In bits of the BSD documentation, there is a mention of the TCP/IP UUCP server deamon (i.e. /etc/uucpd). My question is if you are the sending party, how do you tell the system to use the UUCP protocol? I find nothing in this in connection with the L.sys file, in fact, I have really found nothing at all. Can anybody enlighten me on /etc/uucpd and its operation, invokation, etc.? Thanks....

That will cause the sender's 4.3BSD UUCP system to open a TCP connetion to the receiver's uucpd. The receiver, of course, needs to have configured access to uucpd. I don't happen to have a 4.3 system on hand configured that way to tell you what the inetd.conf line has to look like, but I recall it all being in the source directories for uucp. (If it isn't already configured.) Gary..

On my Pyramid, it is set up like this in the L.sys file: sitename Any TCP uucp sitename in:--in: nuucp password: hispassword The site I send to is a Unisys system that doesn't have the /etc/uucpd daemon, but does have telnet, so I use: sitename Any TCP telnet sitename in:--in: nuucp password: hispassword -- Greg
