Re: [coldsync-hackers] An idiot and his Mac

[Lars Bell <lars@praestare.com>]

hi,

First of all I sort of figured out the /etc and /usr deal.  I 
assumed, wrongly, that if I did a ls -la that I could see 
"everything" in that directory,  that turns out not to be so.  If 
instead I do ls -la /etc  I see what is in this /etc place.

What is even more perplexing to me is that if I switch to the Mac OS 
and use Sherlock (the mac GUI search) it can not find the etc 
directory.  hmmm....
No matter I got it figured out enough to use it now.

This is what I did next....


[localhost:~] larsbell% sudo pico /etc/services
Password:

    UW PICO(tm) 2.3                 File: /etc/services                Modified

#
# Divert sockets
#
natd            8668/divert             # NAT support
netsync-wakeup  14237/udp  #Palm network hotsync wakeup
netsync  14238/tcp  #Palm network hotsync data

                                [ Wrote 92 lines ]

[localhost:~] larsbell%

(by the way, are those multple spaces or tabs?  In between netsync 
and 14238?)  Just wondering.

then....

to /etc/inetd.conf with sudo
netsync-wakeup	dgram	udp	wait	root 
	/usr/local/bin/coldsync coldsync -md -t net -s -
was added to the end of the file with pico


then I tried to do the kill thing with, but did not get a result that 
I would have expected.  Here is the output...

[localhost:~] larsbell% kill -HUP inetd.
kill: Arguments should be jobs or process id's.
[localhost:~] larsbell% kill -HUP inetd
kill: Arguments should be jobs or process id's.


O'well at least i went a little further along.

I then went and created a coldsync.rc file that looks like this
listen serial {
	device: "/dev/palm";
	speed: 38400;
	}




pda "10841540RVTP" {
	snum: "108354M91A6D-R";
	directory: "/users/larsbell/colddata/.palmIII";
}


conduit sync {
	path: [generic];
	type: */*;
	default;
	}


But I don't know where to put it.  Any suggestions?


this also seems to be a problem....
[localhost:~] larsbell% ls /dev/palm/
ls: /dev/palm/: No such file or directory


I then went into the Mac control panel called "sharing"  and checked 
the option called "allow remote login."

  I then tried using a sharware program called Pocketerm available 
from download.com.  But it said that it could not find host 
"192.168.254.2"  which happens to be my ip number for now. (dynamic)
When I push the connect buttom it dials the modem just fine and logs 
into the isp and maintains the connection.

I have checked resolve if #
Remote port : 23
Local To: 300
Rem to: 900
When starting connection use this port: 5024
more options... (listed those checked)
enable telnet
non-block
respond to AYT
opt: Terminal Type
verbose

another dead end for now.



I'll try more later.  Thanks for the help so far.
