I am trying to set up a connection between a ATT 6300+ V.2.0 and a
remote ATT 3B2. The 6300+ is polling the 3B2. The login succeeds,
but then I get:
Login successful: System=Bisnet1
Handshake Failed: REMOTE REJECT AFTER LOGIN
So, what's this mean?
And more importantly, what books or manuals could you recommend so that
I could look this up instead of publicly displaying my ignorance 8-).

Get the nutshell handbook "Managing UUCP and Usenet". It is a good book for beginners and advanced users alike.

Without doubt, the clearest and best organized uucp books are from the O'Reilly & Associates 'Nutshell' series. Specifically, 'Managing UUCP and Usenet' and 'Using UUCP and Usenet'. You can reach them at uunet!ora!nuts.

Sys Adm's Guide, p C-64: "The login used by your 3B2 Computer to login does
not agree with what the remote machine was expecting." Helpful, no?
Here's what others have told me:
I have seen this problem before!
We are running SVR3.1 on a Motorola Box and have some local Suns dumpping
things to it constantly, so a minor change in policies have thrown us off!
This error is one of four problems:
1) In the Permissions file (on the remote machine) the LOGNAME
parameter is not what you are logging in as.
e.g.: Their Permissions file say:
LOGNAME=XXXXX,MACHINE=mccc
but you are logging in as (say) uucp.
2) Again in the Permissions file, the READ and WRITE parameters
are not set correctly. They should at least be:
READ=/usr/spool,WRITE=/usr/spool
3) The login shell for your uucp login (again on the remote
machine) is not set to /usr/lib/uucp/uucico (or equivalent).
4) During your poll of that machine you are not executing uucico
with the -r1 option. If *you* are polling, this should be set.
Good luck and I hope this helps!!!!!!!

So, the possible problems are:
1) your machine is not in his /usr/lib/uucp/Systems file, or
2) the /usr/lib/uucp/Systems file is not readable by the login id muucp

i had this just last week ;-). uucp is unable to read one of the
files that it needs. the problem i had was that uucico was SUID
nuucp and the uucp files were owned by uucp. your remote system
probably thinks you are an unknown machine. i'd start by checking
the permissions on your Systems file.

Unless of course you want to open up everything writable by uucp under /usr/spool to persons unknown from remote machines: like /usr/spool/cron, /usr/spool/uucp [also known as "giving away the shop"]. Make them /usr/spool/uucppublic, and you're OK. > scott barman > gatech!dtscp1!scott Artie
