L.CMDS(8)                                               L.CMDS(8)


NAME
       L.cmds - UUCP remote command permissions file

DESCRIPTION
       The L.cmds file contains a list of commands, one per line,
       that are permitted for remote execution via uux(1).

       The default  search  path  is  /bin:/usr/bin:/usr/ucb.  To
       change  the  path,  include anywhere in the file a line of
       the form:

            PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/ucb

       Normally,  an  acknowledgment  is  mailed  back   to   the
       requesting  site after the command completes. If a command
       name is suffixed with ,Error, then an acknowledgment  will
       be  mailed  only  if the command fails.  If the command is
       suffixed with ,No, then no  acknowledgment  will  ever  be
       sent. (These correspond with the -z and -n options of uux,
       respectively.)

       For most sites, L.cmds should only include the lines:

            rmail
            ruusend

       News sites should add:

            PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/ucb:/usr/new
            rnews,Error

       While file names supplied as  arguments  to  uux  commands
       will  be  checked against the list of accessible directory
       trees  in  USERFILE(5),   this   check   can   be   easily
       circumvented  and  should  not be depended upon.  In other
       words, it is unwise to include any commands in L.cmds that
       accept  local  file names. In particular, sh(1) and csh(1)
       are extreme risks.

       It is common (but hazardous) to include uucp(1) in L.cmds;
       see the NOTES section of USERFILE.
