Hey, folks!  Remember me, I'm the guy who asked the original question...

It had to do with how to get Taylor UUCP working.  All this about shells
is very well (and I did get bash and can now 'bash configure' 1.05) but
I still can't make Taylor work for me.

Somebody, please, help me figure out what's going wrong with permissions.
I've checked, and my executables have the right permissions and suid-ness,
but crash on permission failure when I try any uucp thing that makes a
directory.  It appears that suidness is being renounced.

My guess is that I need a copy of policy.h and the output of 'configure'
(I forget its name) from some machine where things are working right.
