Using !NewsBase with Taylor UUCP -------------------------------- Last updated: 13-Nov-1994 This document describes a sample installation of Thomas Aeby's port of Taylor Uucp with Graham Allans NewsBase. It does not describe how to configure Taylor Uucp or NewsBase, the Authors of those programs have done a reasonable job at explaining their own programs. It consists of 4 sections, notably: - Setting up Taylor Uucp - Setting up !NewsBase - Adjusting your global setup - Transport specific implementation details - Miscellaneous stuff Of course, what you need is a mostly-configured version of Taylor Uucp (you should at least have had one succesfull poll), and the NewsBase archive. As you read this document, you probably have the latter. It is also recommended that you have a newsreader available, the only one available at the time of writing this document is !TTFN by Robert Orwin. The interface consists of a suite of transport programs for NewsBase, and two programs for local mail- and news delivery for Taylor uucp. Setting up Taylor Uucp ---------------------- Copy the files you find in !NewsBase.support.Taylor.bin into !Uucp.bin. Then create the directories !Uucp.Mail and !Uucp.News. Now edit the !Uucp.!Boot file. Add or alter the following setting: Set alias$rmail sendmail %%*0 Set alias$rnews lrnews %%*0 Set UUCP_MAILER /uucp/bin/sendmail Set UucpFS$/usr /<NewsDir$Dir>.UserHome set Uucp$MailDir <Uucp$Dir>.Mail set Uucp$NewsDir <Uucp$Dir>.News As you can see, we are going to use sendmail. When you have understood this configuration, and would rather like to use smail, go ahead. The next thing to do is to configure sendmail. Setup sendmail as described in the Taylor Uucp documentation, but for local mail delivery use lmail. My !Uucp.config.sendmail.mailconf looks like this: --- START --- # mail configuration file for 'sendmail' # my host is called fasel, my neighbour site I exchange mail with is # called flinx. # note that sendmail picks the first matching rule. # mail to my local host goes through a local mail delivery program. fasel!* lmail %0 < %f *@fasel lmail %0 < %f *@fasel.* lmail %0 < %f #mail to any UUCP host goes through uux transport *!* uux -r - %0!rmail (%1) < %f # every address that does contain an '@' is sent to flinx *@* uux -r - flinx!rmail (%t) < %f # all the mail that arrives here must be local * lmail %0 < %f --- END --- Now its time to do some testing. The directory !NewsBase.support.Taylor.\ csrc.Test contains a few files, which are intended to help with testing the installation. You have to Filer_Boot !NewsDir (as supplied with NewsBase), and !Uucp with the new !Boot file. Then take a look at /etc/passwd to see what users are valid at your site. At least the accounts postmaster and root should be in there. Now, with !NewsBase.support.Taylor.csrc as the currently selected directory, try lmail postmaster < Test.Mail The testmail should then appear in !Uucp.Mail.postmaster, with ^A as its first char. If not, check wether Uucp$MailDir is set up to point to <Uucp$Dir>.Mail, and wether !Uucp.bin is in the Run$Path. If this was succesful, then try rmail root < Test.Mail The testmail should now appear in !Uucp.Mail.postmaster. If this did not work, then wear a happy smile and look at your !Uucp.config.send\ mail.mailconf file. Have you replaced all ocurrences of 'fasel' in the above example with your own sitename, and all occurrences of 'flinx' with the name of your mailhost? If yes, then have fun while finding out what's wrong. If everything went well so far, we can now test the news unbatching. From !NewsBase.support.Taylor.csrc type lrnews < Test.Batch1 a newsbatch with a funny name consisting only of numbers should appear in !Uucp.News now. If not, check the setting of Uucp$NewsDir. If this went well, try these next tests: lrnews < Test.Batch2 lrnews < Test.Batch3 If this failed, check wether you have compress and gzip on your system. Batch2 needs compress, Batch3 needs gzip. If you do not have one of them, remove the corresponding *unbatch file from !Uucp.bin, or get the program. Now for the final test: lrnews < Test.Batch4 This is supposed to fail! Have a look at the batch to see why. If you got here without major problems, then we can go on with the next section: Setting up !NewsBase -------------------- Setting up NewsBase is a lot easier than Uucp. First install NewsBase and NewsDir as detailed in the docs. Ensure that the !Uucp application has been seen, then start NewsBase. Select setup from the NewsBase iconbar menu, and set up host parameters. With a bit of luck, NewsBase should have recognized that you are running Taylor Uucp on your system and everything (except for the Org name) should already be set to the correct values. If it is not, select taylor from the transport menu, and click 'Init'. If the values still are not correct, re-check your Taylor installation, because it should provide all the necessary information. If you are not switching from !ReadNews, and thus have no !ReadNews Newsdir to convert, you will have no newsgroups by now. You can add newsgroups as detailed in NewsBases docs. Now that should have been it. To do some testing you need TTFN. Before you start TTFN, load !TTFN.Resources.Messages into an editor and comment the line "data.newsgate: mail2news@news.demon.co.uk". If you don't, news articles will be sent via mail to demon. Save the Messages file, then start TTFN. Just for the sake of testing, post an article to the newsgroup named newsbase.test. After a short while it should appear