added ila Inbox file to /usr1/backup/inc_exclude
	43d42
	< /usr1/ila/nsmail/Inbox


Thu Apr 21 23:21:33 MST 2005

[revised]

ila portable pbg3 was unplugged and battery drained;
on recharge, had to reboot = 
	shift-fn-ctrl + power button hold down
	then if does not reboot, hold power button down again (until music)
boot drive/partition is os 9-2
how get system to restart in os-x 10.2.8
	after boot in os 9.2 complete
	help -> mac help
		search = "startup"
			select "open the startup disk panel for me"
				select "osx"
					select "OSXx System"
						select "restart"
this should do it = std osx startup screen after a few seconds

yesterday (jan 20) backed up pbg4 onto (new) seagate 160GB external drive;
backup written to seagate partition S1;
see details in file:
	/clone-info/clone-050120/note

[revised above = later]
yesterday, ila portable pbg3 was unplugged and battery drained;
on recharge, had to reboot;
boot drive/partition is os 9-2
how get system to boot in os-x 10.2.8
	after boot in os 9.2
	change boot drive/partition to os-x
		mac help -> startup -> select osx/osx:system folder
	restart


Wed Jan 19 17:33:16 MST 2005

yesterday, removed drive B from iris, after it failed to respond to 
signals from the scsi controller (same failure as when drive was A on 
server - assignment of failure to drive, not controller, apparently correct)

	iris:/B         18-3    st318404lc	(prev. server:/A)

Jan 18 13:28:12 6A:iris unix: ql0d3: <6>Selection timeout
Jan 18 13:28:12 6A:iris unix: dksc0d3s7: <6>SCSI driver error: device does
not respond to selection
Jan 18 13:28:12 1A:iris unix: ALERT: I/O error in filesystem ("/B") meta-data
dev 0xaa block 0x40 ("xfs_trans_read_buf")



Tue Jan 11 22:05:00 MST 2005

replaced problem drive server:/A with drive iris:/B

configuration before switch:

server					iris
/	9-2	st39102lc		/	9-2	st39205lc
/A	18-3	st318404lc		/A	18-2	st318203lc
/B	36-1	st336704lc		/B	18-1	st318203lc

shut both systems down

removed server:/B
moved iris:/B -> server:/B

bring system up
login as root
check all drives readabkle, df -k, etc.

clean the drive that is to receive filesystem copy:
umount /B
df -k to be sure /B is unmounted
mkfs_xfs /dev/rdsk/dks0d3s7	#to clear drive
mount /dev/dsk/dks0d3s7 /B
df -k to be sure /B is mounted and empty

make fs copy:
cd /B
xfsdump -l 0 - /A | xfsrestore - .
[output ok, as expected; no orphans]

tested copy:
cd /usr1; du -skm * 1>scr-r.out 2>scr-r.err
rename scr-r du-skm-A-usr1 scr-r*
cd /B/usr1; du -skm * 1>scr-r.out 2>scr-r.err
rename scr-r du-skm-B-usr1 scr-r*
diff /A/usr1/scr-r.err /B/usr1/scr-r.err >scr-r.err-diff
diff /A/usr1/scr-r.out /B/usr1/scr-r.out >scr-r.out-diff
rename scr-r du-skm-A-usr1-B-usr1 scr-r*

[mv all files into /A/050111]

all looks ok

did dircmp, all ok

did not compare:
prtvtoc dks0d3vh
dvhtool -v list  /dev/rdsk/dks0d3vh
vs same for drive 2=/A

shutdown system = server

remove drive 18-1 server:/B = drive with copy of server:/A
remove drive 18-3 server:/A = problem drive and replace as iris:/B
replace drive 18-1 server:/A = replacement for problem drive
replace drive 36-1 server:/B
bring up both server and iris

current configuration -- changes from previous configuration
server:/A	18-1	st318203lc
iris:/B		18-3	st318404lc

cleaned up server:/var/adm/crash - removed large dump files

over last several days, drive server:/A has been acting up - to restore need
to power off and restart (restart not enough).

backup of / and /A

/ -> 4GB tape 3, dds-2, 125m
	Backup -> /Backup-r-050109.[err,out]
/A -> 12GB tape 17, dds-3, 125m
	Backup -> Backup-a-050109.[err,out]
tape listings:
	List_tape -> last_backup_list.12[ab] and last_backup_list.12[ab].err
List_tape for each shows same number of files as output from Backup for each.
significant number of errors for /A list;
???

