I think, there is something wrong with your USERFILE. Due to a bug (or is
it a feature ?) in the UUCP there must be at least one line with an empty
systemname and one (note, this must be on a different line) with an empty
username in the USERFILE, or uuxqt will not work.
For example:
anyusercode, /anydirectory
, anysystemname /anydirectory
will work, but:
, /anydirectory
or:
anyuserode,anystystem /anydir
, /anydir
will not work, because the two empty names are on the same line.
To be safe, use the default Userfile provided with your system.
