  I took a look at that parameter in the config file.. it looked 
missing.  I added it (run-uuxqt 1) and forced a systemcall to my uucp 
routing host...  It grabbed new mail, and dumped it into the 
/var/spool/uucp/Umoto directory and subdirectories.  (D. and X.) 
However, it is still not running anything.  It seems to just queue up the 
requests from the UUCP host, waiting for some system event.

   Did I set some uucp config up wrong?  I keep looking at the UUCP Bear 
book but the format of the files is different... and the files aren't the 
same.  Is there some documentation for FreeBSD UUCP somewhere that I am 
missing?  Does my system have a multiple personality disorder which 
causes it to deny the fact that it is who the UUCP host thinks it is?  
Will they ever put SuperChicken back on TV on saturday mornings? 
erm... nevermind that last bit...  

any Ideas?  

Thanks in advance,