copied drive /A -> /B:
su -
cd /B
mkdir A
find /A -mount -depth -print| cpio -pdumv /B/A 2>/B/scr.err 1>/B/scr.cpio
	[copy looked ok - errors reasonable - links, etc.]
	[cpio above put /A into /B/A/A - correct as follows..]
c A
mv A/* .
rmdir A
c ..
dircmp A /A |egrep -v "directory|same|Comparison of .* Page " |blout
	[to check for fidelity - ok]


copied storage on iris:/B to server:/B
# root@iris:/> tar cpBf - usr3 |rsh server "(cd /B/scratch && tar xpBf -)"

# root@iris:/> tar cpBf - root |rsh server "(cd /B/scratch && tar xpBf -)"

[for details see server:/B/050109/NOTE

BACKUP FOLLOWED STD PROCEDURES:

for root only:
su -
cd /
mv .profile .profile-saved
   [.profile is linked to /A/usr1/jar/.profile; cannot unmount /A if have link]
reboot
umount -a

mt status
mt unload
[write protect on]
mountall [or mount /A or whatever]

cd /
mkdir 050109
mv Backup*09* 050109


for /A only:

[first, clean up /A/usr1/backup]
cd /B
[remove last backup archive if preset]
mkdir backup
cd /usr1/backup
cp -pr inc_backup_list archive /B/backup
rm -rf archive
mv inc_backup_list inc_backup_list.11
[later, reset last_backup_time]

[now do backup]
cd /A
[insert tape]
mt rewind
mt status
[not done: swap -u]
nohup Backup / 2>Backup-a-050109.err 1>Backup-a-050109.out &

backup of sgi, usual methods, to take 16, / and /A only, to one tape
ok


Sat Aug 14 19:04:55 MST 2004

backup according to protocol of previous backup - see /clone-info/*

failure 2x to new 160GB lacie drive

success (=restart from clone), after repartition to 2x40MB on lacie 80GB
drive (old drive which worked with 4 partitions)

light reorganization of pbg4

0. repaired disk permissions - nothing major, mostly jar owner/grp instead of
root

1. mv hierarchy images from store-no-backup to ~jar/McKay-Ruud; this dir has
photos for McKay-Ruud families.

2. emptied main trash file = ~/tmp which had grown to ca 2.5GB
   emptied other trash files

3. disk usage:
jar@pbg4 [18:45:11]  /private/etc (2:638)$ df -k
	NB: / includes 3.11GB from /store-no_backup

Thu Jun 17 12:01:38 MST 2004

installed new engenius 11b card (from netgate)
registered with ioexperts via esellerate

shut down airport
configured new card as en3 (en2 presumably is older engenius card, used by ila)
seems to work - set for auto connect to strongest signal


Thu May 20 14:56:03 MST 2004

applied patch recommended by bob hershhoff for help vulnerability
	dgtgf.dmg
from
	http://www.isophonic.net/applications/


Wed May 12 17:30:00 MST 2004

test transfer via airport pbg4 <-> server

sitting at kitchen table airport connect indicates 10-12/15 = signal strength
	nb - this corresponds to 3-4 bars on menubar indicator

with ftp on pbg4 -> server
with ftp on servder -> pbg4
for 12+Mbyte file

receive at pbg4 ~  500+ KBbytes/s
transmit from pbg4 ~ 300+ KBytes/s

theoretical = 11Mbps ~ 1.1MKBytes/s

observe download = .5, upload = .3 theoretical

ok...
for comparison, see tests on Mon Nov 17 14:07:19 MST 2003
performance airport card builtin similar to engenius card with capap or eng1





Wed May 12 13:21:32 MST 2004

light reorganization of pbg4

1. created storage directory, not to be backed up, but to contain files worth
saving for later inspection or even use - but not a disaster if lost:
	e.g., 
		intermediate image files for graphics of nhood directory
		image files from Radeon == ATI
		files of trial mockups of nhood directory (incl. graphics ==
			many meg)

where appropriate, created links to directories under storage directory
	e.g.,
		~/Documents/eeeha/Images/Old <- 
			/store-no_backup/jar/Documents-eeeha-Images/Old

