Just when I thought my 3.1C problems were over...
(1) It seems that the uucp shipped with Ultrix 3.1C still thinks that 19200 is
an "invalid speed".
Does anyone know the offset of the speed table and how to use this "dbx"
animal to do a simple thing like patch an object file. ((where's my adb 8-(
(2) All the uucp programs choke bigtime if you are using a fully qualified
domain name for "hostname" and the whole name is longer than xx characters
(xx ~= 16?). Looks like they are doing hostname() into a small local
character array and blowing the stack.

Since there was some time to play, I did it the hard way... To add the capability of running Telebit or other modems at 19200, I located the speed table in the uucico object and replaced the 50 and 75 baud entries with numbers appropriate for 19200 and 38400 baud. (38400 selects external clock on most interfaces but worth the try!) Since DEC doesn't ship (boo hiss) adb with the PMAX software, the easiest thing to do was rcp the uucico executable over to a Sun make the changes and ship it back. If you have a VAX handy, do it there, since then you don't have to worry about byte order. Here's the "how to" for both Sun and VAX. Be *SURE* to make a backup copy of uucico to avoid looking foolish and also check that it is setuid uucp, setgid daemon after you're done! If the numbers don't match, you've got a version problem... ** Sun ** Procedure: # adb -w uucico 24362?8x 0x24362: 0 3200 0 100 0 4b00 0 200 ?w 0 4b 0 0e00 0 96 0 0f00 ... 24362?8x 0x24362: 0 4b 0 e00 0 96 0 f00 ^D VAX Procedure: (this was cooked, but i suspect it's right) # adb -w uucico 24362?4D 24362: 50 1 75 2 ?W 0t19200 0t14 0t38400 0t15 ... 24362?4D 24362: 19200 14 38400 15 ^D # ls -lg /usr/lib/uucp/uucico # (or, yeech: /var/uucp/uucico) ---s--s--x 1 uucp daemon 172032 Mar 3 00:18 /usr/lib/uucp/uucico -- George Robbins - now working for, uucp: {uunet|pyramid|rutgers}!cbmvax!grr but no way officially representing: domain: grr@cbmvax.commodore.com Commodore, Engineering Department phone: 215-431-9349 (only by moonlite)
