Installation guide

• The configuration file entry has changed.
On DIGITAL UNIX systems, the following is the configuration file entry
for LAT: options LAT.
• A setup script is available.
You set up LAT on a DIGITAL UNIX system by using the latsetup
command. This command creates the LAT terminal devices, adds entries
into the /etc/inittab file, and starts LAT on your system. For more
information on setting up LAT, see the Network Administration manual.
• The name of the control program has changed.
On DIGITAL UNIX systems, the control program is named latcp.In
addition to the functions of the ULTRIX control program, latcp allows
you to delete a service definition or an application port mapping; to
specify a static rating, and switch between static and dynamic; to
specify different display options; to specify specific adapters for LAT;
and to initialize counter information to zero.
• The script that starts LAT has moved to a new directory.
On DIGITAL UNIX systems, the script that starts LAT is in the
/sbin/init.d directory. For more information, see lat
(8).
4.13 Diskless Management Services
The DIGITAL UNIX system does not include the Diskless Management
Services (DMS) software. You cannot configure a diskless DIGITAL UNIX
system. However, dataless clients are supported starting with DIGITAL
UNIX Version 3.0 systems. See the DIGITAL UNIX Software Product
Description for more information.
4.14 Remote Installation Services
Like an ULTRIX system, the DIGITAL UNIX system includes the Remote
Installation Services (RIS) software. However, the RIS software on the
DIGITAL UNIX system uses the bootp protocol instead of the Maintenance
Operations Protocol (MOP). This means that DIGITAL UNIX systems can
only be servers for other DIGITAL UNIX systems, but ULTRIX systems
can be servers for ULTRIX systems and DIGITAL UNIX systems. See the
Sharing Software on a Local Area Network manual for more information.
4.15 Distributed System Services
The DIGITAL UNIX system has many of the distributed system services
you are used to using with your ULTRIX TCP/IP network. In particular,
