CHANGES - Change history UPTIMES - How to get a "last connections up for" display NETWORK - How to get client confurgations to follow a user FAQ - Frequently asked questions Mini_HOWTO - Examples really
There are four directories:
- linux
This contains the source, manual page and makefile for the dialmon daemon for Linux. It has been compiled and run under RedHat Linux 5.1 with kernel 2.0.34, and 4.2 with kernels 2.0.20 and 2.0.36. It also contains a simple tcl/tk client for Linux; this needs wish to run. There is code for shadow passwords, but I have not been able to test this (thanx to someone though!)
- windows
This directory contains actual sources and stuff for the Windows clients. The win31 and win95 contain appropriate symbolic links into this directory.
- win31
This contains stuff to build the Win31 version of dialm (using MSVC1.5) and built executable dialm16.exe. This runs under WfWG31 with MicroSoft TCP/IP installed.
- win95
This contains stuff to build the Win95/98/NT4 version of dialm (using MSVC4.0) and also contains a pre-built executable diaml32.exe
