I need help in figuring out what causes these error messages. After I pull in my feed from a site called eskinews, I get this error. Looks like a uuxqt error: uuxqt eskinews news (1996-02-26 03:21:04.23 17618) ERROR: Not permitted to exe cute rnews uuxqt eskinews news (1996-02-26 03:21:04.56 17618) ERROR: Not permitted to exe cute rnews uucico eskinews - (1996-02-26 04:23:00.28 17830) Calling system eskinews (port cuaa1) uucico eskinews - (1996-02-26 04:23:35.70 17830) Login successful uucico eskinews - (1996-02-26 04:23:36.62 17830) Handshake successful (protoco l 'g' sending packet/window 64/7 receiving 64/7) .... This may be a UUCP problem in that I haven't set the permissions for Taylor UUCP to use rmail. Nowhere is the Taylor code have I seen anything about such permissions. Thanks to anyone who has clues.... gary kline PS: I realize that uucp and cnews are ancient; but it's worked well for years. At night when the system isn't busy.
