Collins Lines: 28 I have some questions about uucp. Here goes: 1. Why do files that are to be sent by uucp have to have read access by "other", even if they are owned by uucp? 2. Why does uucp create files with mode 666, regardless of their mode on the original machine? 3. Why does uucp refuse to forward files to non-public directories? Here's the picture: A <---> B <---> C I can send files from A to any writable directory on B, but if I try to send them to something other than uucppublic on C uucp barfs and says "can't forward to non-public directory". Note that this is an immediate message, so it isn't checking to see if the remote machine minds. If it matters, I am using HP-UX (System V with added stuff) on an HP 9000.
