A friend of mine asked if I would post a query for him. He just bought Coherent, which (I guess) is running HDB UUCP. My system is running standard UUCP. While all goes fine with mail sent to his Coherent system is fine, news is sent to the bitbucket. The errormessage in his logs say No permission for Rnews. His system created a directory for my system with my systems name, but it also created another directory with my system name in truncated form. So he has a directory called dogear, and one called doge. (Weird). While he has dogear in the permissions file, UUXQT tries to unbatch as doge instead of dogear. Thus, Coherent's XQT doesn't recognize the name, and when permission is failed, Coherent then *deletes* the contents of the directory. Does anyone have any suggestions I can pass on?

(In HDB, you have to explicitly enable permission to remotely execute commands. Except for rmail (which is what e-mail uses) which is the default. If you put rnews in, you'll have to mention rmail as well. -- Chris Lewis, Phone: (613) 832-0541, Domain: clewis@ferret.ocunix.on.ca UUCP: ...!cunews!latour!ecicrl!clewis; Ferret Mailing List: ferret-request@eci386; Psroff (not Adobe Transcript) enquiries: psroff-request@eci386 or Canada 416-832-0541.

What are the permissions on rnews and who is the owner? >While he has dogear in the permissions file, UUXQT tries to unbatch as doge >instead of dogear.

Write to me at one of the addresses at the end of this article. I am running Coherent and Cnews here without any problems. Rick Kelly rmk@rmkhome.UUCP frog!rmkhome!rmk rmk@frog.UUCP

One of his problems is the system name of the calling system. Coherent only accepts up to seven characters for a system name. Rick Kelly rmk@rmkhome.UUCP frog!rmkhome!rmk rmk@frog.UUCP
