hi, got a couple questions involving uucp and the mail system.. right now im hooked up to the internet via a 56k line and i bout the freebsd 2.0 cd to install it mainly so i could send mail out from a MajorBBS machine that im running on a novell network back out to the internet and vice versa. right now i have the unix box hooked to the novell net stacked with the tcp/ip.. i also have a machine (call it MGI for Major internet gateway) connected serial to the unix box. the MGI machine runs uucico to log on to the unix box and get its mail.. right now in my Log file im getting ERROR:/etc/uucp/port: fopen: Permission denied im not sure what isnt set right im going with the basic out of the box install from your ftp site. i thougth this might have to do with the port.sample file which i copied to the directory it said (/usr/local/conf/uucp) and i only changet the modem to direct since i assume i need this in there with the serial connection .. i also tried renaming it just to port in the /usr/local/conf/uucp and in the etc/uucp directory. id appreciate any help you can give me on setting these config files up properly for a direct serial connection. also im having trouble with the mailing which also relates to the above in a way.. right now i have unix.flnet.com , flnet.com, and cyberstation.flnet.com mail coming into the unix box.. anything written to unix.flnet.com gets prcessed correctly anything else gets sent to the root with a local configuration error. what i want to be able to do is have anything with flnet.com or cyberstation.flnet.com to go out and be retrieved via the MGI machine which is loggin in under the uucp account. is this a configuration set for sendmail.cf? if so what and how do i change it.. id very much appreciate any help you can give me on this since im just learning unix as im setting it up.
