UUCP Support (x29uucpd)

x3

Optional. This is the X.3 configuration set name for

 

UUCP file transfers. If this entry is used in

 

/etc/x25/x29hosts, the configuration set name with

 

its set of X.3 parameters must be specified in

 

/etc/x25/x3config. All legal X.3 parameters

 

contained in the x3config file are downloaded at

 

connection time. If there is more than one X.3

 

configuration set with the same set name in

 

/etc/x25/x3config, the first one is used.

 

If there is no configuration set name in x29hosts or

 

matching X.3 configuration set name in x3config, the

 

default parameters are downloaded (see “X.3

 

Parameter Descriptions” for information on X.3

 

parameters). x29uucpd operates in line mode only.

 

 

Configuring System and Device Files for UUCP

 

 

The following example describes the configuration procedure for cu, uucp

 

 

and uucico transfers between two systems. In this example, the local

 

 

system is called “dave” and the remote system is called “bill.” The two

 

 

systems are configured to handle file transfers originating from the local

 

 

system (dave) and received by the remote system (bill).

 

 

 

NOTE

 

Refer to the man pages for information on x25uucp device entry

 

 

parameters.

 

 

At the “dave” system:

 

 

Step

1. Make sure that the directory /var/spool/uucp/LCK..x29 exists. If it

 

 

doesn’t exist, create it.

Step

2. Configure the usr/lib/uucp/Systems file as follows:

 

 

bill Any;5 dev_bill, f 19200 - ““ \r\d\r\d\r login: -BREAK

 

 

-login: uucp word: test

 

 

where:

 

 

bill – is the name of the destination system (7 characters maximum).
