Well, I just solved the problem of why my uucp command didn't work when the uusend command would. The problem looked like this: cube.unh.edu# cd /tmp cube.unh.edu# ls .NextTrash/ console.log od.512.2 cube.unh.edu# ls -l console.log -rw-rw-rw- 1 root 223 Jun 22 17:36 console.log cube.unh.edu# uucp console.log mozz\!~ permission denied /private/tmp/console.log cube.unh.edu# uusend console.log mozz\!~ cube.unh.edu# The solution was quite simple. After some RTFM I found out that the uucp command has a -xDEBUG_LEVEL which yields this: cube.unh.edu# uucp -x20 console.log mozz\!~ ** START ** UID 0, User root,Ename () PATH / Before Alias: mozz Alias expansion for mozz Alias doesn't match mozz, remains unchanged After Alias: mozz file1 - console.log send file - 2 filename not in list permission denied /private/tmp/console.log cube.unh.edu# I then look in the NeXTanswers for uucp and found the "uucp debug messages 2.0" and the line "4 chkpth.c "filename not in list\n", CNULL". Since USERFILE is the only file I know that deals with pathnames, I look there. The last few lines of the USERFILE are this: # This last line is recommended to reduce aggravation. # Security minded sites would probably use: , /usr/spool # instead of #, / I comment the /usr/spool and uncomment the / and everything works like a charm. Thanks to all who tried to help. tjb -- +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Thomas Baker Voice: (603) 743-4987 | | P.O.
