- This perl script allows one to connect up archie into gopher.
-
- To install it do something similar to the following: (these
- instructions are geared towards SunOS...)
-
- 1) Add an entry to the /etc/services file like this:
-
- archiegate 7999/tcp
-
- 2) Remake the NIS databases if necessary (cd /var/yp; make)
-
- 3) Add a line to the /etc/inetd.conf file:
-
- archgoph stream tcp nowait root /etc/gateway.pl gateway.pl
-
- The sixth argument should be the full path to your gateway script.
-
- 4) Edit the script and set the port and host of the gateway machine.
-
- 5) Then find the process ID of the inetd process and send it a HUP
- signal:
-
- kill -HUP {inetd PID}
-
-
- 6) Test it out by telnetting to the port you specified in the services
- file, send it a query...
-
- telnet mudhoney.micro.umn.edu 7999
- Connected to mudhoney.micro.umn.edu.
- Escape character is '^]'.
- gopher
- {results returned here...}
- .
-
- 7) Make a link from your gopher database to the gateway.
