I guess the answer should be that (a,b,c)$(a,b,c)$ fills the line if and only if there is an integral combination of its permutations equaling (1,1,1)$(1,1,1)$. More later We want the elementary divisors of a certain $3 \times 6$ matrix. Working out explicit conditions should be do-able. I wonder if there is a slick argument. typing on

There is also a neat connection with semi-magic squares, I think.

When allowing longer vectors which are permutations of $(a,b,c,0,\dots,0)$, it feels like their Frobenius number is the truth, but again with some extra necessary divisibility conditions.

(Sorry if my phone nowquestion was elementary.)
