HDB uucp and UA Voice Power Electronic Mail 1.0

[Ronald K. Wright]

When using Voice Power Electronic Mail Release 1.0 and 
HDB MT-V5.4u, I periodically received a error message "Chmod failure
of Status File".

I have figured out a fix. 

When Voice Power does outgoing mail it runs 
/usr/bin/uustat -j number 
to find out what is happening with the uucp job.   The problem is that HDB
uucp does not recognize -j it recognizes -k.

A quick and dirty fix is as follows:

log in as root
mv /usr/bin/uustat /usr/bin/uustat.o
vi /usr/bin/uustat
case $1 in
-j) 1=-k ;;
esac
/usr/bin/uustat.o
:wq
chmod a+x /usr/bin/uustat
chmod s+o /usr/bin/uustat
chown uucp /usr/bin/uustat

That will provide a little bourne shell to fix uustat.  It slows things
just a bit but otherwise everything seems to be ok.

To unfix the fix...
log in as root
mv /usr/bin/uustat /usr/bin/uustat.1
mv /usr/bin/uustat.o /usr/bin/uustat

I still have one problem with HDB which I cannot fix so far.  See next 
posting.
