I tried the uucp command suggested in the Digest, and it failed. The problem is with uucp'ing from/to sites we cannot dial directly. Thus, uucp foo!/usr/spool/uucppublic/bar my_bar works fine, but uucp sytek!menlo70!ucbvax!/usr/spool/uucppublic/bar my_bar fails. (This was the command I tried, essentially. Only the terminal pathnames are changed). Is this a general (mis?)feature of uucp? or do we have an out-of-date version?
