Hello,

I have things set up, and things seem to work fine for files being UUCP'd _to_
me.  But, today when I tried to UUCP some things to another site it wouldn't
work, and I am at a loss for finding what might be wrong.  In the shell I typed
the following and got these results (I was in the directory where the file
TEST.out is located.)                 

# uucp -x9 TEST.out ati06!~/

** START **
UID 0, User root,Ename () PATH /
file1 - TEST.out
send file - 2
permission denied /General/UUCP/TEST.out

I was trying to send the file "TEST.out" to the remote host (that I regularly
receive file from via UUCP) "ati06", I've checked permissions for the file and
the path to the file that I am sending and it is o.k.  Even though it gives an
error it still calls "ati06" and then logs out, but it does nothing with the
file.  Where might the problem be?  I'm sure its something simple, but I don't
know quite where to look.  I am running 3.0 if that makes a difference.
Many thanks in advance...

I have found the problem, and yes it was a simple one.  I neglected to add
mself to the USERFILE in /etc/uucp so I didn't have permission to UUCP.
