I am in nedd of help/advice/comments which may be useful in connecting our S81 to UUCP. I have already located several sites nearby which are willing to provide us with a feed, and I am fairly familiar with UUCP and networking in general. What I would like is some specific information on the mechanics of setting up and administering a Symmetry as a UUCP node (ie. solutions to common problems, performance tuning options, potential security holes and their solutions). I understand that the main manual references are articles 35 and 36 in the Programmer's Manual Vol. II. Are there any other manuals (from Sequent or otherwise) on running UUCP through an S81? Also, what is the procedure for registering through the UUCP mapping project? Please reply through E-Mail to any of the addresses below, since I do not wish to eat up net-bandwidth with a discussion on UUCP setup. I will summarize and post to the net if there is interest.
