It's arrogant to expect people to actually look
at instructions before soliciting "free" help? I
mean if he actually was able to get tcpserver
installed, he obviously knows how to use a web
browser since he must have downloaded it, and
if that's the case, it is not much more trouble
to go one click deeper on the ucspi-tcp page:
http://cr.yp.to/ucspi-tcp.html
to find the tcpserver manual:
http://cr.yp.to/ucspi-tcp/tcpserver.html
What do you want? People to sit here and tell
him, please go back to where you downloaded it
from and use the thing called a 'mouse' to 'click'
on this stuff called 'text' that says "The tcpserver
program"?

Hi,
First of all: This is the most arrogant list I have come across. All
the other lists that I'm on help out beginners with a short answer (we
were all beginners once ... ), but here the beginner is either told to
RTFM or told to pay for support. If the beginner can't find the
relevant section in the FAQ then answers have to be teased out of the
list, which generates more traffic than one short and helpful mail
(this thread is a good example of this).
Regarding the tcpserver question:
AFAIK (and I'm no expert), TCPSEVER is configured in the command line,
and uses /etc/tcp.* files for security & access settings. The manual
files are installes with the software and can be read with "man
tcpserver". Else they're in the source directory.
Regards,
Barry
PS: Flames will be directed to /dev/null but sensible comments will be
considered.
PPS: I've included the whole thread ONLY to demonstrate the above
statement.
