TCP/IP Server Program
The network server program TCPIP.SAV provides the software
interface between the Ethernet device handler and the
client/server programs in the TCP/IP Package. The network
server program handles the processing of various network packets
and services (TCP, IP, UDP, BOOTP, ARP, RARP, and DOMAIN name
lookup).
The TCPIP.SAV program may be started interactively (usually
for diagnostic purposes) with the following options:

TCPIP uses four logical EN units for network access: three are
used to receive IP(EN0:), ARP(EN1:), and RARP(EN2:) packets and
one is used to transmit(EN3:) all packet types. The startup
command file TCPIP.RUN loads and assigns the network server
device EN to one of the network handlers: NC for the DECNA,
NQ/EQ for the DEQNA/DELQA, or NU/EU for the DEUNA/DELUA, mounts
and assigns the logical disk directories, and starts the
selected network jobs.

set kmon ind
The TCPIP program is usually started at RT-11 startup by insert-
ing the line '$@TCPIP.RUN' in the startup command file. The
network IND control files require that the command 'SET KMON
IND' be included in the startup command file.
The network server programs (RFTP, RTELNT, ...) when started
as a foreground or system job gets the command line arguments
from an associated .CML file in TCP:. For example, the RFTP.SAV
program command line file RFTP.CML is:
-r -p PAS:paswrd.fil -y 15 -z 600
The TCPIP.SAV program requires the configuration file
TCPIP.CFG which defines all the parameters required to configure
the network server. Note that TCP/IP services and tasks are
commented out as these must be explicitly started under RT-11.
Typical configuration parameters are detailed in the following
configuration file:
#
# Example host file for TCP/IP server
#
# This file is free form
# Separators are any char <32, 'space' and '='
# Comments are preceeded by #
#
# The form is keyword=value for each parameter.
# The first set of parameters refer to the whole program's defaults.
# These parameter values can be in any order.
# Following this are the individual machine specs.
# If the first machine is name "default", then it contains default
# values for the rest of the machines.
#
# These options are specified for this host machine:
#
# myname=____.____.____ # my internet name
# myip=___.___.___.___ # host machines's IP number
# =BOOTP # to use BOOTP to get host info

# The following specify the tasks that may be initiated by TCPIP.
# Each entry contains the taskid number, timer interval in seconds
# (zero means not an automatically started task), and the name
# of the command file to initiate the service. These tasks donot
# have to be related to TCPIP programs, however a TCPIP program
# can use the TASKCLASS to start a specific task. The selected
# task will be scheduled by TCPIP and only one (1) copy of the
# the task will be allowed to run. Additional requests to start
# the task will be queued as a single request to rerun the task
# at the completion of the currently executing task.
# task=1,0,sy:mailer.srv # mail/mmail/pop3/rsmtp mail delivery agent
# task=2,0,sy:lprint.srv # rlpd/llpqrm printing delivery agent
#
# Following are individual machine specifications
# Gateways are used in the order that they appear in the file
# Nameservers rotate, #1, #2, #3, #1, #2 when a request fails
#
# The machine named "default" contains the fields which are
# automatically filled in for later hosts
#
name=default # Session name, "default" is a reserved name
# Not a real machine, default parameters only
delete=delete # Assume mostly non-UNIX connections
# The following entries affect the tuning of
# TCP connections to this host.
# They should be set by the network administrator who is familiar
# with the requirements of your specific network.
contime=12 # timeout in seconds to try connection
# before returning error to user

