I have a couple sites to which I connect using UUCP, but when I try to send mail
to these sites I get 'site not connected via UUCP' message. I have refroze
the sendmail file (with /usr/lib/sendmail -bz) but still get this message.
The only way I could find of getting around this problem was to remove the
test from sendmail.cf and just uux return error codes for invalid sites.
Am I missing something, or am I just being silly?
This happened with both VAX Ultrix 3.1 and 4.1
Thanks

If you are running the standard ULTRIX sendmail.cf it needs editing. Check to make sure that the line with FZ at the beginning is not commented out. (It should *not* have a # in front of it.) While you are editing you might change the file name listed to the correct path (it says /usr/lib/uucp/L.sys and it should now be /usr/var/uucp/L.sys). Then refreeze the sendmail configuration file (issue "/usr/lib/sendmail -bz" as root) and kill and restart sendmail. Fred

Didn't even need to kill and restart sendmail, just refroze it :-) (But I killed it anyway, just to be safe) -- Stephen Harris Disclaimer: me have an opinion? | Email: ..!ukc!axion!tharr!sweh What an idea! | sweh%tharr.uucp@uk.co.bt.axion Wanted: humour transplant | tharr!sweh@uk.ac.ukc <-- tharr *free* public access to Usenet in the UK 0234 261804 -->
