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)
