ado@elsie.UUCP (Arthur David Olson) (09/15/84)
In notifying a user of problems with file transfers, "uucp" sends the same
message ("can't copy to file/directory - file left in PUBDIR/user/file")
both when the file is left in PUBDIR on the local system
and when the file is left in PUBDIR on the remote system.
You can change uucp to produce different messages. Here are the relevant
lines from "cntrl.c":
char *Em_msg[] = {
"COPY FAILED (reason not given by remote)",
"local access to file denied",
"remote access to path/file denied",
"system error - bad uucp command generated",
"remote system can't create temp file",
#ifdef OLDVERSION
"can't copy to file/directory - file left in PUBDIR/user/file",
#else
"can't copy to file/directory - file left in PUBDIR/user/file on remote system",
#endif
"can't copy to file/directory - file left in PUBDIR/user/file",
};
I know some wiser person will set things straight if this is worng.
