Proble in using the command 'cu' to connect to anoth system
 

I am using fedora core linux. The kernel version is 2.6.11-1.1369_FC4.
.....
I have define a host 'omcr' in the '/etc/hosts' file as follows:
The omcr host has SCO Open Server Operating System.
......
192.9.200.1 omcr

...
I want to use the command 'cu' to connect to that system.
For this I have datafilled the following files:
..........
file: /etc/uucp/sys
system omcr
port type tcp
#port service 540
call-login xyz
call-password xyz123
chat "\c" asasas asasasas ogin: \L word: \P
time any

---------------
But when I run the following command I get some error.
$ cu -d omcr
cu: fconn_open: Opening port system omcr port (default speed)
Connected.
cu: fconn_write: Writing 1 "\r"
cu: fconn_write: Writing 1 "\r"
cu: Got SIGPIPE signal
cu: write: Broken pipe
cu: Exit status 0
cu: fconn_close: Closing connection
Disconnected.
$
--------- My question is why the "\r" is coming when there is no "\r" in the chat script in the /etc/uucp/sys file?

Hi,

this is the wrong forum to post this message in.
could you tell us why you posted here? is there some way we can make it clearer that this forum is not for general linux questions? did you just pick the first one in the list?

Thanks
 

hi.
thanks for the prompt reply. But simply saying that 'This is not the right place' is not enough. I will be glad if you can tell me where to go for this problem

Well, for starters, you could post in the Fedora forum OR maybe the networking forum (but not both for the same issue). Look around here:

http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/

to see what forum your question fits best in.

I've moved the thread, but an answer to the question Chris asked would be appreciated and will help us improve LQ.
