UUCP's task is to copy files from one system to another, and to request
|
|
execution of certain commands on remote hosts. Of course, you as an
|
|
administrator would want to control what rights you grant other
|
|
systems-- allowing them to execute any command on your system is
|
|
definitely not a good idea.

By default, the only commands Taylor UUCP allows other systems to
|
|
execute on your machine are rmail and rnews, which are
|
|
commonly used to to exchange email and Usent news over UUCP. The default
|
|
search path used by uuxqt is a compile-time option, but should
|
|
usually contain /bin, /usr/bin, and /usr/local/bin.
|
|
To change the set of commands for a particular system, you can use the
|
|
commands keyword in the sys file. Similarly, the search
|
|
path can be changed with the command-path statement. For
|
|
instance, you may want to allow system pablo to execute the
|
|
rsmtp command in addition to rmail and
|
|
rnews:<A HREF="footnode.html#6617"><IMG ALIGN=BOTTOM ALT="gif" SRC="foot_motif.gif"></A>
