[comp.sys.hp] Anonymous UUCP with HDB?

jv@mhres.mh.nl (Johan Vromans) (01/11/90)

Hi,

I try to get anonymous uucp working on HP9000/320 with HP-UX 6.2. I
have configured the following entry in the Permissions file:

   LOGNAME=uanon \
	REQUEST=yes \
	SENDFILES=yes \
	READ=/usr/spool/uucppublic/public \
	WRITE=/usr/spool/uucppublic \
	COMMANDS=rmail

According to the UUCP documentation, it should allow any unknown
system to log in using username "uanon". However, after succesful
login, the script /usr/lib/uucp/remote.unknown is executed and further
processing is disallowed.

Have I overlooked something?

Johan

Yes.  "chmod -x /usr/lib/uucp/remote.unknown," which will cause uucico
to decide that unknown remotes are really OK.

I believe this is even mentioned in the docs, but I couldn't tell you
where just now.
