Re: /var/spool/uucppublic
Hi! But he shouldn't get the idea that he doesn't need the uucp user and group, like I did (after reading that you shouldn't have users you don't need). OS upgrade goes awry. There IS a make.conf thing NOUUCP=true, but I haven't tried it yet, so can't say how well it works. I have tried it and can at least say that it has caused no problems to me. Upgraded from 4.6-RELEASE to RELENG_4_6. Mergemaster notified me that /etc/uucp and some uucp-related scripts in /etc/periodic/ exist only on old system so I deleted these once the upgrade was complete. I still left the uucp user and group intact, though. -- Toomas Aas | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://www.raad.tartu.ee/~toomas/ * I went to a general store, but they wouldn't let me buy anything specific.

Hi all The above dir is world writeable, so I just want to know if it is installed as part of the base system and that program/process uses that dir? Can I mount it as no-exec and no-suid?

Just delete the directory.
