HELP!!!!!!!
The Computer Science Department at Ohio University is running System V release
2 on a PDP-11/70. About three weeks ago, something went bad and uucp would
no longer work without major handholding. It seems like if you talk nice
to the machine, uucp will work. :-)
A previous problem before uucp stopped working was that after a news feed
sent over 30 files, the darn thing would stop and drop core. I've been
informed that a certain define must be increased, which should get rid
of the problem. Unfortunately, attempted re-makes of uucp do not work -
no incoming or outgoing calls are possible. By the way, they have a
UNIX source license at the University, and so re-building uucp from
scratch is possible. The only trouble is that there are a couple of
different flavors of uucp floating around in the /usr/src/cmd
directory, and no one is sure which version is which.
Does anyone out there have a decent, working uucp that will definitely
run on a PDP-11/70? I've been told that HDB is not available for it, but
that someone (Henry Spencer, maybe?) has tweeked around with it to try
and get it going on the 16-bit machine.
Any and all replies should be directed toward me, since no one at Ohio
University can get replies at this time, anyway.
