Annotation of 43BSDReno/contrib/isode-beta/others/image/READ-ME, revision 1.1.1.1

1.1       root        1: [ READ-ME - Tue Jul 25 09:25:56 1989 - ISODE image programs notes - /mtr ]
                      2: 
                      3: 
                      4:     1.  Get a copy of ISODE 5.2 or later for your system.  Install it.
                      5: 
                      6: 
                      7:     2.  Bring-up the OSI Directory on one host in your site.  This host
                      8:     must run ISODE.  The other hosts need only run the programs in
                      9:     this directory.  Besides these programs, the others hosts will
                     10:     need a copy of the /usr/etc/isotailor file from the master host.
                     11: 
                     12: 
                     13:     3.  Go to the others/quipu/photo/ directory.  Make it and install
                     14:     it.  This will create a directory /usr/etc/g3fax/ which contains the
                     15:     fax decoding routines/databases needed by the image programs.
                     16: 
                     17: 
                     18:     3.  Edit the Makefile in this directory, others/images/.  Change the
                     19:     definitions of BINDIR, SBINDIR, and ETCDIR as appropriate.
                     20: 
                     21: 
                     22:     4.  Make it and install it.
                     23: 
                     24: 
                     25:     5.  Get a copy of MH 6.5 or greater.  You don't need to do this if you are
                     26:     interested in running only xwho. 
                     27: 
                     28: 
                     29:     6.  Great, so you have everything in place except the images that
                     30:     the OSI Directory will provide.  How you get these images (which
                     31:     should be in g3fax bitmaps in ASN.1 bitstring format) is your problem.
                     32:     Typically, for the face agent 64x64 bitmaps are good.  One example
                     33:     is in the file "sk".
                     34: 
                     35:     Here's a suggestion.  One of the programs installed in /usr/etc/g3fax/
                     36:     is called pr2pe.  It will take a Sun raster file image and convert
                     37:     it to the desired format.  Invoke pr2pe thusly: 
                     38: 
                     39:        % /usr/etc/g3fax/pr2pe < rasterfile > faxfile
                     40: 
                     41:     The next thing you need to do is to add a photo attribute to the
                     42:     DN entry for each person you have a picture of.  For example, if my DN
                     43:     is
                     44: 
                     45:        c=US@o=DMD@cn=Marshall T. Rose
                     46: 
                     47:     Then, you edit the file
                     48: 
                     49:        /usr/etc/quipu/dsa/c=US/o=DMD/EDB
                     50: 
                     51:     and look for an entry that starts with
                     52: 
                     53:        cn=Marshall T. Rose
                     54: 
                     55:     you then add this line
                     56: 
                     57:        photo={FILE}
                     58: 
                     59:     You now do
                     60: 
                     61:        % cp faxfile /usr/etc/quipu/dsa/c=US/o=DMD/"cn=Marshall T. Rose".photo
                     62: 
                     63:     (Note the use of quotes to include the spaces in the filename!)
                     64: 
                     65:     Next, you re-start QUIPU.
                     66: 
                     67:     Repeat this step for all of the images of people you have.  If you
                     68:     don't control the DSA responsible for some person, then you need to
                     69:     contact the DSA administrator and get them to add the image for you.
                     70:     How they do this if they are running something other than a QUIPU
                     71:     DSA is your problem.
                     72: 
                     73:     7.  Usage tips:  when I start X, I use a shell script.  the first
                     74:     thing the script does is
                     75: 
                     76:        FACEPROC="`hostname` 6000" export FACEPROC
                     77: 
                     78:     then xinit is invoked.  When xterm starts under xinit, it runs
                     79:     another shell script that ends with: 
                     80: 
                     81:        exec xface -e -u
                     82: 
                     83:     By having the script exec xface, xface is run as a direct child of
                     84:     the xterm shell.  Hence, when this shell exits and the X server goes
                     85:     away, the -u switch will have xface exit as well.  
                     86: 
                     87: 
                     88: Good luck,
                     89: 
                     90: /mtr
