Hi all,

finally got exim up and running with uucp. Everything seemed to work: I  
received email, even could send it.

But when I got news via uucp, the uupoll gave me error-messages and sent  
the following emails to root:

------------------------------ schnipp -------------------------------

Message from UUCP on ntrulez Thu Feb  4 20:01:06 1999

Your execution request failed because you are not permitted to execute
        rnews
on this system.
Execution requested was:
        rnews

What's wrong? I did uupoll as root, don't understand this. Could someone  
please tell me which commands to "man" and/or to issue? Do I need  
additional software, besides UUCP, exim (kind of sendmail), procmail and  
pine?

Another mail was sent to root:

------------------------------ schnipp -------------------------------

A UUCP execution request failed:
        rnews
The request was made by
        downtown!news
The following files have been saved:
        /var/spool/uucp/.Failed/downtown/X./X.downtowdcc58
        /var/spool/uucp/.Failed/downtown/D./D.downtowdcc58

------------------------------ schnapp -------------------------------

So the good thing is: the news are saved, but how do I get them back?  
Which command do I need to run in order to re-try and deliver the news?

Thanks for your help and kind regards

Frederick
