Lines: 58 I have experienced a problem with HDB UUCP as it is distributed with SCO Xenix. The relevent information follows: Permission file entry: MACHINE=libcmp LOGNAME=libcmp \ COMMANDS=uucp:rmail \ READ=/usr/spool/uucppublic:/usr/tmp \ WRITE=/usr/spool/uucppublic:/usr/tmp \ SENDFILES=yes REQUEST=yes System file entry: libcmp Never ACU 19200 p0000 ogin:--ogin:--ogin: nuucp File permissions: drwxr-xr-x 34 backup bin 576 Feb 17 13:12 /usr/ drwxrwxrwx 12 backup bin 192 Dec 13 14:51 /usr/spool/ drwxrwxrwx 6 uucp uucp 112 Mar 6 14:05 /usr/spool/uucppublic/ drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 48 Mar 6 14:07 /usr/spool/uucppublic/rn/ -rw-rw-rw- 1 root root 29205 Mar 6 14:07 /usr/spool/uucppublic/rn/part01.Z Log file result (I broke the line up and inserted the backslashes) uucp libcmp (3/6-11:42:58,3290,0) REMOTE REQUESTED \ (ispi!/usr/spool/uucppublic/rn/part01.Z --> \ libcmp!/usr/spool/uucppublic/rn/part01.Z (root)) root libcmp (3/6-11:42:58,3290,0) REQUESTING (DENIED) As you can see, the remote system was able to call up and successfully log into my system. However, it was not able to access any file which it should have been able to. I was able to successfully transfer the information by uucp'ing the information, and then having them call up. Any ideas? Please e-mail, if there is enough interest I will post a summary. Thanks in advance.
