From: ssprunk@nyx.cs.du.edu (Stephen Sprunk) Subject: [FAQ] Serial logins, UUCP Date: Sat, 17 Apr 1993 19:20:14 GMT
I have installed SLS 0.99pl6 on my 386 and have been looking around in the
system to see what all it can do. I know you guys probably answer these
questions ten million times a day, but:
1) How can I set up Linux to access serial logins? I have a modem on
/dev/ttyS2 (/dev/modem). How do I set my machine up to automatically
let users login? I have the modem set for S0=1 and it will connect fine
with other modems, but it won't give a login prompt.
2) How do I get UUCP set up? I want to be able to receive news (10-15
groups) and mail on my box at home. I also want to be able to distribute
news and mail to friends running Linux in my area who don't have
connections like I do. I have an account at Denver Univ. I can dial
into to get stuff from using kermit, but how do I get stuff using UUCP
and (I hope) cron?
