31
32See the following for additional information:
33Permissions:	an example of a Permissions file. (a default will be generated
34		during the installation procedure.
35uucp.1c		manual page for uucp
36uustat.1c:	uustat man page
37uulog.1c:	uulog man page
38uucleanup.1m:	man page for uucleanup
39uudemon.hour:	hourly demon
40uudemon.poll:	polling demon
41uudemon.admin:	to send messages about status to the administrator of uucp
42uudemon.cleanup:	cleanup demon
43
44Some useful shells:
45Uutry:		shell for debugging--starts uucico with debugging option
46Cvt:		shell to move C. and D. files from /usr/spool/uucp to proper
47		place for the new directory structure
48SetUp		shell that copies old system files to the
49		new places (L.sys etc)
50		NOTE - this will be
51		automatically run during installation
52
53Here are some pointers for converting to the new version:
54
551- There are some significant changes in L.sys  (new name = Systems) format.
56    a-	For direct lines, the first device specification is changed
57	from "term/xx" to "Direct"
58    b-	On time fields where the default wait time was specified,
59	the ',' must be changed to a ';'
60	In addition, the time has a slightly different meaning.
61	The retry algorithm is now an exponential backoff with initial
62	time (RETRYTIME in parms.h) and max retrytime (MAXRETRYTIME in
63	parms.h).  If the ;time field is specified, that will always
64	be the retry time.  If it is not given, the backoff will be used.
65   (SEE Basic Networking Utilities - release 1 # 307-165 for details)
66
672- The L-devices (new name=Devices) file must also be changed.
68    a-	All ACU lines must have "801" or the name of the modem
69	(for example, penril) added to the end of the line.
70    b-	All DIR lines must have "DIR" changed to "Direct"
71	and the work 'direct' added to the line.
72    See the comments in the Devices file delivered with the source.
73   (SEE Basic Networking Utilities - release 1 # 307-165 for details)
74
753- The uucico program no longer searches for a system to call, it
76   must be called with a -s option.  A new program, uusched,
77   does the search for work and calls remotes in random order,
78   by invoking uucico with -sSYSTEM option.  (see uudemon.hour)
79
80Cron entries should be put into crontab for the demons. For example
81
8239,9 * * * * /usr/bin/su uucp -c "/usr/lib/uucp/uudemon.hour" > /dev/null
8310 * * * * /usr/bin/su uucp -c "/usr/lib/uucp/uudemon.poll" > /dev/null
8445 23 * * * ulimit 5000; /usr/bin/su uucp -c "/usr/lib/uucp/uudemon.cleanup" > /dev/null
8548 10,14 * * 1-5 /usr/bin/su uucp -c "/usr/lib/uucp/uudemon.admin" > /dev/null
86
87Note - It is best to run these demons from the root cron file.
88At a minimum, the uudemon.cleanup entry must be started as root since it must
89invoke a 'ulimit' command.
90
91
92
93For building the system:
941- Carefully go through the parms.h file to set it up for your
95   environment.
96  (SEE Basic Networking Utilities - release 1 # 307-165 for details)
97
982- During installation, a Permissions file will be created
99   if one does not already exist.
100   It will also make the needed directories, create some files in
101   /usr/lib/uucp and install the uudemons.
102
1033- The demons also send mail to someone (default uucp).  Change as
104   desired.
105
106
107Other misc:
1080- SEE Basic Networking Utilities - release 1 # 307-165
109   to learn how to set up the Permissions file.
110   A default one will be created by make install.
