Summary: setuname didn't work for me The six-letter system name restriction seems to be hard-coded into /usr/lib/uucp/uucio itself. I asked the administrator here to examine his copy of Sys V, relase 2. Apparently, uucico is built from cico.c, pk0, pk..., and uucp.h found in /usr/src/cmd/uucp. He told me that there is an #ifdef for SYSNSIZE in uucp.h, but alas, there are many places in the code that have the decimal constant 6 "hardwired in" dealing with the system name size. Since I do not have a license **I have not looked at this code** (which ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ is for the vax release anyway). If the uucp on the 3b1 is built from the same source code and SYSNSIZE was not undef'ed at compile time, AND the code was not fixed-up to change the constants to #ifdefs, then there isn't much hope for the 3b1. Uisng setuname doesn't seem to help, uucico always still logs into the other machine with Shere=impuls. Happy holidays, Bill
