When using Voice Power Electronic Mail Release 1.0 and HDB MT-V5.4u, I periodically received a error message "Chmod failure of Status File". I have figured out a fix. When Voice Power does outgoing mail it runs /usr/bin/uustat -j number to find out what is happening with the uucp job. The problem is that HDB uucp does not recognize -j it recognizes -k. A quick and dirty fix is as follows: log in as root mv /usr/bin/uustat /usr/bin/uustat.o vi /usr/bin/uustat case $1 in -j) 1=-k ;; esac /usr/bin/uustat.o :wq chmod a+x /usr/bin/uustat chmod s+o /usr/bin/uustat chown uucp /usr/bin/uustat That will provide a little bourne shell to fix uustat. It slows things just a bit but otherwise everything seems to be ok. To unfix the fix... log in as root mv /usr/bin/uustat /usr/bin/uustat.1 mv /usr/bin/uustat.o /usr/bin/uustat I still have one problem with HDB which I cannot fix so far.
