uucheck(8)uucheck(8)NAMEuucheck - Checks for files and directories required by uucp
SYNOPSISuucheck [-v] [-x debug_level]
OPTIONS
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 presence
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, such as duplicate login or machine names, in the
/usr/lib/uucp/Permissions file.
When the uucp program is installed, uucheck verifies that the directo‐
ries, 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 (for example, after changing the /usr/lib/uucp/Permissions
file).
You can issue the uucheck command from the command line only if you
have superuser authority.
EXAMPLES
To find out how the uucp program interprets the /usr/lib/uucp/Permis‐
sions 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-x 8
