UUCP on HP-UX 11.11 with Linux

I try to use UUCP on HP-UX 11.11 with Linux, and when I try to use the command '/usr/lbin/uucp/uucico -r1 -s server -x9', the error appears that

mchFind called (server)
list (rmail) num = 1
list (/var/spool/uucppublic) num = 1
list (/var/spool/uucppublic) num = 1

I try to use UUCP over TCP, and my configuration on Linux was completely correct.

Re: UUCP on HP-UX 11.11 with Linux

Well, I imagine this error would occur if you had no device or an incorrect device in the "Devices" file or that the device is not specified in th "Systems" file as the one to use.

Been a long time since I've used uucp though.

Re: UUCP on HP-UX 11.11 with Linux

I've already checked my Devices file and my Systems files; but I still got the same error.

Device Files:
TCP - - - TCP

System Files:
server Any TCP - - ogin: root ssword: redhat

Are there anything wrong with these two files?

Re: UUCP on HP-UX 11.11 with Linux

I think they are OK. The one thing that bothers me though is that you are attempting to login as root. I would first check that it is actually possible to log in as root. I would try a proper "uucp" login using the uucp account.

The same problem with UUCP but on HP-UX v.11.23 with Linux.
