I assume that you have already obtained the LDAP libraries and installed
|
|
them in the appropriate place. This kit should fit into the directory
|
|
structure created by LDAP. You should use the root.Makefile.diffs file to
|
|
patch the LDAP Makefile so that it knows how to build whois++. This may fail
|
|
depending on what version of LDAP you have but the rejections should be
|
|
trival to fix (hopefully UMich will release a new version RSN).
|
|
|
|
This program makes use of a number of definitions defined in the main LDAP
|
|
Makefile but it also has a number of it's own definitions that you will
|
|
have to modify (all definitions are located in the Makefile).
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_DIRECTORY At present the configuration directory only contains
|
|
the template directory. The files in this directory contain the
|
|
attribute fields to return when a template is returned. The objectClass
|
|
of an object determines the whois++ template.
|
|
|
|
HELP_DIRECTORY The server has a number of help files that it may
|
|
display when queried by a client. These files are stored under the
|
|
specific language.
|
|
|
|
LDAPHOST Which host is running a ldap server. This program
|
|
communicates to the X.500 Directory via LDAP so you must be able to
|
|
identify a host that is able to provide this communication.
|
|
|
|
FACILITY Some error diagnostics are reported via syslog, as is
|
|
normal queries if logging is enabled. This variable specifies which
|
|
facility to use. I use local3 so I can create a separate log file just
|
|
for whois++ but you may wish to log under daemon.
|
|
|
|
SYSLIBS Any additional libraries required. Ultrix requires -li
|
|
to get the Internationalisation support. I also use -lsyslog in order
|
|
to link with a 4.3BSD style syslog rather than the ancient syslog that
|
|
DEC normally ship with Ultrix.
|
|
|
|
INTERNATIONAL Define this is you have POSIX international support.
|
|
At present this is only used for displaying dates so it's not really
|
|
important but I intend to use this facility to support the language
|
|
constraint in a future release.
|
|
Available under Ultrix but not SunOS.
|
|
|
|
Once you have modified these variable you should be able to just type "make",
|
|
if you are in the whois++ directory, or "make ldap-whois++" from the main
|
|
LDAP directory. All going well there should be no problems so "make install",
|
|
or "make inst-whois++".
|
|
|
|
You should now copy the tailor file (whois++dtailor) to the ETCDIR and modify
|
|
the base statement to indicate to whois++ where in the DIT whois++ should base
|
|
its searches. You may also wish to define a user and password if you need to
|
|
authenticate the server.
|
|
|
|
Modify /etc/inetd.conf to include the new whois++ service with a line such as
|
|
whois stream tcp nowait ETCDIR/whois++d whois++d
|
|
where ETCDIR is the value of your ETCDIR variable.
|
|
You might like to add the -l flag (if you want to log queries) and -i if you
|
|
have an info attribute in the base entry (this will be displayed as a system
|
|
message).
|
|
|
|
Now send a HUP (or kill and restart) /etc/inetd.
|
|
|
|
Note that if you turn on RFC931 lookups you will need the rfc931.c
|
|
module from Wietse Venema's log_tcp package (archie should be able to find
|
|
you a copy).
