ipbox
ipbox
This program is used for remote access. Its main function is for stringer copy
in and mailboxes out.
It can also be used for syndication clients who wish to dial-in in-order to
receive their copy.
There is an option to access wires on the UnixBox that have already been left
in spool/wires by IPWIRES or the W4 wires structure in /fip/data/w4.
For Atex sites with Gateway, there is also an option to allow access to files
on the J11.
The main types of service are :
1. Straight copy inbound
2. Ordinary mailbox - read and store and delete
3. Syndication mailbox - reading a list and accounting for it later.
poss with ability to send message AND/OR read personal box.
4. Scroll and Read wire files.
5. Send/Receive messages
6. Scroll and Read editorial system lists and queues
7. Send E-mails (actually passes file to ipsmtp)
Send msg (to the user) ie incoming msgs are sent to spool/post for IPPOST to
further distribute either to the Editorial System or elsewhere.
Files (and messages and stored mailbox files) may optionally be received via
KERMIT or X/Y/ZMODEM protocols.
Once logged on, the remote user can use AAI-like commands or can be lead
through via a series of menus.
The Command-driven interface commands are :
lo logon logon
lo logon,passwd logon
lo logoff
sd file send file to default dest
sd file-q-g send file to q-g
sd file/k send file using Kermit
sd file/x send file using Xmodem
sd file/y send file using Ymodem
sd file/z send file using Zmodem

the Headline
Selective directories may also use '&' for AND and '!' (or '|') for OR
eg : ds rtr/s=usa&mexico
ds wirename/k=POOL display a selective directory of all items with 'POOL' in
the first part of text
(W4 wires only)
ds wirename/t>21:30 display a selective directory of all items after 21:30 (24
hour clock)

Mailbox Logon file (tables/mail/LOGON) has the syntax :
; comments are preceded by ';'
logon:name - logon name
The logon name can contain spaces when typed in which
should be specified as a single underscore '_'.
otherwise only letters, numbers, dashes (-_),
dollar sign and apostrophes ('") are valid
eg logon:fat_frank
pass:pass - password default: none
width:40 - width of the screen default: 80
lines:24 - no of lines of screen default: 0/none
eol:\r\n - end-of-line sequence default: CR LF
dest:mailbox - destination (in USERS) for incoming traffic
default: mailbox
box:boxname - name of valid mailbox to read.default: none
syn:synname - name of valid syndication queue to read.
default: none
use-w4-wires: - use the same data files as for w4, the fip web browser
in /fip/data/w4. The default is files in spool/savewires
generated by 'ipwires'.
profile: profilename - profile for wires/atex queue access
(atex via NFS Gateway only) default: none
fifo: - read mailbox or syn dirs in fifo order
default: lifo
msgonj11: - The msg file resides on the Atex J11 and NOT on the rs6000.
An (optional) logon can be added if the j11 logon
is different to the ipbox LOGON.
eg msgonj11:albert
default: msg file is on the rs6000
boxonj11: - The default mailbox file resides on the Atex J11 and NOT on the
rs6000.
default: mailbox file is on the rs6000
gtwysvr:host,port - Gateway is on a different rs6000 of name 'host'.
The port defaults to 9130.
default: Gateway is on this rs6000
purge:4 - no of days unread mail and msgs is held
before deleted default: 30 days
noecho: - do NOT echo commands for this logon
echo: - echo commands for this logon
echo:endOfLine - echo commands AND and End-of-lines (CR or NL)
return-address: - for sending emails, this is used for the From fields
rather than using the actual logon (FipHdr SA).
menu: - allowable menu commands if using menu
pls see the actual values in the 'menu' command below.
extrahdr: (string) Extra FipHdr fields to add to any incoming files from this
user
eg extrahdr:BZ:scott default:none
Examples :
;sample mailbox for remote correspondant with a PC
logon:sadaam pass:qwait box:oil dest:abroad
;sample mailbox for remote correspondant with a tandy
logon:arthur pass:scargill box:coal dest:home width:40
logon:paul pass:bike syn:ach dest:zibble width:0 fifo: purge:4
The Profile file (tables/mail/PROFILE) describes what access a logon has for a
particular profile and has the syntax :
; comment
profile:(prfname) wires: (wiresq1), .. (wireqn)
profile:(prfname) box:(box1), .. (boxn)
profile:(prfname) atex: (atexgrp) : (atexq1) .. (atexqn)
or profile:(prfname) atex: (atexgrp) : *
profile:(prfname) chrset: (mailchrset)
profile:(prfname) plus: (name of SUBSEQUENT profilename)
profile:(prfname) dir:(name) (command-line Directory syntax)
Examples :
profile:hp wires:dpa,afp,reu
profile:hp atex:sys:custom,fip
profile:hp atex:wir:spike,anp
profile:hp atex:usr:*
profile:hp atex:vk:anpbin,anpbui,anpfin
profile:hp chrset:rom
profile:hp box:hp,hpspt,hpfin
profile:wir wires:dpa,afp,reu
where :
-- There can be many lines for the same profile name.
-- Only one type of subkeyword - WIRES, CHRSET etc - can be specified on one
line
-- WIRES is a list of valid wires queues under spool/savwires. If more than
one day is keep - as in reu, reu.1, reu.2 etc - only the base - reu in this
example - needs to be stated.
-- BOX allows access to any mailboxes in spool/mail. Note that files must be
lowercase in these mailboxes.
-- CHRSET - The chrset parameter is to describe character translation from the
J11 to the user when using Atex Gateway. The standard chrset is in
tables/mail/ATEX_CHRSET (see below).
-- ATEX is dependent on program 'ipsvrgtw' running to access the j11. A star,
'*', in place of the queue means all queues in that group.
-- PLUS allows you to add a couple of changes to a generic profile eg:
'art' here can look at wire que 'upi' in addition to the normal 'dpa', 'afp' or
'reu' as specified in the 'wir' profile.
profile:art wires:upi
profile:art plus:wir
profile:wir wires:dpa,afp,reu
Only one 'plus' is valid - you cannot plus another profile which has a plus!
Also the added-to profile - 'wir' in the case above - MUST occur AFTER the
calling profile - 'art' in this case.
ie PLUS must refer to a profile which is physically later on in the PROFILE
file.
MailBox setup file (tables/mail/BOX) has the syntax :
; comment Remarks
conn:CONNECT - connect string from the modem/pad
disc:NO CARRIER\r - disconnect string from the modem/pad

