Hi Netters,
  I am installing UUCP on my XENIX. When I uucp a file from my machine
to the neighbouring UNIX, I get the error msg "Can't get file status
for <file>". SCO Manual, under UUCP error messages does not explain
the file status errors. Is this produced by fstat() system call? 
My files are queued in /usr/spool/uucp directory, but 
/usr/spool/uucp/.Admins/errors contains the following msg

ASSERT ERROR (uucico) PID:..PERMISSIONS file:BAD OPTION--
  nuucp COMMANDS(13) [FILE: permission.C, LINE 470]
ASSERT ERROR (uuxqt) .... [FILE: permission.c, LINE:470]

I tried to grep permission.c to locate error at line 470 in it.
But there is no such file in the system!

If anyone out there had the same encounter with UUCP, could you
please e-mail to me the solution. Your help will be appreciated.
