Message-ID: <369@houxf.UUCP> Date: Wed, 6-Jul-83 18:39:03 EDT Article-I.D.: houxf.369 Posted: Wed Jul 6 18:39:03 1983 Date-Received: Thu, 7-Jul-83 16:34:30 EDT Organization: Bell Labs, Holmdel NJ Lines: 51 I can't get uucp to work on my 4.1BSD system. The hardware is OK (i.e. works on USG), and I can use cu without much trouble. Uucp will accept calls from other systems, and will put files in queue to be transmitted when polled. But it won't dial out by itself; I get BAD LINE errors from somewhere. Here's a transcript of what happens: $ echo hello | mail houxm!houxf!govern $ uucico -r1 -x9 -shouxm gdial called AERROR - (nr == 4) BAD LINE #exit code -1 $ cd /usr/spool/uucp $ ls -lt -rw-rw-rw- 1 nuucp 104 Jul 6 17:59 C.houxmA1251 -rw-rw-rw- 1 nuucp 124 Jul 6 17:59 D.houxmB1250 -rw-rw-rw- 1 nuucp 61 Jul 6 17:59 D.hoscfX1248 -rw-rw-rw- 1 nuucp 178309 Jul 6 17:27 LOGFILE -rw-rw-rw- 1 nuucp 0 Jul 6 17:26 AUDIT cd /dev crw-rw-rw- 1 nuucp 25, 0 Jul 6 10:42 cua0 crw-rw-rw- 1 nuucp 25, 1 Jul 5 11:47 cua1 crw-rw-rw- 1 nuucp 1, 11 Jul 6 10:46 cul0 crw-rw-rw- 1 nuucp 1, 12 Jul 5 12:01 cul1 crw-rw-rw- 1 root 7, 0 Mar 25 11:47 dn0 crw-rw-rw- 1 root 7, 1 Mar 16 18:38 dn1 $ cd /usr/lib/uucp $ grep houxm L.sys houxm Any ACU 1200 HOg7782 in:--in: THELOGIN word: THEPASSWORD $ cat L-devices ACU cul1 cua1 1200 ACU cul0 cua0 1200 $ cat L-dialcodes HOg 123- Is there something I'm missing? When I first got my BSD system ( I borrowed a working copy rather than booting from the tape.) there was a "/usr/lib/dnd" that turned /dev/cua0 into some sort of mpx file from /etc/rc, but it didn't work then either.
