I am at the end of my rope over this one! I have a uucp link over a
direct wire between two systems, one running HDB uucp (SCO XENIX 2.3.2)
and the other an Altos 2086 running some flavor of Altos Xenix with the
old style uucp.
I am able to uucp files from the Altos to the HDB system fine. It is UUX
that is giving me the grief. The command I run on the Altos is:
uux "TWG!ls TWG!/tmp > TWG!/tmp/test-list"
This is supposed to run "ls" on TWG on TWG's /tmp directory and put the
output in TWG's /tmp directory in a file called test-list". The entries
in TWG's .Log/uuxqt/Altos file are:
uucp Altos (10/16-17:16:50,12034,0) root XQT- STDIN/STDOUT/FILE ACCESS DENIED (ls /tmp )
uucp Altos (10/16-17:16:51,12034,0) root XQT- STDIN/STDOUT/FILE ACCESS DENIED (ls /tmp )
uucp Altos (10/16-17:49:40,12698,0) root XQT- STDIN/STDOUT/FILE ACCESS DENIED (ls /tmp )
uucp Altos (10/16-17:59:21,12914,0) root XQT- STDIN/STDOUT/FILE ACCESS DENIED (ls /tmp )
uucp Altos (10/16-18:00:40,12962,0) root XQT- STDIN/STDOUT/FILE ACCESS DENIED (/bin/ls /tmp )
I do not have manuals for the old version of uucp running on the Altos,
so I'm poking in the dark. I believe I have setup the HDB permissions
correctly to allow the Altos system to do this. Here is the Permissions
entry:
MACHINE=Altos \
COMMANDS=rmail:rnews:uucp:/bin/ls:/bin/who \
READ=/usr/spool/uucppublic:/usr/tmp:/usr/spool/uucp/ualtos \
WRITE=/usr/spool/uucppublic:/usr/tmp:/usr/spool/uucp/ualtos \
SENDFILES=yes REQUEST=yes
I have given permission to execute the "ls" command and access to the
"/tmp" directory. What am I missing here.
The next problem will be setting up permissions for TWG on the Altos.
The "USERFILE" is supposed to contain a list of the directories that
access is allowed to, but nowhere do I see where the commands execute
permission is registered. Someone here told me there should be a
"L.cmds" file that lists the execute permissions. I have no idea what
the format of this file is supposed to be.
Anyone else familiar with L.cmds?
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

The entries Try, instead the following: uux TWG!"ls /tmp > TWG!/tmp/test-list" This approach works running from SCO UNIX to Zilog 8000 (running second-generation UUCP).

As many people pointed out to me through mail, I had only given permission to the remote for "/usr/tmp" and was attempting a uux on files in the "/tmp" directory. Thanks to all who replied. Correcting this has solved the uux problem in one direction, running uux on the Altos Xenix old uucp system to a remote HDB system is working fine. However, there's a catch (isn't there always a catch?). I need to run uux in the other direction as well. Here my documentation is very scanty. Thanks to the person who emailed me the man pages for L.cmds and L.sys. Following are the relevant entries in each of the files on the old UUCP system, the command I ran, and the LOGFILE entry. L.cmds ------ PATH=/bin:/usr/bin who ls uucp xqt uuxqt ruusend L.sys ----- TWG Any tty02 9600 tty5 gin:-EOT-gin:-EOT-gin: ualtos USERFILE -------- uucp, / , / bill,TWG /tmp /usr/spool/uucppublic utwg,TWG /tmp /usr/spool/uucppublic root,Altos /usr/lib/uucp /usr/spool/uucppublic /tmp /usr/spool/uucp uux command on Altos@@ HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH uux "!ls !/tmp > !/tmp/uux-file" LOGFILE@@ HHHHHHH root Altos (10/21-13:13) root XQT DENIED (ls /tmp ) I can't even get root on the Altos system allowed to run uux locally, let alone remotely! I have a feeling something is missing from the L.cmds file. Some people suggested that I have a L-cmds and uuxqtcmds files, so I linked the L.cmds file to them so I have all three. Is it obvious and I'm too thick to see it? This should be a piece of cake for anyone out there running pre HDB uucp in a flavour used by Altos Xenix 3.4 who is doing uux, or allowing it to be done. -- Bill Irwin - The Westrheim Group - Vancouver, BC, Canada ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ uunet!van-bc!twg!bill (604) 431-9600 (voice) | UNIX Systems bill@twg.bc.ca (604) 430-4329 (fax) | Integration
