Which FreeBSD ? 1.0.x and 1.1R come with Taylor 1.04 and -current (and 1.1.5 have 1.05). >We seem to have version 1.04, but it seems to have permissions trouble >no matter what I do.

Are you sure the permissions are good for all the executables and the uucp directories ? -r-sr-xr-x 1 uucp 77824 May 19 22:27 /usr/bin/uucp* -r-xr-xr-x 1 bin 53248 May 19 22:27 /usr/bin/uulog* -r-sr-xr-x 1 uucp 36864 May 19 22:27 /usr/bin/uuname* -r-xr-xr-x 1 bin 57344 May 19 22:27 /usr/bin/uupick* -r-xr-xr-x 1 bin 323 May 19 22:27 /usr/bin/uusched* -r-sr-xr-x 1 uucp 86016 May 19 22:27 /usr/bin/uustat* -r-xr-xr-x 1 bin 509 May 19 22:27 /usr/bin/uuto* -r-sr-xr-x 1 uucp 77824 May 19 22:27 /usr/bin/uux* /usr/libexec/uucp: -r-xr-xr-x 1 uucp 53248 May 19 22:27 uuchk* -r-sr-xr-x 1 uucp 188416 May 19 22:27 uucico* -r-xr-xr-x 1 uucp 73728 May 19 22:27 uuconv* -r-sr-xr-x 1 uucp 86016 May 19 22:27 uuxqt* /var/spool/uucp: drwxr-xr-x 17 uucp 512 Jun 13 20:14 /var/spool/uucp -rw-r--r-- 1 uucp 12109 Jun 12 19:48 Debug -rw-r--r-- 1 uucp 399804 Jun 13 20:14 Log -rw-r--r-- 1 uucp 189577 Jun 13 20:13 Stats drwxr-xr-x 5 uucp 512 May 25 22:25 amelie/ drwxr-xr-x 5 uucp 512 Jun 1 20:19 fasterix/ drwxr-xr-x 6 uucp 512 Sep 29 1993 gwynedd/ drwxr-xr-x 5 uucp 512 Oct 10 1993 itesec/ drwxr-xr-x 5 uucp 512 May 9 22:15 nataa/ drwxr-xr-x 5 uucp 512 Sep 29 1993 renux/ >So I got version 1.05 and tried that.

The best is to upgrade to 1.1R or wait for 1.1.5. I'm pretty sure that if you get a decent "sh", you should ne able to compile Taylor 1.05 right of the box. You can even take -current's uucp (in gnu/libexec/uucp) and compile it. I run 1.04 and now 1.05 now for a year and a half (even with 386BSD) to get my Mail/News and never had a probleme compiling/setting up it ... -- Ollivier ROBERT roberto@hsc.fr.net Hervé Schauer Consultants Ollivier.Robert@keltia.frmug.fr.net PERL / MIME / PGP 2.6ui FreeBSD keltia 1.1.0(Current) CURRENT_099#0 i386
