UUCP compressed news is not necessary more economical. It might be cheaper in bits across the wire, but it cost the supplier disk space because the news must be compressed and bundled periodically - if the recipient stays off line for an extended period the back up can cause real problems.

To: UUPC/Extended mailing list Hi, in its immeasurable wisdom my provider decided to change its sitename in the Path: header. The change involved only a change for three characters from small char's to capitals. In this situation, my newsrun decided to send all batches back to the provider, because it thought that it hadn't seen them. It seems that the SYS file checking in news/sys.c indeed does a case-sensitive match on the sitename exclusions. My provider's newsadmin tells me that such hostnames should be case-insensitive and I am bound to believe him because the majority of the other UUCP connections didn't show this behaviour.

Does anyone agree with this? USENET was originally UUCP net based, and UUCP names are case sensitive. With the migration of USENET to being primarily TCP/IP based networks, which use case insenstive host names, the argument could be made. However, if they changed their path (and it matched their UUCP host) without changing their UUCP host name, I'd say this time their screwed up. -- Drew Derbyshire UUPC/extended e-mail: software@kew.com Telephone: 617-641-3452 To sign off from uupc-info, send the command "signoff uupc-info" in the body of a message to listserv@kew.com.

Apparently, after I use 1.12p, instead of merely batching the incoming news batches to the respective directories, in addition to it, it also batches to my local system spool directory "ztorrida" and my host "lugs".

This last statement doesn't make much sense. News flows through the local spool directory (UUXQT queue) to the local system and into the news directories. It doesn't go to both places at once. Check the flow into the local directory. I suspect it merely queues newsrun from rnews. This is normal to improve serialization on large systems (OS/2, NT) and reduce memory usage under DOS. The news is processed fully when the local queue runs. You're not saying what "lugs" actually puts into the path header. if it doesn't use "lugs" in the header, you need to add that as an exclusion as documented in the SYS file manual reference or reject all but local posts. > In addition, whenever, I try to post a news article, instead of > sending to the lugs spool directory, it sent to the ztorrida spool > directory instead.

Our system is a 32 line TBBS system using Tiger to transfer the mail. We have discovered, now that we have changed from Holonet to a small provider locally, that Tiger is extremely inefficient at transferring the mail over the phone lines. The call is long distance. I have a couple of questions before I try UUPC. 1) We plan to use the OS/2 32bit version on WARP Connect. The documentation is not clear on the following point. Does UUPC Extended have to translate the UNIX file names to DOS compatible filenames if one is using the HPFS file system? Tiger has to and it does this on the fly and that's where its performance suffers. It has to create 3 files for each transfer in addition to "munging" the file name. 2) Can UUPC act as a gateway. That is, I want it to forward all mail and news received to the TBBS system for our users. Our intention is to switch to AdeptXBBS in the near future, but until that can happen, we need to try something a little different to reduce costs. Thanks in advance.

That may be just because it's how UUCP works. Grab the UUPC/extended documents and read the appendix on how UUCP file transfers work in general ... the Call file, Execute file, and Data file are a UUCP protocol issue, so if Tiger is only creating these it's not its fault. If it generates more than three files total, then its got a problem and UUPC/extended will be more efficient. > 2) Can UUPC act as a gateway.

Yes, I just verified and it works fine. You need do set up a line in passwd like this: login:password:::Interactive Login:c:/:c:/os2you/os2you.exe -l %%%l Note the triple % sign.

As far as I know UUCP isn't intended to give away the com handle, but if you just try it the other way around (like done under UNIX) there shouldn't be problems. Just use OS2YOU with it's login procedure for the DialIn's and than - login depending - start uucico as "shell" (Parameters like discusses just this weeks with Fido-Mailbox). If I understood correctly, it might be possible to use this login procedure in two way's, were you a) use some kind of general uucp login with permissn's check by UUPC/extended (h/z) or by resolving the user from OS2YOU and then giving the handle to uupc with (w) user-autentication. Cant find the posting with the sample, but Drew told to use the parameters "-h" and "-z" (haven't yet printed the total PS-docs, can't explain them).

To: UUPC/Extended mailing list Salute Fernando, sorry, please forget my last mail. Pages 55ff of the docs are just comming out of the printer. Table 7 shows something like the following as shell entry in Passwd file: /apps/os2you/os2you.exe com2 with the optional parameters: %% == %-sign %1 == file handle %p == port name %s == post speed %u == user id %w == user id So you 'only' have to make sure, that OS2YOU picks up the open port, but this will be documented in os2you.inf (or similar).

As Kai Uwe noted, you need %%%L (os2you wants a literal percent sign, the first two get collapsed into one literal). -- Drew Derbyshire UUPC/extended e-mail: software@kew.com Telephone: 617-641-3452 To sign off from uupc-info, send the command "signoff uupc-info" in the body of a message to listserv@kew.com.
