Greetings, Friends, I am in a situation with my one clients who use - (Yes that one again!!), uucp. Now their previous techies set all the user id's for the system to 0 (zero) Oh! and all the GID's as well. Now I have come in and had to fix this, but I get resistance. I have only one good reason why not to right now, with uucp on one site all the files are transfered but not removed from the queue, only when I set the user id to 14 (IIRC) and the GID to 512, and of course changed all the on the relevant configs and files, would it clean the remote queue. This reason however has been flawed as we have other sites that work properly with all the UID's and GID's set to 0 (zero). I need more reasons, explaining how this affects the system integrity, and functionality, the trick here is they don't give two hoots about the security aspect. So to win my case professionally and cleverly, I ask for real opinions and reasons. Could you please assist. -- -- Chadley Wilson Production Line Superintendant Pinnacle Micro Manufacturers of Proline Computers ==================================== Exercise freedom, Use LINUX =====================================
