Greetings, I wonder if any of you folks out there in net land are/have been faced with a problem similar to the one outlined below. All help and ideas are most welcome, and appriciated. Problem: I have two serial lines (cul0/cul1/cua0/cua1) that share links to /dev/tty01, and /dev/tty02. Thease are used as terminal lines on which users may dial up the system. I would also like to use them to connect to other systems via uucp. question: How can I tell uucico that this terminal is going to have a shell or a getty on it, and if it's logged on (i.e. line in utmp with a non zero length uname), NOT to use this line, or if no line in /etc/utmp, to disable the line, and use it? The major problem in doing this outside of uucico, is that I can't allways be sure where uucico is going to dial to make the call, by the time my program outside uucico is doing loading uucico, something major might have changed, causing uucico to dial out on a still enabled line. (i.e. a user logged out on the line ahead of the planned line of use). I tried to figure out the best place to install such a routine in conn.c but with the 4.2bsd uucico, this is hardly an easy task. The uucico under bsd4.2 is so powerful it outsmarts itself. (sigh). Like I said, any and all help is greatly appriciated. I will post a summary if there is a worth while amount of intrest. Yours In Hacking, -- Shawn Uucp: mit-eddie!shawn Arpa: Shawn at Mit-Mc
