CIRR.COM UUCP Support Taylor UUCP

Taylor UUCP is the third generation UUCP implementation. It was started in the December, 1991 as a ground up, Open Source, re-implementation of the UUCP software. It was written by Ian Taylor, and is available under the GNU general public license. Mailing list archives can be found at http://lists.cirr.com/taylor-uucp.

It is in common usage, being shipped with almost all the open source UNIX-like operating system's. This includes the various distributions of Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD and OpenBSD. It can also be installed on almost any of the commercial UNIX systems.

Below are the configuration files used by Taylor UUCP. They have been pre-configured for connecting with uucp.cirr.com. Links are also included to allow easy down-load of the files.

• config file

  The config file defines the parameters for the local host's configuration of Tayor UUCP. It defines such things as the local system's UUCP node name, the paths to the configuration files, the paths to the spool directories, and the paths to the log files.

  #
  # UUCP node name of the local host
  #	This is the entry for the CIRR.COM end of the UUCP connection.
  #	This string _must_ be changed to the name you provided 
  #	CIRR.COM as your UUCP node name.

• sys file

  The sys file defines the list of remote systems your UUCP software can call. It also limits which systems can call you.

• port file

  The port file defines the ports used to establish connections to remote systems.

  The Port tag provides the linkage between the port file and the sys file.

  # Two escape characters may appear in this file:
  #   - \D which means don't translate the phone #/token
  #   - \T translate the phone #/token using the Dialcodes file
  # Both refer to the phone number field in the Systems file (field 5)
  #   \D should always be used with entries in the Dialers file, since the
  # Dialers file can contain a \T to expand the number if necessary.
  #   \T should only be used with built-in functions that require expansion

• dial file

  The dial file defines how to dial a particular device to connect to a remote system.

  The dialer-sequence tag in the port file, and the dialer in the dial file provides the linkage between the port file and the dial file.

  The Dialers are described as chat scripts. Depending upon the compilation options used, dialers may also be external programs, but that is not described in the example.
