(Both of us are "X" CBBS sysops) There have been MANY questions left for me on how to connect to this system via uucp to request files. Actually, the procedure is very simple. Just login as "bbsuucp" with no password. All of the directories used by this bbs have read privileges; therefore, you can request and receive any file or files that are available for downloading. You must remember the full path names of the files. Any file that is in the bbs directory has the path name of /usr/local/bbs/data/bbs/. Likewise, the unix directory has the path name of /usr/local/bbs/data/unix/. This is also true for each and every file directory on the system. You can get the directory name from the A(rea change) command while in the file section. You will recognize the name by the first field displayed on each and every line. Just add /usr/local/bbs/data/ to whatever is displayed. As an example, if you want the file, xbbs.cpio.Z, the full pathname is /usr/local/bbs/data/bbs/xbbs.cpio.Z. To get smail3.1 uucp from /usr/local/bbs/data/unix/smail31.cpio.Z here on my system. I have the patches up to patch 16 or so. If you have a file that you would like to send to this system for others to use, please send it to /usr/spool/uucppublic.
