.TH URONODE 8 "28 April 1998" Linux "Linux System Managers Manual"
|
|
.SH NAME
|
|
URONode \- Node front end for AX.25, NET/ROM, Rose and TCP
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.B node
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.LP
|
|
.B URONode
|
|
is a simple node front end, modelled after the node shells of LinuxNode,
|
|
AWZNode, and Flexnode.
|
|
.SH COMMANDS
|
|
The following commands are supported for users of
|
|
.B URONode:
|
|
.TP 13
|
|
.BI ?
|
|
Give short list of available commands.
|
|
.TP 13
|
|
.BI Announce
|
|
Reads the file uronode.announce. This is like a local announcement wall
|
|
where you can give your locals connecting into your node a chance to see
|
|
the local activities going on like a cork board with posted announcements.
|
|
.TP 13
|
|
.BI Bye
|
|
Disconnect user from the node.
|
|
.TP 13
|
|
.BI "Connect <call | alias> [s|d] For NETROM"
|
|
.TP 13
|
|
.BI "Connect <port> <call> [via <call1> ...] [d|s] For AX.25"
|
|
.TP 13
|
|
.BI "Connect <call> <address> [<digi>] [d|s] For ROSE"
|
|
.TP 13
|
|
.BI "Connect <destination> [s|d] For FlexNet"
|
|
.sp 1
|
|
Initiates an AX25, NET/ROM, ROSE or Flexnet connection to a remote host.
|
|
If more than two parameters are entered and the second parameter is ten
|
|
charachers in length then it is interpreted as a ROSE connection,
|
|
otherwise the first parameter is interpreted as a port name and AX25 is
|
|
used to make the connection via that port. If only one parameter is given
|
|
the connection is made searching for the callsign in NET/ROM nodes,
|
|
in AX25 Fixed links, in FlexNet destinations and last in Mheard database
|
|
in this order.
|
|
.sp
|
|
For a ROSE connection the <address> part must be exactly six or ten digits.
|
|
If only six digits are supplied, the DNIC (first four digits) default to the
|
|
local DNIC. The local DNIC is assumed to be that of the first configured
|
|
Rose port in /etc/ax25/rsports.
|
|
.sp
|
|
The user may optionally supply as the last argument a single character
|
|
which modifies the default behaviour on disconnection of the connection.
|
|
If a single `s' is entered as the last argument, then when the remote host
|
|
disconnects you will be returned to this node. If a single `d' is entered as
|
|
the last argument, you will be disconnected from this node too. The Default
|
|
behaviour (neither `s' nor `d' entered) is configured in the node configuration
|
|
file and depends on the sysop preference.
|
|
.TP 13
|
|
.BI "CAllbook <call>[@<server>]"
|
|
Retrieve data about a callsign from an internet-accessible
|
|
callbook server. The server name can usually be omitted, since
|
|
the default server configured by the operator is usually
|
|
valid. The default setting can be overridden by specifying
|
|
a host name.
|
|
.TP 13
|
|
.BI "Escape [<escape string>]"
|
|
Override the sysop configured default escape character setting. If the Escape
|
|
command is given without an argument then the current escape character setting
|
|
is returned to the user. The escape string may be specified using any of the
|
|
well known codings:
|
|
.IP
|
|
.BI "<char>"
|
|
to enter the escape character in its binary form.
|
|
.IP
|
|
.BI "^C"
|
|
to enter the escape character as a control character value.
|
|
.IP
|
|
.BI "NNN"
|
|
to set the escape character to a Decimal value.
|
|
.IP
|
|
.BI "0xNN"
|
|
to set the escape character to a HexaDecimal value.
|
|
.IP
|
|
.BI "0NNN"
|
|
to set the escape character to an Octal value.
|
|
.IP
|
|
.BI "off"
|
|
to disable the escape character.
|
|
.TP 13
|
|
.BI "Finger [<username>][@<hostname>]"
|
|
Retrieve information about users of a system. If the user
|
|
name is omitted, shows the users currently logged on the
|
|
host. If the hostname is omitted, defaults to the local host.
|
|
.TP 13
|
|
.BI "Help [<command>]"
|
|
Give help for the specified command or this text if no
|
|
command is specified. Commands can not be abbreviated.
|
|
Use the "?" command to retrieve a list of available commands.
|
|
.TP 13
|
|
.BI "HOst <hostname> | <ip address>"
|
|
Give the Domain Name Service host name information about <hostname> or
|
|
<ip address>.
|
|
.TP 13
|
|
.BI Info
|
|
Display the version information and the contents of the
|
|
/usr/local/etc/ax25/uronode.info file, which should describe any aspects
|
|
of your system that you would like to brag about.
