Uucp Installation; Uucp.h Modification - Sun Microsystems Sun Workstation 100U System Manager's Manual

UUCP Implementation Description
Security
• The L
.'11'
file should be owned by the
uucp
administrative login and have mode 0400 to
protect the phone numbers and login information for remote sites.
• The programs
uucp, uucico, uuz, uuzqt, uulofl,
and
uuclean
should be owned by the
uucp
administrative login, have the setuid bit set, and have only execute permissions.

UUCP Installation
It is assumed that the IOflin name used by a remote computer to call into a local computer is not
the same as the login name of a normal user or the uucp administrative login. However, several
remote computers may use the same login name. It is suggested that the installer follow the
convention of using the letter
"un
followed by the system name as the login name for each sys-
tem. For example, use login name
VU'fI
for the
u,'
system.
Each computer should be given a unique 'lI,tem name that is transmitted at the start of each
call. This name identifies the calling machine to the called machine. The
IOflin/,,,,tem
names
are used for security as described later in the VSERFILE section.
There are several source modifications that may be required before the system programs are
compiled. These relate to the directories, local system name, and attributes of the local environ-
ment.
The uucp system uses several directories:
sources (/usr/src/cmd/uucp) - This directory contains the
uucp
system source files.
program (/usr/lib/uucp) -This is the directory used for some of the executable system
programs and the system files. Some of the programs reside in
lur/bin.
spool (/usr/spool/uucp) - This is the
uucp
system spool directory.
xqtdir (/usr/lib/uucpf.XQTDIR) - This directory is used during execution of the
uuz
scripts.
The names in parentheses above are the default values for the directories. The italicized names
,ource" program, zqtdir,
and
,pool
are used in the following text to represent the appropriate
directory names.
There are two files that may require modification, namely the
Makefile
file and the
uucp."
file.
In addition, the
uuzqt.
c program may be modified as indicated in the section entitled
Security,
above. The following sections describe the modifications.
9.1.
uucp.h Modification
Several manifests in uucp.h may need modification for the local system environment:
UNAME should be defined if the "uname" function is available.

library routine "dialout" is available.
should be defined if the
