Package "seyon"


telecommunications under X

The best telecommunications package for X available at present; it has separate windows for control, terminal, telephone register, etc. Seyon supports several protocols (Zmodem, Kermit, etc.) and auto download (only Zmodem). Using the built-in script language, automatic login or up/downloading is no longer a problem.

Attention : For security reasons we had to remove the sgid bit for the uucp group. Please note, that all users that should be able to use seyon must be added to the group uucp (e.g. with YaST).

If there are only only "trusted users" in your system and you want to ensure, that seyon is usable for all of them, add the following line to /etc/permissions.local and call SuSEconfig

/usr/X11R6/bin/seyon root.uucp 2755

The actual transmission is provided by the several programs like sz/rz/kermit. Since we are not allowed to supply kermit with our distribution you have to get it yourself from the Internet (ftp: kermit.columbia.edu). Please look at the various sites as sunsite.unc.edu or any server which mirrors sunsite (ftp.gwdg.de under /pub/Linux/X11/xapps/comm or /pub/Linux/apps/comm). You have to configure ~/.seyon/protocol to use it.