Note that normal running will take Zmodem
and Kermit automatically at any point.
However, for Xmodem and Ymodem, 'ipbox' needs
to prompt the sender with a 'C' for the sender
to start. It can be stopped by several CntrlX's.

desk which will be used for the BQ: hdr field unless
overwritten in the USERS file.
allow-subdesks:y - for SII and CCI systems this allows a user to specify a
subdesk which will be used for the BQ: hdr field unless

This parameter file may also be used to change the prompts and messages for the
user. A complete list of such messages are described later.
Where queue verification is required, a file containing all valid queues is
created in tables/mail. This has no comments and has each queue-group on a
separate line.
The list of queue-groups is valid for all incoming files on that port. If the
q-g specified is NOT in the list the incoming file is rejected.
The queues file is specified as an input parameter in the SYSTEM file.
For Atex Gateway there is a character translation table,
tables/mail/ATEX_CHRSET, used for outbound text. This can be altered by the
profile file. The syntax for this is :
; comment
(atex chr) (outbound chr or string) (newline)
where the Atexchr is either a printable or an octal no eg \003
and the outbound chr/string caan be a mixture of printable chrs, octal numbers
or unix escape chrs. Note that a comment (;) needs to be specified as an octal
number.
ONLY those chrs that need to be changed need be in the file - all others are
passed thru.
If the standard messages need to be changed, they can be in the standard
mailbox setup file (tables/mail/BOX by default) in addition to all the other
setups. The keyword and current settings of these are :
banner: "\021\021\nWelcome - Mailbox\n"

The menu interface can be set as default for all by specifying 'menu:' keyword
in the BOX parameter file or set for this logon (If set as default, specify
'cmdline:' for individuals who still want the command line interface)
The default menu is "CSRMEBWJPDHZL?X"

order. The default is :
menu-codes:CSRMEBWJPDZLH?XQSZ
which is to say the first position is the letter for Call, the 2nd Send etc
eg
position 1 Call a File default 'C'

