wwsetup(8)						      System Manager's Manual							wwsetup(8)

NAME
wwsetup, wnn - Sets up the 8-bit option for sendmail and the Wnn character-cell input method for Japanese SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/wwsetup DESCRIPTION
The wwsetup script performs one or both of the following tasks: Enables or disables 8-bit transmission code, which is an option supported by sendmail software By default, sendmail uses the 7-bit SMTP mail transmission protocol that is the standard for sending mail over a TCP/IP network. Note that enabling the 8-bit option is not generally recommended because it violates the SMTP mail transmission protocol. Config- ures the Wnn software that supports a character-cell input method that is widely used in Japan If the Tru64 UNIX IOSJPWNNnnn subset is installed, the wwsetup script asks if you want to create the following links if they do not already exist on the system: /usr/local/bin/Wnn4 --> /usr/i18n/bin/Wnn4 /usr/local/bin/wnn --> /usr/i18n/lib/wnn The script also prompts you to enter the password for Wnn dictionaries if they do not already exist on the system. Both the links and the dictionary password must be in place before Wnn software can be used. SEE ALSO
Commands: sendmail(8), jserver(1wnn) Note that the jserver(1wnn) reference page is available only in Japanese and is included in the subset that contains Japanese translations of reference pages. Others: i18n_intro(5), Japanese(5), l10n_intro(5) wwsetup(8)
