- The socket.llibrary and ENV:socketconfig do not come with AmiTCP or
- PPP.device. You need to set the variable socketconfig either in ENVARC: or in
- AmiTCP:bin/startnet. Add this line to AmiTCP:bin/startnet:
- setenv socketconfig "UID=1 GID=1 USER=Yourname DOMAIN=your.domain UMASK=002"
-
- Of course, you need to change it to your settings. I find the USER and DOMAIN
- settings cause the least amount of problems if you get them from your email
- address. I use Kainaw and cris.com because my email address is
- Kainaw@cris.com.
