mje@olsa99.UUCP (Mark J Elkins) (08/27/90)
I GOT IT WORKING!!!
Firstly - thanks to Bill Fuller (fuller@kadsma.kodak.com) and Jeromy
Druker (jsd@proxima.UUCP) .. who understood the problem and were able
to make some suggestions.
Others replied - either presuming I wanted 'UUCP over Streams' or even
more - wanting to know how to do it..
My _new_ Systems entry....
xp5 Any TCP Any 23 in:--in: secret word: secret
My 'xp5' is an SCO 386 machine with SCO's TCP-IP - so I do not have a
'uucpd' to run. The '23' is the ethernet (telnet) port No. (where
the phone number normally goes - sorta logical hey?). The source does
an 'atoi' on this field - which is why the original entry of 'xp5'
kept comming up with port 5! If this field is blank (ie a '-') or the
name has no number in it ('atoi' returns Zero, Ouch!), then the source
does a 'getservbyname("uucp","tcp")' which sets the port number to
whatever is in your '/etc/services' file. eg....
uucp 540/tcp uucpd # experimental
The information in Devices is almost totally ignored - ie.. as long
as the first, second and last fields are 'TCP' - it seems to work...
BUT... although the code in 'callers.c' seemed OK.. I then got the
error 'interface(TCP) failed'. This is because someone has removed
all the references to 'TCP' in 'interface.c'. I then added...
#ifdef TCP
/* TCP bits - put in by MJE */
{ "TCP", read, write, ioctl, usetup, uteardown },
#endif /* TCP */
between the entries for DIAL201 and TLI... so that the TCP builtin would
use the default read/write routines... and now everything seems to work...

The only 'BUG' is that certain 'ioctl's fail... eg the line...
chat: TCGETA failed, errno 114
I'm using the usual 'g' proto - because SCO doesn't know about
anything else (till I re-compile uucico for it!)
Some questions remain....
1 - Why was I told to have a Device entry of 'TCP TCP 64 uucp TCP' ?
2 - What does 'uucpd' do? (when you can use port 23 and 'telnetd' -
which gives login/passwd protection...)
3 - What happened to the TCP references in 'interface.c'?
