All, I'm setting up a uucp site 'tektronix'. When I send e-mail, I'm seeing
this error:
ASSERT ERROR (uux) pid: 235 (3/24-00:09) CAN'T OPEN D.tektronX00D0 (0)
Something seems to be trimming the hostname to seven chars. If I do:
# hostname
tektronix
Thanks, Warren

Answer: 4.3BSD uucp allows hostnames of 14 chars, but trims down to 7
for the dirnames in /usr/spool/uucp, presumably for HDB compatibility.
But uux, mail, news work with hostnames > 7 chars.
Cheers, Warren
