Error UUCP attack?

Is this an attack attempt? I got an e-mail from 'uucp Admin' last night and again this morning:

Quote:
remote execution [uucp job chesterA4f49 (10/13-17:23:32)]
page 5024196167 STARTED retry
execution permission denied to chester!root

remote execution [uucp job chesterA4f4b (10/14-4:09:18)]
page 5024196167 PROCESS retry
execution permission denied to chester!root
What does it mean and what can I do about it? Thanks

UUXQT(8)						      System Manager's Manual							  UUXQT(8)

NAME
uuxqt - UUCP execution file interpreter SYNOPSIS
/usr/libexec/uuxqt [ -xdebug ] DESCRIPTION
Uuxqt interprets execution files created on a remote system via uux(1) and transferred to the local system via uucico(8). When a user uses uux to request remote command execution, it is uuxqt that actually executes the command. Normally, uuxqt is forked from uucico to process queued execution files; for debugging, it may also be run manually by the UUCP administrator. Uuxqt runs in its own subdirectory, /usr/spool/uucp/XTMP. It copies intermediate files to this directory when necessary. FILES
/etc/uucp/L.cmds Remote command permissions list /etc/uucp/USERFILE Remote directory tree permissions list /usr/spool/uucp/LOGFILE UUCP system activity log /usr/spool/uucp/LCK/LCK.XQT Uuxqt lock file /usr/spool/uucp/X./ Incoming execution file directory /usr/spool/uucp/XTMP Uuxqt running directory SEE ALSO
uucp(1), uux(1), L.cmds(5), USERFILE(5), uucico(8) 4.3 Berkeley Distribution October 23, 1996 UUXQT(8)
