Hello.
Several recent messages have appeared, indicating that people are having
difficulty in getting a TCP/IP link using HDB uucp. I am also having
considerable trouble with this. Here are the particulars:
SCO xenix 2.3.2 running on my_machine and their_machine
My Systems file entry looks like this:
#Site Sched Device Speed Phone Chatscript
Their_machine Any TCPIP 9600 - "" \r ogin: uucp
My Devices file entry looks like this:
#Devicetype Ttyline Dialerline Speed Dialer [Token Dialer Token..]
TCPIP ttyT32 - 9600 direct
Using uucico to test the connection as follows:
/usr/lib/uucp/uucico -r1 -stheir_machine -x6
Gives this result:
mchFind called (their_machine)
fillFlds: entered
fillFlds: returning
chdir(/usr/spool/uucp/their_machine)
conn(their_machine)
Device Type TCPIP wanted
mlock ttyT32 succeeded
fixline(5, 9600)
getto ret 5
expect: ("")
got it
sendthem (^M^M)
expect: (ogin:)
^M^J^L^Jmy_machine!login:got it
sendthem (uucp^M)
ISTRIP cleared
WRONG MACHINE NAME - failed
exit code 101
Conversation Complete: Status FAILED
As you can see, I'm getting a login to my own machine! Any idea of what I'm
doing wrong? My first thought was of a problem in the /etc/hosts file, which
looks like this:
# Hosts File Created Tue Aug 1 17:14:55 EDT 1989
127.0.0.0 loopback lb
89.0.0.0 broadcast
89.0.0.2 newark localhost
# should look similiar to the following:
89.0.0.3 their_machine
89.0.0.4 other_machine
89.0.0.5 still_another_machine
I can't see a problem with this. Any help would be appreciated.
