	Is there perhaps an incompatibility here between V.2 and V.3?
	If so, what can be done about it?  Are we just stuck?

The multihop file transfer stuff in System V release 1 and 2 will not
work with older UUCP implementations, including HoneyDanBer.  HDB
*should* have been upgraded to understand the System V multihop file
transfer when it was made the standard UUCP for System V.  If it wasn't,
the only solution is to file a bug report (which *might* not be ignored)
and go back to SVR2 uucp.

	The security issue is one of the reasons I'm concerned about
	what I think is the HDB method of allowing forwarding.

Right.  Another problem with the way that HDB handles multihop file
transfers is that it does not support multihop fetches, i. e. a command
like "uucp a!b!~/ka/file ." will not work.  The advantage of the HDB
approach is that it will let you forward through systems running any
version of the UUCP software.
