MAN pages on uucp and uucpd >are note included in my version of Unix :( Hmmm... after a little pokeing around, I can see that I aint got it either and I installed everything from the 0.9 release. I can only assume that there aint one in it. Can anyone confirm this? Do any of the *BSDs have one as distributed? As far as getting one installed, I would ftp uucp-1.04* from prep.ai.mit.edu. It looks like it would work well and has a ton of DOCs with it. I would guess that using the TAYLOR mode would be your best bet with it since it was probably debugged in that mode. Some gusses about the policy.h configs... #define HAVE_BSD_TTY 1 #define HAVE_UNBLOCKED_WRITES 0 (even though it says otherwise) #define CLOSE_LOGFILES 1 (might help when hacking) The rest look like a good place to start. If you get it working, I am sure that the net would appreciate any comments you have on the configuration and policy.h settings. I expect that sendmail will be a larger problem then UUCP. You can find info about it in: /usr/share/doc/smm/16.sendmail /usr/share/doc/smm/07.sendmailop /home/usr/src/usr.sbin/sendmail/READ_ME /home/usr/src/usr.sbin/sendmail/cf/README Good luck, --John -- !