2. emptied main trash file = ~/tmp which had grown to ca 2.5GB

3. Principal increases in sizes of root directories since last backup 
040227:
	3145876 Applications
	1620252 Library
	3475808 Users
	        store-no_backup		not present
040411:
	4681308 Applications		+1.54GB    All from Adobe CS
	1805924 Library			+ .18GB
	3693276 Users			+ .02GB
	2705696 store-no_backup		+2.71GB	   eeeha stuff + .4GB downloads

1. ran diskutil on pbg4, to verify permissions:

results and actions:
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
	preferences.plist
	gid=0 			should be 80
	not changed as consistent with other files in dir
/Library/Printers/EPSON
	Preferences
	perm=drwxrwxrwx		should be drwxrwxr-x
	changed
/System/Library/Filesystems/cd9660.fs
	cd9660.util
	gid=0			should be 80

	install.log

	wtmp

Fri Dec 26 03:40:30 MST 2003

added user to pbg4
	sys pref -> accts

	pbg4, pbg4, sir$alex, admin privileges, uid 501, gid 501




later - pm same day

1. cleaned up uid on files/directories that may/did date to time when
jar as 1st admin was uid=501 == before switched to jar uid=1000 to be
consistent with sgi network

previously had cleaned up many more uid=501 inconsistencies

2. above and following:
prompted by failure of ccc cloned drive to boot with old settings in effect
(booted as if fresh install == no previous login)

3. this problem may be due to an assumption by mac osx that the admin user is
uid=50[12], and if these not found in user list (netinfo), then ...

4. as protection, created user pbg4 uid=501 gid=501 with admin priv to ensure
501 slot filled -- see above.

5. as protection, enabled root account, so if disaster can login as root
(perhaps) and attempt correction.

to get control of xterm window size, on  the fly:

download from:
http://www.thrysoee.dk/xtermcontrol/

xtermcontrol-2,2.tar.gz

in file of same parent name on ~/Downloads:
configure && sudo make install

exec. into /usr/local/bin
man  page -> ....

works!

saved (Downloads) web page with program description;
more background info in xtermcontrol src dir hierarchy


looked around a bit google and xtermcontrol docs/*,src/*:

incorporate as alias:

alias x24='echo "^[[8;24;80t\c"'
alias x40='echo "^[[8;40;80t\c"'


reference for xterm key bindings:

incorporated aliases xt24,xt40 into .bash_aliases
appears to work - LINES reset correctly after each change
no other apparent change (have seen that noglob/glob set may be lost)

Tue Dec 23 00:29:54 MST 2003

----------

setup for remote printing pbg4 through sgi to hp 2100M:
[from net and from cups instructions]

printer setup utility -> add to printer list:
	select:
		ip printing
		printer type	lpd/lpr
		printer address	10.0.0.2 		for sgi
		queue name	post			name interface/model
		printer model	hp laserjet 2100S

this generates in the printer list:

	name	post on 10.0.0.2
	status	--
	kind	hp laserjet 2100S
	host	pbg4.local

to use, from command line:

	lp filename

and job prints on sgi

no config needed for sgi

BUT - can/should only send filetypes recognized by post interface on sgi;
	txt
	ps
	not much else

to convert pdf to ps, can use gv = ghostview
to convert html to ps, ?????

*******check sgi conversion utilitlies

spent surf time checking out how to mirror/archive with mac hardware

job's may have had bias agst tape drives/backup

use 2nd hard drive to mirror/bootable copy of system
archive by syncing 1 or more copies regularly with original

in  our case:
	get firewire 80/120GB drive as bootable  mirror
		hardware: lacie 120gb at uofa, ca $170
			alterntively: maxtor, ocw=other world computing/ers
		software: carbon copy cloner
	archive by periodic copy of system or data to sgi drive then to
	sgi tape

how backup pbg3?
	don't
	get installation diskettes:
		os9
		osx 10.2x

pbg3:
	microsoft office on os9 drive
	osx in separate volume (5gb vs3gb for os9)




Mon Dec 15 14:42:57 MST 2003

----------

brought over current == latest version of realone/realplayer FOR MACOSX,
from apple
removed previous installs from /Appli.. /Lib/Internet.. ~/Down....
installed new app in /Applications
installed 3 files 
(following the rec from  macosxhints: 10/28/03 - durandal)

	So I wondered, "Why the heck didn't Real make a browser
	plug-in?" Well it turns out that they did; it's just not
	put into your ~/Library -> Internet Plug-Ins directory by
	default (as far as I can tell). The necessary files are
	stored in the RealOne application package at 
	RealOne Player.app -> Contents -> MacOS.  
	Copy these files into your 
	~/Library -> Internet Plug-Ins directory.

