Hi guys,

My host node has switched from Waffle to Minix and now I get those
one line confirmation messages back for every netmail I send. They
look like this:

uuxqt cmd (rmail root) status (exit 0, signal 0)

My host says that I should create  a file that looks like this:

  U boinger myamy
  F D.myamyB029j
  I D.myamyB029j
  N
  C rmail comsat.hacktic.nl!Marcel

I've only gotten AVM to create files looking like this.

  U boinger myamy
  F D.myamyB029j
  I D.myamyB029j
  C rmail comsat.hacktic.nl!Marcel

Before I whip out Lattice C to make a NoCFM program that will
add the N lines to all the X.* files, I would like to know if
there is a simpler way to do this.  I've checked the man file
for DMail and SendMail and RMail  but could not find a option
to do it. Anybody out there know?  Or had I just better start
programming NoCFM... :-)

Assuming you mean tar from Dish disk 445 ...

I noticed two problems.  In the file utime.c, the function should be:


int utime(char *filename, time_t unixtime[2])
{
    struct DateStamp dateStamp;

    return(utime_from_stamp(filename, seconds2AmiTime(unixtime[1],
			    			     &dateStamp)));
}

(the original has misplaced parenthesis)

Also, I changed its attempt to replace the standard SAS library mkdir()
into calls on a routine amkdir().  (This tar has a routine called mkdir() 
that takes two arguments.)  You'll note in extract.c the way they did it
leads to an incorrect test which can cause directories not to be made.

 After these changes, it works fine under 2.04.

    I use WShell and CNX: for remote access, and I can't use filename
    completion there either. FComp only intercepts input from the real

I don't know, but you can BMS it from my site oberon.dinoco.de. The

No, ami routes mail exactly like mail, so you just have to wait for the

I have seen these problems to, with older versions of tar and gnutar. I am
currently using gnutar version 1.10, and that version seems to work fine.
Version 1.09 had problems, though.

I found gnutar version 1.10 on a mirror of the amiga.physik.unizh.ch ftp-
server, so that version should be widely available.

(I REALLY hope so -- I'm running out of HD space for my ARCHIVES: partition,

Feeding control messages into a special uunews:Control newsgroup would
be pretty easy. Acting on them, a good deal more difficult. Without an
active file, Cancel is not worth the investment it requires (to act on,
that is).

It DOES check the path header (uucp:src/news/forwardnews.c, ForwardArticle()
is called from rnews) before it decides to retransmit an article. I believe
that was added in 1.08.

Correct. Uses a lot of disk space though. And memory when expire comes around.
Depending on how many articles one keeps.

I don't believe the graph is acyclic (as I've indicated above), but you are
completely correct regarding the tree nature of the implementation.

I've been feeding other sites using AmigaUUCP for over a year now. And while
from time to time, I miss some of the features of C-News, I've never missed
the resource. I've had that "hiccup" you mention happen only once.

    Yeah, my particular setup depends on the presence of WShell's CNX:
    device.

    Anyway, here's my uulib:passwd entry:

        jbickers,password,1,0,(John Bickers),ram:,execute uucp:gettycnx

    The file uucp:gettycnx is an AmigaDOS script:

        newwsh QUIET CNX: CMD uucp:config-cnx
        watchcd
        "if (exists('uulib:remoteon')) then 'reboot QUIET'; exit 0"

    The file uucp:config-cnx is an ARexx script:

        /* Configure a remote WShell */
            'cls'
            'noreq'
            'alias endcli = exit'
            'alias lha  = "lha -Qa"'
            'alias rn   = "tnews -re0"'
            'alias v    = less'
            'alias e    = se'
            'alias ed   = se'
            'alias call = "echo CALL?"'
            'set editor se'
            'set maileditor se'
            'echo 1 > uulib:remoteon'
            'status full'

    The "exit" command is another ARexx script:

        /* ARexx script to terminate a remote shell session */
            'del uulib:remoteon quiet'
            'alias endcli'
            'endcli'

            exit 0

    Finally, watchcd is a program that exits when it detects carrier
    has been dropped, and reboot is a program that reboots the
    machine. Note that I use a file called "uulib:remoteon" to tell if
    the user disconnected normally or not. If not (eg: a program
    crashed, or put up a requester I can't get at) the machine is
    rebooted, ready for the next call.

The Fish Disk version had a set of patches for the source that I applied and
it seemed to fix the guru problems I was having with tar. Several people asked

At overload, BMS:PUB/BMS103/ contains the sources for 1.16.02 BMS. I've also
got (most of) it here at adastra. By the time you read this, probably all of
it will be here....(for some reason, Matt didn't compress it, so it is a
directory of the individual files).

The enforcer hit exists in all versions of BMS that I've used. I *KNOW* that
BMS is hitting a memory-link somewhere. I can run for several days with no
problems if I remove the BMS'es from my crontab. With BMS present, I'm lucky
to get to two days (81000005 Alert).

According to docs, it should be UUX that adds the Z line. In my case it doesn't.
Maybe this is because SendMail doesn't tell it to.  Anyway, my host also told me
that news batches should also have this Z line. UUCP 1.16 news batches don't. If
I'm not mistaking SendMail has nothing to do with this.  So it must be UUX after
all. Anyway. I've got it patched over here using NoCFM, so the urgency for me is
over.

Which version of GRn are you using? You need to be using AT LEAST 1.16c for
it to properly understand hierarchical directories.

If you are using 1.16c, or above, and this is still happening, it means that
you have "garbage" in UUNews:. That is, you have files/directories named
"something" other than in.coming or out.going with periods in them. GRn
auto-detects whether flat or hierarchical is being used based on the directory
names in UUNews:.

If you assert that neither of the above is true, then do a "LIST UUNEWS:" and
post/email-me the output.