on newsbase.test. Now create a newsgroup alt.test (or whatever your nearest test group is), and post an article there. Open a taskwindow and type uustat. It should reply with something like the following: flinxN004d site user 09-19 18:36 Executing rnews (sending 516 bytes) It did? Great. Now try a Mail. First, create a new user from the TTFN user menu. That new user should be you. Now write him a mail. After a short while, that mail should appear in a folder named EMail.user. uustat should show no new entries so far. If it does, your sendmail configuration file needs some more polishing. If it does not, try sending a mail to an imaginary user at some imaginary remote site. uustat should now show one more entry, that should look like this: flinxN004g site user 09-19 18:41 Executing rmail nobody@nohost.nodomain (sending 522 bytes) If it does, then your configuration of NewsBase is complete, and you can go to the next section: Adjusting your global setup --------------------------- This is quite easy. Create one directory under !NewsDir.UserHome for each user in /etc/passwd that has his home in /usr. Then change your boot sequence so that !NewsDir is Filer_Boot'ed _before_ !Uucp. This is important as UucpFs$/usr is set relative to NewsDir$Dir. !Uucp, in turn, must have been seen by the filer before you start !NewsBase.That was about it. Transport specific implementation details. ------------------------------------------ 1. The sendnews program of the Taylor transport code calls an obey script named DoPost. As distributed, DoPost created uncompressed batches for the outgoing news. There are 2 other obey scripts, one is called NormPost, the other CompPost. Guess what, if you copy CompPost to DoPost, you will have your outgoing news compressed and prefixed with a proper unbatch header. However, you should call !Newsbase.\ transports.taylor.config to do that, as long as Graham does not call it from NewsBase. "Config -c" installs compressed batching, whereas "config -u" provides for uncompressed batches. If you want other file compaction programs than compress, look into CompPost, there are some hints on how to change to gzip. If you copy NormPost to DoPost, then the original state is restored, i.e. uncompressed batches. The sendmail program calls the DoMail obey script. 2. As uucp does not have a global mechanism for requesting newsgroups from the newsfeed, as, for example, NNTP has, I have chosen a different way to implement the backup groups file. A File named "active" is kept within the NewsBase$TaylorConfig directory, and addgroup and rmgroup act on this file. It is recommended that when you write an interface to, for example, gup, you update <NewsBase$TaylorCOnfig>.active instead of <NewsDir$Dir>.NewsBase.groups. mkgroups will copy this active file to the ...groups file. If the active file is not present, but the groups file is, then mkgroups will copy the groups file to the active file. If neither is present, it will create an empty active file. 3. Adduser/deluser/moduser also modify the /etc/passwd file, as certain programs accompagnying Taylor uucp need the users there. 4. sendnews and sendmail set the uucp_uid to the value that corresponds to the user that is passed to them via the -u parameter. This allows for different users running clients to newsbase at the same time. If no parameter is passed with -u, then the sender of the message is taken from the message headers From: line, otherwise it is assumed that the full adress of the sender is the value passed with -u and "@" + the value of NewsBase$MailName appended. 5. sethost and setremote take their values from the uucp setup, detect looks for uucp$dir. Miscellaneous stuff ------------------- What is there left to say... just a trick for Taylor Uucp, and other stuff that might be interesting. 1. As uucico needs a sh*tload of memory, and calling uuxqt from uucico would need even more, I have written two little obey scripts. One is called Spoll, and forces a single tasking poll, the other is called Mpoll, that polls as appropriate. --- START --- | Single tasking poll | usage: spoll [uucico-options] system Set OldOpts <UUCP_OPTIONS> Set UUCP_OPTIONS wc wimpslot 768K 768K uucico -q -s %*0 if "<sys$returncode>" = "0" then uuxqt Set UUCP_OPTIONS <OldOpts> Unset OldOpts --- NEXT --- | Multi tasking poll | usage: mpoll [uucico-options] system wimpslot 768K 768K uucico -q -s %*0 if "<sys$returncode>" = "0" then uuxqt --- END--- Well, they're small but handy. 2. Be sure to read the documentation on lmail in the file doc.lmail. It supports forward files, which may come handy under certain circum- stances. There is also a file called doc.lrnews, this just describes how to add other unbatching methods to lrnews. 3. The C sources for lmail and lrnews can be found in !NewsBase.support.Taylor.csrc. Both lrnews and lmail were written rather fast, so please don't judge my general coding from those programs. The transport programs I wrote in basic (eventhough my basic knowledge is quite thin), because I think someone may want to fiddle with them. 4. If you have any problems with this document or the Taylor Uucp transport programs or lmail or lrnews, feel free to contact me about them. My EMail adress is: gunnar@fasel.robin.de (Gunnar Z�tl) Of course, fasel.robin.de is an Acorn RISC OS machine running Taylor Uucp and NewsBase, but you will already have guessed that ;-) 5. Legalities: Everything I wrote is mine. You may distribute it freely as long as you do not remove my name from it. 'nuff said.
