- We have 3 phone numbers to use for our upstream mail/Usenet feed. They
- are listed in our 'Systems' file consecutively in the order they are to
- be called:
-
- gwinnett Any;1 ACU,g 2400 9999999 in:-BREAK-in: XXX word: YYY
- gwinnett Any;1 ACU,g 2400 9999999 in:-BREAK-in: XXX word: YYY
- gwinnett Any;1 ACU,g 2400 9999999 in:-BREAK-in: XXX word: YYY
-
- where "9999999" is the phone number, "XXX" is the user id and "YYY" is
- the password. The phone numbers in our Systems file are all different.
-
- The problem is this: The first phone number is tried, and if it fails,
- the other two are attempted, but never actually dialed because uucico
- gets a "generic timeout" (that's the oh-so-helpful message from "Uutry
- gwinnett -x9").
-
- The log looks like this:
-
- uucp gwinnett (11/18-14:31:01,7090,0) FAILED (LOGIN FAILED)
- uucp gwinnett (11/18-14:31:12,7090,0) TIMEOUT (generic open)
- uucp gwinnett (11/18-14:31:22,7090,0) TIMEOUT (generic open)
- uucp gwinnett (11/18-14:31:32,7090,0) TIMEOUT (generic open)
- uucp gwinnett (11/18-14:31:32,7090,0) CONN FAILED (CAN'T ACCESS DEVICE)
-
- The FAILED message comes from the actual dial attempt (line was busy),
- but then 3 generic open errors. I would have expected only 2.
-
- Is uucico not closing the modem device while trying to open it for the
- next numbers? Is this a known bug?
-
- Relevant info from "uname -a":
- HP-UX qcinet A.08.02 E 9000/827 1764625181
-
- Thanks to anyone who can help.
