A friend of mine asked if I would post a query for him.

He just bought Coherent, which (I guess) is running HDB UUCP. My system is
running standard UUCP. While all goes fine with mail sent to his Coherent
system is fine, news is sent to the bitbucket. The errormessage in his logs
say No permission for Rnews. His system created a directory for my system
with my systems name, but it also created another directory with my system
name in truncated form. So he has a directory called dogear, and one called
doge. (Weird). 

While he has dogear in the permissions file, UUXQT tries to unbatch as doge
instead of dogear. Thus, Coherent's XQT doesn't recognize the name, and when
permission is failed, Coherent then *deletes* the contents of the directory.

Does anyone have any suggestions I can pass on?

Thanks!
