Does your Sys V system run HoneyDanBer UUCP ? (Files in /usr/lib/uucp look
like Systems, Devices, Permissions etc.)
Then your Permissions file is probably wrong. Insert an entry:

MACHINE=name-of-your-Ultrix-system \
LOGNAME=userid-Ultrix-uses-to-login \
READ=/usr/spool/uucppublic \
WRITE=/usr/spool/uucppublic \
REQUEST=yes \
SENDFILES=yes \
CALLBACK=no \
COMMANDS=rmail:rnews

Good luck.
