Simple: You have not told MMDF what your UUCP name is. There is a declaration to put into your mmdftailor which is: UUNAME uucp-name If SCO includes the MMDF Administrators guide then this is mentioned in that manual. BTW, the `somewhere' name is a fallback kinda thing for when it doesn't know that the UUCP name is. It has two sources of information: A compiled in constant, or the above mentioned declaration. Obviously SCO cannot ship binaries with a compiled-in constant ... I do not know of a programmatic way of determining the system's UUCP name, sort of opening a pipe to uuname(1). <- David Herron <david@twg.com>, Just: Another E-Mail hacker ... <- <- As for the prevalence of gratuitous stupidity in modern life, well, <- need I say more than "MS-DOS"? -- Bill Janssen
