Yep.  You're correct.  I meant csh.


Also, I solved the problem.  It was a typo I'd made along the lines
of:

MACHINE=foo \
[various permissions] \
#                     ^ --  Here's the problem!

MACHINE=BAR
[various *different* permissions]


As I understand it, this caused uucp to read bar's permissions in
as well, and used those instead of the permissions I'd declared
for foo.  At least I *think* that's what happened.  I know it
worked when I removed the "\" after foo's permissions.
