They are little -program,s to allow users of ax25d and the node to initiate outgoing AX.25, -NET/ROM and Rose connections. They are very powerful program because it can -pretend to be someone else, so be careful ! - -My testing has been within the confined of the node, but the comments here -apply equally well to use via ax25d. - -Ax25_call takes at least three parameters: - -ax25_call <port> <my callsign> <remote callsign> [<digipeaters> ...] - -Netrom_call takes three parameters: - -netrom_call <port> <my callsign> <remote address> - -Rose_call takes four parameters: - -rose_call <port> <my callsign> <remote callsign> <remote Rose address> - -The <port> is the name of a local AX.25, NET/ROM or Rose port as defined in -the axports, nrports or rsports files respectively. <my callsign> is the -callsign that this connection appears to have come from, ie the local -*user*. It has nothing to do with your AX.25 port callsign. - -Ax25_call must have at least the callsign of the remote user and a set of -optional digipeaters. - -The <remote address> for netrom_call may be of two forms, either the remote -node callsign, or a combination of the remote node alias and remote node -callsign seperated by a ':'. Netrom_call only connects to the remote -callisgn, the full address is sent to the local user for information. - -The <remote callsign> for rose_call is the "service" at the remote Rose -node, ie USERS or any other valid AX.25 callsign, <remote Rose address> is -the ten-digit Rose address of the remote node. - -To start any of these from within the node, you will need to add a line like -the following to the /etc/ax25/node.conf file, this example uses rose_call: - -ExtCmd BBS 0 root /usr/sbin/rose_call rose_call rose %S k4dpz 3100352392 - -This assumes that rose_call is installed in /usr/sbin which is the default. -This will create a new command "BBS" for the node, which when typed will -connect the user to the callsign K4DPZ at remote Rose node 3100352392. The -callsign of the local user is where the %S appears in the line, it is -substituted by node for the users callsign. See node.conf(5) for more -details of the syntax. - -Setting up these programs via ax25d is also quite simple and is similar -conceptually to the example above. - -All of these programs generates errors that are received by the local user, -so if there are any problems then the local user will be able to quote the -message to you. - -Give them a whirl and let me know how you go. - -Jonathan |
