Newsgroups: comp.sys.hp Distribution: world Subject: UUCP over TCP/IP....the solution!? Keywords: UUCP TCP/IP HP Some weeks ago, I was searching a solution for the problem UUCP over TCP/IP for HP9000/835 machines (HP-UX7.0). This feature is NOT supported by HP. :-( I have some "older" UNIX-systems, so I have to connect them with UUCP. I'm not a UNIX expert! Now, I work 7 months with UNIX. This is my solution (without a hack within any source or binary): Works only with uucp, not with cu. I have rlogin for this. - Make a null-modem connection between two serial lines on the same computer. (I know, there could be no serial ports free) Look to "Managing uucp and Usenet", or your Manuals for the pin connections. On my machine this are tty0p2 outgoing, tty0p1 incomming. On tty0p1 runs a getty with 19200 baud. - Make a login for uucp over tcp/ip with a shell named rluucp (on one line!) rluucp:VSGqAPG6FsJkU:7:3:remote uucp:/usr/spool/uucppublic: /usr/lib/uucp/rluucp - And here the shellscript: #! /bin/sh # # Hack for tcpip over uucp # # HP9000/835 does not support this directly! # # echo "rlogin_machine: \c" read RLOGIN_MACHINE rlogin $RLOGIN_MACHINE -8 - The Systems file looks like this: (on one line!) <othermachine> Any tcpiphack,f 19200 - "" \r\d\r\d\r ogin:-BREAK-ogin: rluucp assword: <rluucppasswd> achine: <othermachine> ogin: <loginname> assword: <uucppassword> - The Devices file looks like this: tcpiphack tty0p2 - 19200 direct I also tried it with telnet, but I think thats not very secure. Are there some problems with this solution, I don't know? Regards Daniel

If you use a `dedicated' pair of pseudo terminals (ptys) then you won't have to consume two serial ports. I'm not familiar with the series 800, but on the series 300, a PTY has a major device number of 16 (master) or 17 (slave), and a minor number that is unique for each master/slave pair. Thus you could type: /etc/mknod /dev/tty0p2 16 0x0000ff /etc/mknod /dev/tty0p1 17 0x0000ff Since tty0p1 is the slave PTY, the getty will hang until uucp opens tty0p2. I haven't tried this myself, but I think this will work. BTW, *don't* give the pair of PTY's you create a standard PTY name (/dev/pty[pqr]* or /dev/tty[pqr]*), because it will then be subject to allocation by a UNIX utility that uses PTY's. -- David Barts Pacer Corporation davidb@pacer.uucp ...!uunet!pilchuck!pacer!davidb
