- Description:
- 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 Nrnberg-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.

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.

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. |
