Hello!

This is our first posting onto this USENET newsgroups; I was looking
for a newsgroup concerned with the ISODE. I really do not know if this
the right group; appreciate if someone could place this article to
a proper people/forum.

WE have recently installed the ISODE Rel 5.0 on our 386 Unix system V
with TCP/IP. It works fine; at least quipu DSA and DUA can interact.

I wanted to experiment with the lookup daemon and see how the 
remote operations(ry) specs can be implemented using the rich tools
available under ISODE. 
I have defined a new service:

	ernet passwdstore 1.17.4.1.7 "" "" #1040

in the TOPDIR/etc/isoentities.

I compiled the ros.lookup daemon (had some problems with some call to
isodeserver() but I'll explain later) and inst-alled. 
When I ran ros.quipu daemon, I get the following error:

ernet-passwdstore: unknown application-entity

Then I wanted to confirm this with the acsaptest program; 
the acsaptest when it was run without any argument, it shows an 
entry as follows: 
	ISO Entities Database:
	...
	Entity: ernet-passwdstore (1.17.4.1.7)
	AE Info: <1.17.4.1.7,,,>
	Address: '0410'H/
	{
		tSelector '0410'H,
		nAddress{}
	}
	...
But when I run 
% acsaptest ernet passwdstore
then I have no luck!

(The ns_enable: field was set to on first then it called
str2aei_dse() and it was set to off in another try;
the net result is same!).
Can anybody suggest me what is going wrong ? 

2. Further, I do not really understand the isodeserver() mechanism 
provided in the ry modules; how should one go about writing this? 
Is there any sample program for the lookup daemon? 

3. And lastly, I seem to be having problems with logging messages:
the following entry gives me a core dump:
	static LLog _pgm_log = { 
	"/usr2/isode/isode-5.0/log/logfile", NULLCP, NULLCP,
	LLOG_FATAL | LLOGEXCEPTIONS | LLOG_NOTICE,
	-1,
	LLOGCLS | LLOGCRT | LLOGZER,
	NOTOK
	};
	LLog *pgm_log = &_pgm_log;

Thanks in advance 
& waiting eagerly for responses, 

---Murthy.
