Hi gang,
Say, has anybody tried getting `uucpd' to work on ultrix? We have
got version 1.2, and the uucpd source compiled fine with the 4.2-ish
defaults, but alas, it appears to not work. Most of the other uucp
over tcp/ip stuff worked fine (except for dialing the phone - can
you believe it, it couldn't dial a darn hayes modem - yeesh), but
the daemon does this...
%/etc/uucpd
uucpd: getpeername: Socket operation on non-socket
The `getpeername' occurs right at the beginning of the program,
and is done on socket 0, which, I presume, being standard input,
confuses somebody. So, has anybody got any keen ideas?
You may wonder why - well, we exchange news and mail with a close
neighbor over a local network, and 1200 baud seems real dumb when
we've got a network... I also had problems with `rrn', and really
have NO desire to plunge into that one - has anybody got it working
so they can read news maintained on another machine? Seems like a
simple thing, but it don't work, either. It seems to start ok, then
it just doesn't understand the `y' key - "do you want to read this
article?", you say `y', and it ignores you. Nice. Anybody deal with this
before.
Help. Please. Reply to me, because news is, ahem, at least 1 machine
away all the time.
