Hi,
    I've been setting up a system a UUCP link on a FreeBSD 2.0.5R system.  
After playing with it for a few days and a few nights curled up with the 
bear and bat books.  I've finally got things working, somewhat.  My mail 
goes out ok, It is converted out of bang paths and into normal 
user@host format.  My problem lies in the incoming mail.  The remote 
system is delivering it to the right place; mail is getting to my 
machine, but it is not getting delivered locally.  For some reason my 
system is not rmailing the incoming messages to their appropriate 
places.  However it is just sitting in the spool directory... I am 
thinking this is because I don't have the right permissions set for the 
remote uucp... however, I can't find the Permissions file... can someone 
help or point me to some FAQ for uucp on Freebsd?  

Any help would be appreciated.

Jay K.

  It's kinda frustrating when people you know remind you of things that
you've said.  Especially if you were right in the first place.
