I did recompile uucp myself to change the location of the spool (to my 
home directory). I did not ask the DSA because I thought they would not 
agree to add my dedicated pubkey to uucp's authorized keys or create a 
configuration for me (in /etc/uucp/{sys,passwd} at least).

I'm neither a UUCP expert not a UUCP fan. I first played with UUCP a few 
weeks ago, but it looked rike the right tool to me.

Just curious, what do you dislike in UUCP?
