outside, either by ax25 or by + telnet (assuming you have followed the instructions in installation + instructions. However, in order to connect outwards, you will need to create connect scripts. + +

Connect scripts live in the /spider/connect directory and are simple ascii scripts + that are written using a normal editor. There are a couple of examples in the issue directory. + +

Here are a couple of basic types, first a telnet connection:- +

+    timeout 15
+    # this is a comment
+    connect telnet dirkl.tobit.co.uk
+    'login' 'gb7djk'
+    'word' 'gb7djk'
+    client /usr/bin/perl /spider/perl/client.pl gb7djk-1 telnet
+

and an ax25 example:- +

+    timeout 60
+    abort (Busy|Sorry|Fail)
+    # don't forget to chmod 4775 netrom_call!
+    connect ax25 /usr/sbin/netrom_call bbs gb7djk g1tlh
+    'Connect' ''
+    'Connect' 'c np7'
+    'Connect' 'c gb7dxm'
+    'Connect' ''
+    client /usr/bin/perl /spider/perl/client.pl gb7dxm ax25
+

+ +

A connection is started manually by typing in connect on a sysop enabled + client.pl session. For example:- +

+    G1TLH de GB7DJK 13-Dec-1998 2041Z > connect gb7djk-1
+    connection to GB7DJK-1 started
+    G1TLH de GB7DJK 13-Dec-1998 2043Z > 
+

+ +

You can watch the progress of the connection (if you have the standard debugging enabled) on the + cluster.pl screen and you should see something like this:- +

+    <- D G1TLH connect gb7djk-1
+    -> D G1TLH connection to GB7DJK-1 started
+    -> D G1TLH G1TLH de GB7DJK 13-Dec-1998 2046Z >
+    timeout set to 15
+    CONNECT sort: telnet command: dirkl.tobit.co.uk
+    CHAT "login" -> "gb7djk"
+    received "
+    Red Hat Linux release 5.1 (Manhattan)
+    Kernel 2.0.35 on an i586
+    "
+    received "login: "
+    sent "gb7djk"
+    CHAT "word" -> "gb7djk"
+    received "gb7djk
+ 
+    "
+    received "Password: "
+    sent "gb7djk"
+    Connected to GB7DJK-1, starting normal protocol
+    <- O GB7DJK-1 telnet
+    -> B GB7DJK-1 0
+    GB7DJK-1 channel func  state 0 -> init
+    <- D GB7DJK-1 
+    <- D GB7DJK-1 Last login: Sun Dec 13 17:59:56 from dirk1
+    <- D GB7DJK-1 PC38^GB7DJK-1^~
+    <- D GB7DJK-1 PC18^ 1 nodes, 0 local / 1 total users  Max users 0  Uptime 0 00:00^5447^~
+    etc
+

+ +

The connect scripts consist of lines which start with the following keywords or symbols:- +

# All lines starting with a # are ignored, as are wholly blank lines. +
timeout followed by a number is the number of seconds to wait for a command + to complete. If there is no timeout specified in the script then the default is 60 seconds. +
abort is a regular expression containing one or more strings to look for to abort a + connection. This is a perl regular expression and is executed ignoring case. +
connect followed by ax25 or telnet and some type dependent information. In + the case of a telnet connection, there can be up to two parameters, the first is the ip + address or hostname of the computer you wish to connect to and the second is the port number you + want to use (this can be left out if it is a normal telnet session). +
In the case of an ax25 session then this would normally be a call to ax25_call + or netrom_call as in the example above. It is your responsibility to get your node + and other ax25 parameters to work before going down this route! +
' or " are the delimiting characters for a chat type script. They normally + come in pairs, either can be empty. Each line reads input from the connection until it sees the string + (or perl regular expression) contained in the left hand string. If the left hand string is empty then + it doesn't read or wait for anything. The comparison is done ignoring case. +
When the left hand string has found what it is looking (if it is) then the right hand string is + sent to the connection. +
This process is repeated for every line of chat script. +
client starts the client program and should be exactly as you would want it with an incoming + connection. +

Installing DX Spider on RedHat 5.1

Iain Phillips G0RDI

-Last modified: Wed Dec 2 18:19:38 GMT 1998 - - -

This version of dxspider requires perl5 (it is written entirely in perl5 and - makes extensive use of perl objects). This program is known to work with - RedHat 5.1 perl5_004.

