I receintly found a problem while attempting to execute the following type of command: uux !command <rmtsys!file Uucico always returned permission denied. I have traced the problem down to the permissions on /usr/spool/uucp. My uucp directory had a mode of 755 as all work files are supposed to be placed in the subdirectories (D., D.oliveb, etc.). However the receive file command does not do subdir expansion. I consider this an error. I came up with the following fix: *** cntrl.orig Thu Mar 24 14:34:49 1983 --- cntrl.c Fri Jun 7 18:47:41 1985 *************** *** 199,205 } if (wrktype == RCVFILE) { ! strcpy(filename, W_FILE2); expfile(filename); if (chkpth(User, "", filename) || chkperm(filename, index(W_OPTNS, 'd'))) { --- 199,208 ----- } if (wrktype == RCVFILE) { ! /* oliveb!jerry (Jerry Aguirre) 7Jun85 ! * Subfile(W_FILE2). ! */ ! strcpy(filename, subfile(W_FILE2)); expfile(filename); if (chkpth(User, "", filename) || chkperm(filename, index(W_OPTNS, 'd'))) {
