- A piece of information that I forgot to provide: I had to change
- the entry in /etc/inetd.conf for uucpd from "/etc/uucpd" to
- "/usr/lib/uucp/uucpd" in order to get to the password prompt. I
- just changed the entry back to "/etc/uucpd" in both system's
- files and got the following:
-
- mchFind called (McDonal)
- list (rmail) num = 1
- fillFlds: entered
- fillFlds: returning
- list (/) num = 1
- list (/) num = 1
- list (ALL) num = 1
- _Request (TRUE), _Switch (TRUE), _CallBack (FALSE), _MyName (), _Commands ALL
- chdir(/usr/spool/uucp/McDonal)
- conn(McDonal)
- ProtoStr = e
- Device Type TCP wanted
- Internal caller type TCP
- tcpdial host McDonald, port 540

- Notice the "user unknown" above? I was getting this when there
- used to be a password on the account, before the password was
- even prompted for! Now I have removed the password because of
- some recent postings about two Sun systems needing the parity
- changed for the password. Since this is a TCP connection, the
- password is not necessary, so I've removed it.
-
- I don't know why there are two "uucpd" programs, one in "/etc"
- and the other in "/usr/lib/uucp", but using the one in uucp does
- not produce the "user unknown" message. I think that there is
- some TCP configuration info either missing or incorrect so that a
- UUCP connection attempt bombs this way.
-
- This is new territory for me so I'm just guessing at what could
- be wrong. The documentation does not cover setting up UUCP on
- TCP/IP very well at all.
-
- Thanks for any help you may be able to provide.
