uucp

[Steve Eick]

I'm having trouble with uucp mail on my Iris.  Whenever I
receive mail from other System V (non sgi) machines, the 
Iris tags the message as being from user nuucp and send root the
the mail message below.

Has anyone else run into this bug?  I phoned in a support
request to SGI's hotline back in the middle of September
and they haven't yet responded.

Thanks, Steve Eick

PS. There's an error in SGI's /usr/lib/uucp/uudemon.clnu script
that results in new uucppublic files being removed
when the parent directory ages.  The fix is easy:

# bad line
#find $PUBDIR -depth -mtime +7 -print | xargs /bin/rm -rf
find $PUBDIR -type f -mtime +7 -exec rm -f {} \;
find $PUBDIR/* -depth -type d -exec rmdir {} \;
