NAME
uucheck - Checks for files and directories required by uucp SYNOPSIS
uucheck [-v] [-xdebug_level] FLAGS
Displays a detailed explanation of how the uucp program interprets the permissions file. Displays debugging information. The valid range for debug_level is 0 to 9. The higher the number, the more detailed the final report. DESCRIPTION
The uucheck command verifies the presence of the files and directories required by the uucp program. In addition to checking for the pres- ence of files required by uucp, the uucheck command also checks for some errors in the /usr/lib/uucp/Permissions file. The uucheck command does not check for correct file and directory modes or for errors in the /usr/lib/uucp/Permissions file, such as dupli- cate login or machine names. When the uucp program is installed, uucheck verifies that the directories, programs, and support files required to operate the networking facility are present. The command is executed automatically, as one of the first steps in the installation process, before the required uucp directories, programs, and files are actually installed. Issue the uucheck command from the command line after installing uucp, configuring uucp for your site, or making changes in part of the uucp program, such as the /usr/lib/uucp/Permissions file. Note that the uucheck command can only be issued from the command line if you have superuser authority. EXAMPLES
To find out how the uucp program interprets the /usr/lib/uucp/Permissions file, enter: uucheck -v The -v flag instructs the uucheck command to verify that the uucp files exist and displays a detailed explanation of how the uucp programs interpret the permissions file. To set the debug level to 8, enter: uucheck -x8 FILES

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
