NAME
     gateway - Internet Gateway administration tool

DESCRIPTION
     Internet Gateway is a web-based tool for administration of network
     services, designed for users with little prior knowledge of the IRIX
     environment.  In addition to allowing you to easily connect your server
     or desktop machine to the Internet, it provides a variety of simple
     remote administration tools.

   Accessing Internet Gateway
     The Internet Gateway web pages are served using a Netscape web server on
     your server or desktop machine. This allows for simple remote
     administration of network services from any UNIX, PC or Macintosh client.

     To access Internet Gateway on your system, enter the following two
     commands:

        /etc/chkconfig webface on
        /etc/init.d/webface start

     then point your web browser at the URL:

        http://<yourhostname>:2077/

     replacing <yourhostname> with the hostname of your machine.  For security
     reasons you will be asked to enter the root password of your machine,
     then asked to provide an administration password.  You will then see a
     screen with icons leading to the three sections of Internet Gateway:
     Setup Tasks, Administration and Applications.  All three sections include
     detailed online help.

   Setup Tasks
     This section currently contains three separate tasks, or setup procedures
     requiring a number of steps. These are:

     Connect to the Internet
        Quickly and simply walks you through the necessary steps of
        configuring your SGI machine for Internet connectivity. Helpful
        descriptions simplify the procedure of configuring Internet IP
        addresses, hostnames, hardware choices and sendmail parameters.

     Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol Setup
        Allows you to quickly set up your SGI machine to act as an IP address
        server, automatically adding client machines to your network as
        needed.

     Security Setup
        Provides a simple mechanism for reducing security risks posed by some
        default networking behaviors on your SGI machine.  Allows easy
        disabling of RPC services, remote X server calls, SNMP access, open
        user accounts, and a variety of other potential security risks.
   Administration
     This section allows administrators to easily edit initial configurations
     or reconfigure network services. This section is further divided into
     five configuration areas:

     Information Services
        Configuration of Electronic mail (POP3 and sendmail), Netscape
        information servers, Majordomo mailing lists, Samba file serving, and
        Syntax IPX/IP gateway.

     Network Services
        Easy administration of a variety of different network protocols,
        including file transfer (FTP), name serving (DNS/UNS), filesystem
        configuration, Network Information Service (NIS), host address
        allocation (DHCP), resource reservation (RSVP), and routing.

     Security
        Administration of two firewalls: a lightweight filtering firewall, and
        the more comprehensive Gauntlet firewall product.

     Webservers
        Configuration of the Netscape SuiteSpot webservers.

     Communications Hardware
        Setup of communications hardware and associated protocols, including
        PPP, ISDN, T1 boards, Ethernet/FDDI, and serial modems.

   Applications
     This section provides some general information for administrators. There
     are currently three web-based applications:

     Machine Information
        A single page description of the machine's internal hardware.
        Includes information pertaining to the machine's processors, mainboard
        cache, memory, SCSI controllers, Ethernet cards, available disk space,
        etc.

     Majordomo Mailing Lists
        A tool allowing users access to information about all mailing lists on
        this server, along with an HTML archive of those lists (if desired).
        Also provides users with facilities to subscribe/unsubscribe to
        mailing lists.

     Session Directory Server
        A unique tool for monitoring multicast session announcements, creating
        announcements and launching multimedia tools to receive multicast
        broadcasts.

FILES
     /usr/OnRamp/*                 support libraries and files
     /usr/WebFace/*                CGI source documents
     /usr/ns-home/httpd-gateway/*  gateway web server
