environment by creating symbolic links between the Guardian files and the /etc
directory:
1. Check that the files or links do not already exist in the /etc directory by entering
the following command at an OSS shell prompt:
cd /etc
ls -al
If resolv.conf, hosts, and inetd.conf appear, ignore the rest of this
procedure and see portmap on page 4-32 to configure the portmap process.
2. If inetd.conf does not appear but smplnetd.conf appears, at the OSS shell
prompt, enter:
cp smplinetd.conf inetd.conf
However, see the note above; in this guide, the filename is presumed to be
inetd.conf, but your site might use alternative names.
3. If neither inetd.conf or smplnetd.conf appears, at the OSS shell prompt,
enter:
ln -s /G/system/ztcpip/inetconf inetd.conf
4. If one of the other files does not appear, create a symbolic link to its Guardian
equivalent by entering one or more of these commands at the OSS shell prompt:
ln -s /G/system/ztcpip/resconf resolv.conf
ln -s /G/system/ztcpip/hosts hosts
portmap
The portmap process is configured either by creating NonStop operating system
DEFINEs for it in the TACL session used to start it or by passing parameter values to it
in the command that starts it.
You can change the following by specifying an ADD DEFINE command at a TACL
prompt before starting portmap:
•
The TCP/IP (transport-provider) process used by portmap. For example:
ADD DEFINE =TCPIP^PROCESS^NAME, FILE $ZTC1
Note. inetd can use any configuration file identified to it during its startup. The default
configuration file is /etc/inetd.conf. If you use the /etc/inetd.conf file and your
system does not initially have a smplinetd.conf file, your entries in
/etc/inetd.conf can be overwritten during a product update; you should make a
backup of the configuration file whenever you change that file. You can make a backup by
entering the following at an OSS shell prompt:
cp /etc/inetd.conf /etc/inetd.conf.bak
