Forwarding

When sending files through a series of machines, the intermediary machines must have the command uucp among their COMMANDS options. That is, if you type the command:


% uucp sample.txt oak\!willow\!pine\!/usr/spool/uucppublic

This forwarding operation works only if machine willow permits oak to execute the program uucp, and if oak permits your machine to do the same. The machine pine, being the last machine designated, does not have to permit the command uucp. Machines are not normally set up this way.