[ copy is FROM /App.../Real.../Contents/MacOS
open finder window by in xterm, cd to MacOS directory,
use "open ." for finder window in directory
easier imho to check dates/sizes on files with ls than  in finder;
but date last mod not exactly the same ~1 day dif]

	pncrt.Shlb
	RealPlayer Plugin.xpt
	RealPlayer Plugin


	Then simply re-launch Safari, and you'll be able to watch the
	stream in your browser window. If you still can't, try copying
	the Library directory inside RealOne Player.app -> Contents ->
	MacOS to your Internet Plug-Ins directory. In my experience
	though,

Library				Nov 1, 2003
RealOne Player			Sep 17, 2003
RealPlayer Plugin		Sep 17, 2003
RealPlayer Plugin.xpt		Jul 31, 2002
pncrt.Shlb			Jul 30, 2002


all above done within finder windows 
by mving to trash to delete
using copy = command-C then drop = command V

.bash_profile reduced to source of .bashrc -
indeed, could symlink .bash_profile -> .bashrc

in .bashrc -  obligatory source of .bash_setup 

all interactive shells have some user config. files = login shell not
special

this is in response to observation that x11.app xterm shells spawned after
login shell have change in TERM variable
TERM=xterm-color (exported in .bash_setup) 
found as TERM=xterm in interactive but non-login shells ??
also
change in REMOTEHOST (set/exported in login shell, unset for subsequent)
ditto for two PROXY... variables

NOTE
all xterm shells spawned by Terminal.app behaved as expected will old setup
(trouble only with x11.app shells after login shell)

----------



dir stack functions broken when refence the file/dirnames containing spaces,
commmon in the trad macos dirs:

quoting the +space filename works with ls; also with builtin cd"

**quoting does not work with the function "c"

following revision of "c" works
ctest () { builtin cd "$1"; if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then push; fi ;}

[ broken original:
ctest () { builtin cd $*; if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then push; fi ;} ]

better to hold off on changes until redo dir stack functions with
bash builtins dirs, pushd, popd

setup 2nd 2611 ap3 plus (arrived yesterday = dec 11)

connect straight-thru cable between pbg4 ethernet and ap3 lan port
www (http, internet explorer) connection to default ip of ap3 = 192.168.1.1
`
[trouble viewing/refreshing info on web pages sent by ap3, using
safari on pbg4 - the frames setup does not seem to work quite right]
[the sgi gets better information, but have to address each web page
separately, in location bar; have not used sgi to change configuration]
[the new firmware with new 2611 ap3 plus seems to work better]

but even if there is a problem with display, entering the information 
into appropriate config page, pressing save, doing the next page
similarly, and when done pressing reboot, seems to work

summary of config of 2nd ap3:
wireless:
	access point name					*eng2
	ssid (network name to establish wireless connection)	*eng2
	channel (believe this is auto adjusted)			1
	basic rates:	1,2,5.5,11				check all
	supported rates:	1,2,5.5,11			check all
	transmit rates:						automatic
	preamble (***NEW DATA FIELD***)				*long = max
								compatibility
	visibility (whether network=name broadcast)		visible
		if name not broadcast, user in range must request
		connection by name => >security if invisible
	wep							not enabled
		essentially no security at this time
		try it this way, until have breakin or too much

selected files, apparently oriented toward text and graphics

used i-installer to bring over tex and related software, in following order
ordained by texshop page:

TeX

CM Super for TeX (this is optional, giving additional fonts)

Ghostscript 8 (or Ghostscript 6 if you are using OSX 10.1.5 or lower)

