If the file is there, permissions should be: -r-sr-sr-x 1 uucp dialer 98304 Nov 22 10:03 /usr/bin/uustat -r--r--r-- 1 uucp uucp 730 Oct 5 11:08 /etc/uucp/sys If it's not, look and sys1.sample or sys2.sample. You'll have to create a similar file to describe the systems with which you connect. I also tend to put myself in the uucp and dialer groups for convenience, although it's not really recommended. -- Jay > > Regards, > > d. > > +-------------------------------------------------------+ > | Dean Hollister, | dean@odyssey.apana.org.au | > | Perth, Western Australia. | deanh@iinet.net.au | > +-------------------------------------------------------+ >
