UUCP over TCP/IP works fine and is useful for many purposes. toncho/~ 1 apt-cache search uucp cu - call up another system grunt - Secure remote execution via UUCP or e-mail using GPG grunt-uucp - Handler for incoming UUCP requests modemu - Telnet services for communication programs rmail - MTA->UUCP remote mail handler tua - The UUCP Analyzer uucp - Unix to Unix Copy Program uucpsend - Alternative Frontend for UUCP Batching with INN uutraf - an UUCP traffic analyzer and cost estimator toncho/~ 1 apt-cache show grunt Package: grunt Priority: optional Section: utils Installed-Size: 36 Maintainer: John Goerzen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Architecture: all Version: 0.5.0-4 Depends: python (>= 2.3), python-gnupginterface Suggests: uucp, procmail | mailfilter Filename: pool/main/g/grunt/grunt_0.5.0-4_all.deb Size: 8784 MD5sum: a7383a25df3d75ec7f1eb065651c8323 Description: Secure remote execution via UUCP or e-mail using GPG GRUNT is a tool to let you execute commands remotely, offline. It will also let you copy files to a remote machine. . To do that, it will use GPG to digitally sign data that you send to your account on a remote machine. If the signature is valid and authorized, the remote will carry out the requested action or save the included file. Thus, it is similar to ssh, but for offline use. . Commands run remotely can have their stdin supplied, and when executed, the stdin will be sent to them -- just like uucp can.
