I just saw this little blurb float through my system...
|remote execution [uucp job osu-cisN63e8 (12/21-14:57:12)]
| uucp -C /n/tut/0/ftp/pub/gnu/emacs/18.55/* foghorn!/usr/spool/uucppublic/
|execution permission denied to jcr
Once again, quoting from GNU.how-to-get...
----------------
|NOTE: Do not request the files to be transferred using a command like
| % uucp osu-cis!~/gnu/emacs/18.55/emacs\* /some/local/directory
|because that won't work. That will queue up a short request via *uux*
|to run a uucp command on osu-cis; it will fail for security reasons.
----------------
Of course, notwithstanding that wildcards were used in this example
(by itself, sufficient for it to fail), the person requested stuff
from /n/tut/0/... While that's the real pathname under which stuff
like this hides, that's not how you see it from UUCP.
Sigh,
