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!

----- Looks to me as though nuucp is "no login" now. That's what the :x: (or any other one character) does. If you change that to :: you will have a start at it. ----- Esix uses a shadow password file, so all entries in passwd have an 'x' for the password field.

"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
