[comp.emacs] Problems using cis-osu anonymous uucp

ttg@gryphon.COM (Ted Garrett) (11/24/89)

  I seem to have a problem using annonymous uucp sites.  Could someone 
tell me what I need to do?  Do I need to tell someone before I try this?

I am using an AT&T 6386 w/ Unix System V, revision 3.2 and the standard 
uucp package delivered with it.  When I attempt to contact osu-cis using the
posted Systems file entry, I get 
 
    (SYSTEM:  ttg01)  access denied

Someone please tell me what I can do to correct this problem...
I'm new to uucp, so smother the flames.  I've R'ed TFM till I'm red in
the face, and they don't help.

That's not osu-cis complaining at you; it's your own system.  You're
probably trying to write the file into a directory which "uucp" cannot
write - you have to chmod 777 /destination/directory/name in order for
your end to be able to put the file where you want it.
