[ ] Do you allow uusend from uuxqt? [ ] Does uuxqt run under uid uucp? [ ] Are your most valuable UUCP files 0600 for security? [ ] Are the same files owned by uucp? [ ] You look up the parameters to uusend, and see what you can do if you tell uux to do it. [ ] You didn't like what just occured to you. Yours, in a safer world, Erik Naggum -- UUCP -- erik@naggum.se UNIX is not ``eunuchs'' -- ARPA -- enag@naggum.uio.no in fact it's rather potent Snail -- Naggum Software; POB 1560 VIKA; OSLO 0118; NORWAY Phone -- +47-2-384-400 (office), +47-2-549-163 (home) "I wasn't paranoid until that man started following me." -- me, today.
