- I got Taylor-UUCP working, too. But there are a problems.
- The first thing I had to do was to copy the UUCP-executables from
- /usr/libexec/uucp to /usr/bin for example. /usr/libexec/uucp isn't in
- the search part, so the uucico-daemon wasn't started correctly.
- Second there are some permission problems. I solved them but I didn't
- care for system security. (Well, I just wanted this UUCP work). You
- have to change the ownership of /var/spool/uucp/* to "uucp". Also you
- must allow UUCP to access /var/spool/lock. And of course
- /var/spool/log/aculog. I think there are more of these permission
- problems, but they are quite easy to solve. I can't understand why
- there are so many permission problems. Why wasn't the binary tested
- before released to the people?

- Eh, well, that's also my problem. The first thing I did was to set
- the "routedflags" in /etc/rc to "NO". So, the startup scripts doesn't
- start the router. Then you have to configure the /etc/hosts file.
- Please don't alter the entry for "localhost"! If you have done this,
- a call to gethostbyname will return correct results if you query for
- a name. See the manpages for gethostbyname for further help.
- I think there's a problem with sendmail. I think the sample
- sendmail.cf file is for a site connected via ethernet to the
- internet. Has anybody a correct sendmail.cf? Or, does anybody know
- which version of sendmail is supplied with 386BSD 0.1?
