I have just added two UUCP feeds and it was very simple to check that the node names didn't already exist... I just ran uuhost on my upstream feed, which is on the Internet. This doesn't tell me whether or not, say, system 'xyz' went up and then died and still has some old links in the map; but it does say whether there is currently an 'xyz' in the maps. A small and very simple step we can all take (or many of us can take) to insure that duplicates don't happen... --Steve -- *** ** ** The Tiny Software Co.

This doesn't tell me whether or not, You can also run "egrep abcd /usr/lib/smail/paths" node name (less 1 or 2 chars, to check for similar names). > say, system 'xyz' went up and then died and still has some old links in > the map; but it does say whether there is currently an 'xyz' in the > maps. > > Steve _zjt -- ******************************************************************** Zbigniew J.
