Not wishing to clutter up this group with a bunch of pretty obvious questions, could I ask if there's someone out there who'd be willing to teach me the basics of UUCP administration? E.g. I have just unpacked my Unix box (NeXT? Sun? Whatever.) and would like to hook myself up to UUCP mail, Usenet, etc. I wish to be a good citizen and pick a non-colliding name, notify the right people, set up my mailer (what *is* the copyright status of sendmail?) to do The Right Things, etc. What should I be doing? If someone could spare the time, I'd be most appreciative. Thanks! -- -Colin (microsof!w-colinp@sun.com <-is this legal? All I know is that It usually works.)
