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

Data(4) Kernel Interfaces Manual Data(4) NAME
Data - Contains data to be sent to remote systems SYNOPSIS
/usr/spool/uucp/LocalSystemName/D.SystemNamexxxx### DESCRIPTION
Data (D.*) files contain the data to be sent to remote systems by the uucp uucico daemon. The full pathname of a data file is a form of the following: /usr/spool/uucp/SystemName/D.SystemNamexxxx### where the SystemName directory and the SystemName portion of the file name indicate the name of the remote system. The xxxx### notation is the hexadecimal sequence number of the Command (C.*) file associated with that data file; for example, D.venus471afd8. After a set period of time (specified by the uusched daemon), the uucico daemon transfers the data file to the designated system. It places the original data file in a subdirectory of the uucp spooling directory named /usr/spool/uucp/SystemName, where the SystemName directory is named for the computer that is transmitting the file, and creates a Temporary (TM.*) file to hold the original data file. After receiving the entire file, the uucp program takes one of three actions: If the file was sent with the uucp command and there were no transfer problems, the program immediately renames the TM.* file with the appropriate data filename, such as D.venus471afd8, and sends it to the specified destination. If the file was sent with the uuto command, the uucp program also renames the temporary data file with the appropriate D.* filename. It then places the data file in the public directory /usr/spool/uucppublic, where the user receives the data file and handles it with one of the uupick command options. If there were transfer problems (such as a failed login or an unavailable device), the temporary data file remains in the spooling subdirectory. The uudemon.cleanu command, a shell script, removes these files automatically at specified intervals, or they can be removed manually. FILES
