I'm a novice at uucp. We're trying to set up a uucp link between:
o srcsip (currently a Sun running SunOS 3.5, and using USR HST modems;
srcsip has several working uucp links to multiple machine types); and
o pserv, a HP9000 500 running hpux 5.2 . (This is the remote machine, and
I don't know much about it; I do know that it has TWG's TCP/IP v1.1,
including sendmail.)
Here's the symptoms.
o This works:
o uucp for file copying in both directions;
o mail from pserv to srcsip;
o uux from srcsip to print files on pserv.
o This doesn't work:
o mail from srcsip to pserv. Whenever I try to send mail to pserv,
it comes back with "uuxqt cmd (rmail <user>) status (DENIED)"
for the given <user> (we've tried 'root' and 'stevem', so far).
I initially suspected pserv's L.cmds -- but I can do remote prints, and the
lp command and the rmail command are both there (the L.cmds file is appended
below.)
One thing Steve tried was running uuxqt by hand on pserv (see below).
The output looks to me like file access is being denied by chkpth, based
on the USERFILE. But it looks like it's complaining about the
/usr/spool/uucp/D. file, which seems wierd. And the USERFILE on pserv
looks okay to me (it's appended below).
Does this sound familiar to anyone? Am I barking up the wrong tree?

well my plan didnt exactly work but it did leave the uux files behind...
i copied them and ran uuxqt by hand with x9 debugging...it appears to be
having problems with either rmail or the /usr/spool/uucp files....
you should also receive the debugging output...does it mean anything to you?
i tried adding full paths to L.cmds and it made no difference....

Try adding /usr/spool/uucp to USERFILE. Larry Fenske lunar!larry

No, don't. USERFILE is for destination files. /usr/spool/uucp is
for UUCP private spool files. UUCP already knows how to write to
its own spool directory.
