6 L.cmds - UUCP remote command permissions file
7
9 The L.cmds file contains a list of commands, one per line, that are
10 permitted for remote execution via uux(1).
11
12 The default search path is /bin:/usr/bin:/usr/ucb. To change the path,
13 include anywhere in the file a line of the form:
14
15 PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/ucb
16
17 Normally, an acknowledgment is mailed back to the requesting site after
18 the command completes. If a command name is suffixed with ,Error, then
19 an acknowledgment will be mailed only if the command fails. If the
20 command is suffixed with ,No, then no acknowledgment will ever be sent.
21 (These correspond with the -z and -n options of uux, respectively.)
22
23 For most sites, L.cmds should only include the lines:
24
25 rmail
26 ruusend
27
28 News sites should add:
29
30 PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/ucb:/usr/new
31 rnews,Error
32
33 While file names supplied as arguments to uux commands will be checked
34 against the list of accessible directory trees in USERFILE(5), this
35 check can be easily circumvented and should not be depended upon. In
36 other words, it is unwise to include any commands in L.cmds that accept
37 local file names. In particular, sh(1) and csh(1) are extreme risks.
38
39 It is common (but hazardous) to include uucp(1) in L.cmds; see the
40 NOTES section of USERFILE.
