Warren,
|
|
I'll let you and everyone else know how StG V4 for OSK is coming along. I
|
|
do have what is already out. I do have StG V3 for the CoCo up and runnibg as
|
|
an offline reader for now. But do plan switching over to V4 when it is ready.
|
|
I don't completey have it set up yet. Too many other things going on.

OK Colin, I understand! Bob can only read so he will not be
|
|
able to to see what we say about him. Boy have I got a lot
|
|
to say about him! I'd better save it for the Chicago Fest,
|
|
it might be too hot to handle on this echo.....:-)

Finally found my goofup in sending mail out with proper 'reply--to'
|

field. One must not have more than one superuser in password file,
|
|
Nuff said !

Warren,
|
|
|
|
I've got my UUCP setup up and running just fine, so I doubt that a
|
|
serious bug exists. I suspect that your setup is wrong.
|
|
|
|
Mail me your parameters, password file, tree structure of /dd/usr, and
|
|
your .login and startup files, and we'll go from there.
|
|
|
|
Do this on Internet, that way I'll get them faster.
|
|
|
|
I'll pass on your message to Bob Billson.
|
|
|
|
TTYL. Colin.

Colin,
|
|
All is working fine now, I just had to do it the hard way, by
|
|
trial and error. My biggest hurdle is understanding how the UID is used
|
|
but now have the handle on that. Got to remember I run/ran RiBBS since
|
|
1988 and have to relearn how users are handled on the UUCP system.
|
|
I have been in contact on Internet with Bob and his and your hints
|
|
and help are what got me thru it.
|
|
A little addition in the docs with more samples for OSK would be
|
|
helpful and a fix for adduser. One has to edit the password entry and
|
|
fix the /dd/usr/(added user) ulogin to the .login used by OSK.
|
|
I am replying here for those thinking of setting up UUCP so that
|
|
they relize it can be done by a dodo like me and thus almost anyone can
|
|
do it.
|
|
I do like the speed which UUCP can be used to make up a msg and send
|
|
it out, even on my 2400 baud modem it really goes fast.

The following is a clarification msg;

From : Warren Hrach
|
|
Subject : UUCP OSK bugs
|
|

|
|
Well after working with the UUCP for a few weeks I find that a serious
|
|
bug exists in how it reads the /dd/sys/password file. The only way I can
|
|
get it to send mail and receive mail to me (root@ocnbeach.jd.com) is if
|
|
I have 'root,rootpass,0.0,128,/dd/cmds,/dd,shell' as a first entry.
|
|
if I have my name 'warren,xxx,0.0,128,/dd/cmds,/dd/usr/warren, shell'
|
|
as the first line in password then it will make up a mail pkt with the
|
|
'reply--to warren@ocnbeach.jd.com' but it will not send it. The error I
|
|
get is a line in the log something like this;
|
|
'jadpc warrren etc etc etc ERROR rdmsg can't get (or read) file'.
|
|
I have checked attributes on the file, compiled with both versions
|
|
of password.h and still same bug. I have been able to send myself mail
|
|
from my fidonet system to 'warren@ocnbeach.jd.com' but it goes into my
|
|
/dd/usr/warren dir and mailx cant find it. If I copy the msg. pkts to
|
|
the /dd/usr/root dir then mailx will read it no problem.
|
|
I have also sent msg to Bob Billson and Boisy about this but so far
|
|
no help received.
|
|
|
|
------------------------- clarification part -------------------------
|
|
|
|
For those that may take the previous sentence out of context and assume
|
|
that Bob Billson and/or Boisy Pitre are not responding to help requests
|
|
note that I am referring to the current progress I had as of this date,
|
|
May 1. I had replies earlier overnite and when several days went by
|
|
without a reply to this particular problem I posted the above. Since
|
|
then Bob replied and his last reply solved my problem. Boisy finally
|
|
replied complaining about this May 1 post. That is why this
|
|
clarification is posted.]*
|
|
|
|
---------------------------- Copy follows -----------------------------
|
|
|
|
I cant figure is Colin McKay has his password
|
|
file set with his name first and his works !!!
|
|
|
|
So if anyone is keeping a bug list consider adding this. I also
|
|
have not setup the news sections yet since I heard that had bug(s) in
|
|
where it put the news groups.
|
|
|
|
-------------------------- clarification 2nd part --------------------
|
|
|
|
The main reason for all this is to make those that may be interested
|
|
in setting up UUCP on their OSK machine informed and provide help.
|
|
Of course since I now have mine working I feel like an expert ! But
|
|
one should go to the original authors but I will help as best I can.
