[comp.sys.amiga.datacomm] UUCP 1.06D error message

walt@bcarh133.uucp (Walt Sullivan) (01/31/91)

I'm running UUCP 1.06D on my Amiga 2000, 3 MB memory, 40MB HD. When I try to request
a file from my feed site, with:

uucp Atronx!~/ab20/readme.uucp1.08d uupub:readme.uucp1.08d      or

cd uupub:
uucp Atronx!~/ab20/readme.uucp1.08d readme.uucp1.08d            or

uucp Atronx!~/ab20/readme.uucp1.08d readme.uucp1.08d

I get a 0-byte file in UUPUB: called readme.uucp1.08d-12345678.TMP, and the
following messages in my UUSPOOL:LOGFILE:

(01/30-05:30:55) uucico,Atronx,walt REQUEST R ~/ab20/readme.uucp1.08d uupub:readme.uucp1.08d walt -c D.atronxX2664 0666 walt
(01/30-05:30:56) uucico,Atronx,walt REQUEST DENIED SN4

My UULIB:Security says "UUPUB:  rw".

What does "REQUEST DENIED SN4" mean? How can I get it to work?

It's probably not a problem of your security file, but one of your feed.

From uucp-g summary, posted to comp.sys.amiga.datacomm

[...]
        If the master wishes to send a file to the slave, it will
        send a S message to the slave. If the slave can or will do
        the transfer, it sends a SY message. If the slave has a
        problem creating work files, it sends a SN4 message. If
        the target file can't be created (because of priv's etc)
        it sends a SN2 message.

Whenever I've gotten that message, it's meant that the file doesn't exist
on the remote system.  I've also gotten the 0 byte file when this has
happened.

I think this means the machine you called denied the request not your
machine.
