Does anybody use the BSD4.3 uucpd daemon on System V.3 systems with some TCP/IP implementation with sockets (I use Wollongong's implementation) ? I want to use it for running UUCP (for upwards compatibility) over a wide-area company TCP/IP network, where remote login can't be done for security reasons. Please mail/post experiences with: - The porting problems (if any) with uucpd from BDS4.3. - The porting problems with AT&T's V.3 uucico (I know the TCP/IP socket support is in the code between BSD?? #ifdef's). - Any other problem I overlooked... Patches are of course appreciated :-) -- -- ###### Jos Vos ###### Internet jos@idca.tds.philips.nl ###### -- ###### ###### UUCP ...!mcvax!philapd!jos ######

HDB UUCP that comes with AT&T V.3.2 UNIX includes support for TLI, TLIS, and socket interfaces to TCP/IP connections. Using existing TLIS (TLI STREAMS Based) code, all you need is to set up listener service database to invoke uucico when a request comes in from a remote TCP/IP host. This is only useful if you have another machine with TCP/IP, TLI, and equivalent UUCP. Porting BSD 4.3 UUCP daemon has already been done several times for different incarnations of TCP/IP implementations for system V Unix's. Unfortunately none of them are "free" that I know of. -- Hwa-jin Bae hwajin@wrs.com ( a.k.a. {uunet,rtech,sun}!wrs!hwajin ) bae@tis.llnl.gov (Internet) 415/832-2926 Wind River Systems, 1351 Ocean Ave, Emeryville, CA 94608 415/428-2623

I know about the TCP/IP via TLI(S), but I need to be able to talk to BSD systems too. >Porting BSD 4.3 UUCP daemon has already been done several times for different >incarnations of TCP/IP implementations for system V Unix's.

Doesn't the daemon just spawn /usr/lib/uucp/uucico? -cliff

Well, yes and no. It plays with sockets doing a listen and opening a a connection and then simulates a login and finally runs uucico passing the open sockets as stdin/stdout. If you have a completely functional socket-emulation package, it shouldn't be a big deal. Also, your uucp is expected to know that it shouldn't try to do all those terminal oriented ioctls on sockets... -- George Robbins - now working for, uucp: {uunet|pyramid|rutgers}!cbmvax!grr but no way officially representing arpa: cbmvax!grr@uunet.uu.net Commodore, Engineering Department fone: 215-431-9255 (only by moonlite)
