For all its widespread use, UUCP is one of the most difficult UNIX utilities to master. Poor documentation, cryptic messages, and differences between various implementations make setting up UUCP links a nightmare for many a system administrator.This handbook is meant for system administrators who want to install and manage the UUCP and Usenet software. It covers HoneyDanBer UUCP as well as standard Version 2 UUCP, with special notes on Xenix. As one reader noted over the Net, "Don't even TRY to install UUCP without it!"Topics covered in Managing UUCP include: How UUCP works. RS-232 cabling. Talking with modems. Setting up a UUCP link. Security considerations. UUCP administration. Introduction to Usenet. Installing Netnews. Administering Netnews. The tenth edition of this classic work has been revised and expanded to include descriptions of: How to use NNTP (Network News Transfer Protocol) to transfer Usenet news over TCP/IP and other high-speed networks. How to get DOS versions of UUCP. How to set up DOS-based laptop computers as traveling UUCP nodes. How the UUCP 'g' protocol works.