- -

In addition to the standard perl5 distribution you will require to load the - the following modules:-

- -

CPAN - this has a load of the standard extra stuff in it. To load it type:- - -
```
-  # perl -MCPAN -e shell
-  cpan> install Bundle::CPAN
-  cpan> q
-     
```
- -
Please sure there were no errors, be particularly careful when installing - libwww stuff, I would suggest 'no host lookups' and pressing <space> and - enter for each of the offered default hostnames.
- -
I have monitored a typical load of CPAN which you can - look at here
- -
Date::Parse, MLDBM, IO::Select - -
As you have so carefully loaded it, I suggest you use the CPAN system - above:-
-
```
-  # perl -MCPAN -e shell
-  cpan> install Date::Parse
-  ..
-  ..
-  cpan> install MLDBM
-  ..
-  ..
-  cpan> install IO::Select
-        
```
-
In order to use IO::Select you will need to
-
```
-  # cd /root/.cpan/build/IO-1.20  
-  # make install UNINST=1
-        
```
-
The 'cd' is to the place where CPAN sets up its local cache. The example - shown is for Linux defaults.
- -
select a user to run the cluster as UNDER _NO_ CIRCUMSTANCES USE ROOT. - -
I say again DO NOT USE root.
- -
Pick an existing user or create a new one. Don't care which. I don't know - your security requirements.
- -
login as root (I shall use 'jim' for any examples).
- -

type in the following:- -

-   # cd ~jim
-   # tar xvfz spider-x.x.tar.gz
-   # ln -s ~jim/spider /spider
-   # groupadd -g 251 spider       (or another number)
-   # vi /etc/group                (or your favorite editor)
-

- -

add jim (or whatever) and root to the group spider - it should look something like:-

- -

-     spider:x:251:jim,root
-     :x
-   # chown -R jim.spider spider
-   # find . -type d -exec chmod 2775 {} \;
-   # find . -type f -exec chmod 775 {} \;
-

This last step allows various users of group spider to have write - access to all the directories. Not really needed for now but will - be useful when web interfaces start to appear.

- -

if you have any users that require network logins, set them up as real - users with useradd -m <callsign>. Alter the default .bashrc so that it - contains just one line (assuming you use the default bash shell). - -
```
-		exec /spider/perl/client.pl <callsign> telnet
-		
```
- -
Don't forget to give them a real password. This is really for network - cluster logins. The telnet argument does two things, it sets the EOL - convention to \n rather than AX25's \r and it automatically reduces - the privilege of the <callsign> to a 'safe[r]' level.
- -

for incoming AX25 connections you are expected to have got the AX25 - utilities setup, tested and working. See the AX25-HOWTO for more info - on this - it really is outside the scope of this document. I would - recommend using ax25-utils-2.1.42a-5.i386.rpm or above as a starting - point. DXSpider uses ax25d for incoming connections. You need to have - entries like this:- -

+Last modified: Sun Dec 13 22:00:19 GMT 1998
+
+This HOWTO describes the installation for DX Spider v1.11 on a "vanilla" Red Hat 5.1 platform, and assumes that you have started with a clean disk, with nothing other than the standard Red Hat 5.1 distribution. I always select 'everything', and that seems to ensure that nothing is missed out :-) 
+In addition to the standard Red Hat distribution you will require the following CPAN modules: -

+
+
+MD5-1.7.tar.gz 

+Data-Dumper-2.10.tar.gz 

+FreezeThaw-0.3.tar.gz 

+MLDBM-2.00.ar.gz 

+TimeDate-1.8.tar.gz 

+IO-1.20.tar.tgz 

+Net-Telnet-3.01.tar.gz

+  
+
+
+You'll also need the AX25 utility package. There is much debate about what is "best", what is "better". What works for 5.1 is this: -

+
+
+ax25-utils-2.1.42a-1.i386.rpm
+
+
+This can be found at (among other places) ftp://contrib.redhat.com. Note that no attempt is made within this document to describe the steps necessary to install and commission the AX25 kernel package. It remains the responsibility of the reader to have sufficient knowledge and expertise to make this part of the system operation (and to be satisfied that it is operational) before attempting to install DX Spider. Read the AX25-HOWTO and ask around if you
+ still have trouble after that.
+The last "must have" is the DX Spider distribution itself, and this is available via: -

