When compiling the UUCP suite to use Taylor-style logging, you have only three global log files, all of which reside in the spool directory. The main log file is named Log and contains all the information about established connections and transferred files. A typical excerpt looks like this (after a little reformatting to make it fit the page):
uucico pablo - (1994-05-28 17:15:01.66 539) Calling system pablo (port cua3)

The next important log file is Stats, which lists file transfer statistics. The section of Stats corresponding to the above transfer looks like this (again, the lines have been split to fit the page):
postmaster pablo (1994-05-28 17:15:44.78)
received 1714 bytes in 1.802 seconds (951 bytes/sec)

The third file is Debug. Debugging information is written here. If you use debugging, make sure this file has protection mode 600. Depending on the debug mode you select, it may contain the login and password you use to connect to the remote system.
If you have some tools around that expect your log files to be in the traditional format used by HDB-compatible UUCP implementations, you can also compile Taylor UUCP to produce HDB-style logs. This is simply a matter of enabling a compile-time option in config.h.
