Rwho, rwhod & ruptime build, install and run without a hitch from the net2
distribution. Rwho shows who is logged in on the local network, rwhod
is the system status server daemon that shares the info among the local
machines for all this to work, and ruptime shows an uptime-like status
for all the local machines.
Below are complete instructions for obtaining, building and installing
these tools:
1. Get rwho, rwhod & ruptime from an FTP site.
For gatekeeper.dec.com, get the contents of the directories
/.0/BSD/net2/usr.bin/rwho
/.0/BSD/net2/usr.bin/rwall
/.0/BSD/net2/usr.sbin/rwhod
2. Create the following directories:
/usr/src/usr.bin/rwho
/usr/src/usr.bin/rwall
/usr/src/usr.sbin/rwhod
and copy the contents of the corresponding directories from net2 into
them. Decompress any files ending in .Z.
3. Cd to each directory in-turn and do a "make" and "make install" (and
"make clean" if you'd like). rehash if you're a csh user.
4. mkdir /var/rwho
5. change the "rwhod" entry in /etc/netstart from NO to YES.
6. Reboot, or start rwhod by hand.
You should probably read the manpages. If you have a large network the
load and overhead can be a problem.