Freetype 2 (this and the next two programs are only required for
	conversion between various image formats)

wmf and iconv conversion support

ImageMagick

TeX Support: TeX4ht (this is optional, giving a program to translate
	tex into html)

also:

xfig

png library

macutils

all appeared to go under /usr/local/{bin,doc,include,lib,man,share,teTeX}

Wed Dec 10 18:00:22 MST 2003

much done over last week - not all listed here


--------------------

1. configured bash/shell spawned under X11.app or Terminal.app from 
mac ox-x finder or dock menus:

configuration files:
.bash_profile
.bashrc
.bash_aliases
.bash_aliases_pers
.bash_setup

see headers of files for rationale

X11.app:
note that X11.app does not start a login shell, thus no autosource of
.bash_profile; .bashrc is sourced as for any interactive shell
(.bash_profile sets shell variables and then sources .bashrc)
SHLVL=2

X11.app runs ~/.xinitrc -o .../xinit/xinitrc (== system default)
which load ~/.Xresources, etc., that give the user control over the X11
resource settings for apps (color, font, ...)

Terminal.app:
Terminal.app starts a login shell and thus sources .bash_profile as is
expected.  SHLVLK=1

Terminal.app does not load ~/.Xresources - usual control over xterm is lost
then sources .bashrc) - this is  major flaw

Both apps:
fix is to source a file (.bash_setup) that does what .bash_profile does,
but only if variables set by .bash_profile have not been set.

this problem - no login shell for rootless x11 - has been recognized by users
- see google


other stuff related;

brought over dirstack stuff unaltered from the sgi ksh .profile/.config*;
should redo it to make use of bash builtins pushd, popd, dirs.

added more aliases, functions - some from own experience as lacking, some
from review of net postings on bash configuration files.

--------------------

2. moving between machines (sgi server and iris, pbg4) works for x11 apps:
display variable set properly, hosts.equiv and rhosts set properly,
export/import of display works (for x11 apps - not for non-X11  mac os-x
apps such as Safari).

sync'd for pbg4, iris, server:
	/etc/hosts, /etc/hosts.equiv, /etc/X0.hosts, 
	~jar/.rhosts ~jar/.Xauthority

--------------------

3. complementing above, nsf automount or "on demand" (for sgi) mount and export
of directories

--------------------

4. equipment
3rd engenius access point (2611 ap3 plus) shipped

ebay auction won for pbg3 mac 300mhz - supports 10.3 os-x
junker for use by guests

power over ethernet module shipped, for use with ap in rear hall

--------------------



Wed Dec 03 22:49:32 MST 2003

--------------------

setup for export of filesystem = / from pbg4 to hosts on lan=10.0.0.*
single addition via nfs  manager

sgi=server already set up to mount on demand at /hosts via autofs

[did this mainly to allow print of files without havint to setup remote
print]

--------------------

brought over 2.05b sources for bash, including docs and examples for startup
and other files.

put into pbg4:~jar/downloads

printed a variety for development into local version

--------------------


Wed Dec 03 00:29:00 MST 2003

changed defaults in startup of pbg4 to start demons for:
	telnet		telnetd
	shell		rshd
	login		rlogind

less secure but convenient as no login  required for movement within
local 10.0.0.* net

changes in files of above names under /etc/xinetd.d
saved copies of oiginals in /etc/xinetd.d.orig




Tue Dec 02 16:31:25 MST 2003

--------------------

revised, sync'd various files between:
	pbg4, server, iris, research

--------------------

rebooted pbg4 after installed/sync'd above config files:

a. host names and aliases recognized on pbg4

b. x11 window on pbg4 -> rlogin server -> netscape ./ -> display/op on pbbg4
	connection ok from pbg4 to sgi machines
		for host name lookup on pbg4
		for x11 host-based authorization for pbg4 on sgi machines
		for shipping x11 display (window) back to pbg4 
			from sgi machines
	need to test auths for connection from sgi machine to pbg4
		first look: (pbg4->iris->pbg4) => need to use ssh for sgi->pbg4

c. research:.rhosts not relevant with required ssh higher level authorization;
	not sure that can *effectively* export x11 display from research to
	local machine

d. first look at vpn client started on pbg4 with export of display to server
is that it works
	? does running vpn client on pbg4 lead to tunneling for all net
	connections from 10.0.0.* hosts?

