On a uucp command line, the tilde is normally understood to expand to
/usr/spool/uucppublic.
But: nothing in my documentation regarding the Permissions file indicates
that the tilde (~) will be properly interpreted therein.
In Permissions, I think you have to spell out the directories quite
literally.
But why include the PUBDIR in the READ or WRITE list if you list the root
directory first off?
