I want the uucp machine to call up via uucico (which it currently can do, I just don't have a login & password to get me uucp access) to our machine earth. It then needs to transfer news files to earth either directly to /usr/local/dnews/uucpin or to another directory where they can later be copied to /usr/local/dnews/uucpin. It also needs to retrieve any news waiting to go out via uucp from /usr/local/dnews/uucpout. That's pretty much it...like I said, the uucp machine is directly connected via null modem cable, so it gets to the login prompt, I just don't know how to set up earth. Config files are in /etc/uucp, I briefly played with them, but I'm not sure how it's supposed to work. Thanks a bunch! Richard
