I am running a close relative of version 7 UUCP, bundled with IBM Xenix 1.0 on
an IBM PC-AT. Xenix 1.0 is a repackaged Microsoft Xenix 3.0. The problem I am
having is this: the "uucp" program removes the /usr/lib/uucp/R_stat file.
Given an existing /usr/lib/uucp/R_stat with the following owners and file
permissions:
-rw-r--r-- 1 uucp uucp 0 Mar 31 20:37 /usr/lib/uucp/R_stat
if I run "uucp," which is installed like this:
-rws--x--x 1 uucp uucp 27341 Aug 31 1984 /usr/bin/uucp*
the file /usr/lib/uucp/R_stat is removed. There seems to be no adverse effect
in terms of UUCP transfers but the message
File /usr/lib/uucp/R_stat access denied
is displayed by both "uucp" and "uustat" and "uustat" is not able to report on
UUCP job status.
Why would "uucp" be deleting this file?
