Connecting to /dev/cuaXX serial ports
|
|
=====================================
|
|
As installed, conserver is running as user _conserver. If you want to
|
|
use conserver to manage local serial ports, you have to add _conserver
|
|
to group dialer in /etc/group:
|
|
|
|
dialer:*:117:_conserver
|
|
|
|
This is not necessary if you only use it to log and control access to
|
|
terminal servers over the network rather than on local serial ports.
|
|
|
|
Port flavours
|
|
=============
|
|
Conserver can be built using different methods to communicate between the
|
|
server ("conserver" process) and clients ("console") - network sockets, and
|
|
unix domain sockets.
|
|
|
|
The default in OpenBSD packages before 8.2.0 was to communicate using
|
|
network sockets.
|
|
|
|
Since 8.2.0, the OpenBSD package has switched to using unix domain sockets
|
|
by default; this means that server and client must be on the same machine.
|
|
The old method is still available by installing the "net" flavour of the
|
|
package; you will need to install the "conserver-XX-net" package. If you
|
|
have already installed the standard package, "pkg_delete conserver" and
|
|
then "pkg_add conserver--net".
|
|
|
|
Other notes
|
|
===========
|
|
Log files (by default, /var/log/conserver and /var/log/consoles/<name>)
|
|
can get large, so you will probably want to arrange rotation, either with
|
|
newsyslog(8) or some other method.
|
|
|
|
Upgrading from previous OpenBSD packages
|
|
========================================
|
|
If you have upgraded from a previous version of the OpenBSD package which
|
|
ran as root (pre-OpenBSD 5.6), you will need to change permissions/ownership
|
|
on log files to ensure that the _conserver user can write to them, e.g.:
|
|
|
|
chown _conserver /var/log/conserver /var/log/consoles/*
