UUCP problem

[Jonathan Bayer]

I have experienced a problem with HDB UUCP as it is distributed with 
SCO Xenix.  The relevent information follows:


Permission file entry:

MACHINE=libcmp LOGNAME=libcmp \
	COMMANDS=uucp:rmail \
	READ=/usr/spool/uucppublic:/usr/tmp \
	WRITE=/usr/spool/uucppublic:/usr/tmp \
	SENDFILES=yes REQUEST=yes 


System file entry:

libcmp Never ACU 19200 p0000 ogin:--ogin:--ogin: nuucp



File permissions:

drwxr-xr-x  34 backup   bin          576 Feb 17 13:12 /usr/
drwxrwxrwx  12 backup   bin          192 Dec 13 14:51 /usr/spool/
drwxrwxrwx   6 uucp     uucp         112 Mar  6 14:05 /usr/spool/uucppublic/
drwxrwxrwx   2 root     root          48 Mar  6 14:07 /usr/spool/uucppublic/rn/
-rw-rw-rw-   1 root     root       29205 Mar  6 14:07 /usr/spool/uucppublic/rn/part01.Z




Log file result (I broke the line up and inserted the backslashes)

uucp libcmp  (3/6-11:42:58,3290,0) REMOTE REQUESTED \
	(ispi!/usr/spool/uucppublic/rn/part01.Z --> \
	libcmp!/usr/spool/uucppublic/rn/part01.Z (root))
root libcmp  (3/6-11:42:58,3290,0) REQUESTING (DENIED)




As you can see, the remote system was able to call up and successfully
log into my system.  However, it was not able to access any file which
it should have been able to.  I was able to successfully transfer the
information by uucp'ing the information, and then having them call up.

Any ideas?  Please e-mail, if there is enough interest I will post a
summary.

Thanks in advance.