--------------------

checked search order under lookupd for hosts
	$ lookupd -d
		> configuration
			results for hosts search order: 
				cache ff ni ds

=> no problem for host lookup as flat file=FF=/etc/hosts first after cache
=> no need to setup search order with ff first

Sun Nov 30 23:31:11 MST 2003

over last 2 weeks:

----------

1.setup wireless ap:
	wired rear hall, installed eng1

	reduced excess wire ~30 ft from wire to lr den, installed capap

	wired basement - nothing installed yet

	airport installed (temp) in upstairs hall

----------

2. changed uid of jar and ier on pbg4 from 501, 502 to 1000,1001 so that there
is agreement in both acct name and uid between pbg4 and sgi machines; 
so can read/write files on sgi/mac when rlogged into other.

----------

3. setup .Xresources, .xinitrc for jar@pbg4
	.Xresources close to that of sgis, except changed to smaller point size
	for xterm and fixed size deter. by expt. for xman
	
	xclock does not display; xcalc and oclock ok;

----------

4. changed internal pbg4 name for pbg4 = pbg4.  done via pref -> sharing
could have done it (?) via edit of /etc/hostconfig - change automatic to name

----------

5. stuff brought over:

	a. fink starter package, so can download functional packages as want
	them

	b. MacGhostView, a postscript viewer app
		otherwise the default is to translate each ps file to pdf
		== slow

	c. Stuffit 8.0 - need this new version for recent packages

	d. microsoft office - had purchased earlier, at time of pbg4

	e. NFSManager - paid a few bucks to get easier setup of nfs mounts, etc.
	
	f. hfstar - make tarball with retention of mac file oddities
		used to backup pbg4 drive to sgi

	g. earlier, downloaded ioexperts as driver for engenius cards

	h. earlier, downloaded update for firmware of airport, as instructed
	by apple phone tech

	i. earlier, current version of realone player

----------

6. backed up pbg4 drive onto /mntA/osx directory of server.rupley.com

----------

7. then installed panther = 10.3 from apple cd set, including x11 and 
x11 developer apps and files

	used update method, not archive and install - seems to be ok with 
	the light load of material added by me at this time.

----------



Mon Nov 17 14:07:19 MST 2003

over last nearly 2 weeks:

----------
1. ordered engenius 2611 ap3 plus if 2511 ap pro plus not avail 
by end of month, from royalcomputer, calif.:
Nov 06: engenius nl-2511-ap-pro-plus, ~$232, ship ups grnd from engenius

----------

2. ordered and received from netgate, spokane
Nov 07: ordered engenius nl-2611 ap3 plus and nl-2511 cd plus
received both (ap and pc card)
both work nicely
note - first received 2611 cb3 client bridge - does not work as access point,
at least not in my hands - so returned for ordered ap3

----------

3. configuration of ap3
connect straight-thru cable between pbg4 ethernet and ap3 lan  port
www (http, browser) connection to default ip of ap3 = 132.168.1.1
may have trouble viewing/refreshing info on web pages sent by ap3, using
safari on pbg4 - the frames setup does not seem to work quite right:
	the sgi gets better information, but have to address each web page
	separately, in location bar
	have not tried to use sgi to change configuration - should work
	web pages:
		ap3-ip-address/menu-setup.html	view source to get following
				/server.html	ip address, mask, gateway
				/filter.html	opt: list allowed mac addresses
				/admin.html	change username+passwd of ap3
				/wireless-setup-main.html    primary config ap3
				/advanced-setup-main.html	optional config
				/info.html	ap3 info, incl. recent connects
		ap3-ip-address = 192.168.1.1 as default before configure
				= 10.0.0.10 after configure
				default regained by pressing reset button at
				rear of ap3
	in any case, may want to address each config page separately from
	location  bar, rather than  relying on frames menu
but even if there appears to be aproblem with display, entering the
information into appropriate config page, pressing save, doing the next page,
similarly, and when done pressing reboot, seems to work

summary of config of ap3:
wireless:
	access point name					eng1
	ssid (network name to establish wireless connection)	eng1
	channel (believe this is auto adjusted)			1
	basic rates:	1,2,5.5,11				check all
	supported rates:	1,2,5.5,11			check all
	transmit rates:						automatic
	visibility (whether network=name broadcast)		visible
		if name not broadcast, user in range must request
		connection by name => >security if invisible
	wep							not enabled
		essentially no security at this time
		try it this way, until have breakin or too much
		freeloading
		monitor 10.0.0.10/info.html
server:
	default ip						10.0.0.10
	mask							255.255.255.0
	gateway (cisco router to dsl and wan)			10.0.0.1

