Subject: Nermal: report for week ending 19sep92.

X-Pmrqc: 1

X-Mailer: Pegasus Mail v2.3 (R3).

X-Pmlist: Project nermal

Last week, I said:

>I think I'll adopt a new format, with briefer descriptions.

The new format lists the primary objective for the period, the tasks to be completed to reach that objective, and each task's status. Footnotes explain pending items. For this report, I'll cover everything from the project's beginning -- future reports will only cover those items whose status has changed.

The following is archived on nermal under: /usr/adm/nermal/worklog.3

____________________________________________________________________

Objective 1: Hardware, OS, and system binary installation. (by 28sep)

Task	Status

-----------------------------------------------------

Hardware installation	Pending (1)

OS Installation & configuration	Completed [see remark (1)].

Software installation	Pending (2)

-----------------------------------------------------

(1)	Hard disk reconfiguration in progress. (Includes complete archive)

Multi-port serial card not yet installed.

(2)	Installed binaries:

("*" denotes compiled on site. "%" denotes new this week.)

System:

sh (bash), ps (*), w (*), free (*), top (*%), who, wall, write.

all filesystem utilities (mount+friends, cp+friends, ls+friends, etc.)

all terminal utilities (getty, stty, setterm, etc.)

find, whereis, patch

cc (gcc) (GNU cc version 2.2.2d)

standard archive utilities (tar, compress)

Active network services:

telnet, finger(%), echo, discard, daytime, chargen.

(note: nermal is registered on the .santarosa.edu DNS: odie.)

User:

man, apropos, whatis (with most pages)

nroff (w/ -man & -ms) (limited -- will need groff, eventually)

all standard text utilities (cut, paste, split, grep, etc.)

GNU awk (gawk)

GNU yacc (bison)

elm (*)(note: no sendmail or smtpd yet)

joe, vi (editors)

sz+friends, rz+friends (serial file transfer) (*)

telnet, ftp, finger (latter cannot use hostname yet -- use IP address)

Remarks:

(1) The last kernel build (17sep) corrected the minor errors in tcp.c that

caused ftp to hang on premature socket closures; ftp still hangs occasionally, but for a few seconds, not minutes. One side effect: nermal

can no longer telnet itself. Finger wasn't affected.

Summary of pending items for this objective:

Hardware:	disk reconfiguration, multi-port serial card.

Software:	sendmail, smtpd, ftpd.
