Almost (!) everything works just fine - I can uucp files in either direction from either machine. However, when I try to send mail in either direction, I get file access denied messages from the Sun. It seems as though the 386 is trying to send/get C. and D. mail files in /usr/spool/uucp, and the Sun wants to put them in /usr/spool/uucp/C./ and /usr/spool/uucp/D./. I *thought* that the problem was a configuration problem on the Sun, so I double checked the uucp installation there as per the Sun manual. They are very explicit about directory and file protections in their instructions; I set every file and directory protection as they specified, verbatim. I even tried setting every directory and file read/writeable to the entire world (to test), and got the same results. Any insight and/or hints here would be *greatly* appreciated. Ken P.S.
