Adding more fonts and remote syslog for Tektronix xterms
Hi,
After a brief tussle with these old xterms, I've managed to
get them to use more fonts. To do this:
1) Create a directory and copy all desired fonts there
2) Gunzip the fonts, and compress them using compress (so
they have a .Z suffix). Compress is available in the debian
package ncompress
3) Run mkfontdir in the font directory
4) Create a fonts.tbl file in /system/tekxp/boot/config with
a line that points to the directory where the fonts are
5) Reboot and enjoy more fonts
--------------------------------------------------------------
To get these xterms doing remote syslog to a host:
1) Add (or create) /system/tekxp/boot/config/xp.cnf file with the following lines:
enable_remote_logging YES
loghost "1.2.3.4"
logfacility "LOG_LOCAL0"
logpriority "LOG_INFO"
The logfacility and logpriority will default to the values
given if you don't add them
2) Ensure that the host specified has syslogd started with -r
3) Reboot for remote syslog fun.
Thanks,
Brad
