NAME

6       L.cmds - UUCP remote command permissions file
7

DESCRIPTION

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.
