You have them inverted. The 'g' protocol is the original uucp protocol. 'G'
|
|
is a slightly modified incarnation.
|
|
|
|
The 'g' protocol specification is NOT limited to 64 byte packets. A modern
|
|
implementation, e.g., Taylor, supports 512, 1024, etc. Some poorly written
|
|
uucp packages may not support packets > 64.
|
|
|
|
If one is running Taylor UUCP, the packet sizes and number of windows are
|
|
both configurable.

While we're talking of security holes, here's another one that
|
|
has been around for some time. The cause of the problem is the
|
|
same as above, I suppose. In some smail binaries, you can create
|
|
files in arbitrary directories by putting file names like
|
|
/etc/foobar in your .forward file. This is because of the
|
|
peculiar way in which smail does its permission checking.
|
|
|
|
When compiled with the HAVE_SETREUID option, smail drops
|
|
root privilege while delivering to a file. When compiled
|
|
without this option, as a number of smail binaries have been,
|
|
the approach is somewhat more crude. By default, smail
|
|
checks only if the file exists and is writable by the user
|
|
that requested delivery. If the file doesn't exist, it is
|
|
created right away.
|
|
|
|
This behavior can be `improved' by adding the `check_path'
|
|
attribute to the file transport defintion in
|
|
/usr/lib/smail/transports. Incidentally, this flag is
|
|
turned off by default.

I do this all the time on my Linux box. The procedure that I use is as follows:
|
|
|
|
1. Write the settings that you wish to use for people logging in into the
|
|
modem's NV-RAM (i.e. set up the modem and type AT&W)
|
|
|
|
2. Set up the init string in your communications package to set the
|
|
correct values when you are dialing out.
|
|
|
|
I know that minicom resets the modem from the NVRAM after you lexit it,
|
|
and would assume that others do as well. If not, you can simply type
|
|
ATZ before you exit.
|
|
|
|
Hope this helps!!!

There appears to be a bug in the latest v3.0 PC/TCP Telnet (Windows

version) as well as the DOS telnet. I'm having a similar problem
|
|
with the Windows telnet acting oddly with Informix 4GL screens and
|

with the DOS telnet some of the line drawing stuff is not working
|
|
right. I know the problem is not in the Unix side because use of
|
|
other client telnets work/display correctly.
|
|
|
|
I'm in the process of dealing with FTP support to resolve the
|
|
problem, you should probably also contact FTP support.

Boy, one thing I sure missed. The aha1542 driver is used for what you
|
|
are trying to do. The driver only appeats to support port addresses
|
|
0x330 and 0x340. That is likely why it is not working. You will have
|
|
to change your 1542's address.

Hello,

I last night I tried out tcpdump, it's a nice thing !

Hi everyone,

many thanks for all of you who replied by eMail or in this group. Meanwhile,
|
|
after some more excessive testing, I'm up and running with the two above!!!
|
|

The clue was the "dial"-command. Richard J Wyble <rwyble@iii.net> wrote to

I did the last one changing the dial-command into
|
|
send ATDT1613075\r
|
|
|
|
and it connected!
|
|
|
|
Another error was waiting for the wrong prompt afterwards. I recovered this one
|
|
by using the "debug" mode. It can be involved through
|
|
|
|
echo on
|
|
|
|
in the script file. After this, all output from the modem is echoed.
|
|
|
|
Once again, many thanks,

You can do dial on demand now, with pty's and a bit of user mode code
|

hacking. Just nobody has written it.

I consider the way SCO handles it to be totally broken - there are ways to

handle modems without the need to change the modem settings every time
|
|
(which will invariably lead to a modem with wrong settings one day...).
|
|
|
|
Take a look at "mgetty+sendfax"; the getty in that package knows about
|
|
modems and handles RING and CONNECT very well, so no need to change modem
|
|
settings. When dialing out, mgetty sees the uucp Lock file, and gives away
|
|
the modem line (so cu, uucico, ... can use it without any interference
|
|
from the getty), exactly as SCO's uugetty does it.
|
|
|
|
mgetty can be found on all sunsite.unc.edu mirrors in
|
|
/pub/Linux/system/Serial/mgetty+sendfax-0.21.tar.gz

The ICS2595 support has a few problems. The following is added to
|
|
that entry in the current version of README.S3:
|
|
|
|
Clockchip support is only preliminary and
|
|
on some machines problems with the first
|
|
mode after startup of XF86_S3 or after
|
|
switching back from VT have been seen;
|
|
switching to next mode with CTRL+ALT+'+'
|
|
and back seems to solve this problem
|
|
|
|
Note: the latest versions of README files can be found in the doc/ directory
|
|
on most XFree86 3.1 ftp sites.

Close, but not quite. It is clear that innd is trying to resolv localhosts,
|
|
not localhost. The original poster clearly made a typo somewhere in his
|
|
configuration files.

Or if you have a card that is supported and you want >8bit
