The '~' was supposed to be expanded to the path in the passwd file. It doesn't get expanded so here's what you need to get the stuff. uucp adaptex!/usr/spool/uucppublic/scsiutil/list /usr/spool/uucppublic/list To obtain any of the files, replace the word 'list' in the above uucp command with the name of the file. I found two local systems that help me test this out and it works. No more beleiving what I read anymore and no more guess work. Do not use wildcards.

<uucp adaptex!/usr/spool/uucppublic/scsiutil/list /usr/spool/uucppublic/list
The '~' will not expand the way it is written in the above uucp command. It
looks like it should be:
uucp adaptex!~uucp/scsiutil/list ~uucp (use \! for csh command line)
Depending on the system, the uucp may be nuucp. You must remember that the
'~' needs a name of the user in the password file, before it can be expanded.
The idea of the '~' without anything is for when a user is logged into a system
and the '~' then gets expanded to the user's home, ie, ~/.login will find the
user's .login file.
Hope this helps a little bit.
