How does one establish a uucp connection via an existing network
connection such as TCP/IP where rlogin is available.
I can see how the L.sys file would handle it from the point of waiting
for 'login:' on, but how do you get uucp to 'rlogin sysname'?
I'm sure I saw something posted here a few months ago, but I didn't
need the information then. 8-)
E-mail is best because I have some conectivity problems.

This is not really an answer, but information on how one solution works. Excelan provides a device (T16) which has the following characteristic... when you open it the first line sent to it is used as a system name and a telnet circuit established. Your script would start with something like: "" machine gin:--gin uucpname ord: password Needless to say I use this for other things than just uucp. -- bill davidsen (wedu@ge-crd.arpa) {uunet | philabs}!steinmetz!crdos1!davidsen "Stupidity, like virtue, is its own reward" -me

Your script would start >with something like: > "" machine gin:--gin uucpname ord: password More to it than that; there is a daemon routine, /net/ud, which hangs on that pty (last logical port). It catches the machine name passed at the start and establishes the connection to the other end's rlogind. If you own both sides of the connection, you could write a simple daemon routine of your own and bypass the login service altogether. The daemon opens a socket for listen at a 'well-known' port number and waits for a connection request. On the accept(), it forks; the parent closes its connection and loops back for the next request, the child dup's the socket onto stdin/out/err then exec's uucico.

The 4.3 BSD uucp contains code (standard) to connect to a uucp daemon
on remote sites via a TCP link listening on port 540. The
documentation that comes with the code describes how to set it up.
It works great.
However, if you want the uucp to transfer news, let me suggest you
consider NNTP. Transfering files? Use ftp. Mail? Use an SMTP
based mailer. The uucp packet scheme plus handshakes works but
probably isn't the most efficient use of your bandwidth....
