To run all of the commands requested by the remote site north:
uuxqt –s north
1. The uuxqt command is a security risk on all sites, because it allows outside
access to your computer. UUCP limits the danger by setting execute
permissions for every site in the configuration file. See the topic on Permissions
files in z/OS UNIX System Services Planning for more information.
2. uuxqt checks the command requests from each site against the list of allowed
commands and either runs them or sends a mail message that says:
Permission denied
uuxqt does not use localization environment variables.
uuxqt uses the following files:
/usr/lib/uucp/config
UUCP configuration file
/usr/spool/uucp/.Xqtdir
This file contains permissions for UUCP sites.
/usr/spool/uucp/.Sequence/sitename
Sequence file containing the four-digit sequence number of the last job
queued. If uuxqt requires a sequence number (for example, to mail a
message), it is based on the value in this file. If this file does not exist,
uuxqt creates it with the sequence number 0000. sitename is the name of a
remote site; each remote site has its own sequence file.
/usr/spool/uucp/site
Subdirectory containing commands from the UUCP host site (as well as all
work files and data files associated with site). The format of the execute
files is described in uucp.
/usr/spool/uucp/.Xqtdir
Working directory for uuxqt. All required files are copied here before uuxqt
runs a command.
