Played with TCPSERVER a little more this morning and I'm still unable to
connect to port 25 (telnet listserv.genexchange.com 25) but if I run 'ps ax'
I don't see anything running that would be using port 25 either. I have
already removed SMTP from xinetd.d so I know xinetd isn't trying to bind
port 25, but if it was I should be able to connect to it right? So perhaps
I thought I didn't set up tcpserver correctly and decided to go back through
the steps again.
I downloaded the tar to /usr/local/src/ and then untarred it to
/usr/local/src/ucspi-tcp-0.88 and ran 'make' and then 'make setup check' in
that directory. Then as Dan's installation instructions
(ftp://koobera.math.uic.edu/www/ucspi-tcp/install.html) indicates I
"installed" tcpserver to /usr/local/ but I don't see any changes, or
anything different than from last night. I ran 'install -d /usr/local/' but
nothings changed, nor do I see any new directories or files in /usr/local/.
That has to be the problem I would think because nothing else is using port
25 on this system.
running install --help indicates installation can be done in one of three
methods. I chose the third option orignally but just now tried a simpler
option (the second) as such "install /usr/local/ucspi-tcp-0.88/ /usr/local/"
and got the following error
install: basename.c:67: base_name: Assertion 'all_slashes || *(p-1) |= '/''
failed.
