NAME
uucpd - UUCP over TCP/IP server daemon
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/uucpd
DESCRIPTION
The uucp commands, including uucpd, are targeted for removal from HP-UX; see the WARNINGS
below.
uucpd is the server for supporting UUCP connections over TCP/IP networks.
uucpd is invoked by inetd(1M) when a UUCP connection is established (that is, a connection to the port
indicated in the "uucp" service specification; see services (4)), and executes the following protocol:
1) The server prompts with "login:", the
uucico process at the other end must supply a user-
name.
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 is valid but refers to an account that does not have
/usr/lbin/uucp/uucico
as its login shell, or if the password is not the correct password for that
account, the connection is dropped. Otherwise, uucico(1M) is run. Entries are made in
/var/adm/wtmps traceable with who(1) and last(1).
PROTOCOL RESTRICTION
Only ’g’ protocol for
uucico is supported.
DIAGNOSTICS
All diagnostic messages are returned on the connection, after which the connection is closed.
user read
An error occurred while reading the username.
passwd read
An error occurred while reading the password.
login incorrect
The username or the password is invalid or the user’s login shell for this account is not
/usr/lbin/uucp/uucico
.
WARNINGS
Use of
uucp commands, including uucpd, is discouraged because they are targeted for removal from
HP-UX. Use ftp(1) or rcp(1) instead.
On Trusted Systems
uucpd prohibits uucico to start if any of the following are true :
• the login account is locked (several causes).
• current time doesn’t match existing time-of-day restrictions for this account.
Under such conditions uucpd will return the message login incorrect to the connection. The con-
nection is then dropped.
AUTHOR
uucpd was developed by the University of California, Berkeley and HP.
