	I have a question about bboard auto-archiving.  I can't seem to 
find this stuff documented anywhere.  I found the following in the 
bboards.h file, but it's not very explicit.  I think I can figure out 
the save & remove part, but what are the other flags for, and what else 
can I set with these.  Is there any way to control the archive age of 
bboards other than spacing the cron jobs farther apart?

    unsigned int    bb_flags;	/* various flags */
#define	BB_NULL	0x0000
#define	BB_ARCH	0x0007		/* archive policy */
#define   BB_ASAV	0x0001	/*   save in archives/ directory */
#define	  BB_AREM	0x0002	/*   remove without saving */
#define BB_INVIS	0x0010	/* invisible to bbc */
#define	BB_REMOTE	0x0020	/* remote to bbc */
#define	BB_SEEN		0x0040	/* seen by bbc */
#define	BBITS	"\020\01ARCHIVE\02REMOVE\05INVIS\06REMOTE\07SEEN"

	I'd rather not get 70 replies on how to use bbl.  The entire purpose
of this question is so I don't have to use bbl, because, frankly, I don't have
the time to read all of the bboards we have here.


thanks,

The directory /var/spool/uucppublic is also traditionally left wide
open.  UUCP is such a security problem that this directory is a minor 
issue, anyway.
