Hi...

	I'm having problems with Taylor UUCP that I just can't figure
out :(  I can't use uucp to  transfer from one system to another.

	I'm trying to go from a Linux 0.99pl6 system, with Taylor
config files, to another Unix system, and everytime I get:

ERROR: Not permitted to send 'filename'

	whether I originate, or he does.  I'm presuming this is an
error in my configuration somewhere, but can't find it.

	I have 'request' and 'transfer' set to yes in my sys file...I
have 777 permissions on /usr/spool/uucppublic...uucppublic has
owner/group of uucp.uucp...uucico is setuid uucp...send/receive
directories for both directions is /usr/spool/uucppublic, explicitly
set.

	is there something elusive I'm missing?  something that needs
to be set?

Thanks...

Marc

I just had to follow up the question!  The adrenalin started 
pumpin when I read it! :)

I had the same problem with 1.03 and still have it with 1.04.
I am usually sharp with checking permissions since I made my
self look silly with some questions with obvious answers in
the past.  However, I have checked out all the permissions
I can think of and STILL the only one who can succeed in a 
transfer is root.  I have also found that even when I put
a file in uucppublic, it must be owned by uucp.uucp or
it won't go.  Is there perhaps, some FAQ floating around
that would cover this?  If not, does anyone have some
answers.  (I am sure I have overlooked something)

	Thanks.
