The L.,g, file contains the phone numbers and login sequences required to establish a con-
nection with a uucp daemon on another machine. Edit /u,r/li6/uucp/
L.'I/',
adding a line of
the following form for each site you want to talk to:
their_ho,t Any
device
baud phone# login:-EOT-Iogin: uuep 88wol'd: pa88
The first field is the uucp hostname of the other site, the second indicates when their host
may be called, the third field specifies how their host is connected (through an ACU, a
hardwired line, etc.), then comes the baud rate of the line, phone number to use in connect-
ing through an auto-call unit, and finally a login sequence. The phone number may contain
common abbreviations which are defined in the L-dialcode, file. The device specification
(third field) should refer to devices specified in the L-device, file. Note that the only
modem type currently supported by Sun Microsystems is the Ventel MD212 modem. Indi-
cating only "ACU" causes the uucp daemon, uucico, to search for any available auto-call
unit in L-device,. For example, our L.,g, file looks something like:
adiron Any ACUVENTEL 1200 762088310gin:-EOT-login: uucp ssword: secret
ucbvax Any,20 ACUVENTEL 1200 6728212% login:-EOT-Iogin: uucp ssword: almama
ucbarpa Any,20 ACUVENTEL 1200 6424351 login:-EOT-Iogin: uucp ssword: netnut
decvax Any ACUVENTEL 1200 6039941241 login:-EOT-Iogin: Ujedi ssword: cannon
For hardwired lines, your L.'I/' lines should contain the tty device name in the third and
fifth fields:
anyname Any ttyb 1200 ttyb login:-EOT-Iogin: uucp ssword: sunrise
5. Connect your (auto-dial/auto-answer) modem to ttya (the port labelled 'RS-232-A' on the
backpanel of your Sun Workstation) on your host machine.
6. Create the appropriate device for your modem with the following series of commands:
:/I:
ed /dev
*
mknod euaO e 12 128
.o~
. . . _ _ _
' *
ehmod 800 euaO
*
ehown uuep euaO ' *
~tya tt;ydO
;en
7. Edit / etc/ ttl/' to include an entry for ttl/dO (see ttl/'( 4». Insert the line: "13ttydO". Then
type the following to initialize everything properly:
:/I: k1u-l
1
8. Make sure your modem is hooked up properly by running tip with the phone number of a
known machine:
' *
tip 8423345
If you get a "dialing . . . connected" response, all is well. If you get any other response,
reconnect your modem.
9. As
a final test, run uucp with the debug option (-x), as follows:
6-16
' *
/u81'/lib/uuep/uueieo -1'1 -fuitename -x7
With the -x option, the higher the number, the more debugging output you get; 1, 4, and 7
are reasonable choices. If you get immense quantities of output from this command, every-
thing is fine; you can go on to edit the following files.
