As I described in an earlier note, I changed the permission on /var/spool/uucp so that is was only writable by uucp. This confused C-Kermit, which is trying to obey the uucp locking protocol. It only gave a warning, but I thought to be safe I would change the permission back to public write and with the sticky bit, even though I have been advised otherwise. Is there an expert out there on the uucp locking protocol who can advise me on the proper permissions? -David- Bitnet: david@wubios.wustl ^ Mr. David J.
