UUCP is definitely not my favorite unix program. |:(
I've connected up with ibmsupt at ACIS in Palo Alto and
sucessfully received:
/usr/spool/uucppublic/ibm43-fixes/hc2.1s.tar.Z
/usr/spool/uucppublic/ibm43-fixes/patch.tar.Z
however, when I try to retrieve the diff files v1.{*} I get
the following sequence of events.
The command:
# uucp -x4 ibmsupt\!~/ibm43-fixes/v1.10 /usr/spool/uucppublic
The
LOGFILE:
...
root northstar5 (9/1-07:25-375) QUE'D (C.ibmsuptnruN0)
root ibmsupt (9/1-07:26-376) SUCCEEDED (call to ibmsupt )
root ibmsupt (9/1-07:26-376) OK (startup ttys0 1200 baud)
root ibmsupt (9/1-07:26-376) REQUEST (R ~/ibm43-fixes/v1.10 /usr/spool/uucppublic
root)
root ibmsupt (9/1-07:26-376) REQUEST FAILED (remote access to path/file denied)
root ibmsupt (9/1-07:26-376) OK (conversation complete)
...
Does anyone out there with UUCP exper(tease) have any clue as to
what might possibly be going on.
Here is what my local USERFILE looks like:
#Record for ACIS University Support. ibmsupt does not log in but calls.
,northstar5 /
,ibmsupt /usr/spool/uucppublic /tmp
...and yes, I know that posting the contents of this file is a
security faux pas ;-).
