The default configuration does not contain sample crontab entries for UUCP. You have to add them manually, in particular, you need to run /usr/libexec/uucp/uucico (with some flags) on a regular basis. It's hard to tell remotely what might be most appropriate for your environment. > Did I set some uucp config up wrong?

Run info(1), and select the UUCP section. Taylor UUCP documentation is in Texinfo format originally. You could use HDB-UUCP config files (Bear book) if you want, but it's not really recommendable; Taylor config files are more rationale and more powerful. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
