Miscellaneous config File Commands
----------------------------------

`nodename STRING'
`hostname STRING'
`uuname STRING'
     These keywords are equivalent.  They specify the UUCP name of the
     local host.  If there is no configuration file, an appropriate
     system function will be used to get the host name, if possible.

`spool STRING'
     Specify the spool directory.  The default is from `policy.h'.  This
     is where UUCP files are queued.  Status files and various sorts of
     temporary files are also stored in this directory and
     subdirectories of it.

`pubdir STRING'
     Specify the public directory.  The default is from `policy.h'.
     When a file is named using a leading `~/', it is taken from or to
     the public directory.  Each system may use a separate public
     directory by using the `pubdir' command in the system
     configuration file; see See Miscellaneous (sys).

`lockdir STRING'
     Specify the directory to place lock files in.  The default is from
     `policy.h'; see the information in that file.  Normally the lock
     directory should be set correctly in `policy.h', and not changed
     here.  However, changing the lock directory is sometimes useful for
     testing purposes.  This only affects lock files for devices and
     systems; it does not affect certain internal lock files which are
     stored in the spool directory (see Spool Lock Files.).

`unknown STRING ...'
     The STRING and subsequent arguments are treated as though they
     appeared in the system file (see sys File.).  They are used to
     apply to any unknown systems that may call in, probably to set
     file transfer permissions and the like.  If the `unknown' command
     is not used, unknown systems are not permitted to call in.

`strip-login BOOLEAN'
     If the argument is true, then, when `uucico' is doing its own login
     prompting with the `-e', `-l', or `-w' switches, it will strip the
     parity bit when it reads the login name and password.  Otherwise
     all eight bits will be used when checking the strings against the
     UUCP password file.  The default is true, since some other UUCP
     packages send parity bits with the login name and password, and few
     systems use eight bit characters in the password file.

`strip-proto BOOLEAN'
     If the argument is true, then `uucico' will strip the parity bit
     from incoming UUCP protocol commands.  Otherwise all eight bits
     will be used.  This only applies to commands which are not
     encapsulated in a link layer protocol.  The default is true, which
     should always be correct unless your UUCP system names use eight
     bit characters.

`max-uuxqts NUMBER'
     Specify the maximum number of `uuxqt' processes which may run at
     the same time.  Having several `uuxqt' processes running at once
     can significantly slow down a system, but, since `uuxqt' is
     automatically started by `uucico', it can happen quite easily.  The
     default for `max-uuxqts' is 0, which means that there is no limit.
     If HDB configuration files are being read and the code was compiled
     without `HAVE_TAYLOR_CONFIG', then, if the file `Maxuuxqts' in the
     configuration directory contains a readable number, it will be used
     as the value for `max-uuxqts'.

`run-uuxqt STRING or NUMBER'
     Specify when `uuxqt' should be run by `uucico'.  This may be a
     positive number, in which case `uucico' will start a `uuxqt'
     process whenever it receives the given number of execution files
     from the remote system, and, if necessary, at the end of the call.
     The argument may also be one of the strings `once', `percall', or
     `never'.  The string `once' means that `uucico' will start `uuxqt'
     once at the end of execution.  The string `percall' means that
     `uucico' will start `uuxqt' once per call that it makes (this is
     only different from `once' when `uucico' is invoked in a way that
     causes it to make multiple calls, such as when the `-r1' option is
     used without the `-s' option).  The string `never' means that
     `uucico' will never start `uuxqt', in which case `uuxqt' should be
     periodically run via some other mechanism.  The default depends
     upon which type of configuration files are being used; if
     `HAVE_TAYLOR_CONFIG' is used the default is `once', otherwise if
     `HAVE_HDB_CONFIG' is used the default is `percall', and otherwise,
     for `HAVE_V2_CONFIG', the default is `10'.

`timetable STRING STRING'
     The `timetable' defines a timetable that may be used in
     subsequently appearing time strings; see See Time Strings.
     The first string names the timetable entry; the second is a time
     string.

     The following `timetable' commands are predefined.  The NonPeak
     timetable is included for compatibility.  It originally described
     the offpeak hours of Tymnet and Telenet, but both have since
     changed their schedules.

          timetable Evening Wk1705-0755,Sa,Su
          timetable Night Wk2305-0755,Sa,Su2305-1655
          timetable NonPeak Wk1805-0655,Sa,Su

     If this command does not appear, then, obviously, no additional
     timetables will be defined.

`v2-files BOOLEAN'
     If the code was compiled to be able to read V2 configuration
     files, a false argument to this command will prevent them from
     being read.  This can be useful while testing.  The default is
     true.

`hdb-files BOOLEAN'
     If the code was compiled to be able to read HDB configuration
     files, a false argument to this command will prevent them from
     being read.  This can be useful while testing.  The default is
     true.