# outgoing packet size, MAX=1460
mseg=1460 # largest segment we can receive
# whatever the hardware can take, MAX=1460
mwin=2920 # most bytes we can receive without ACK
# =TCP window size, MAX=3047
# larger isn't always better
#
# Below this line, most of the communication parameters are obtained
# from the "default" host entry.
# Machine names, IP addresses, and special communication parameters
# are present when needed.
#
name=mygateway hostip=192.3.2.2
gateway=1
name=nameserver hostip=192.3.2.1
nameserver=1
name=alpha host=alpha.domain.name
hostip=192.3.2.200
#
# If during TCPIP startup you get the error Sreadhosts() error 2,
# you probably have exceeded the memory limits of the machine.
#
# (1) reduce the number of machine definitions above
# (2) or donot use session logging
#
# Sesion logging and Debugging should not be simultaneously enabled.
#
The network server needs to know the ip address(number) of
the machine to which it is connecting. If the TCPIP.CFG file
does not contain the named machines' ip number then it will make
a request to the specified name server to obtain the machines ip
number. If a name server is not specified then the connection
cannot be made using the machines name (place the machines name
and ip address in the configuration file). If the ip address is
given as the input to the client program rather than the name
then a domain name lookup is not required.
All changes to the configuration file will take effect at the
next startup of TCPIP.SAV.
Socket Monitoring Program
The SKTMON program provides a diagnostic tool for observing
the state of all TCPIP connections. SKTMON displays the current
state of network connections by showing the global regions
through which the TCPIP network server program and the
client/server programs communicate. The program shows in detail
the various network packets, the incoming and outgoing data
streams, and the status of the network ethernet driver.
The IND control file SKTMON.COM starts the program:
.sets cmdlin "0 "+"'p1'"
.open sy:tcpfun.com
.data r sy:vbgexe.sav
.data TCP:sktmon.sav
.data 'cmdlin'
.close
$@sy:tcpfun
Password Utility Program
A password file (eg PASWRD.FIL) must be built if the lo-
cal/remote MAIL services are to be used or if remote network ac-
cess (ie remote FTP, TELNET or CNCT) must be restricted. It is
suggested that a seperate password directory be created to hold
the files PASWRD.SAV and PASWRD.FIL. This directory need be no
larger than about 200 blocks. The maximum number of user/pass-
word specifications is limited by the program memory size to
about 50. The PASWRD.FIL contains 1 block for each user/pass-
word specification. The PASWRD.COM command file should be up-
dated to reflect the location of the password files. A seperate
directory allows the exclusion of its access by remote FTP ses-
sions.
Copy the file PASWRD.SAV (and optionally the supplied pass-
word file PASWRD.FIL) to the created directory. Modify the
PASWRD.COM file to access this subdirectory.
Initiating PASWRD.SAV with a file specification will open an
existing file or create the file if no existing file is found.
The PASWRD program screens will indicate all the options and the
file USRBLK.H illustrates the formats for the device/file speci-
fications required by the password program.
NOTE
The password for any added user must also be speci-
fied, any user not requiring a password (ie an
'anonymous' account) must have this password entered
as a null string by typing only a carriage return for
the password.
To use the created password file be sure the program startup
command files have specified the correct path to the password
file.
NOTE
The device/file access rights are only used by the
remote FTP server.
The IND control file PASWRD.COM starts the program:
.sets cmdlin "'p1'"+"PAS:paswrd.fil"
.open sy:tcpfun.com
.data r sy:vbgexe.sav
.data TCP:paswrd.sav
.data 'cmdlin'
.close
$@sy:tcpfun
Abort TCP/IP Server
ABRTCP is a program which attempts to gracefully abort the
TCPIP system. All TCP/IP connections are closed, all
client(s)/server(s) are requested to abort, and the TCPIP server
closes. The program is invoked from the IND control file
ABRTCP.COM: as:
.open sy:tcpfun.com
.data r sy:vbgexe.sav
.data TCP:abrtcp.sav
.close
$@sy:tcpfun
Abort Specific Job
ABRTJB is a program which attempts to gracefully abort a
specific TCP/IP client/server program. The program is invoked
from the IND control file ABRTJB.COM:
.sets cmdlin "'p1' 'p2' 'p3' 'p4' 'p5' 'p6'"
.open sy:tcpfun.com
.data r sy:vbgexe.sav
.data TCP:abrtjb.sav
.data 'cmdlin'
.close
$@sy:tcpfun
and may request from 1 to 6 jobs be aborted. The job aborts are
sent to the TCPIP server program which closes any open connec-
tions associated with the job and sends an abort request to the
specified job. This program will not abort the TCPIP server
program.
