Experimental RROS2
Toshiba, HP, And Digital
If you're a brave soul you want to help, try my new RROS2d RoadRunner login program.
This version supports Toshiba, HP, and Digital authentication
systems. This program has been tested in San Diego area only so far.
Prerequisites
Before you can use the new RROS2d you need to configure your network card for DHCP.
Due to a bug in WARP 4's DHCP you will need to get an MPTS update. As of 6-6-98 the
latest is WR08423 and can be found
here.
You will also need to set your domain name to be your road runner domain name (i.e.
san.rr.com). This can be done
by manually editing the resolv2 file in the ETC directory or via that GUI TCP/IP
configuration notebook on the 'Hostnames' tab. You will also need to set your
nameserver address to the same IP address as your DHCP server. This address can be
found via the dhcpmon (just type dhcpmon at a command prompt) program.
Credits:
Special thanks go out to Ben Schollnick and Jason Kowalczyk for their help testing
the Digital authenticaion code. I would never have been able to get the Digital code
working without their help and feedback.
I would also like to thank the kind folks at Time Warner for making my life a living
HELL. Why they had to make their Internet access so damn awkward I'll never know.
RROS2d:
I'm making my first attempt at RROS2d available now because I need help testing it.
I've included the source code for the commandline interface so you can get an idea
as to how the protocol is going to work. This protocol will be totally open so anyone
can write a front end for it.It's very loose but should work. Run rros2cli w/o
params to get the 'usage' info. Stay tuned for updates. Hopefully rros2 will
actually become usable soon...
RROS2d will attempt to autodetect your authentication method. If it does not detect
anything you're: not on a RoadRunner network, or do not have your doman and nameserver
set correctly, or you do not have DHCP setup correctly, or I'm just a bad programmer.
If you suspect the latter send me an e-mail (
llowrey@NuclearWinter.com).
There is currently only a commandline interface to this version of RROS2d. A PM version
is in the works.
Note to HP users:
The RROS2d source code is the same for the HP version and the non HP version. The
only difference between them is the HP support module. Any changes to the standard
RROS2d will be in the HP build of the same or later date.
Note to Ohio users:
During the transition from HP to Digital authentication you will need to follow this
procedure when running RROS2d. Once RROS2d is running, run the following commands;
preferably in a batch file.
- rros2cli setauth digital
- rros2cli set ClientVersion 20
- rros2cli login username password

rros2d.hp.0710.zip |
| Notes: |
This version has full HP support which means you need my Kerberos5 DLLs.
I managed to knock some of the HP buggs out of RROS2d. This build should
work a little better. Kinit is built in to this one so there is no need to
run kinit first.

rros2d.0710.zip |
| Notes: |
I've added debug output support and reconfigured KeepAlives for Toshiba
systems. I've also configured RROS2d to detect the authentication system
automatically so there is no real need to run 'detect.'

rros2d.full-0707.zip |
| Notes: |
First rros2d with Kerberos (HP) support. This requires my port of
Kerberos 5. You only need the "full" version if you use HP authentication.

| Notes: |
Added better Toshiba support: Error detection and KeepAlives. Also added
"better" error messages for most functions. HP functionality is next on my
list.

| Notes: |
First experimental release of new and 'improved' RROS2. The Toshiba will
not tell you if the login or logout transmissions were successful or not. I'll
be adding smarter Toshiba code in the next few days. |
