I'm having a problem with uucp on the RS6000. Uucico goes through the chat script fine, but after sending the password (the last thing in the script), it just sits there, as if it had another expect string. The remote system starts up its uucico and I get what looks like should be a good login. My local uucico just waits for awhile, and eventually times out with a LOGIN FAILED... Does this behavior sound familiar to anyone? thanks, jockc@hammer.idsila.com

On other systems, I had this problem. The first thing that I did was to invoke uucico with a debug level of 9 (uucico -r1 -x9 -s.....). This will tell you all of the inside things about the uucp session. I discovered that the remote system I was trying to talk to did not recognise me as having access to it. This was because it's uucp file structures were different than what I had set them up to be.

Is it possible that the remote system is asking you to change your password? The best way to find out what is happening is to use "cu" to dial-up that system, and tehn login using the same login as 'uucico' uses (like "nuucp" if that is the uucp login account). When you login to a valid uucico program, you will get the message: Shere=<system_name> (Where <system_name> is the output from the "uuname -l" command on the remote system.) If you get this far, then it should work unless you have a problem in the "Permissions" file on one of the machines. -- +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |The views expressed herein, are the sole responsibility of the typist at hand| +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |UUCP: robin%aixserv@uunet.uu.net | |USNail: 701 Canyon Bend Dr. | | Pflugerville, TX 78660 | | Home: (512)251-6889 Work: (512)823-3015 | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
