		Message Send Protocol  (RFC 1312)

This README file was written by David Barr <barr@pop.psu.edu> to provide
installation instructions.   This code is copyright Sun Microsystems.
Many thanks to the author, Geoff.Arnold@East.Sun.COM.

If you have questions or problems, send mail to the MSP-L mailing list:
You can subscribe by sending a (non MSP :-) message or mail to 
LISTSERV@ALBANY[.EDU] with the text:
SUB MSP-L Your Real Name

You may also send the text "HELP" to get a quick reference of other
LISTSERV commands.

INSTALLATION:

Simply edit the Makefile to your tastes and type "make".  If all goes
well, you may use "make install" to install it.  Note that the 'tell'
program must be suid-root in order to open up a privileged local port.
The server by default will reject messages from non-privileged ports.
(Unless you remove the -DSECURE definition in the Makefile)

Edit your rc.local to include something like:

if [ -f /usr/local/etc/messaged ]; then
	/usr/local/etc/messaged
fi

Note messaged CANNOT be spawned from inetd!

Edit /etc/services to include these lines:

message		18/udp			# message send protocol
message		18/tcp			# message send protocol

COMPATIBILITY:

	This has been ported to a wide range of platforms.  The original
source code was from the PC-NFS client and server by Sun Microsystems.
Since then, it has been ported to Sun, NeXT, AIX (various versions, including
AIX/ESA), and even VMS.

Please, if you have sucessfully ported it to other platforms, _please_
send me your diffs and explain exactly what OS version you are running.
Other compatibility notes appear in the CHANGES file.
