INSTALLATION of ap2 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Installation hast to be done by hand, I've not yet made a package of it. (Maybe you want to volunteer?) Here is what you've got to do: su cp ap2.sh /usr/sbin/ cp ap2.conf /etc/ chown root.root /usr/sbin/ap2.sh /etc/ap2.conf ^D Then edit /etc/ap2.conf to reflect your local configuration. The file comes with enough examples, it shouldn't be hard to edit it. - Where is your local debian mirror (if you already have one) located? If you don't have one right now, you at least need to provide an empty directory. - Where can you rsync packages from? Give access to your proxy. Ap2.sh is not a standalone server. It needs inetd. Add a line like this to inetd: 9999 stream tcp nowait ftp /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/ap2.sh If you want to see logging or debugging messages, simply add a logfile name after "/usr/sbin/ap2.sh" to the line above. The file needs to be writeable!!! That's all. Don't forget to add entries in /etc/hosts.allow and/or /etc/hosts.deny. If you want to grand access to anybody, use this /etc/inetd.conf line instead: 9999 stream tcp nowait ftp /usr/sbin/ap2.sh ap2.sh For this configuration (ap2 listening on port 9999/tcp), your /etc/apt/sources.list should look like the one I ship with these files. Of course, you've got to change the host name:-) Sat Dec 8 23:37:40 CET 2001 Jan-Benedict Glaw
