(uucp settings) (fwd) To: freebsd-ports@freebsd.org (FreeBSD Ports) Date: Sat, 29 Jul 1995 00:21:19 -0400 (EDT) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL24] Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Length: 1345 Sender: ports-owner@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk I posted (and mailed) an answer to the question. My question, is this a ports or a hackers thing, and does someone want me to either edit the files to state the correct things for FreeBSD, or maybe a README file to install in /etc/uucp and if so, where do I send it? -- Jan Isley Nothing is permanent. Everything Changes. jan@bagend.atl.ga.us That's the one thing we know for sure in this world. But I'm still going to gripe about it. -- Calvin Mikhail Teterin wrote: > From: mi@cs.bu.edu (Mikhail Teterin) > Newsgroups: comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc > Subject: Bug?
