Helpful, no? Here's what others have told me: I have seen this problem before! We are running SVR3.1 on a Motorola Box and have some local Suns dumpping things to it constantly, so a minor change in policies have thrown us off! This error is one of four problems: 1) In the Permissions file (on the remote machine) the LOGNAME parameter is not what you are logging in as. e.g.: Their Permissions file say: LOGNAME=XXXXX,MACHINE=mccc but you are logging in as (say) uucp. 2) Again in the Permissions file, the READ and WRITE parameters are not set correctly. They should at least be: READ=/usr/spool,WRITE=/usr/spool 3) The login shell for your uucp login (again on the remote machine) is not set to /usr/lib/uucp/uucico (or equivalent). 4) During your poll of that machine you are not executing uucico with the -r1 option. If *you* are polling, this should be set. Good luck and I hope this helps!!!!!!! scott barman gatech!dtscp1!scott So, the possible problems are: 1) your machine is not in his /usr/lib/uucp/Systems file, or 2) the /usr/lib/uucp/Systems file is not readable by the login id muucp Randy Davis UUCP: ...(att!)ocrjd!randy 3B2 System Test Engineering ...(att!)occrsh!rjd AT&T Network Systems, Oklahoma City Works i had this just last week ;-). uucp is unable to read one of the files that it needs. the problem i had was that uucico was SUID nuucp and the uucp files were owned by uucp. your remote system probably thinks you are an unknown machine. i'd start by checking the permissions on your Systems file. -- jfh@rpp386.uucp (The Beach Bum at The Big "D" Home for Wayward Hackers) Hope some of this helps.
