EECS Lines: 32 interpreting your log is complicated by the fact that milo.p and milo are the same machine; the logs for both sides of the transaction are merged into the same file. splitting by pid into 2 logs simplifies things. the milo.p log: (you skipped the SUCCEEDED (call to milo) line ...) eric milo.p (3/19-15:44-3725) OK (startup) initial handshake ok. eric milo.p (3/19-15:44-3725) REQUEST (S /etc/group /tmp/milogrp eric) try to send milo.p!/etc/group -> milo!/tmp/milogrp eric milo.p (3/19-15:45-3725) REQUESTED (CY) milo says it worked. eric milo.p (3/19-15:45-3725) OK (conversation complete) hangup handshake ok. the milo log: uucp milo (3/19-15:44-3150) /usr/spool/uucp/LCK.SQ (CAN'T LOCK) this is an artifact of milo.p calling itself (but doesn't matter since no one uses private sequence numbers anyway.) uucp milo (3/19-15:44-3150) OK (startup) initial handshake ok. uucp milo (3/19-15:44-3150) REQUESTED (S /etc/group /tmp/milogrp eric) try to receive milo!/tmp/milogrp <- milo.p!/etc/group eric milo (3/19-15:44-3150) COPY (SUCCEEDED) success. eric milo (3/19-15:45-3150) OK (conversation complete) hangup handshake ok. concerning your comment The source code is a rather obscure source of info. we will probably never agree on this point. peter honeyman
