11 is the general gopher to X.500 browsing and search gateway daemon.
12 It speaks gopher on one side and X.500 (via LDAP)
13 on the other. It presents the X.500 DIT as a tree of menus,
14 search items, and documents in gopher space, supporting both
15 browsing and searching of X.500 via a gopher client. By default,
16 it listens on port 7777 for connections from gopher clients.
20 server can be run either from
22 or as stand-alone server.
23 .SH STAND-ALONE OPERATION
26 as a stand-alone server, simply start it with no arguments
34 If you would like to start it at boot time add some lines like this to
41 if [ -f ETCDIR/go500gw ]; then
42 ETCDIR/go500gw; echo ' go500gw'
46 .SH OPERATION WITH INETD
50 .BR inetd (8), the Internet protocol
51 daemon, add a line like the following to your
53 file, or the equivalent:
57 go500gw 7777/tcp go500gw
61 Next, add a line like this to your
62 .BR /etc/inetd.conf (5)
63 file, or the equivalent:
67 go500gw stream tcp nowait nobody ETCDIR/go500gw go500gw -I
71 For these changes to take effect with inetd, you will probably have
72 to send it it a HUP signal. See
75 .SH GOPHER CONFIGURATION
76 The next step is to configure your local gopher server to have an
79 With the standard unix gopher server, this
84 file is given below, with the things you should change given in <>'s:
88 Name=<Label of your choice>
91 Path=1<optional RFC 1779-format DN at which to start browsing>
92 Host=<host.running.go500gw.here>
96 You may also have to restart your gopher daemon, or remove the
102 Search aliases when doing LDAP searches. The default is not to
106 Turn on debugging as defined by
108 If this option is specified,
110 will not fork or disassociate from the invoking terminal. Some general
111 operation and status messages are printed for any value of \fIlevel\fP.
112 \fIlevel\fP is taken as a bit string, with each bit corresponding to a
113 different kind of debugging information.
115 .BI \-f " filterfile"
116 Specify an alternate filter configuration file for use with the
117 .BR ldap_getfilter (3)
122 Specify an alternate help file. The help file is what is displayed
123 in the "About the Gopher to X.500 Gateway" menu item.
126 Enable logging of various status and errors to the LOG_LOCAL3 facility via
129 .BI \-p " listenport"
130 Specify an alternate port on which to listen for connections.
133 Specify an alternate port on which to contact the LDAP server.
135 .BI \-t " templatefile"
136 Specify an alternate template configuration file for
138 .BI ldap_init_templates (3)
143 Specify the number of DN components to show for the names and DN attributes
144 within entries matching the search.
147 Specify an alternate host on which the ldap server is running.
153 Some implementations of inetd have a small limit on the number of arguments
154 that can be specified in the
155 .BR /etc/inetd.conf (5)
157 problems if you are using
159 with a lot of arguments.
161 The default values for most of the things you can specify with
162 options are configured at compile time in the
163 .B include/ldapconfig.h.edit
