[HECnet] dnprogs 2.46 for Linux released (NEW FEATURES!)

I'm very pleased to announce the new dnprogs release. With not one, not two, but FOUR new programs - you lucky people :-) The first two were contributed by Philipp 'ph3-der-loewe' Schafft and consist of two command-line utilities: dnetstat is a version of netstat for DECnet, it reformats the /proc file output in a more user-friendly manner. dnetcat is a DECnet version of netcat, an invaluable utility for all network nerds. Philipp has offered to update the wiki to show how to use this utility to run SSH over DECnet! And finally, I have also been busy. I have done something I said I'd write years ago and that's an Network Management Listener program. Yes, finally you can go into NCP on a VMS or RSX system (yes, I tested it on RSX, thanks Johnny) and type in "TELL LINUX SHOW ADJACENT NODES". It only supports a subset of commands at the moment, but I will probably add more. It currently will do: SHOW/LIST KNOWN NODES SHOW ADJACENT NODES SHOW EXEC CHAR To make this work you'll need to add a new line to dnetd.conf - see the sample file shipped with the package for the details. There's also a client side version of that, well partly. dncopynodes allows a Linux user to pull a node list off a remote VMS or RSX system and build up a full decnet.conf file. It will fill in the current exec details too so that the file it generates can simply be copied to /etc. WARNING ... DO NOT do 'dncopynodes > /etc/decnet.conf' as it will overwrite the file before it gets a chance to use it to make the initial connection! http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=4993&package_id=5… -- Chrissie
