NAME
uucpd - UUCP over TCP/IP server daemon
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/uucpd
DESCRIPTION
uucpd is the server for supporting UUCP connections over TCP/IP networks.
uucpd is invoked by inetd (see 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 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 is valid but refers to an account that does not have
/usr/lbin/uucp/uucico
as its login shell, or when password authentication fails due to an incorrect
password to that account or due to the settings in
/etc/default/security
, connection is dropped.
Refer to the security(4) manual page for detailed information on configurable parameters that affect the
behavior of this command. If connection is successful,
uucico is run (see uucico(1M)). Entries are made
in /var/adm/wtmps traceable with the
who and last commands (see 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
.
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.

uucpd was developed by the University of California, Berkeley and HP.
