I'm having trouble setting up anonymous uucp connections to my
Esis system. The symptoms are as follows: The remote system
connects, enters the username 'uucp', and gets immediately
disconnected. One time the remote system got the message
"system does not know me" or something along those lines.
I currently have no password on the nuucp account. When there was a
password, no systems were able to get in. Now there is one system that
can, but others can't. This doesnt' seem to make any sense...
What else can I check to find out why the connections are being
dropped?
Thanks in advance!
Excerpt from Permissions file:
# cd /usr/lib/uucp
# more Permissions
#ident "@(#)uucp:Permissions 1.4"
# This entry for public login.
# It provides the default permissions.
#LOGNAME=nuucp \
#MACHINE=OTHER \
#READ=/usr/spool/uucppublic \

MACHINE=OTHER \
READ=/usr/spool/uucppublic:/sources \

Other stuff:

Esix uses a shadow password file, so all entries in passwd have an 'x'
for the password field. Thanks for the feedback anyway.

"chmod -x /usr/lib/uucp/remote.unknown" and your problem will go away. It's even documented somewhere in the mass of manuals you've probably got. --karl
