If your machine's now able to get mail normally to an internet mail address, your friend could probably tweak his configuration to use uureroute to resend your mail to your new address or you could configure uucp on your system to query his machine to pick up your mail. The steps necessary to configure your machine vary depending the MTA (Mail Transport Agent) you're using. Using postfix, it's not very difficult although I must admit that I've been using smail-3.2 on all our uucp machines, largely because that's what I've been using for about 13 years, and it don't have to learn how to configure postfix. The basics are that you need to configure uucp on your system to call his (connect via uucp over tcp), and have an rmail program that will feed the incoming uucp mail into your MTA. The most important thing is to know exactly what e-mail address the remote uux process is going to feed to your system so your MTA knows where to deliver it on your end. You have to know this before you make the connection or your machine is liable to just dump the incoming mail in the bit bucket as undeliverable. >> >> The Taylor uucp contrib directory has an old uureroute script that I wrote >> years ago that can be used to go through uucp queues to remail messages >> where delivery methods have changed. >> >> Bill > >Sorry about the multiple messages, I have a different problem with dns >that is fixed now. > >Thanks for your help!

I'll admit to being a dinosaur as well, at least to the extent that we still support uucp dialup customers, and I configure our clients on cable connections to send/receive their e-mail through our servers using uucp over tcp. Sometimes the old protocols are exactly what the doctor ordered. My main question is whether the mail got dumped out of the queue on the remote uucp host or on his machine locally? The uuclean routines on most uucp hosts nukes expired messages completely, and doesn't move it to another directory where it can be retrieved. The Taylor uucp contrib directory has an old uureroute script that I wrote years ago that can be used to go through uucp queues to remail messages where delivery methods have changed.

uucp
Hi,
I'm trying to do an installworld and I'm receiving the following error:
--
>>> Making hierarchy
--
cd /usr/src; make -f Makefile.inc1 hierarchy
cd /usr/src/etc;make distrib-dirs

*** Error code 1

Now, I can either go and add the user UUCP.. or I could try figure out why
make is ignoring this:
foo# grep UUCP /etc/make.conf
NOUUCP=true# do not build uucp related programs
Any ideas on where to start?
Please cc me in on replies..

There was actually a bunch of stuff left from 4.7... other than uucp and perl. Looking through it, one could tell that some things were just renamed on the new release. It sure would be nice if an installworld would clean that stuff up. In addition, there were man pages and docs for the old perl located outside the /bin /sbin /usr/bin /user/sbin directories that needed cleaning up... as well as some uucp stuff in /var/spool. Also a couple of periodic jobs relating to uucp. > i havnt tried till now. have you included the COMPAT 4 option in the > kernel to still be able to run the 4.x binaries? i succussfull build > 5.0 on a box running 4.7. till now (except the a.ot -> elf update) it > always worked in multiuser mode too. sometimes after the first rebbot > a second installworld was neccecary but it worked. but i will try > today if installword lets me do it and then post the result. i only > dont want to travel thousends of km to boxes to do a installworld. Yes, the COMPAT_FREEBSD4 was compiled into my kernel by default. The thing is, the installworld does a kernel test to determine if the running kernel is recent enough. So I don't know how you'd installworld while on the old 4.7 kernel. In my case, the test failure was indicated by a segfault. (not the nicest way, but it certainly got it's point across) -- -=Elden=- http://www.moondog.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message

Reading your last sentence, I guess you will be doing UUCP over TCP/IP. Basically, the setup is the same as for dialup, just instead of connecting through a modem, you connect via TCP/IP. I'll try to give some samples based on the files I use myself (don't shoot me if there are mistakes in my samples, I'm trying to put it together from much more complicated files without reading the whole UUCP book again): - make sure all the files in /etc/uucp/ are owned by the user uucp and group uucp!!! - for uucp over TCP/IP you don't need the dial file - if you only call out but will not be called by others, you don't need the passwd file - /etc/uucp/call: -- # system-name login-namepassword provider Uyou yourpwd -- -> provider is the uucp nodename (peername) of your provider -> Uyou is the uucp-login name you are assigned -> yourpwd is the password for Uyou - /etc/uucp/config: -- uuname you -- -> you is the uucp nodename (peername) you were assigned - /etc/uucp/port: -- portTCP typetcp -- -> instead of specifying modems and serial ports here, you need to set these to TCP - /etc/uucp/sys: -- time ANY 1 port TCP chat ogin: \L ssword: \P call-login * call-password * protocol-parameter g window 7 protocol-parameter g packet-size 1024 system provider addressyour.providers.uucp.host -- -> this assumes that you use the g protocol with a window size of 7 and a packet size of 1k -> \L and \P will be taken from your /usr/uucp/call file -> the value for the system keyword (provider) must correspond to the first entry on a line in your /etc/uucp/call file -> the address is the fully qualified hostname or IP address of your providers uucp host The sample files in /etc/uucp/ are a good starting poing. You might also want to have a good look at the uucp info pages (use the command 'info uucp'). And if you really want to learn the details, I can recommend O'Reilly's book 'Using & Managing uucp' (ISBN: 1-56592-153-4), but it might be hard to find a copy, since it has been out of print for quite some time.

I can tell you what I have set, and you can see if this works for you too. I collect all my mail via UUCP. In /etc/uucp/sys : # Start of system mailserver system mailserver time Any baud 0 port type tcp port seven-bit false port reliable true port half-duplex false port service uucp address 192.168.3.254 chat ogin:-\r-ogin:-\r-ogin: uuuserid word: uupass Just touch /etc/uucp/port Thats all it took for me. Then I have a script called "douucp" I put in /usr/local/bin/douucp /usr/libexec/uucp/uucico -x1 -S mailserver /usr/libexec/uucp/uuxqt sleep 3 /usr/sbin/sendmail -q -v You can check /var/spool/uucp for Log, and Debug for messages.

UUCP Mail
Hi, I have a machine with a permanent connection, that I am installing for a client. Their provider lets them collect mail via UUCP. Can anyone explain in simple terms how to use uucp. I have the node name, username and password. I just don't know how to use it. The only examples I can find are regarding uucp and dial up. thanks in advance Doron Shmaryahu To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message

The mtree files should be getting updated via mergemaster, so you shouldn't have any trouble with making a local modification and keeping it through system updates. It's probably more safer to keep the users there, though. Their default login information doesn't give them any system access capabilities, so their presence isn't a risk.

There's no way to currently do that. Kris msg05775/pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature
