~ftp/x500/README: University of Michigan X.500 related distributions This is the long list; see ~ftp/x500/MANIFEST for shorter descriptions. 9 June 1992 DIXIE server/library/ud client Location: ~ftp/x500/dixie-1.4.tar.Z Version: 1.4 Description: The dixie distribution contains an intermediate protocol server that speaks X.500 on one side and dixie on the other (over udp/tcp). The server does protocol translation, ASN.1 encoding/decoding, etc. The server is used by the maX.500 client described below. Also included is a simple Unix client called ud, and an application library that can be used by programmers to access the dixie protocol (and thus X.500). Many of the other X.500 servers and clients developed at U-M and elsewhere make use of this software. Changes: Support for audio attributes and jpeg format photos has been added to the server and client library. The client library has been enhanced to try all IP addresses the dixie server name has listed in its DNS record (up to 4 IP addresses on DOS and on the Macintosh). Numerous bug fixes and enhancements to the server, library, and ud client. Notes: The distribution is a compressed tar file. 9 June 1992 ud client Unix binaries distribution Location: ~ftp/x500/ud.binaries.tar.Z Version: 1.10 Description: ud is simple command line white pages interface to X.500. The source is included in the DIXIE source distribution (see above for details). This is a binary distribution that includes version 1.10 of ud for the following platforms: NeXT machine, NeXT OS 2.1 Sun Sparc family, SunOS 4.1.1 Sun-3 (MC68000) family, SunOS 3.5 and 4.1.1 DEC 3000/5000 (MIPS) family, Ultrix 4.2 IBM RS6000 family, AIX 3.1 Notes: The distribution is a compressed tar file. 9 June 1992 BUD X.500 client for MSDOS Location: ~ftp/x500/bud.exe Version: 1.10 Description: This is version 1.10 of the ud command-line X.500 client, built for DOS using the NCSA TCP/IP software. It requires that your MSDOS machine be configured to run NCSA Telnet. There is no documentation for bud at the present time. Notes: The distribution is binary MSDOS .exe file. 9 June 1992 go500 Gopher to X.500 gateway daemon Location: ~ftp/x500/go500.tar.Z Version: N/A Description: go500 is a simple daemon that transforms queries from Gopher clients to X.500 queries. Point your gopher client at totalrecall.rs.itd.umich.edu port 5555 if you want to try this out. Notes: The distribution is a compressed tar file. go500 has only been built and tested on a Sun4 running SunOS 4.1.1. There are definite University of Michigan dependencies in the code, but they can easily be cleaned up. 19 May 1992 X.500 Finger daemon Location: ~ftp/x500/dixie-fingerd.tar.Z Version: N/A Description: This is a replacement for the standard Unix finger daemon that looks up names in X.500 instead of in /etc/passwd or the local equivalent. It uses the dixie protocol and client library (see "DIXIE server/library/ud client" above). If you want to see how it works, finger @umich.edu. Notes: The distribution is a compressed tar file. This has only been built and tested on a Sun4 running SunOS 4.1.1. There are definite University of Michigan dependencies in the code, but they can easily be cleaned up. 18 October 1991 maX.500 Macintosh client binary distribution Location: ~ftp/x500/maX.500.sit.hqx Version: 1.1 Description: This software provides X.500 white pages access from the Mac Notes: This is a Binhex format, StuffIt 1.5 file compressed file with the binary and some documentation enclosed. It can be ftp'd in text/ASCII mode. You will need StuffIt 1.5 or later to decode and decompress the file. 18 September 1991 X.500 sendmail Location: ~ftp/x500/x500sendmail-5.64.x500.tar.Z ~ftp/x500/x500sendmail-5.65.x500.tar.Z Version: 1.1 Description: A sendmail (5.64 or 5.65, take your pick) modified to do X.500 lookups. Lookups are accomplished by using udp to contact the dixie server, which keeps a connection open to the DSA. Instructions for making and configuring things are in the sendmail source in READ_ME.X500. Mail sent to @umich.edu makes use of this modified sendmail. Changes: Since 1.0, the x.500 sendmail now uses the dixie server instead of duad. Also, a few changes to the way lookups are done (uid's are now looked up). Groups are also handled. A few bug fixes, too. Notes: This distribution is a compressed tar file. Also, the distribution contains only the src/ subdirectory of the sendmail distribution, so you should cd into the toplevel sendmail source directory before untarring.
