UUCP directories and files

The directories associated with UUCP are:

/usr/spool/uucppublic, the public UUCP directory that is the default directory for storing files that have been transferred to the local system by uucp.
/usr/spool/uucppublic/receive, a subdirectory in the public directory for files sent from remote systems using uuto.
/usr/spool/uucp, the spool directory that holds all work requests and all log files for UUCP.
/usr/spool/uucp/.Sequence, a subdirectory for sequence files used by uucp and uucico.
/usr/spool/uucp/.Status, a subdirectory containing status files for each remote system.
/usr/spool/uucp/.Xqtdir, the working directory for uuxqt.
/samples, the directory that sample configuration files are shipped in.
/usr/lib/uucp, the directory that customized configuration files reside in.

As of z/OS® V1R13, /usr/spool is configured as a symbolic link to /var/spool. Also, the configuration files now reside in /var/uucp with symbolic links directed from /usr/lib/uucp for each file. The setup commands in this topic can still be performed using the original root directory as documented, whereby the symbolic link will redirect them as necessary. See Customizing the cron, uucp, and mail utilities for a read-only root file system for more information.
