If you use uucp then you use Unix-to-Unix-CoPy and it does what it says. Then the you should use ~user_name (remember to escape the~) to expand to the home-dir of user on the remote machine. If you want to send mail (to an MTA), then you should use the rmail program. By default you are allowed to run *rmail* and *rnews* on remote hosts. But you should never have to execute in by hand (can't tell you the exact call because of that). Peter. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
