If you are using one of the pre-packaged distributions, it
|
|
will most probably contain the major networking applications and
|
|
utilities along with a coherent set of sample files. The only case
|
|
where you might have to obtain and install new utilities is when you
|
|
install a new kernel release. As they occasionally involve changes in
|
|
the kernel networking layer, you will need to update the basic
|
|
configuration tools. This at least involves recompiling, but sometimes
|
|
you may also be required to obtain the latest set of binaries. These
|
|
are usually distributed along with the kernel, packaged in an archive
|
|
called net-XXX.tar.gz, where XXX is the version
|
|
number. The release matching -1.0 is 0.32b, the latest
|
|
kernel as of this writing (1.1.12 and later) require 0.32d.
|
|

|
|
If you want to compile and install the standard TCP/IP network
|
|
applications yourself, you can obtain the sources from most
|
|
FTP servers. These are more or less heavily patched versions of
|
|
programs from Net-BSD or other sources. Other applications, such as
|
|
Xmosaic, xarchie, or Gopher and IRC clients must be
|
|
obtained separately. Most of them compile out of the box if you
|
|
follow the instructions.

The official FTP site for Net-3 is sunacm.swan.ac.uk, mirrored
|
|
by sunsite.unc.edu below system/Network/sunacm. The
|
|
latest Net-2e patch kit and binaries are available from
|
|
ftp.aris.com. Matthias Urlichs' BSD-derived networking code
|
|
can be gotten from ftp.ira.uka.de in
|
|
/pub/system/linux/netbsd.
