Taylor UUCP Configuration Files
*******************************

   This chapter describes the configuration files accepted by the Taylor
UUCP package if compiled with `HAVE_TAYLOR_CONFIG' set to 1 in
`policy.h'.

   The configuration files are normally found in the directory
NEWCONFIGDIR, which is defined by the `Makefile' variable
`newconfigdir'; by default NEWCONFIGDIR is `/usr/local/conf/uucp'.
However, the main configuration file, `config', is the only one which
must be in that directory, since it may specify a different location
for any or all of the other files.  You may run any of the UUCP
programs with a different main configuration file by using the `-I' or
`--config' option; this can be useful when testing a new configuration.
When you use the `-I' option the programs will revoke any setuid
privileges.
