Unix Server Configuration

The installation process of Unix CSS requires some system administrator knowledge. The following sections may give you some useful information.

TCP/IP Ports and Services

For all CSS servers (Unix and Windows NT) the default WinCss TCP/IP port number 6801 may be redefined in the WINCSS_PORT parameter of the configuration file css.default.

In addition, the programs cssws(U) and WinCss allow to specify TCP/IP configuration settings as command line arguments.

Running the Server Process

As with any server process, the program /usr/lib/css/cssws has to be spawned at system startup. Several system services (e.g. /etc/rc(4) or /etc/inittab(4)) allow to configure automatic server invocation.

/etc/rc:

/usr/lib/css/cssws 2>/dev/null 1>&2

Unix System V only:

The same service can be established on System V by inserting the following line in /etc/inittab(4):

cssws:1:respawn:/usr/lib/css/cssws 2>/dev/null 1>&2

Internet Super Server (inetd):

Since the Internet Super Server inetd(1) requires to use symbolic service names, you must first edit your /etc/services file and add the line:

cssws 6801/tcp   # WinCss server

Then edit your /etc/inetd.conf file and add the lines:

# CSS Service
cssws stream tcp nowait root /usr/lib/css/cssws -i

The inetd(1) process reads configuration file /etc/inetd.conf at startup to initialize itself. This will make the cssws services available for connections through WinCss.exe on the Windows client.

Unless started by the init(1) program, cssws(U) will detach automatically from the calling process.

Note:

The WinCss software needs to be registered and serialized with the Unitec License Manager ulm(I) program.
