Hello,

Is it possible to configure UUCP (from OSR5 or Unixware) to connect over
a ssh connection?


Somebody besides me an JP that's still using uucp :-).

You can certainly use ssh port forwarding to do this. Every time
I have to do something like this I have to RTFM a bit to remember
how it's done.

The UUCP documentation is not updated in OSR6. There are some changes
while reading the release notes.

It's been at least 10 year since I used SCO's uucp. As JP said,
get and install Taylor uucp to replace SCO's (you still need to
have the Devices file correct to get dial-in/dial-out working
properly on SCO as the lines in Devices need to agree with the
lines in the /etc/inittab file).


The easiest way to handle things like this is often to use VPN
appliances like the LinkSys BEFVP41.
Ok, but I prefer Shiva vpn boxes

Whatever works for you. I've never used Shiva, and don't know
anything about them.

difference between having our arms in our own possession and under our own
direction, and having them under the management of Congress? If our defense
be the real object of having those arms, in whose hands can they be trusted
with more propriety, or equal safety to us, as in our own hands?''
