Luxembourg, April 3rd, 2006


Greetings!
Finally some up-to-date packages for your Sun3 I just finished. Stay
tuned for more to come (e.g. X11R6.9[*]).

PLEASE read this text to the end before installing any of these
packages. If you find them useful, feel free to contact me by
mail.
If you have some spare 4 MB 30-Pin parity memory modules or a CG6 for
the 3/80 ([*]Which I'm going to need for testing X11R6.9 once it's
built) to give away... you'll find my mail address at the end of
this text.



==========================================================================

ntpd-4.2.0.tar.gz:
Without SSL (yet), documentation only available in *.html, as ISC dropped
the manpages a while ago. Maybe I'm going to extract the manpages from
an older ntp package some time, maybe not.
copy /opt/network/etc/ntp.conf.sample to /opt/network/etc/ntp.conf, edit
it to your needs and finally add /opt/network/etc/add_to_rc.local to
your rc.local if you want ntpd to be started at boot-time.
Read through the documentation if you want to know what the tickadj
command does.
Ignore the "mlockall(): I/O error" when ntpd is started for now. Didn't
had the time to patch it and it works fine nevertheless.


perl5.8.8.tar.gz:
Compile time was about 3 days on a 3/80, tests failed at UTF8-related
stuff. Should be ok otherwise.



openssh-4.3p2+openssl-0.98a+ocrandom_rev2.tar.gz:
Latest openssl and openssh as of March 26th, 2006

ocrandom provides a /dev/urandom and is (at least on such old machines)
much faster than the sluggish PRNGD/EGD. Randomness of the provided data
seemed to be sufficient to me.

/opt/security/etc/ssh/genkeys will generate the SSH keypairs. Took
a bit more than 1hr on my 3/80 so be sure to have a good can of coffee
or a nice book at hand.
Add /opt/security/etc/add_to_rc.local to your rc.local to get ocrandom
and sshd started at boot-time.

UPDATE (March 30th, 2006): DNS resolving works now.

****** Be sure to read the WARNING.readme in /opt/security/etc/ssh ******



essential_gnu_rev2.tar.gz:
Some useful GNU stuff
See corresponding README



gcc-3.2.3.tar.gz:
The GNU C Compiler, Version 3.2.3
See corresponding README

==========================================================================


All packages will extract into /opt, so make sure you have a seperate
/opt filesystem or /opt is linked to some filesystem with sufficient
disk space (ntpd will only use a few megabytes, openssl/ssh uses around
15 MB and perl will chew up 42 MB!)


Usual disclaimers apply. I'm not going to be responsible if one of the
packages screws up your machine. Keep in mind this is done at my spare
time. The packages work for me and my machine. If you encounter any
problems, just drop me a mail but don't expect things to be fixed in a
day (if at all).



Have a nice day!
