Annotation of 43BSD/usr.bin/uucp/README.TCP, revision 1.1

1.1     ! root        1: The rest of this file is oriented to updating a vanilla 4.2 system.
        !             2: As 4.3 comes configured, all you have to do is uncomment the "uucpd"
        !             3: line in /etc/inetd.conf (and of course update your L.sys as needed).
        !             4: If you want to turn off logging uucp logins in wtmp, set the "user"
        !             5: field in inetd.conf to "uucp", who doesn't have write permission on wtmp.
        !             6: 
        !             7: ----------------------------------------------------------------------
        !             8: Basically, to run UUCP on top of TCP, the code had to be changed to
        !             9: not do ioctl's on sockets,etc. Also, a new protocl 't' was added.
        !            10: This is because the 'g' protocol maxes out at about 9000 baud
        !            11: regardless of the physical medium. The 't' protocol presumes an
        !            12: error free channel, and is essentially the 'g' protocol with the
        !            13: checksumming and packetizing ripped out.
        !            14: 
        !            15: To install it, make uucp with BSD4_2 defined in uucp.h.
        !            16: 
        !            17: Add a line in /etc/services that looks like:
        !            18: uucp           540/tcp         uucpd
        !            19: 
        !            20: Add lines to /etc/rc.local that looks something like:
        !            21: if [ -f /etc/uucpd ]; then
        !            22:        /etc/uucpd & echo -n ' uucpd'                           >/dev/console
        !            23: fi
        !            24: 
        !            25: The L.sys entry should look something like:
        !            26: uucpname time-to-call TCP port networkname standard uucp login chat
        !            27: 
        !            28: This is how it would look for rochester.
        !            29: rochester Any TCP uucp ur-seneca "" uucplogin "" uucppasswd
        !            30: 
        !            31: UUCP site rochester is arpanet site ur-seneca (and there is a 
        !            32: arpanet site rochester  that is a different machine)
        !            33: 
        !            34: The "port" field is either a word or a number. It is a number,
        !            35: that number is used as the port. If it is a word, the word is
        !            36: looked up in /etc/services and the port is taken from there.
        !            37: 
        !            38: Another example would be:
        !            39: seismo Any TCP 33 seismo "" uucplogin "" uucppassword
        !            40: 
        !            41: In almost every case, the networkname field will be the same as the
        !            42: uucpname field. Similarly, the port field will usually be "uucp", which
        !            43: says to use the standard uucp port from the services file.
        !            44: 
        !            45: The daemon expects the incoming site to send its login and password
        !            46: for authentication.
        !            47: 
        !            48: If you have any problems feel free to call me:
