- I have recently bumped into a problem with uucico, and you are such a
- helpful bunch ;-)
-
- It fails if uugetty is NOT running on that port.
- cu works fine, both ways.
-
- Looking at the lights, nothing is even sent to the modem, as far as I
- can tell. DTR comes active, and then goes away when the script fails.
-
- I am reasonably familiar with the modem, and it has worked fine for
- months. I have recently done an OS upgrade. I don't know if it did this
- before, as I usually have uugetty running. I did /dev/MAKEDEV tty, was
- appalled at what /dev/MAKEDEV owners did (chown everything to root) and
- fixed them so the ports are owned by uucp.
-
- Various permissions :-
-
- /usr/lib/uucp% ls -l /dev/ttyf2 uugetty uucico /usr/bin/cu
- crw--w--w- 1 uucp uucp 0, 98 Nov 23 00:02 /dev/ttyf2
- ---s--x--x 1 uucp uucp 65584 Nov 19 13:35 /usr/bin/cu*
- ---s--x--x 1 uucp uucp 159792 Nov 19 13:47 uucico*
- -r-xr-xr-x 1 uucp uucp 73776 Nov 19 13:47 uugetty*
-
- System uunet asks for ACU, and from my Devices file :-
-
- ACU ttyf2 null 19200 twincomP
-
- Does anyone recognise this, or have any suggestions ?
-
- OS :- IRIX 4.0.5F
-
- Herewith two uucico logs :-
-
- First with this line in /etc/inittab :-
-
- t2:23:respawn:/usr/lib/uucp/uugetty -t 90 -itwincom,twincomA ttyf2 dx_19200
-
-
- /usr/lib/uucp% uucico -r1 -suunet -x7
- mchFind called (uunet)
- list (rmail) num = 1
- list (/) num = 1
- list (/bin/rmail) list (/usr/news/bin/input/rnews) num = 2
- _Request (FALSE), _Switch (TRUE), _CallBack (FALSE), _MyName (), _Commands /bin/rmail
- _Commands /usr/news/bin/input/rnews
- chdir(/usr/spool/uucp/uunet)
- conn(uunet)
- Device Type ACU wanted
- mlock ttyf2 succeeded
- filelock: ok
- fixline(5, 19200)
- processdev: calling setdevcfg(uucico, ACU)
- gdial(twincomP) called
- expect: ("")
- got it
- sendthem (PAUSE
- ATZ^M)
- expect: (OK)
-
- ... continuing successful call script.
-
- However, with this in /etc/inittab :-
-
- t2:23:off:/usr/lib/uucp/uugetty -t 90 -itwincom,twincomA ttyf2 dx_19200
-
- /usr/lib/uucp% uucico -r1 -suunet -x7
- mchFind called (uunet)
- list (rmail) num = 1
- list (/) num = 1
- list (/bin/rmail) list (/usr/news/bin/input/rnews) num = 2
- _Request (FALSE), _Switch (TRUE), _CallBack (FALSE), _MyName (), _Commands /bin/rmail
- _Commands /usr/news/bin/input/rnews
- chdir(/usr/spool/uucp/uunet)
- conn(uunet)
- Device Type ACU wanted
- mlock ttyf2 succeeded
- timed out
- generic open timeout
- set interface UNIX
- getto ret -1
- Call Failed: CAN'T ACCESS DEVICE
- exit code 101
