       L.cmds - UUCP remote command permissions file

DDEESSCCRRIIPPTTIIOONN
       The _L_._c_m_d_s file contains a list of commands, one per line,
       that are permitted for remote execution via _u_u_x(1C).

       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 request-
       ing site after the command completes. If a command name is
       suffixed with  ,,EErrrroorr,  then  an  acknowledgment  will  be
       mailed  only if the command fails.  If the command is suf-
       fixed with ,,NNoo, then no acknowledgment will ever be  sent.
       (These  correspond  with  the  --zz  and  --nn options of _u_u_x,
       respectively.)

       For most sites, _L_._c_m_d_s 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  _u_u_x  commands
       will  be  checked against the list of accessible directory
       trees in _U_S_E_R_F_I_L_E(5), this check  can  be  easily  circum-
       vented  and  should not be depended upon.  In other words,
       it is unwise to include any commands in _L_._c_m_d_s that accept
       local  file  names.  In  particular,  _s_h(1) and _c_s_h(1) are
       extreme risks.

       It is  common  (but  hazardous)  to  include  _u_u_c_p(1C)  in
       _L_._c_m_d_s; see the NOTES section of _U_S_E_R_F_I_L_E.