admin:
	username						eng1
	passwd							sir$alex

----------

4. reworked /etc/hosts, to give on 031117:
:r !grep "10.0.0" /etc/hosts
10.0.0.1	cisco.dakotacom.net	cisco
10.0.0.2	server.rupley.com	rupley.com	server
10.0.0.8	iris.rupley.com		iris
10.0.0.5	capricorn.rupley.com	capricorn	esar
10.0.0.6	pbg4.rupley.com		pbg4
10.0.0.7	capap.rupley.com	capap		esarap
10.0.0.3	air0.rupley.com		air0		jarap0
10.0.0.10	eng1.rupley.com		eng1		jarap1

----------

5. tested various combinations of pbg4 card and access point (base station):
test: from pbg4 ftp to server, then get 2.9 or 3.2 Mbyte file
ftp displays transfer rate in Kbytes/sec
x10/1000 -> Mbps (~10 bits sent/byte)

air0 and capap access points near/accessible to pbg4 
(air0 in upstairs hall, capap in dining room -- pbg4 on jar study desk)
wireless card in pbg4	access point		rate
airport extreme		air0			23 Mbps
	works essentially as advertised: 802.11b protocol > 11Mbps
					 802.11g protocol > 55Mbps
airport extreme		capap			3.9-6.4 Mbps
	as advertised: airport extreme drops to 802.11b/11Mbps max if
	access point or other wireless device is 802.11b
engenius		air0			6.5Mbps
	b card -> g ap => b max rate of 11Mbps
engenius		capap			5.8Mbps
	b card -> b ap => b max rate of 11Mbps


air0, eng1, and capap access points 
(air0 in upstairs hall, capap in dining room, eng1 upstairs or dining room -- 
pbg4 located as noted)
pbg4 location	wireless card in pbg4	access point		rate
kitchen		engenius		capap in dining room	5.8Mbps
kitchen		engenius		eng1 upstairs hall	5.2Mbps
kitchen		engenius		air0 upstairs hall	no connection
								or very weak

kitchen		engenius		eng1 in dining room	6.1 Mbps
	signal meters just below 11Mbps max
eric room couch	engenius		eng1 in dining room	5.7 Mbps
eric room couch	airport extreme		eng1 in dining room	no connection
								or very weak
note: connection made at den (end of LR) with eng1 upstairs or in dining room

conclusions:
	1. need both engenius card and ap for strong connection
	2. eng1 > air0, by strength of connection
	3. engenius card > airport extreme card, by strength of connection
	4. if decent connection, airport extreme card -> air0 access point
	gives greater transfer rate (g protocol)

----------

6. 11/2/03 - installed trendnet 8-port switch
compatible with straight-through or crossover cable connection
and more - especially independence of ports wrt data rate (10 or 100 Mbps)

----------



Tue Nov 04 23:44:24 MST 2003

replacement airport basestation arrived
installed
good signal == netgear
but - installation not vanilla
fiddled around, until it worked
watch:
	ip address of airport and of basestation
	setup airport==airport card from network preferences
	setup basestation from airport setup assistant (ASA), 
	with laptop disconnected from web
	check and adjust setup of basestation with airpost admin utility (AAU)
	check and adjust airport setup with network preferences

	settings are given below==earlier note

	when all set correctly for basestation, netgear=capap works also

Mon Nov 03 14:59:31 MST 2003

called apple, they will send new basestation
update firmware on current station





Sun Nov 02 00:09:17 MST 2003

over last several days began configuration of mac 15" powerbook g4, jaguar

--------------------

1. vpn client installed from uofa download.

works like a charm - full speed access (essentially) to uofa site-licensed
electronic journals

--------------------

2. changed configuration files on server.rupley.com:

/etc/X0.hosts:

10.0.0.2
10.0.0.3	#added ip address of airport basestation
10.0.0.6	#added ip address of pbg4 laptop
10.0.0.8



/etc/hosts:

