#1 slan_setup and post-install exec

[Anonymous]

Does slan_setup, when run after installed, generate the
proper keys and configs and place them in the proper
locations? The make-install seems to suggest that the
slan_setup binary only generates the files but does not
know how to install them in the proper locations

If it indeed knows, is the location of the files set at
compile time? If I want to generate these files into
different locations (because /etc is full of either
read-only files or symlinks to writable files like slan
configs), do I have to run slen_setup and then move the
files by hand?

SLAN setup just drops the config files in the directory it
runs in. make-install is supposed to copy them into
/etc/slan but that may or may not be appropriate. THe server
is hard coded to look for /etc/slan/slan_server.conf but
will instead look for the filename given as the first
argument on the command line.

I recommend copying the config files by hand to whereever
you want, same with the binaries. The make-install stuff is
very badly done at this time.

The package is much too green at this time for anything
close to how mature open source packages can ./configure &&
make && make install

I hope to get it there in subsequent releases. Please read
through the README file for more information. Please contact
me if you are successful in getting *anything* to work.
