Hello,
Since people have been posting things about uucp lately, here's my
problem. I'm new to this uucp thing, so if this is a stupid error,
one that everyone gets, well I'm sorry for not knowing, but I need help
anyway.
This is what happens: I try to poll tbaas, but I get a Handshake error.
Any ideas? Here's my LOGFILE
tbaas!uucp (9/10-1:44:25) (C,4188,0) C.tbaas (bldfl)
tbaas!uucp (9/10-1:44:55) (C,4188,0) OK (DIAL ph0 P**phone # deleted** 23)
tbaas!uucp (9/10-1:45:03) (C,4188,0) SUCCEEDED (call to tbaas )
tbaas!uucp (9/10-1:45:05) (C,4188,0) Shere=tbaas (HERE)
tbaas!uucp (9/10-1:45:10) (C,4188,0) harrie (send Myname)
tbaas!uucp (9/10-1:45:14) (C,4188,0) HANDSHAKE FAILED (^M^M)
I'm also trying to feed another computer where I work. It is running
BNU, though (at least that's what they call it. Looks like HDB to me)
It's an IBM rt running AIX. When I try to poll my machine with it, it will
log in correctly, but after getting a "Valid Shere=harrie" I get an error,
(you guessed it) Handshake failed.
What is going wrong, and what can I do to correct it? Thanks in advance!!
(you guys know everything about how to fix my machine)

And if your RT is running AIX 2.2.1, the current release for the RT, you've got HDB. Or something that started out as HDB. Somehow IBM managed to introduce an enormous number of bugs into it (most of the rest of AIX 2.2.1 too). I'm not saying that this is your problem in this case, but I've spent many hours trying to coax AIX 2.2.1's HDB into doing what any decent uucp should be able to do without any problem, and given a problem that involved it (or any other part of 2.2.1) I would *always* suspect the IBM software first. -- Karl Swartz |UUCP {ames,lll-winken}!pacbell!ditka!kls 1-505/672-3113 |Internet kls@rt1.lanl.gov |BIX kswartz "I never let my schooling get in the way of my education."
