The current bogon is that connections to the internal CLI on some of the terminal servers doesn't echo characters. We have both cisco 2511s (11.0 and 12.0) and some portmaster 2e's (3.7.2 and .2c4). The definitions look like: console cs0 { type host; host cs0.lab.blablalba; port 23; options ondemand; } In general, the cisco's work and the PMs don't. If I telnet to the PMs, I get character echo. If I console to them, I don't. Any thoughts? z!

I think it may be because conserver does not support the telnet protocol. It really was not meant to operate that way. Maybe you should use the command instead then conserver will spawn telnet when you try to connect to cs0 On Wed, 2004-01-07 at 17:04, Carl Zwanzig wrote: > Hi, > > I've just set up 8.0.9 on a RH9 system, and for the most part, all is > going well.

There are a couple of slight changes, cleanups, etc, and one big change with the client-server protocol. The good news is I was able to send files via xmodem and zmodem from the client to the console using the ^Ec| syntax, which failed before the protocol change. I've also enhanced the telnet protocol code and I believe it will now operate properly with standard telnet ports. I hope everyone enjoys the new code and finds that it fixes any problems you might have seen. If not, please let me know what's wrong! version 8.1.0 (Jan 18, 2004): - fixes for HP-UX compilation - patch by Petter Reinholdtsen - fixes for compilation under various operating systems - patch by Albert Chin - added a 'protocol' option for either 'telnet' or 'raw' socket communication - also reflected in -i output - changed the client/server protocol to use 0xff as a command character for sending control commands - similiar to the telnet protocol - improves the ^Ec| interaction - client -E option now disables ssl encryption attempts, useful for broken SSL environents - suggested by Graydon Dodson - bad error message connecting non-ssl client with ssl-required server - reported by Graydon Dodson - added note about pam configuration to conserver.passwd.man - suggested by Erik Sjolund - improved telnet protocol option handling such that connections to standard telnet ports should work properly Bryan Stansell From bryan@stansell.org Mon Jan 19 07:05:08 2004 Received: from underdog.stansell.org (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by underdog.stansell.org (8.12.11/8.12.11) with ESMTP id i0JF58nH008849; Mon, 19 Jan 2004 07:05:08 -0800 (PST) Received: (from bryan@localhost) by underdog.stansell.org (8.12.11/8.12.11/Submit) id i0JF57AX008848; Mon, 19 Jan 2004 07:05:07 -0800 (PST) Date: Mon, 19 Jan 2004 07:05:07 -0800 From: Bryan Stansell To: users@conserver.com, announce@conserver.com Message-ID: <20040119150507.GG25308@underdog.stansell.org> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="x+6KMIRAuhnl3hBn" Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.4.1i X-Scanned-By: MIMEDefang 2.39 Cc: Subject: conserver-8.1.0 rpm build issue X-BeenThere: users@conserver.com X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.3 Precedence: list List-Id: Conserver Users List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Mon, 19 Jan 2004 15:05:10 -0000 --x+6KMIRAuhnl3hBn Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline If you try and use rpmbuild, things fail because I goofed up a couple Makefiles.

I've found Alfredo Cabrera's port from November 2001, but I'm not sure if it covers all the bases properly. Here's what I'm trying now: set cd on set extended on set modem set cd off set speed 1 9600 set speed 2 9600 set speed 3 9600 set idletime 0 set hangup off set prompt : set device /dev/network set service_device telnet set service_login telnet Where is s1 through s20, and is 2000 + (port number * 100). Also, from looking on Zonker's greater scoll of console knowledge, it's not clear whether or not the PortMaster 2e passed or failed the Break test. So guess before I put a bunch of these out in production (replacing Xyplex MAXserver 1620 which HAVE the break problem), it would be great to hear other people's results with these units.

Very occasionally we'll see a spurious if the Portmaster is powered off. Other than that, we can pass s with conserver, and otherwise the ports never see them. We use Portmaster 2e boxes to monitor all our serial ports. They work great and cost a lot less than buying anything new.

I've gotten my PM2e up and running nicely, now to find a good source for connectors to go from the DB-25 on the PM2e to our Suns using DB-25. I can hack up connectors, but I'd prefer to find a pre-made source so I can get just two connectors which are hooked together via Cat5 cable and do the proper Null Modem stuff. I realize I'll need two types of connectors, but that's ok.

I got the program working at work with some terminal servers, works pretty good, very impressive. 
I have a couple more questions.  I think I know the answer to this one, can console be used  on a host other than the host that conserver is running on?

Do you know if it's possible to set up conserver to connect to netcon on an SSP for E10Ks?  Sure would be nice if it could.

Thx
Pete

Yes. It listens on a port. Just install the client program on any host and it will connect to the conserver daemon. > Do you know if it's possible to set up conserver to connect to netcon > on an SSP for E10Ks? Sorry, but my Sun knowledge doesn't extend to those models that cost more than a house.
