- This is a binart package of Scotty and tkined
- for Linux. It may need the shared tcl libs
- (included in the Slackware Distribution)
-
- Scotty is an enhanced tcl-interpreter that
- supports icmp, tcp, snmp and more
-
- tkined is a network editor based on tcl/tk.
-
- Together they are a Network Management Software with features
- for example to monitor and discover TCP/IP Networks
-
- I just compiled and tared it for those who don't know it
- or who have difficulties compiling it.
-
- I included the README from the source below, but
- the source is not included in this package.
- See below where you can get it.

- =====================================================
-
- This directory contains the source of tkined, an application
- independent network editor. This version is a re-implementation of the
- original INED editor described in a paper presented at SANS II, April
- 1993. The PostScript version of the paper can be found in the file
- ined.ps.Z on ftp.ibr.cs.tu-bs.de in the directory /pub/local/papers.
-
- The source of tkined is also available from ftp.ibr.cs.tu-bs.de and
- can be found in the directory /pub/local. The file is called
- tkined-*.tar.Z. To install tkined, you *need* tk Version 3.6. First
- unpack the tar archive:
-
- > uncompress tkined-*.tar.Z
- > tar xvf tkined-*.tar
-
- Now you have to compile tkined. Take a look at Makefile.in for
- some configuration options. If everything looks fine, just type
-
- > ./configure
-
- There are some options to configure to help you in case configure
- can not find the tcl or tk library because it is installed in a non
- standard setup:
-
- --with-tcl-include=<path>
- --with-tcl-library=<path>
- --with-tk-include=<path>
- --with-tk-library=<path>
-
- The default compiler is cc. You can force the use of gcc by using:
-
- --with-gcc
-
- Once configure has set up the Makefile, you can compile tkined:
-
- > make
-
- If everything is well, copy the scripts and the bitmap files to the
- directories specified in the Makefile.
-
- > make install
-
- The file tkined.defaults contains a sample configuration. You may want
- to merge it with your personal tkined.defaults file. Your personal
- tkined.defaults file is searched in the directory ~/.tkined. Consult
- the man page for more details.
-
- If you have problems or if you have made any changes to run tkined on
- a new hardware platform, please contact us. This will make sure that
- future versions will compile out of the box. You might want to join
- the tkined mailing list which should serve as a place for the
- discussion of tkined related themes. Bug fixes and updates will be
- announced on this list. Send requests to:
-
- tkined-request@ibr.cs.tu-bs.de
-
- Note that requests are handled by a majordomo server. (You can send
- messages to majordomo@ibr.cs.tu-bs.de for further information about
- the tkined list and what you can do with majordomo.) Once subscribed,
- you can send messages to the list address, which is:
-
- tkined@ibr.cs.tu-bs.de
-
- You might also consider to get scotty, a tcl interpreter that has
- extensions to set up tcp connections, to submit ping packets and to
- query various RPC services. Scotty turns tkined into a small but nice
- network management station. Scotty is available from
- ftp.ibr.cs.tu-bs.de in /pub/local/scotty-0.*.tar.Z.
-
- You will find a paper presented at LISA VII (November 1993) describing
- scotty's network discovering script on ftp.ibr.cs.tu-bs.de in the file
- /pub/local/papers/discover.ps.Z. There is an additional paper describing
- our computer network configuration database called bones (bones.ps.Z)
- which has been presented at SANS II, April 1993
-
- We would also like to get nice icons for all sort of machines. If you
- make new icons and if you are willing to share then with us, please
- drop us a note (and the icons :-).
-
- Edmund J. Sutcliffe <ejs1@tower.york.ac.uk> told me about an archive
- of sun net manager icons at zippy.Telcom.arizona.edu. These icons are
- in Sun's icon format but could be easily converted to xbitmap format.

- Credits:
-
- tkined started as an experiment to rewrite an already existing network
- editor called ined on top of the tk/tcl toolkit. The InterViews version
- was written by Thomas Birke (birke@ibr.cs.tu-bs.de) and Hinnerk
- Ruemenapf (rueme@ibr.cs.tu-bs.de).
-
- Guntram Hueske (hueske@ibr.cs.tu-bs.de) turned the stripchart and
- barchart tcl code into C code that implements two new canvas items.
- Stefan Schoek (schoek@ibr.cs.tu-bs.de) contributed the simple job
- scheduler found in ined.tcl. It is used by monitoring scripts to
- handle multiple jobs in one process.
-
- Erik Schoenfelder (schoenfr@ibr.cs.tu-bs.de) contributed ideas that
- really improved the tkined interface. He is also a very good tester.
-
- Thanks to Brian Bartholomew (bb@math.ufl.edu) for some interesting
- proposals and Henning G. Schulzrinne (hgs@research.att.com) for some
- bug reports.
-
- And also many thanks to all the bug reports and suggestions reported
- to me or the tkined mailing list.