+
+
+http://www.dxcluster.org
+ 
+
+
+
+
+Copy the CPAN modules listed above to a convenient place on your computer. For no good reason, I put mine in /usr/local/packages, and the instructions which follow will assume that that's where yours are, too.
+Log in as 'root', and make sure you're at '/root' before you continue. Here are exactly the commands you must issue next: -
+# tar xvfz /usr/local/packages/MD5-1.7.tar.gz
+# cd MD5-1.7
+# make Makefile.PL
+# make test
+# make install
+# cd ..
+#
+# tar xvfz /usr/local/packages/Data-Dumper-2.10.tar.gz
+# cd Data-Dumper-2.10
+# make Makefile.PL
+# make test
+# make install
+# cd ..
+#
+# tar xvfz /usr/local/packages/FreezeThaw-0.3.tar.gz
+# cd FreezeThaw-0.3
+# make Makefile.PL
+# make test
+# make install
+# cd ..
+#
+# tar xvfz /usr/local/packages/MLDBM-2.00.tar.gz
+# cd MLDBM-2.00
+# make Makefile.PL
+# make test
+# make install
+# cd ..
+#
+# tar xvfz /usr/local/packages/TimeDate-1.08.tar.gz
+# cd TimeDate-1.08
+# make Makefile.PL
+# make test
+# make install
+# cd ..
+#
+# tar xvfz /usr/local/packages/IO-1.20.tar.gz
+# cd IO-1.20
+# make Makefile.PL
+# make test
+# make install UNINST=1
+# cd ..
+#
+# tar xvfz /usr/local/packages/Net-Telnet-3.01.tar.gz
+# cd Net-Telnet-3.01.tar.gz
+# make Makefile.PL
+# make test
+# make install
+# cd ..
+#
+
+Do not fall into the trap of thinking they're all the same, just because they nearly are! Pay particular attention to the instructions of IO, above.
+Create a user to run the cluster under. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES USE ROOT

+Again: DO NOT USE root.
+In the instructions which follow, it is assumed that this user is called 'sysop'. You may call it anything you wish. Depending upon your security requirements, you may choose to use an existing user. This will be your choice, not ours!
+# adduser -m sysop
+Now set a password for the user:-
+#
+# passwd sysop
+# New UNIX password:
+# Retype new UNIX password:
+passwd: all authentication tokens updated successfully
+# Do not fall into the trap of thinking they're all the same, just because they nearly are! Pay particular attention to the instructions of IO, above.
+Now unpack the DX Spider distribution, set symbolic links and group permissions like this (assumes that the version we're interested in is 1.9. The distribution tar file may be named slightly differently in your case: -
+# cd ~sysop
+# tar xvfz spider-1.9.tar.gz
+# ln -s ~sysop/spider /spider
+# groupadd -g 251 spider       (or another number)
+# vi /etc/group                (or your favorite editor)
+
+add 'sysop', your own callsign (in my case 'g0rdi' - which will be used as an alias) and 'root' to the group spider. The result should look something like:-
+spider:x:251:sysop,g0rdi,root
+Next step is to set permissions on the 'spider' directory tree and files:-
+# chown -R sysop.spider spider
+# find . -type d -exec chmod 2775 {} \;
+# find . -type f -exec chmod 775 {} \;
+
+This last step allows various users of group spider to have write access to all the directories. Not really needed for now but will be useful when web interfaces start to appear.
+Should you have any users that require network logins, set them up as real users with 'useradd -m <callsign>'. Alter the default .bashrc so that it contains just one line (assuming you use the default bash shell). 
++exec /spider/perl/client.pl <callsign> telnet
+
+Alternatively you can set up a real login for a person (or another cluster) by creating a login using:-
+
+# useradd gb7djk
+# passwd gb7djk
+New UNIX password: 
+Retype new UNIX password: 
+passwd: all authentication tokens updated successfully
+
+and editing the /etc/passwd file to look like this (do substitute the correct callsigns here ;-):-
+
+fbb:x:505:505::/home/fbb:/bin/bash
+gb7djk:x:506:506::/home/gb7djk:/usr/bin/perl /spider/perl/client.pl gb7djk telnet
+
+Don't forget to give them a real password. This is really for network cluster logins. The telnet argument does two things, it sets the EOL convention to \n rather than AX25's \r and it automatically reduces the privilege of the <callsign> to a 'safe[r]' level.). 
+As mentioned earlier, for AX25 connections you are expected to have the AX25 utilities installed, setup, tested and working. See the AX25-HOWTO for more info on this - it really is beyond the scope of this document DX Spider uses ax25d for incoming connections. You need to have entries like this:-

now log in again (as 'sysop') or start another rxvt or xterm

The cluster and the client should both go back to prompts - -

Restart the cluster. - -

The callsigns should be the sysop callsign and the cluster callsign - as per your modified DXVars.pm. You can check that the cluster - connections will work by:- -

+   $ client.pl
+

at the cluster prompt (which will look something like):-

+   G1JIM de GB7JIM 12-Dec-98 1718Z >
+

+Type: +

+   set/node GB7XXX
+

(where 'GB7XXX' is a DX cluster which you expect to connect to or from).

Now shut the cluster down by simply typing 'shutdown' at the prompt.

The cluster and the client should both go back to prompts

The callsigns should be the sysop callsign and the cluster callsign +as per your modified DXVars.pm. You can check that the cluster +connections will work by:- +
