- .ss directory structure
-
- The new installation module should create the appropriate directory structure
- for you automatically. The following information is provided for informational
- and debugging purposes, should it be needed after initial installation. These
- paths are also referred to elsewhere regarding editing of configuration files.
-
- HOME: The directory in which all user directories go.
-
- MAN: The directory which holds all the manual and information files.
-
- LIB: This is the base path for control files used by UUCP and NEWS.
-
- LIB\NEWS: Usenet news control files.
-
- LIB\UUCP: UUCP control files.
-
- NEWS: This is where all Usenet news and related information is stored.
-
- NEWS\OUTGOING: outgoing batch information
-
- NEWS\[GROUPS]: newsgroups. Examples: \NEWS\REC\ARTS\STARTREK
- \NEWS\REC\HUMOR
- \NEWS\REC\HUMOR\FUNNY
-
- Whereas newsgroups are seperated by a "." in actual use, the articles
- are stored in directories in which the "." has been replaced by a "\".
-
- SPOOL: This is where all outgoing and incoming mail and news is stored.
-
- SPOOL\MAIL: All local mailboxes are stored here.
-
- SPOOL\NEWS: Temporary news storage space, news logs and arbitron results.
-
- SPOOL\UUCP: This is the base directory for all UUCP file storage. There are
- directories for each system that you talk to, which contains
- outgoing and incoming data and command files for that system.
- UUCICO transports files in and out of these directories, and
- UUXQT executes those command files which are bound for your
- system, or which your system needs to handle.
-
- SPOOL\UUCP\TMP: Temporary UUCP file storage space.
-
- SPOOL\UUCP\[SYSTEM]: A directory for each system you poll (up to 8 chars).
- This directory holds incoming files.
-
- SPOOL\UUCP\[SYSTEM]\[GRADE]: Outgoing UUCP files.
-
- NOTE: Please be sure that you use up to the full 8 characters! FSUUCP
- now supports full system directory names. If a system name is
- less than 8 characters, that's fine.
-
- FSUUCP will create spool directories that need to exist if they
- already don't.
