I've seen mention of running uucp connections via IP in various places but have never found the exact details. I have a Sun 4 running SunOS 4.0.3 which has only an IP connection to the Internet and would like to be able to make uucp connections as well to those machines that can handle both uucp and TCP/IP. Could someone point me to some docs that might explain how to setup uucp so that it routes over an IP connection? Thanks in advance! -- Antonio Querubin tony@mpg.phys.hawaii.edu / ah6bw@uhm.ampr.org / querubin@uhunix.bitnet

Well, our UUCP machine is basically 4.3, not SunOS of any stripe. I can tell you what we've got set up, but I don't know what flavor of UUCP Sun ships with 4.0.3, so I don't know how close it'll be to what you need, if indeed your uucp is capable of running t protocol. Here's an L.sys line (with crucial info changed, of course): uucpname Any TCP uucp fullname.f.q.d.n ogin:~20--ogin:~20 login sword: password The uucp code recognizes the string TCP in the third field as indicating it should run over a TCP connection. To make our machine accept incoming TCP connections, our inetd.conf includes uucp stream tcp nowait uucp /etc/uucpd uucpd > Could someone point me to some docs that might explain how to setup > uucp so that it routes over an IP connection? Your UUCP doc set should explain this. If it doesn't, bug your vendor. (Don't you just love binary-only distributions?) der Mouse old: mcgill-vision!mouse new: mouse@larry.mcrcim.mcgill.edu

The UUCP shipped with 4.0.3 is rather old, and doesn't do TCP. SunOS 4.1's version of Honey DanBer has BSDish UUCP-over-TCP support, including the "t" protocol, and also has a 4.3-vintage UUCP daemon.
