uucico; it replaces
uucico's -l option. It should be run from *getty or
inetd. The usage is uu_wrap or uu_wrap
username. In the second case it will not read login, directly
asking for password. It should work over serial links and both TLI
and BSD sockets if your libc isn't terminally broken. For TLI, add
`-iTLI' to options of uucico in uu_wrap.c.
After authentication but before uucico is fired up the
wrapper runs batchmail -f SYSTEM. System name is gotten
from UUCP sys file. Only Taylor UUCP sys and passwd file formats are
supported.
This program tries to achieve maximum effeciency during UUCP
transfers by first authenticating and only then running
batchmail. This way the other side will compress what
they have to send during the time our compression is in progress.
To install, edit config.h to suit your system and
make. Put uu_wrap where your daemons live
if you intend to use tcp_wrappers or just anywhere
otherwise. The program must have enough privs to read your UUCP
passwd file.
This program is not maintained since I no longer run any UUCP servers.
