UUCPD(8)UUCPD(8)NAMEuucpd - UUCP server
SYNOPSIS
/usr/etc/in.uucpd [-flags]
DESCRIPTION
Uucpd is the server for supporting UUCP connections over
TCP/IP networks.
Uucpd is invoked by inetd(8) when a UUCP connection is
established (that is, a connection to the port indicated
in the uucp service specification; see services(5)), and
executes the following protocol:
1) The server prompts with `login: '. The uucico(8C)
process at the other end must supply a username.
2) Unless the username refers to an account without a
password, the server then prompts with `Password: '.
The uucico process at the other end must supply the
password for that account.
If the username is not valid, or if the password is not
the correct password for that account, the connection is
dropped. Otherwise, the specified user shell is run, with
the user ID, group ID, and access groups set, and home
directory for that account, with the environment variable
USER set to the specified username. Entries are made in
/var/log/wtmp and /var/log/lastlog for the username (if
writable).
Alternatively, if no inetd (8) program exists, (and if
invoked with the `-d' flag), uucpd may be invoked to act
as a listener process, forking off a copy to accept each
UUCP request as it arrives.
OPTIONS-d If uucpd has been compiled with NO_INETD defined, this
flag causes uucpd to act as a listener process.
-llevel
Turns on logging. A optional number following the
flag sets the level (default 1).
-Pparams
This flag changes the UUCP parameters filename from
the default [/etc/uucp/CONFIG].
-xlevel
If present, this flag is passed through to uucico.
PARAMETERS
Uucpd uses the following parameters (see uuparams(5)):
UUCP 1
UUCPD(8)UUCPD(8)
LOGDIR
Defines directory for logging records [default:
/var/log/uucp].
TELNETD
Define pathname for telnetd(8) if uucpd should pass
non-UUCICO accounts to telnetd.
UUCICO
Pathname for uucico(8) that is checked against user
shell path.
UUCICO_ONLY
`1' if you wish uucpd to only allow logins to accounts
with user shell = UUCICO. (Otherwise, if TELNETD is
non-null, it starts up telnetd(8) for non-UUCICO
accounts.)
FILES
/etc/uucp/CONFIG UUCP program parameters.
/var/log/lastlog Time of last login.
/var/log/wtmp Accounting.
LOGDIR/uucpd/uucpd Activity log if logging enabled.

DIAGNOSTICS
All diagnostic messages are returned on the connection,
after which the connection is closed.
... read error.
An error occurred while reading the username or
password.
Login incorrect.
The username is invalid or the password is not the
correct password for the account.
