New page

===Server Setup Howto===
First we need to register port 4243 in /etc/services to let the system recognize it.

Personally I just manually edited /etc/services, found the apropriate place (ie entry's in port order) to put it in and popped in the following:
qmclient 4243/tcp # Open QM API

Save and exit.

===Xinitd===
Firstly you will need xinetd installed, if you are running on telnet it's already there.

Second you will need an entry in xinit for qmclient. So put the following in /etc/xinit.d/qmclient
<pre>
# default: on
# description: OpenqQMs API port, unencrypted binary protocol.
service qmclient
{
flags = REUSE
socket_type = stream
wait = no
user = root
server = /usr/qmsys/bin/qm
server_args = -n -q
log_on_failure += USERID
disable = no
port = 4243
}
</pre>

Now restart xinetd (/etc/init.d/xinetd restart)

===Testing===
If you need to. Telnet localhost 4243 can check if your changes have worked. Telnet will connect but leave you clung on, but it will not refuse your connection. Ctr-] will allow you to quit. You can test WAN port availability, firewalls, etc, using this test.
