-
- Actually, this was the uutry log produced after I changed the
- entry in "/etc/inetd.conf" from "/etc/uucpd" to
- "/usr/lib/uucp/uucpd". There seemed to be another uucpd on the
- system and it seemed to get me a little further along in the
- dialogue. The original uucpd was producing a "user unknown"
- message right after the login name was given and before a
- password was even checked. This is the right uucpd to use, which
- was pointed out to me by belal@sco.com. The one in usr/lib/uucp
- was released with the UNIX runtime in error and was compiled from
- an earlier version of the source, with the wrong development
- environment.
-
- The mystery is solved. It seems that the Systems file entry chat
- script that was used when a modem was being used to connect was
- producing my "user unknown" message. Here are the two entries
- that I have used to fix the problem:
-
- #SystemB Any TCP,e Any - --gin:--gin:--gin:-BREAK-ogin:-BREAK-ogin: systema word: foobar
- SystemB Any TCP,e Any - gin: systema word: foobar
-
- The first one was being used until today, when I was mailed an
- extract from the SCO "How to" database that showed the greatly
- simplified chat script. I decided to take a shot in the dark and
- see if the BREAK (which I never saw being sent in the uutry log)
- was causing the trouble. The second entry worked fine, first
- try.
-
- I am now going to test the first entry by just removing the BREAK
- portion of the entry, to see if it is the syntax of the script
- that causes the problem, or the BREAK.
-
