Question to the uucp experts: We recently received a netblazer/ST to gain access to the internet network. We now want to download our USENET news and mail over the active connection with uunet instead of the dialup modem connection that we have always been using. I have looked in the 'Managing UUCP and USENET' manual on how to reconfigure our system to make this happen. Let me interupt and say that we have a Sun386i running SunOS 4.0.2 as our host we use for the mail and news. Now, when I changed the L.sys file as shown in the manual for running uucp over TCP our systems UUCP LOGFILE says there is 'no DEVICE'. Further, investigation show that in the /etc/services file there is an entry for the uucp service and port 540 but I'm not sure about the uucp deamon. I am assuming there must be a uucp deamon entry in the inetd.conf file, and if so, is that deamon resident in the /usr/etc directory along with all the rest of the deamons in that file. Is that a standard process with SunOS 4.0(+)??? because we don't seem to have it on our system. Because we don't have it, can we get it???, will it run on the 386i systems???, is there public domain versions of this deamon or will we have to purchase it??? Thank you in advance for all those who reply!!! -- Eric J. Seeger Phone: (703)356-3551 Sterling Software Inc.
