L.CMDS(5)	    UNIX Programmer's Manual		L.CMDS(5)


NAME
     L.cmds - UUCP remote command permissions file

DESCRIPTION
     The L.cmds file contains a list of commands, one per line,
     that are permitted for remote execution via uux(1).

     The default search path is /bin:/usr/bin:/usr/ucb. To change
     the path, include anywhere in the file a line of the form:

	  PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/ucb

     Normally, an acknowledgment is mailed back to the requesting
     site after the command completes. If a command name is suf-
     fixed with ,Error, then an acknowledgment will be mailed
     only if the command fails.  If the command is suffixed with
     ,No, then no acknowledgment will ever be sent. (These
     correspond with the -z and -n options of uux, respectively.)

     For most sites, L.cmds should only include the lines:

	  rmail
	  ruusend

     News sites should add:

	  PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/ucb:/usr/new
	  rnews,Error

     While file names supplied as arguments to uux commands will
     be checked against the list of accessible directory trees in
     USERFILE(5), this check can be easily circumvented and
     should not be depended upon.  In other words, it is unwise
     to include any commands in L.cmds that accept local file
     names. In particular, sh(1) and csh(1) are extreme risks.

     It is common (but hazardous) to include uucp(1) in L.cmds;
     see the NOTES section of USERFILE.
