[unix-pc.uucp] two hops in uucp

john@spirit.UUCP (John F. Godfrey) (10/28/89)

Is there some kind of a bug in HoneyDanBer for the 3b1 that will not
allow two-hop transfers with uucp?  Or is it a bug in me or my syntax?
What?  Me?  Noooo:-)

Anyway, here is what I was trying to do:
uucp -m firsthop!secondhop!/filename destinationfile

That's the way I see it in the manual and the System V Bible (pardon
the expression, God).

Any help would be appreciated.

The intermediate machine has to allow "uucp" (and maybe "uux"?) in
a COMMANDS entry of /usr/lib/uucp/Permissions.

/usr/lib/uucp/Permissions is a source of great confusion to lots
of administrators.  Anyone know of a good reference?  I use the
System V Administrator Guide (*not* Manual...there's more information
about stuff like this in the Guide).

	Make sure in the "Permissions" file for each
	site, your own included, that "uucp" is permitted
	in the "COMMANDS" keyword.

	If the next site isn't System V the multi-hop
	probably won't work.
