FreeBSD comms : xcept

A decoder for the CEPT (Btx) protocol

 XCept provides a decoder for the CEPT protocol as it is in use for
example by the Btx service of the Deutsche Telekom.  In particular,
electronic banking and other commercial services are being handled
this way.  The CEPT protocol itself is supposed to be a European Telco
protocol, though I don't know whether any other Telco is actually
using it.

The program consists of two parts, ceptd acting as a server on the
host with the modem to use, and xcept as the client which interacts
with the user, using an X11 frontend if desired.  Xcept also provides
basic scripting facilities.

The package has been developed by Arno Augustin and Frank Hoering at
the University of Nürnberg-Erlangen, Germany.  XCept version 2 has
been the last version distributed under a BSD-style copyright; the
package went commercial in later versions.  The authors no longer
distribute or support version 2.

After installing the package, you must add

xcept		20005/tcp #XCEPT

to /etc/services, and

xcept	stream	tcp	nowait	root	/usr/local/libexec/ceptd ceptd

to /etc/inetd.conf on your server host.

- Welcome X.org 7.2 \o/.
- Set X11BASE to ${LOCALBASE} for recent ${OSVERSION}.
- Bump PORTREVISION for ports intalling files in ${X11BASE}.

Clean up historical baggage, and move the old local distfiles that
used to live under ${MASTER_SITE_LOCAL}/asami/LOCAL_PORTS to my own
public_distfiles.

No version changes involved.

Before committing the previous BROKEN changes I carefully checked the status
of each port on bento and for recent fixes.  Unfortunately at some point I
got confused and switched to the wrong list :-)  As a result I picked up a
number of ports that were fixed a while ago.  Sorry for the false alarm,
maintainers.

Make the tty locking compatible to the FreeBSD convention (10 digits
vs. 9).

Resolve a build error that recently became apparent where this
software attempts to define their own function log() that is reserved
for the natural logartihm one, by renaming the private function to
mylog().

I wonder whether anybody is still using this at all, the respective
service (called `Btx' here) has been cancelled in Germany a couple of
years ago.  Any other European countries perhaps?  I consider deleting
the port some day.  By now, it was easy enough to fix though.  Speak
up if you want to see this port continued.

Don't install ceptd setuid root: it's a daemon you run as root from
inetd.conf, so it doesn't need the additional privileges.

This port still bogusly hardcodes /usr/local as the installation
directory.

area on the local ports tree.

Add USE_XLIB to some ports that require X.  (Actually BUILD_DEPENDS on imake
for ilu and mkdirhier for asl.)

Oops.  Next time I add MANCOMPRESSED=maybe to a port, I should also
add the appropriate MANx variables.  :)

date: 1998/08/28 07:02:05;  author: hoek;  state: Exp;  lines: +2 -1
Set MANCOMPRESSED=maybe.  This isn't the correct fix.  The port should
have its patches that stuff NOMANCOMPRESS support in the source Makefile
removed, or submitted for inclusion with the next xceptd release.

v. 1.5
date: 1997/04/30 03:17:13;  author: asami;  state: Exp;  lines: +2 -2

Actually, I should just take out USE_X11 and PREFIX=, they cancel
each other. ;)

it belongs.

XCept - a decoder for the CEPT protocol as it is in use in the Btx
service of the Deutsche Telekom.

XCept 2 is freeware (BSD-style copyright), but has later been replaced
by the commercial XCept 3.  The authors no longer distribute or support
this old version.

I cannot build it on freefall's 2.1.x system, but it builds fine on my
2.2-current.  thud seems to be down...
