- I'm trying to set up UUCP between a remote machine (bastille) and a local
- machine (focus) - bastille always polls focus and focus never polls
- bastille. The unique feature is that on the focus side, the
- connection goes through a modem pool and then via ethernet to focus.
-
- Here's an abridged version of the debug output from uucico -r1 -x6 -sfocus
- on bastille:
-
- [...]
- root focus (8/25-17:29-190) SUCCEEDED (call to focus )
- imsg looking for SYNC<
- \20>
- imsg input<Shere\0>got 5 characters
- omsg <Sbastille -Q0 -x6>
- imsg looking for SYNC<
- Connection Closed
- port 15 unixops-annex: root focus (8/25-17:30-190) TIMEOUT (focus)
-
- On focus I get the error:
-
- ASSERT ERROR (uucico) pid: 1240 (8/25-17:32) NO DEFAULT SPOOL DIRECTORY subdir (0)
-
- in ERRLOG and (sometimes I get) the error:
-
- Ubastill focus (8/25-17:32-18637) CAUGHT (SIGNAL 1)
-
- in LOGFILE. Does it have something to do with the fact the the modem
- is not on a hardwire line to focus and is coming in (essentially) through
- the network? I can't change the /etc/ttys file to tell focus about
- this since I never know which tty it will log on to. How can I fix
- this?
-
- machine info:
- Bastille is a NeXT which I believe is set-up correctly ( I can't see how the
- problem could be coming from here).
- Focus is a DEC VAXserver 3500 running Ultrix 4.1. I set up uucp on focus
- using the supplied "addinsys" script with no changes.
