Here are several bits of info which may solve a few questions I've seen
lately.
Login trouble:
=============
SysV to BSD: Many SysV use no parity, many BSD use even parity. When the
BSD calls the SysV put P_ZERO in the L.sys file entry, like
"" P_ZERO "" "" gin:--gin:-BREAK-gin: uucp ord: snafu
Access denied:
=============
A reasonably secure system might look a lot like this: uucico owned by
uucp, group uucp, mode 4710. Dialin uucp login UID **not** uucp, just
some normal user value, group uucp, login shell /usr/lib/uucp/uucico.
Directories in the default directory, normally /usr/spool/uucppublic,
are one per user to allow sending to site!~/user/ as a destination.
These directories should be as follows:
drwxrwx--- smith_l uucp 32 /usr/spool/uucppublic/smith_l

Hopefully this will help someone.
