[comp.unix.i386] uucp under sco unix v3.2.1

phil@dprmpt.UUCP (Philip Hall) (08/07/90)

I wish to thank everyone that has helped me in the past.
unfortunately, i can not reply by email, because our mainframe
email is broken.

I have some questions concerning the bytes/secs values that
uucp puts into xferstats.
the total number of secs as reported by sco unix
v3.2.1 seems to be approx. twice the value as reported by the machine
i transfer from/to. i believe the number as reported by this machine.
is uucp/xferstats broken in v3.2.1?

Broken is a very hard word. Besides you are right: SCO-UNIX uucico
doubles the time values (and so halves the Bytes/sec value). Hope SCO
corrects this bug in the next release (or in a SLS).
