I have it running here between a Magnum3000 and an RC3240 which are both
runing RISC/os 4.52

The magnum is called bill, the 3240 ben. They both are set up like :-

/etc/services

uucp            540/tcp         uucpd           # uucp daemon

/etc/inetd.conf

uucpd   stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/etc/uucpd          uucpd

/usr/lib/uucp/Devices

TCP UNIX 0 Any TCP ""

/usr/lib/uucp/Permissions

LOGNAME=nuucp

/etc/passwd

nuucp:youguess:10:10:0000-uucp(0000):/usr/spool/uucppublic:/usr/lib/uucp/uucico

None of these entries differs from what is shipped, except for the Devices
entry is un-commented and the addition of an nuucp passwd.

On bill, the following /usr/lib/uucp/Systems entry was added

ben Any TCP - - in:--in: nuucp word: youguess

On ben, the following /usr/lib/uucp/Systems entry was added

bill Any TCP - - in:--in: nuucp word: youguess

Here is the output I get from Uutry. ( Note the two FAIL returns from name
are because I have no MACHINE entries in the Permissions file ):-
