We've had two VAX 750s running Ultrix V1.0 talking to each other for about two months now, via 9600 baud serial line. Yesterday I broke uucp between them. Here's how: (1) I installed an ethernet board (interlan) in 'frosh'. It is the first system to get an Ethernet connection -- nobody else is on it yet but 'ulowell' (the other 750) and 'ibis' (the gateway to our Apollo ring) will be on Ethernet next week. The bootstrap saw the board as il0 but said 'can't interrupt'. (2) 'frosh' system had its name changed to 'emu'. I edited /etc/hosts to look like: 127.1 localhost 1.1 ulowell ul # main gateway 1.2 emu em # freshman 750 in EC203 1.3 ibis ib # Apollo gateway and /etc/networks to look like: local 127 loopback # local loopback eth 1 birdnet # U of Lowell CS Ethernet I think I have changed all that I need to (as far as changing the node name) with config, /bin/hostname, etc, as well as recreated the uuspool dirs for the machine. However, when 'ulowell' logs into 'emu' (it gets in OK), emu kicks ulowell right back out to a login banner. ERRLOG on emu says ASSERT ERROR: (uucico) <mumble> BAD UID (-1) as a result. I haven't received my Ultrix source tape yet, and the manual deosn't say what BAD UID means. What did I do, and how do I fix it? Please send directly to me as our newsfeed IN has been broken for almost a week now.

All the responders pointed to the system name change. There was nothing wrong with the USERFILE on emu, I could SEE tha.. hmm. What if I put my terminal into 'see all control characters' mode? Well, the last line of the file had no newline. I added one. All fixed. >Please send directly to me as our newsfeed IN has been broken for almost >a week now. All fixed here, too. Unrelated. Thanks to all who responded. ..Bob PS Any TCP/sendmail wizards willing to help with another problem? I want to set up a ethernet LAN, don't know the format (/etc/hosts, etc) and don't know how to tell sendmail about it.