# default address for lan side of cisco 678 dsl modem
# lan-wan gateway
10.0.0.1        cisco.dakotacom.net     cisco

# address for server (cisco default) on lan side of cisco dsl link;
# all wan-side traffic to rupley.com passed to server.rupley.com;
# NOTE: problems with mx records and sendmail, at least, if do not alias
# server.rupley.com with rupley.com
# rupley.com == wan symbolic name for ip addr at dakotacom.net
# also, wan-side, rupley.com is aliased to www.rupley.com
# (old: on 010808, wan-side rupley.com == www.rupley.com  = 150.135.176.246)
# (current: on 030813, wan-side rupley.com == www.rupley.com  = 6.9.16.123)
# NOTE: other functions require the aliasing: xntpd packet addressing, ...
# [I imagine there is a more elegant and logical way of doing this...]
10.0.0.2        server.rupley.com       rupley.com      server

# apple airport extreme basestation
# added 031030
10.0.0.3        air0.rupley.com         air0            jarap

# somewhat arbitrarily chosen ip(s) from same public group of addresses
# for other box(es) on lan side
10.0.0.8        iris.rupley.com         iris

# another ip address and name, for whoever wants to connect to our intranet,
# i.e., eric when home, ....
10.0.0.5        capricorn.rupley.com    capricorn       esar

# and another for eric to play with:
# but as of 031030 taken over by jar for apple powerbook g4 laptop, 15"
10.0.0.6        capricorn2.rupley.com   capricorn2      esar2

# and yet another for eric to play with:
# nb: this is the netgear access point
10.0.0.7        capap.rupley.com        capap           esarap

--------------------

3. setup to connect pbg4 to ethernet

	system preferences to network

		location	automatic
		show		builtin-ethernet
		tcp/ip
			configure	manually
			ip address	10.0.0.6
			dns servers	66.192.152.154
					66.192.152.155
					128.196.11.233
			subnet mask	255.255.255.0
			router		10.0.0.1
			search domains	air0.rupley.com		???
			ethernet address	00:0a:95:d9:df:1c

--------------------

4. setup pbg4 to connect wireless (pbg4 aiport extreme card):
to eric's netgear access point
to airport basestation access point

	system preferences to network

		location	automatic
		show		airport
		tcp/ip
			configure	manually
			ip address	10.0.0.6
			dns servers	66.192.152.154
					66.192.152.155
					128.196.11.233
			subnet mask	255.255.255.0
			router		10.0.0.1
			search domains	
			ethernet address	00:0a:95:f4:4e:c3
		airport
			airport id	00:0a:95:f4:4e:c3
			after restart etc
					join most recently used avail network
						remember passwd
					allow this computer to create networks
					show airport status in menu bar

--------------------

4. setup port configuration:

	system preferences to network

		location	automatic
		show		network port configurations
			turn off bluetooth, internal modem ports
			turn on built-in ethernet, airport, pptp (???)
			be sure ethernet above airport in list, 
				so it is accessed if available

--------------------

5. setup basestation as bridge, from ethernet lan network to wireless network:

basestation  name:	air0
network name		air0
connected via		ethernet
ip address		10.0.0.3
antenna			external, when configured

channel			automatic
mode			802.11b/g compatible

subnet mask		255.255.255.0
router address		10.0.0.1
dns servers		as for sgi via dakotacom.net
domain name		air0.rupley.com
wan ethernet speed	automatic

distribute ip addresses		off

port mapping, access, authentication, wds 	all off

nb: there was some trouble doing the setup:
	connect laptop to net
	connect base to net via LAN port
	turn basestation on, with antenna attached

	launch airport setup assistant, and follow instructions for 
	setup of new base station

	launch airport admin utility, and follow instructions,
	including at some point, the switch of net connection from
	LAN to WAN port - be sure to turn off distribution of ip addresses

the airport is used as a bridge, from the ethernet lan to a wireless lan
no nat or dhcp
[nat is handled by the cisco dsl-router]

works ok,
BUT signal weak!!!!
weaker than with eric's netgear!!!!
cannot go through a wall

tried changing some of the setup parameters, 
especially channel setting and mode
best (but still not good == fails or very slow across room)
	channel 11, mode b/g
(capap gives better == good == useful signal level upstairs study,
when ap located in dining room)



Thu Aug 21 11:50:33 MST 2003

NB:

	for log file on and before this date, see:

		LOG-031223

	size of file suggested splitting LOG at time of
	purchase/configuration of pbg4
