Hi All!

I have BSDi 2.0 with patches.

I have a number of UUCP accounts, which are used for email purposes,
and work fine.

I have a customer who wants to receive netnews via UUCP, and I under-
stand that our sys admin has to take some action to configure this
customer's UUCP account so that netnews articles get fed to him.

Is there any reasonable documentation on how to set this up anywhere?
I have seen posts in this group from other people asking essentially
the same thing, but I haven't seen any answers.  The customer tried
to read news via their UUCP, but of course got lots of errors.

Any pointer appreciated!  Thanks.
