Please summerize the anwers to this question as I am trying to run UUCP 1.6d
on almost the exact same configuration (A2500/30, v.32 9600 modem), and I
havent gotten that far yet, so I want to know if this is the next hurdle I
will have to climb.

Are there any UUCP wizards out there that can help me out with the probelm I
am having with UUCP1.06d?  I have installed it all on my machine as per the
docs (at least I think...), but I don't have anyone to test with so I had to
be as carefull as I can and go straight for the UNIX feed.

Everything seems to work, if I send mail it puts three spool files in the
spool, if send mail to my username (without a site) it puts it in my mailbox
and I can read it, etc...  If I run UUCICO to poll the site it calls and
successfully logs in, sends some characters back and forth and logs out.  The
spoool/logfile would get any entry like this:

(12/20-09:36:42) uucico,sereneslow,- DIALED sereneslow
(12/20-09:36:47) uucico,sereneslow,- SUCCEEDED call to sereneslow

but all my outgoing mail files are still in my spool and never end up at their
destination, and the administrator at my feed assures me that there is mail
and news waiting for me.  Nothing has ever shown up (mail or news) from any
machine other than mine.

I called the machine manually to make sure the login was all correct, entered
my login and password and I get the "Shere=serene" (serene" is the node name
that is feeding me), which is whats supposed to happen (I think).

What could I be doing wrong?  The only thing I can think of is maybee I have a
probelm with the security file.  There was no example lib/security file in my
distribution so I used the one from the man page, and it now looks like this:

#   This file is used by UUCICO to determine the validity of requests.
#
#   The directories listed here are *allowed* directories for uucp
#   transfers.	The permissions field lists permissions
#		    r	-readable
#		    w	-writable

tmp:	    rw
uucp:c	    r
uucp:man    r
UUPUBW:	    rw
UUPUB:      r
UUCP:lib    rw
UUCP:s      rw
UUCP:mail   rw
UUCP:News   rw

# If you have a UUPUBW: assign that is *different* from UUPUB: then
# you might want to make UUPUB: readable only and UUPUBW: read-write.

Am I missing something that could be preventing proper transfers, or could I
have a problem somewhere else that I havent though of?  Any help would be
GREATLY appreciated.

Thanks very much,

-Jason-
