In trying to set up a Permissions entry, both me and my AT&T counterpart have tried the obvious - running uutry shows that both machines recognize each other, pick the 'g' protocal, etc. etc. - we've both set sendfiles and request to yes - rmail under commands. Still, attempted mail transfers fail. Would anyone like to share suggestions for a good Permissions entry. I'm particularly interested in appropriate settings for the READ and WRITE directory restrictions so that RMAIL transfers are possible (if this even matters). Any input would be greatly apppreciated, and yes, if you mail directly to: rabullin@athena.mit.edu I will gladly post a summary. Thanks in advance! -- Robert A.
