This one has me stumped. Machine 'ours' calls machine 'theirs'; `uuxqt' has no problems with rmail, inews, uusend, but there are problems when 'bnb' is involved: *** My Permissions file: *** MACHINE=theirs MYNAME=ours \ REQUEST=yes SENDFILES=yes \ COMMANDS=/bin/rmail:/usr/bin/uusend:/nntp/inews:/usr/local/bin/bnb *** An extract from .Log/uuxqt/theirs (logfile) on host "ours": *** uucp theirs (10/4-1:19:10,4027,0) theirs!theirs!nuucp XQT (PATH=/bin:\ /usr/bin USER=uucp UU_MACHINE=theirs UU_USER=theirs!nuucp export UU_MA\ CHINE UU_USER PATH; /usr/bin/uusend -m 644 - ids ) uucp theirs (10/4-9:11:42,11044,0) theirs!theirs!b4 XQT - STDIN/STDOU\ T/FILE ACCESS DENIED (bnb /usr/local/bin/ruux - ours sh ) uucp theirs (10/4-9:41:29,11448,0) theirs!theirs!root XQT - STDIN/STD\ OUT/FILE ACCESS DENIED (bnb /usr/local/bin/ruux - ours sh ) *** 'uusend' is expanded, but 'bnb' isn't! *** *** Here I removed /usr/local/bin/bnb from the COMMANDS list: *** uucp theirs (10/4-9:46:09,11528,0) theirs!theirs!b4 XQT DENIED (bnb /\ usr/local/bin/ruux - ours sh ) *** To no avail.

Why isn't 'bnb' being expanded? PS. I have tried moving /usr/local/bin/bnb to some places inside the "COMMANDS=" string. -- a3@rivm.nl (Adri Verhoef)
