I ran into a slight problem getting a UUCP account configured on my RS/6000 and was wondering if anyone else has had similar problems. The first problem I ran into, was that smit wouldn't let me designate /usr/lib/uucp/uucico as the initial program. Smit would give me an error that the choice was invalid. I ended up having to select /bin/ksh, exit smit, and then edit /etc/passwd and change the /bin/ksh to what I wanted. Renetering smit showed that the change was affective. The next problem I found was that when a uucp account logs in, I get /etc/motd displayed on the screen! Is there anyway to disable this (other than renaming motd which is what I've done for the time being)? On a related note, is there a way to create a new user with a group other than the default? When I create a user and then change the group id to what I want, I then have to manually fix the home directory that smit created and all the files in it to have the correct group id. -- ##################################################################### # CompuServe: >INTERNET:uunet.UU.NET!ki!dwatts Dan Watts # # UUCP : ...!{uunet | wgc386}!ki!dwatts Ki Research, Inc. # ############### New Dimensions In Network Connectivity ##############

The same thing happens if you change a users uid. This is really annoying. If there is an option to change a users uid or gid in smit then smit should change all of that users files as well. -- Jeff W. Boote SCD/NCAR boote@ncar.ucar.edu Boulder, Colo
