Full Discussion: UUCP connections
Operating Systems SCO UUCP connections Post 302477066 by wjace on Friday 3rd of December 2010 07:37:28 AM

One server (lets call it SERVER A) is used as a landing zone for files.
There is about 1200 other servers sending files every few minutes to SERVER A via UUCP.

uulog shows hundreds and hundreds of PERMISSION DENIED errors.

Now the problem is SERVER B uucp to SERVER A and gets a PERMISSION DENIED error, but the next time uucp it goes through without errors.

I am thinking that because of all these connections happening all the time, sometimes it causes PERMISSION DENIED errors.

Is it possible, that that can be the cause.

All permissions is set correctly.

NAME
errors - Contains a record of uucico daemon errors SYNOPSIS
/usr/spool/uucp/.Admin/errors DESCRIPTION
The /usr/spool/uucp/.Admin/errors file contains a record of uucico daemon errors that the uucp program cannot correct. For example, if the uucico daemon is unable to access a directory that is needed for a file transfer, the uucp program records this in the errors file. If debugging is enabled for the uucico daemon, the uucp program sends the error messages to standard output instead of to the errors file. EXAMPLES
Following is the text of an error that might appear in the errors file: ASSERT ERROR (uucico) pid: 303 (7/18-8:25:09) SYS- TAT OPEN FAIL /usr/spool/uucp/.Status/ (21) [SCCSID: @(#)systat.c 7.2 87/07/08 16:43:37, FILE: systat.c, LINE:100] This error occurred on July 18 at 8:25:09 a.m. [(7/18-8:25:09)] when the uucico daemon, running as process 303 [(uucico) pid: 303], could not open the /usr/spool/uucp/.Status directory [SYSTAT OPEN FAIL /usr/spool/uucp/.Status/]. To prevent this error from occurring again, you should make sure the permissions for the .Status directory are correct. It should be owned by the uucp login ID and group uucp, with permissions of 777 (read, write, and execute for owner, group, and all others). FILES
Contains the errors file and other uucp administrative files Lists the last time a remote system was contacted and the minimum time until the next retry RELATED INFORMATION
