   Subject: From OLC-log regarding uuname

   A user just reported that uuname does not work in the current athena
   environment. /usr/spool/uucp does not exist as a subdirectory.

   The user was looking actually for an address on the arpaanet so it was
   not needed.

   Question:
   Is the command uuname working with workstations?
   I tried it and got:

   ASSERT ERROR ()  pid: 13695  (2/28-17:15) CHDIR FAILED /usr/spool/uucp (-1)

Well, in my opinion it shouldn't work at all, since the uuname command
is supposed to report the names of your uucp neighbors, and workstations
don't have any...

Do you think there would be much enthusiasm for putting a (regularly
updated) copy of the uucp maps on the sipb filesystem?
