There was a reported bug in uucico on the HP 9000/840 running HP-UX where after 30 file transfers all further transfer requests are rejected. This bug was indeed happening to me and we lost a good deal of news as a result (our newsfeed sends us batches which are occasionally made up of more than 30 seperate files). Happily, the bug has been corrected and our support person at HP (can't recall your exact title, sorry Mike :-) sent to us a tape of the corrected uucico. The tape label appears to imply that some internal table was set to 30 and is now bumped up to 200. That should be enough for me. The reason that I am posting this is this: if any of you out there have had problems with a choking uucp as well as me, then this is probably the fix you need. I imagine that the fix will be in the next HP-UX update (HP people, is this right?), but if you need it sooner, you might want to contact your HP person and see if they can't perhaps get ahold of the fix for you as well. I don't know if they'd want me to send my corrected copy of uucico to anyone, so I will not make the assumption that I can do so. Consequently, please do not ask me for a copy. -- +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Mark Steven Jeghers: the terrorist smuggling CIA weapons to Libya | | | | {ihnp4,cbosgd,lll-lcc,lll-crg}|{dual,ptsfa}!cogent!mark | | | | Standard Disclaimer: Contents may have settled during shipment. | +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
