UUCP Tips

  1.  Preface

  ``Red Hat Tips'' are documentation meant to help Red Hat users with
  specific tasks.  Some of these documents are for new users, some are
  for advanced users.  Hopefully each document will also be of help for
  both new and advanced users.  If you have contributions to make,
  please send them to tech-sup@redhat.com.  If you have changes that
  need to be made to individual Tips, send them to the author of that
  document.


  2.  Introduction

  The text of this HOWTO was contributed by Julien Michielsen.  If you
  have problems or questions with any of this, please subscribe to the
  redhat-list mailing list and send them there.  For more info on that
  list, see http://www.redhat.com.

  For those of you also would like to setup uucp, my configuration files
  might be useful to you.  This documentation covers the use of UUCP
  with smail instead of sendmail.  Red Hat ships with sendmail
  configured, but you can uninstall it (rpm -u sendmail) and install the
  smail RPM from the contrib directory on your CD or ftp.redhat.com.  If
  you want sendmail, you'll have to figure out yourself how that works.


  3.  The Basics

  I am a leaf-site in the hobby.nl domain. My provider is
  hgatenl.hobby.nl.  A local second provider (murphy.hobby.nl) can also
  be called. He is my forwarder for news. I am still in the process of
  getting news setup. Therefore I have not tested the setup of murphy
  yet.

  Things to do:

  o  make sure /dev/modem exists. If not, make a symbolic link between
     modem and the cua?-port your modem is on (cua0=com1, cua1=com2,
     ....).

  o  permissions of my /dev/cua3 are crw-rw-rw-

  o  create the file /var/log/uucp, ownership uucp.uucp, permissions
     -rw-rw-r--

  o  create the directory /etc/uucp, and create the files dial, port and
     sys in there. Ownership /etc/uucp is uucp.uucp.  (Also of the files
     in /etc/uucp.)


  4.  Sample Configuration Files


  /etc/uucp/sys:








  remote-send ~
  remote-receive ~
  local-send ~
  local-receive ~
  command-path /usr/sbin
  commands rmail
  #time Wk1800-0700,Sa,Su
  time any
  port ACU
  max-remote-debug none
  #debug chat

  #protocol-parameter i

  system murphy
  commands rmail
  call-login Ukennis
  #          ^ may be specific for my situation
  call-password NotKnown
  phone 0109876543

  system hgatenl
  commands rmail
  call-password MySecret
  chat "" \d\d\d ogin: \dSkennis assword: MySecret "" \d\d Uucp u
  #                      ^                                 ^ specific ??
  phone 0206781234





  /etc/uucp/dial:



       dialer hayesnormal
       chat "" ATZ\r\c\d\d OK\r ATQ0M1E0\r\c OK\r AT&K1\r\c OK\r ATDT\T\r\c CONNECT \d\d\d\r
       chat-fail RING\r
       chat-fail NO\sCARRIER
       chat-fail ERROR
       chat-fail NO\sDIALTONE
       chat-fail BUSY
       chat-fail NO\sANSWER
       chat-fail VOICE
       complete \d\d+++\d\dATH\r\c
       abort \d\d+++\d\dATH\r\c





  /etc/uucp/port:



       port ACU
       type modem
       baud 38400
       device /dev/modem
       carrier true
       dialer hayesnormal




  5.  Smail Configuration

  Subsequently install the smail RPM. I used the smail.3.1.29.i386.rpm,
  which worked fine.  In the /etc/smail directory I made the following
  entry in /etc/smail/config :



       hostname=kennis.hobby.nl
       domains=hobby.nl
       smart_path=hgatenl
       # max_message_size=512k
       # domains=foo.bar

       # smart_path=isp
       # uucp_name=hname.foo.bar
       # visible_name=foo.bar
       # auth_domains=foo.bar
       # more_hostnames=nonfoo:nonfoo.foo.bar




  Create /etc/smail/maps/map:




       #N      foo.bar foo2.bar2
       #S      AT 486/RedHat Linux 1.2.13
       #O      organization
       #C      contact
       #E      administration (email)
       #T      phone
       #P      address
       #R
       #U      hosts connected via uucp
       #W      created/edited by
       #
       # hname isp

       # hname foo.bar

       # hname = foo.bar
       # hname = hname.foo.bar
       kennis  .hobby.nl(LOCAL)
       kennis = kennis.hobby.nl
       hgatenl kennis(DIRECT)





  6.  You're Done!

  Hope I didn't forget any adjustments I made, and that this will help
  to get you in the air.  Best of luck!
