[news.admin] Need help with uucp grading

kcantrel@digi.UUCP (Keith Cantrell) (08/03/89)

Could some kind sole please explain how uucp grading works?  I was told from
the people at uunet that they queue up USENET at a grade of 'd' and mail at a
grade of 'Z'.  Now, how do I tell uucico to only requested things at a grade
of 'Z' and lower.  I tried to add the entry in my Systems file like:

uunet Any/Z,Any1900-0700 ACU .....

But when I placed the call to uunet it started sending me USENET.  Of course,
to be able to place "poll" calls to uunet I had to changed the uudemon.poll
script to make polls at grade 'A'.  I guess I could of made the poll at grade
'Z' and it still would of worked, but I did not think that it mattered.

Could someone please explain how the grading scheme works?

Also, is there any way that I can limit to where only certain users can access
certain machines via uucp?

One more thing, does anybody out there have a program that will create a summary
of the uucp usage, sorted by date and user.  In particular I want to know who
is mail through the sites that are long distance and how much long distance they
are using.

Thanks,

Keith
