Re: anyone tried to build UUCP (Taylor) and smail ?

i tried building "UUCP 1.06.1". it worked out of the box - after ./configure
i just added `#define HAVE_SOCKET 1"` to config.h and did "mount -b
/dev/serial2 \\\\.\\com2" in bash. my mount table (relevant part -
everything else is mounted as binary) looks now like this:

[chuck@HYSTERIA]mount|sort|grep serial
\\.\com1         /dev/serial1        native      no-mixed,text=binary
\\.\com2         /dev/serial2        native      no-mixed,text=binary
\\.\com3         /dev/serial3        native      no-mixed,text=binary
\\.\com4         /dev/serial4        native      no-mixed,text=binary

the only slight problem i'm having with it, is that the first packet is
always rejected. the session, however, goes on. it looks like this
(/usr/spool/uucp/Log):

Protocol 'g' packets: sent 2, resent 1, received 1
Errors: header 0, checksum 0, order 0, remote rejects 1

also (/usr/spool/uucp/Debug):

Handshake successful (protocol 'g' sending packet/window 1024/7 receiving
1024/7)
DEBUG: floop: No work for master
DEBUG: fgsendcmd: Sending command "H"
DEBUG: fgsenddata: Sending packet 1 (32 bytes)

DEBUG: floop: Waiting for data

did you get similar results? did you look into the problem of rejects?

i'm also very interested in what do you plan to use as local mail delivery
agent. i tried sendmail, but it didn't compile. i tried smail - it compiled
ok, but refuses to work (could be configuration issue) - it just crashes.