|
|
.TP 13
|
|
.BI INTerfaces
|
|
Display the node's interface schema, most folks often call these "ports".
|
|
.TP 13
|
|
.BI Jheard <interface>
|
|
Displays the last 20 stations heard to this node. You may use an interface
|
|
name to get the last 20 stations heard to that particular interface.
|
|
.TP 13
|
|
.BI JLong <interface>
|
|
Displays the full list of the heards database up to the last 100 callsigns.
|
|
Add the name of an interface for the full heards listing for that specific
|
|
interface.
|
|
.TP 13
|
|
.BI "Links [d | n | v | <call>]"
|
|
Shows the AX25 link table of the local node. The destinations
|
|
on this list can be reached using the Connect command without
|
|
knowing the actual network path used (assuming the network is OK).
|
|
|
|
The optional parameter d show the AX25 nodes directly linked.
|
|
The optional parameter n show the AX25 nodes linked connecting
|
|
another node and passing a string like "C XX0XX".
|
|
The optional parameter v show the AX25 links via digipeaters.
|
|
|
|
You can also specify a destination callsign to get the verbose
|
|
information for a single destination.
|
|
.TP 13
|
|
.BI "Nodes [* | <node>]"
|
|
Show the NET/ROM node table of the local host. The nodes on this
|
|
list can be reached using the Connect command without knowing the
|
|
actual network path used (assuming the network is OK).
|
|
.sp
|
|
The optional argument '*' toggles verbose mode, showing the
|
|
Obsolescence counter, relative path quality and the port and
|
|
neighbour node used to reach each node. You can also specify
|
|
a node callsign to get the verbose information for a single node.
|
|
In that case a "which" field that tells what route the kernel
|
|
will use to reach the node is also shown.
|
|
.TP 13
|
|
.BI "Ping <host> [<size>]"
|
|
Check if a host can be reached trough the network by sending
|
|
an ICMP Echo Request packet to the host and waiting for it to
|
|
reply. If a reply is received the round-trip-time (RTT)
|
|
between the local and remote hosts is shown.
|
|
.sp
|
|
If an optional length is specified the data portion of the
|
|
packet is filled with length number of bytes up to 128.
|
|
.TP 13
|
|
.BI Routes
|
|
Shows the NET/ROM route table of the local host (eg. the nodes
|
|
which the local node directly talks with). These nodes are used
|
|
to reach the other nodes on the node table. Fields shown are:
|
|
.IP
|
|
.BI "Link"
|
|
Is there an AX25 connection active to this node.
|
|
.IP
|
|
.BI "Port"
|
|
Which port is this route on.
|
|
.IP
|
|
.BI "Callsign"
|
|
The callsign of the neighbour node.
|
|
.IP
|
|
.BI "Quality"
|
|
A relative quality for the path (0-255).
|
|
.IP
|
|
.BI "Destinations"
|
|
Number of other nodes reached via this route.
|
|
.IP
|
|
.BI "Lock"
|
|
Is the quality of this route locked by the operator.
|
|
.IP
|
|
.BI "QSO"
|
|
Number of NET/ROM session enties.
|
|
.TP 13
|
|
.BI "Telnet <host> [<port>] [<string>] [d|s]"
|
|
Initiate a telnet session to a remote host using TCP/IP.
|
|
By default, the telnet command connects to the TCP port 23
|
|
(allocated for telnet). You can specify another TCP port or
|
|
a TCP port name.
|
|
.sp
|
|
If an optional third argument <string> is given, that string, followed
|
|
by a CRLF is sent to the remote host right after the connection is
|
|
established. This is mainly useful for command aliases.
|
|
.sp
|
|
If a single `s' is entered as the last parameter, then when
|
|
the remote host disconnects you will be returned to this node.
|
|
If a single `d' is entered as the last parameter, you will
|
|
be disconnected from this node too. Default behaviour (neither
|
|
`s' nor `d' entered) depends on sysop configuration.
|
|
.TP 13
|
|
.BI "MSG <user> <message>"
|
|
Send a message to another user of the node. The user
|
|
in question must be in idle state (ie. not connected/connecting
|
|
anywhere or running a program).
|
|
.sp
|
|
If the user has an SSID other than zero, the SSID must be
|
|
specified. If multiple users are logged in with the same
|
|
callsign/SSID pair, those who are in idle state, get the message.
|
|
.TP 13
|
|
.BI Users
|
|
Show a list of users currently connected to the local node,
|
|
where the users are coming from, and what are they doing at the
|
|
moment.
