In FreeBSD, the uucppublic directory is located at /var/spool/uucppublic In System V, it is located at /usr/spool/uucppublic I thought /usr/spool/uucppublic was a defacto standard. What are BSD users actually doing? Create a link to /usr/spool/uucppulibc? Otherwise, I have to know which OS the other end is using before I can uucp. I have 3 unix boxes here at home and 3 more at work. It can get confusing if I am sending from machines to machines. What is the motivation behind use of /var?
