In watching my uucico with debugging turned on, I have observed that
many systems wake up with garbage in their input queue. I have found
that the use of @ is remarkably effective in dealing with this most
of the times. That is, I use a line like:
amd70 Any ACU 1200 1234567 "" @ ogin:-@-ogin: uucp sword: word
The "" says expect nothing and immediately send the @ followed by a
carriage return. However, this week I ran across two systems that
apparently change the default line kill character to something else.
The best solution I have found is this (\d means delay, \r return):
amd70 Any ACU 1200 1234567 "" \r gin: \r\d\r gin: uucp sword: word
Which makes it go through a login: password: cycle (or two) before doing
it for real. This does take longer and I'd like to appeal to system
administrators to keep @ the default line kill character for login.
Comments are welcome.
