L.sys - Sun Microsystems Sun Workstation 100U System Manager's Manual

UUOP Implementation Description
UUCP Installation
root, /
, /usr
allow any user to transfer files beginning with /
U",
but the :user with login
,oot
can transfer
any file. Note that any file that is to be transferred must,
be readable by anybody. The USER-
FILE
is normally set up as follows:
,myname /
, /usr/spool/uucppublic
, where
mllname
is the name of the current system. These lines allow any user on the current
machine to access any file (subject to the normal permissions on the file) for vueI' transfer,
whereas users on other machines can only access files in
/u,,/,pool/uueppu6lie ..
9.8. L.sys
Each entry in L.'II' represents one system that can be called by the local
uuep
programs. More
than one line may be present for a particular system. In this case, the additional lines represent
alternative communication paths that are tried in sequential order. The fields are described
below.
system name
The name of the remote system.
time This is a string that indicates the days-of-week and times-of-day when the system
should be called' (for example,
MoTuTh08~1730).
device
I
The day portion may be a list containing some of
Su Mo Tu
We
Tla Fr StI.
or it may be
M
lor any week-day or Anglor any day.
The time should be a range of times (for example, 0800-1230). If no time portion is
specified, any time of day is assumed to be okay for the call. Note that a time
~nge
that spans
0000
is permitted, for example, 0800-0600 means all times
are
ok other
than times between
6
and 8 am.
A time specification of "None" is often used for a passive system, that is, one which
cannot call the specified system. In this case the following fields may be omitted.
Note that the string "None" has no special significance, but is merely a string that is
not a correct time speCification.
Several day-time' specifications may be present, separated by a
I
character.
An optional subfield is available to indicate the minimum time (minutes) before a
retry following a failed attempt. The subfield separator is a ",". For example,
Any,9 means call any time but don't allow another call until at least 9 minutes after
tar ailure has occurred.
This fields either starts with A CU, or is the hardwired device to be used lor the call.
For the hardwired ca.-re, the last part of the special file name is used (ttyO, for
instance).
