Summary: will run, read the release notice

Joel West asks why uuname, etc., complain that "/usr/lib/uucpsys/L.sys"
is protected on MV/UX (a UNIX[tm of AT&T] look-alike hosted on DG's
AOS/VS).  The reason for the complaint has to do with MV/UX's attempts
to protect the L.sys file.  Without setuid, MV/UX cannot use the
traditional protection mechanism, so it protects the file in another
directory (/usr/lib/uucpsys), and expects that publicly available information
 will be provided in a "sister" file named pubsys.

If you look at your release notice for MV/UX, Joel, you will notice
that there is a section that asks you to
	) become uucp
	) x uusys
	) bye
while in the /usr/lib/uucp directory.  uusys, when run by uucp (so that
you can access the L.sys file), creates the pubsys file.  It contains
the first column of the L.sys file (i.e., systems you talk to).
