- We've got Wollongong TCP/IP running on a 3B2/1000 network, and followed
- Appendix B ("Setting TCP/IP WIN/3B For UUCP") in the "Installation and
- Administration Guide".
-
- Basically, you use nlsadmin to add a uucico service to the network
- listener:
-
- nlsadmin -a 101 -c "/usr/lib/uucp/uucico -r0 -i TLI -u nuucp" tcp
-
- Then you create the TCP/IP listener address file:
- /usr/etc/rfsaddr -h `uname -n` >/usr/net/nls/tcp/addr
-
- Make sure you have this in /usr/lib/uucp/Dialers:
- tcp "" "" NLPS:000:001:101\N\c
-
- (Note the 101 in this field matches the "-a 101" in the nlsadmin command.)
-
- In /usr/lib/uucp/Devices:
- TCP,eg tcp - - TLI \D tcp
-
- And finally, in /usr/lib/uucp/Systems:
- otherguy Any TCP - \x0002040159000018
-
- The last field is the transport address, as Greg Gulik describes:
-
- \x - number that follows is hex
- 0002 - Address family AF_INET
- 0401 - TCP port number Network Listener listens on.
- 59000018 - IP address of remote host (0x59.0.0.0x18)
-
- (This field is similar to the one /usr/etc/rfsaddr creates, the only
- difference being the IP address.)
-
-
- A difference between my example and Greg Gulik's is that mine does
- not require uucico to log into the system as a user. This is quicker,
- but less secure.
