    Problem Summary This test may fail, because there is no write permission to
    /var/spool/uucppublic/uucp_dir_28_1, when the above destination
    directory is created
    by testsuite. So, when uucp tries to copy multiple files this
    destination directory, the permission denied
    Problem Text A small work around is shown below to justify the problem summary.

    $ hostname
    isv179
    $ pwd
    /tet/vsc
    $ touch a
    $ touch b
    $ which uucp
    /usr/bin/uucp
    $ ls -l /var/spool/uucppublic
    total 2
    drwxrwxrwx 3 vsc0 vscg0 512 Jul 16 18:15 receive
    $ mkdir /var/spool/uucppublic/uucp_dir_28_1
    $ ls -ld /var/spool/uucppublic/uucp_dir_28_1
    drwxr-xr-x 2 vsc0 vscg0 512 Aug 11 15:25
    /var/spool/uucppublic/uucp_dir_28_1
    $ uucp a b isv179!~/uucp_dir_28_1
    permission denied
    uucp failed partially: 0 file(s) sent; 1 error(s)
    $ echo $?
    1
    $
    The above problem happens, when there is no 777 permission for the
    directory /var/spool/uucppublic/uucp_dir_28_1. But, when we change the
    permission of the directory as shown below, the following is observed.

    $ chmod 777 /var/spool/uucppublic/uucp_dir_28_1
    $ ls -ld /var/spool/uucppublic/uucp_dir_28_1
    drwxrwxrwx 2 vsc0 vscg0 512 Aug 11 15:25
    /var/spool/uucppublic/uucp_dir_28_1
    $ uucp a b /var/spool/uucppublic/uucp_dir_28_1
    $ echo $?
    0
    $ ls -l /var/spool/uucppublic/uucp_dir_28_1
    total 0
    -rw-r--r-- 1 vsc0 vscg0 0 Aug 11 16:04 a
    -rw-r--r-- 1 vsc0 vscg0 0 Aug 11 16:04 b


    Now uucp is successful in Copying multiple files to a destination
    directory. Hence a test-suite deficeincy is observed. A waiver is
    requested for this problem.
    Test Output When the test gets executed, the following is observed
