[net.bugs.uucp] Handshake Failed - RLOGIN

ron@logico.UUCP (Ron Moore) (02/03/86)

Howdy,
  I know this problem has been adressed before, so please don't post any
followups and only send me mail.  Every time my 11/70 with its Sys V version
of uucp calls up my corporate neighbor (two states away), it gets a
Handshake Failed message after login has been successful.  Turning on
the debug info tells me that instead of receiving "ROK", it is receiving
"RLOGIN" and barfs on it.  I know somebody out there knows the answer so
please send me some enlightening mail.  Thanks in advance.....

Security of uucp is being tightened up in the newer versions comming
out.  Most of this stuff has been in uucp all along but was ignored
in the past.

Turn on debugging, 'uucico -r1 -sfoo -x5',

During startup remote system says "RLOGIN" rather than "ROK"

--------------

On the remote site check "USERFILE" (or Permissions (sp?) in
Honeydanber).  Something like "gargoyle,Ugarg /usr/spool/uucppublic"
should work.

", /" no longer leaves the system wide open.
--------------

On the remote site watch out for truncation of name.
gargoyle vs. gargoyl vs. gargoy
(this might not be a problem but...)

gargoyle,Ugarg /usr/spool/uucppublic
gargoyl,Ugarg /usr/spool/uucppublic
gargoy,Ugarg /usr/spool/uucppublic

--------------

On the remote site watch out for more than one user name with the
same user id number.  This is definitely a problem!
