[comp.mail.uucp] UUCP not uuxqting under SunOS 3.5.

bownesrm@beowulf.UUCP (Mr Mojo Risen') (05/21/89)

	Ive actually got 2 separate problems. 1) incoming uucp
	traffice gets all the appropriate files stuffed into /usr/spool/uucp,
	but uuxqt never seems to run and when I run it by hand, it returns
	immediately. The files remain in /usr/spool.

		The other problem is probably sendmail. I can't get out to
	my uucp neighbors listed in the L.sys file. The system returns:
	"system unknown" messages....

		E-mail help on both of these problems would be apreciated.

		Thanks,
			bob

Check your file ownership & permissions.  I once spent a couple of hours
tracking down a UUCP problem that didn't exist, because the L.sys file was
owned by 'root'.  uucico would start up and exit with no error message
anywhere.  Probably someones idea of a feature...
