[comp.os.minix] UUCP not sending files properly

jmozdzen@stutvm1.iinus1.ibm.com ("Jens-U. Mozdzen, IS SSC TC Services") (01/24/91)

Hi *,
I'm using the UUCP posted to this net some time ago and am having a slight
problem:
- when receiving files from the other site, everything works ok
- when having files to be sent to the other site, UUCP sends the first file
  and then closes the connection (using a proper 'close' request).
I remember having seen a similar problem report on this news group, but
couldn't find it. Neither could I find the answer :-(

Any hints?

Regards,
Jens

You are using the 1.1 or 1.2 version of the "g" driver.  These versions
had the nasty bug that a role switch always ended up with a hangup :-)
A working version can be found on the "plains.NoDak.edu" server.

I am preparing a complete rewrite of the UUCP package right now.  A
certain person in the US (listening?) was to send me some diffs, but
I am afraid he fell asleep :-(

Fred.
