Hi linuxers!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
First all, I thanks PE1RJA and OH2BNS for their very great job!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
*****************************************************************************
|
||
|
|
The v0.5.x release is a temporary version of URONode running and compiling
|
||
|
|
under linux 2.4.x, with glibc 6 and new ax25 and ax25io libraries. v0.0.11
|
||
|
|
*****************************************************************************
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
UROnode is based on AWZ|LinuxNode by Tomi Manninen OH2BNS and FlexNode
|
||
|
|
by Roy PE1RJA. It was born initially for the aripisa.ampr.org system
|
||
|
|
by Stefano Noferi IZ5AWZ of ARI Ham Radio Association of Pisa (ITALY).
|
||
|
|
Users in URONode can connect all ham packet world: all AX25, NETROM, ROSE,
|
||
|
|
FLEXNET, ITANET, TCP/IP nodes in the world are now near.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Comment from Stefano:
|
||
|
|
I have a "packet" dream: all the packet networks can interchange connections.
|
||
|
|
My version of node software for Linux is an attempt to realize this idea
|
||
|
|
and I hope it can help the ham radio digital world to come back one. ;)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I thanks ARI association of Pisa and Alex Del Chicca IK5PWJ,
|
||
|
|
for their trust and supports.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This README file, the documentation etc. are very incomplete!
|
||
|
|
Sorry, but my free time is very very very... very little.. :)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you decide to use URONode, send me a mail.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Routing features include: (in order preferance)
|
||
|
|
- netrom routing
|
||
|
|
- fixed routes
|
||
|
|
Create and/or modify /usr/local/etc/ax25/uronode.routes, the format of
|
||
|
|
this file is in the example file uronode.route.ex.
|
||
|
|
Now fixed link nodes in this file have an alias and 3 connection
|
||
|
|
modes, can be queried using the Links command and can be
|
||
|
|
connected directly using: Connect <call>|<alias> (ie. without
|
||
|
|
specifying the downlink port)
|
||
|
|
- flexnet destination lists
|
||
|
|
A separate daemon (flexd) queries a neighbouring flexnet node for its
|
||
|
|
reachable destinations, these destinations are stored on the local
|
||
|
|
disk and can be queried using the Dest command and can be connected
|
||
|
|
directly using: Connect <destination>
|
||
|
|
Config file: flexd.conf:
|
||
|
|
MyCall <call> # the callsign used during the connection
|
||
|
|
PollInterval <interval> # how often the destinations are downloaded
|
||
|
|
FlexGate <call> # the neighbouring flexnet node
|
||
|
|
The pollinterval is specified in seconds and the callsign after
|
||
|
|
flexgate must be defined in uronode.routes !!
|
||
|
|
- mheard based routing
|
||
|
|
When users are using your node the mheard tables are filled with
|
||
|
|
callsigns, callsigns heard on ports can be connected directly with
|
||
|
|
the Connect <call> command, without specifying the downlink port.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Other features:
|
||
|
|
- local users of the linux machine can be granted access to the mailreader
|
||
|
|
and optionally to the shell. Config file: /etc/ax25/node.users
|
||
|
|
<call>:<password>:<username>:[mail][,shell]
|
||
|
|
call : the callsign of the user that is allowed to access special features
|
||
|
|
password : a string pasword
|
||
|
|
username : the (real)-username on the linux side
|
||
|
|
options : mail - the user has permission to access his or her mailbox
|
||
|
|
shell - the user has permission to access the shell
|
||
|
|
Users with the mail option enabled will receive messages like "New mail
|
||
|
|
has arrived", mostly when the stated condition is met ;-)
|
||
|
|
- all users can send messages to a callsign associated in the kernel table
|
||
|
|
with a linux username ("send" command).
|
||
|
|
- now the sysop can modified the node prompt and password prompt
|
||
|
|
- "!" command show system statistics
|
||
|
|
- old "SEssions" command is now "MSessions"
|
||
|
|
- now "MHeard" command can be used without port specification
|
||
|
|
- changed the output of several query programs (like ports/routes etc.) also
|
||
|
|
included more netrom specific output in these commands
|
||
|
|
- included a lastlog, which shows the time, date and port of your previous
|
||
|
|
session, if this is your first connect, you are requested to read the
|
||
|
|
info text
