Odds are fair that you haven't set up the Permissions file
correctly for everything.  

Here's an excerpt from my Permissions file, which might clear up some
questions:

        LOGNAME=uucp \
        REQUEST=yes \
	READ=/usr/spool/uucppublic \
	WRITE=/usr/spool/uucppublic \
        COMMANDS=rmail:rnews \
        SENDFILES=yes

As of January, on the 386 port of HDB, there was good documentation on
every file except the Permissions file, where there was no documentation
at all.  I assume this is better now, since I got copies of the manual
pages when I asked for them in March or so.
