uucp hangs on the machine I am trying to send to.

remote machine: SCO OpenServer 5.0.6 with rs506a installed

When I watch uucp I see the remote machine gets as far as
Shere=remote_machine_name
and then it just times out. I have checked ownership, permissions on files and directories. I haven't a clue what is causing this. Would anyone have any ideas on what I can try next?

Thanks

Increase the debug level so that it can tell you what happened.

Check that you haven't set flow control on the port.

Thanks Tony:
I should have learned a long time ago to NEVER take anything for granted with Unix. This problem was given to me a few weeks ago and I made a few assumptions...Mistake!
The problem ended up just being a password issue, nuucp on the remote machine was not passworded and I thought it was. Once I set the password, away it went.

Thanks for just making me think about things again
