Just a few lines from italy.
Since last year, we are using a custom version of
uusend to ship files on the uucp network.
This version of uusend uses 'pathalias' databases to 
correctly forward files.
So you can type:

 uusend myfile /tmp@host
or
 uusend myfile ~@host   (=/usr/spool/uucppublic..)

Of course this requires that all of the hosts run uusend as well.
Security is Ok, everyone here has it, since not everyone
let 'uucp' inside his L-cmds  file (on Sys V.2 is a potential
security hole, at *least on xenix systems). Beside, uusend is
better than 'uuto' as-it-is now. 
Should the author post uusend? Is it copyright something or not?
Is it interesting to someone?

Greets, Paolo
