 uuinstall(ADM)                  19 June 1992                  uuinstall(ADM)


 Name

    uuinstall - administer UUCP control files

 Syntax

    /etc/uuinstall [ -r ]

 Description

    The uuinstall program is used to manage the content of the control files
    used by the UUCP communications system.  It allows users to change the
    contents of these files without using a text editor. Users need not know
    the detailed format of each of the control files, although they must be
    familiar with the function of the various fields within the files.  These
    details are explained in the System Administrator's Guide.

    The uuinstall program can only be executed by the super user.  When
    invoked with the optional -r flag, uuinstall will not allow any of the
    files to be modified whether or not the user has made changes to the
    files.

    If uuinstall finds any of the required uucp control files missing from
    the system, it will create them with the correct access permissions and
    ownership.

 Files

    /etc/systemid
    /usr/lib/uucp/Systems
    /usr/lib/uucp/Permissions
    /usr/lib/uucp/Devices
