Help! Today I logged in and I had the following mail in my root mailbox:

It looks to me (I am inexperienced in this folks.. bear with me!) like a
failed uucp request. Though, this can not be true since I did not make any
uucp requests and the site I am linked with did not request any files
from me.

Any ideas?

Eric

Do you have rnews enabled in the Systems file.  Looks to me like it tried
to execute rnews and wasn't allowed to.
