Keywords: UUCP TCP/IP HP

Some weeks ago, I was searching a solution for the problem UUCP over
TCP/IP for HP9000/835 machines (HP-UX7.0).
This feature is NOT supported by HP.    :-(
I have some "older" UNIX-systems, so I have to connect them with
UUCP.
I'm not a UNIX expert! Now, I work 7 months with UNIX.

This is my solution (without a hack within any source or binary):
Works only with uucp, not with cu. I have rlogin for this.

- Make a null-modem connection between two serial lines on the same 
  computer. (I know, there could be no serial ports free)
  Look to "Managing uucp and Usenet", or your Manuals for the pin
  connections.
  On my machine this are tty0p2 outgoing, tty0p1 incomming.
  On tty0p1 runs a getty with 19200 baud.

- Make a login for uucp over tcp/ip with a shell named rluucp

	(on one line!)
  	rluucp:VSGqAPG6FsJkU:7:3:remote uucp:/usr/spool/uucppublic:
	/usr/lib/uucp/rluucp

- And here the shellscript:

	#! /bin/sh
	#
	# Hack for tcpip over uucp
	#
	# HP9000/835 does not support this directly!
	#
	#

	echo "rlogin_machine: \c"
	read RLOGIN_MACHINE
	rlogin $RLOGIN_MACHINE -8

- The Systems file looks like this:

	(on one line!)
  	<othermachine> Any tcpiphack,f 19200 - "" \r\d\r\d\r 
	ogin:-BREAK-ogin: rluucp assword: <rluucppasswd> achine: 
	<othermachine> ogin: <loginname> assword: <uucppassword>

- The Devices file looks like this:

  	tcpiphack tty0p2 - 19200 direct

I also tried it with telnet, but I think thats not very secure.

Are there some problems with this solution, I don't know?

Regards

Daniel
