[comp.unix.questions] More uucico problems

ianhogg@cs.umn.edu (Ian J. Hogg) (02/09/91)

I've got past part of my uucp problems.  I've got a SparcStation with 
SunOs 4.1.1 and a 386 with SCO SysV on it.  Anyways I can get the login script
to work in either direction, but the uucico's don't seem to talk to each other.
Here is the full output from uucico on the Sun:

Anyone have any idea what's going on here?

I recall from the backroads of my mind that there is a limit to how much in
the way of login messages uucico will tolerate before surrendering. There
was message traffic a few months ago about how to preclude a user (ie.
uucp) from receiving login messages, but, alas, I didn't keep it. If
this is, indeed, why uucico is failing, perhaps another netter will have
kept that material.

	I do not know if this is system dependant or not, but on the
SunOS machines which I use, LOGIN(1) will refrain from printing the
message of the day, the check for mail, and the time of the last login,
if there is a file called ".hushlogin" in the user's home directory.

  I use it in one of my accounts where the "message of the day" does not
change for weeks, and is long and gets on my nerves.  I then have my
.login do the mail check, display the time of last login, and show the
MOTD itself...  But my .login only displays it if it has changed since I
last read it.  This way I only have to endure each MOTD once.

	Usually this seems to be that either the terminal or the user account
has got locked (SCO Security).  Get the sysadmin on the SCO box to check
these out.
	Regards,

Possible.  But the rest of the log seems to indicate that Ian's machine
*did* manage to log in: the Shere=skunkwr came from the SCO systems's
uucico, and Ian's machine did seem to respond with "Hi, I'm so-and-so"
(S<I disremember - not in this excerpt> -x9).

SCO security wouldn't have let him in that far.  Neither would a bum password.

Other's have suggested skunkwr's motd and other gunge was too long.
Yes, HDB will sometimes say "Enough already" and drop the line.
But again, this would not have had the "S<Ian's machine> -x9" line either.

It's more suggestive that the SCO system said, after Ian's machine told
it who it was, "I don't know who you are, go AWAY!".  Eg: Ian's machine
isn't in the SCO's Permissions/Systems/L.sys/USERFILE
or whatever.  An examination of skunkwr's logs (particularly the stuff
under ".Admin" if it's HDB) will probably show this.  Many versions of
uucico will place a "You are unknown to me" into the logs, on both
sides of the attempted connection, or sometimes in the uustat -m output.

Good luck.
