Just allow the 'uucp' command to be remotely executed in your Permissions file, and away you will go. Without a Permissions file only the 'rmail' command can be executed. NB this is for AT&T versions, I can't comment on what other people might have done to the code. Also one should consider closing down access to one's file systems (via setting READ= and WRITE=) when enabling 'uucp' in this way. -- Jonathan Clark jonathan@mtune.att.com, attmail!jonathan Any affiliation is given for identification purposes only.
