Does anyone have any experience with UUCP on macOS or *BSD systems that
would be willing to help me figure something out?
I'm working on adding a macOS X system to my micro UUCP network and
running into some problems.
- uuto / uucp copy files from my non-root / non-(_)uucp user to the
UUCP spool. But the (demand based) ""call (pipe over SSH) is failing.
- running "uucico -r1 -s <remote system name> -f" as the (_)uucp user
(via sudo) works.
- I'm using the pipe port type and running things over an SSH connection.
- The (_)uucp user can ssh to the remote system as expected
without any problems or being prompted for a password. (Service
specific keys w/ forced command.)
I noticed that the following files weren't set UID or GID like they are
on Linux. But I don't know if that's a macOS and / or *BSD difference
when compared to Linux.
/usr/bin/uucp
/usr/bin/uuname
/usr/bin/uustat
/usr/bin/uux
/usr/sbin/uucico
/usr/sbin/uuxqt
Adding the set UID & GID bits allowed things to mostly work.
Aside: Getting the contemporary macOS so that I could edit the
(/usr/share/uucp/) sys & port files was a treat.
I figured that it was worth inquiring if anyone had any more experience
/ tips / gotchas before I go bending ~> breaking things even more.
Thank you.