To disable any command, use a single comma or dot.
eg to disable any Messages and J11 and all Options
menu-codes:CS..EBW.PD.LH?X...
There should be NO spaces or tabs before or embedded in the parameter.
Input parameters are :
Mandatory :
either -s : terminal server/spider or tty port default: none
-p : port if terminal server default: none
or -P : Port on UnixBox to use for outbound default: none
This is only used where Terminal Servers canNOT run reverse telnet
correctly and need to set a Permanent Virtual Connection across
the ethernet to a fixed port number on the UnixBox
Where the Port is NOT on the default ethernet '-s' can be used to
specify the hostname on the correct ethernet.
-n : name of service default: none
Optional :
-1 Run for one logon/connection and then exit default: loop for the next
connection
This can be used in a Script to run once and stop. Do not use inside the
normal
SYSTEM file.
-A : archive log name default: name of logon
This is advisable - otherwise you will get an archive log
in log/data for each logon that sends.
This fills in the FipHdr field SL.
-l : logon file def: tables/mail/LOGON
-L : profile file def: tables/mail/PROFILE
-t : mailbox setup file default: tables/mail/BOX
-d : queue or desk check file default: none
If specified this file should be Uppercase and in tables/mail.
Only the filename should be specified.
-D : Default type of queue for all directories default: b for box on mailbox
This is a single chr :
b - normal unix mailbox in spool/mail
w - Wires queue in spool/savwires
e - SES database (must have a SES server specified)
a - Atex Gateway (must have a Atex Gateway specified)
-E : Treat socket errors as disconnects default: error = network problems
Use this switch if you are using Modem COntrol on the terminal server.
-h : hide mailbox default: force logon
This is where a code needs to entered for the
mailbox logon prompt to be allowed.
In this case sending incoming files is the default.
-N : deduct 1 from the no of lines default: no
ie ds/3 gives 2 lines
-o : Output folder for incoming files default: spool/2go
-R : service name for tables/route default: logon name
This fills in the FipHdr field SR and is only used if the output
queue (-o) is set to '2brouted' for iproute to check each file.
-w : Wires Path default: spool/savwires
-T : Timeout period in secs default: 120 secs
If no chrs are received in this period the user is logged off.
-C : Timeout on both characters in and since last command
default: chrs only.
-X : Turn Telnet Transparency off default: on
For terminal servers, is the port set to transparency On or Off ?
-u : Zmodem escape control chrs mode default: no
-U : Raw or Telnet NO-escape mode default: telnet transparency ON
For terminal servers, is the port set to transparency ?
-y : terminal server uses a different banner. default: Spiderbanner
-Y : terminal server has NO banner at all. default: Spiderbanner
-z : add seqno to filename (6 chrs) as (3 digit) extension (6.3)
ie for DEC/Atex style filenames default: no
-Z : add seqno to filename: 5 chrs and 3 digits default: no
ie for PC/Writer style filenames
-v : display version number and exit.
There are two enviornment variables :
FIP_BOX_J11HDRFLDS a series of 2 letter J11 hdr field codes you
wish to see in a directory line of Gateway queues.
default: "NOFRRE" The default shows fields NO tab FR tab RE.
This is overridden by the "dirhdrflds" parameter
FIP_BOX_MINSIZE The minimum size of a file or message inbound.
default: 20 chrs. The minimum size must be between 1 and 100.
NOTE that to use Kermit and/or Zmodem the line/terminal server port etc MUST be
setup for 8 bits, No Parity and preferably Hardware flow control NOT XON/XOFF.
NOTE that as the Zmodem end of session flag is 'OO', it is advised that you do
NOT use 'oo' as one of the commands !!
NOTE that to send E-mail you need to point Fip Destination 'internet_mail_xbox'
to an 'ipsmtp' output queue - usually spool/2smtp.
NOTE that the syntax for a menu wire list before/after a time is
between 6pm and 7.30 : >18<19:30
after 22:00 or 10pm : >22:00
before 6:30 pm yesterday : <-1 18.30
where -1 is used to specify yesterday, -5 for 5 days ago etc.
only files in a single day's list can be searched.
The same for using the Command interface is :
ds news_home/t<-1 21:00 : all news_home before 21:00 yesterday
ds ap/t<-2 18:00/t>-2 17:50 : all ap between 17:50 and 18:00 2 days ago
