Introduction

Microsoft Windows Services for UNIX is a Microsoft product used to extend the functionality of the Windows operating environment. It provides a complete replacement for the standard Windows POSIX environment as well as providing a large number of UNIX based utilities. In particular the perl scripting language and a POSIX compliant shell (Korn Shell) are provided. Services also exist which allow for password synchronisation between UNIX and Windows based servers. Microsoft Windows Services for UNIX is a fully supported Microsoft product.

Fix perl link

The perl executable is installed in the /usr/local/bin directory. All KE EMu scripts expect to find perl in /usr/bin. Hence a link is required so that /usr/bin/perl > /usr/local/bin/perl.

1. Log in as Administrator.
2. Start a Korn Shell with Start>Programs>Windows Services for UNIX>Korn Shell.
3. Enter ln -s /usr/local/bin/perl /usr/bin/perl
4. Enter exit to terminate the Korn shell.

Setup Telnet

It is not necessary to have telnet enabled on your server for EMu to operate. However in order to provide remote support KE Software recommends that the service be available. If telnet is not enabled some other remote administration tool (e.g. NetMeeting) may be used.

Disable Windows telnet daemon

1. Log in as Administrator.
2. Windows NT: Open the Control Panel with Start>Settings>Control Panel
   -OR-
   Windows 2000: Open the Control Panel with Start>Settings>Control Panel>Administrative Tools
   -OR-
   Windows XP: Open the Control Panel with Start>Control Panel>Administrative Tools
3. Open the Services Icon. The Services window will open.
4. Double click on the Telnet service from the services list.  The Telnet Properties dialog box will open.
5. Select Disabled in the Startup type: list
6. Check the Service Status:. If the service is not Stopped click Stop.
7. Click OK to close the Telnet Properties dialog box.
8. Click Close.

Enable SFU telnet daemon

1. Log in as Administrator.
2. Start a Korn Shell with Start>Programs>Windows Services for UNIX>Korn Shell.
3. vi /etc/inetd.conf
4. Locate the telnet daemon line:
   #telnet stream tcp nowait NULL /usr/sbin/in.telnetd in.telnetd -i
   and remove the leading #. Save the file.
5. Enter ps -ef | grep inetd and get the process id of inetd (it is the first number listed).
6. Enter kill -HUP processid
7. Enter exit to terminate the Korn shell.
