32 See the following for additional information:
33 Permissions: an example of a Permissions file. (a default will be generated
34 during the installation procedure.
35 uucp.1c manual page for uucp
36 uustat.1c: uustat man page
37 uulog.1c: uulog man page
38 uucleanup.1m: man page for uucleanup
39 uudemon.hour: hourly demon
40 uudemon.poll: polling demon
41 uudemon.admin: to send messages about status to the administrator of uucp
42 uudemon.cleanup: cleanup demon
45 Uutry: shell for debugging--starts uucico with debugging option
46 Cvt: shell to move C. and D. files from /usr/spool/uucp to proper
47 place for the new directory structure
48 SetUp shell that copies old system files to the
49 new places (L.sys etc)
51 automatically run during installation
53 Here are some pointers for converting to the new version:
55 1- There are some significant changes in L.sys (new name = Systems) format.
56 a- For direct lines, the first device specification is changed
57 from "term/xx" to "Direct"
58 b- On time fields where the default wait time was specified,
59 the ',' must be changed to a ';'
60 In addition, the time has a slightly different meaning.
61 The retry algorithm is now an exponential backoff with initial
62 time (RETRYTIME in parms.h) and max retrytime (MAXRETRYTIME in
63 parms.h). If the ;time field is specified, that will always
64 be the retry time. If it is not given, the backoff will be used.
65 (SEE Basic Networking Utilities - release 1 # 307-165 for details)
67 2- The L-devices (new name=Devices) file must also be changed.
68 a- All ACU lines must have "801" or the name of the modem
69 (for example, penril) added to the end of the line.
70 b- All DIR lines must have "DIR" changed to "Direct"
71 and the work 'direct' added to the line.
72 See the comments in the Devices file delivered with the source.
73 (SEE Basic Networking Utilities - release 1 # 307-165 for details)
75 3- The uucico program no longer searches for a system to call, it
76 must be called with a -s option. A new program, uusched,
77 does the search for work and calls remotes in random order,
78 by invoking uucico with -sSYSTEM option. (see uudemon.hour)
80 Cron entries should be put into crontab for the demons. For example
82 39,9 * * * * /usr/bin/su uucp -c "/usr/lib/uucp/uudemon.hour" > /dev/null
83 10 * * * * /usr/bin/su uucp -c "/usr/lib/uucp/uudemon.poll" > /dev/null
84 45 23 * * * ulimit 5000; /usr/bin/su uucp -c "/usr/lib/uucp/uudemon.cleanup" > /dev/null
85 48 10,14 * * 1-5 /usr/bin/su uucp -c "/usr/lib/uucp/uudemon.admin" > /dev/null
87 Note - It is best to run these demons from the root cron file.
88 At a minimum, the uudemon.cleanup entry must be started as root since it must
89 invoke a 'ulimit' command.
93 For building the system:
94 1- Carefully go through the parms.h file to set it up for your
96 (SEE Basic Networking Utilities - release 1 # 307-165 for details)
98 2- During installation, a Permissions file will be created
99 if one does not already exist.
100 It will also make the needed directories, create some files in
101 /usr/lib/uucp and install the uudemons.
103 3- The demons also send mail to someone (default uucp). Change as
108 0- SEE Basic Networking Utilities - release 1 # 307-165
109 to learn how to set up the Permissions file.
110 A default one will be created by make install.
