NAME

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/lib/uucp/.Admin/Foreign

DESCRIPTION

       The  /usr/lib/uucp/.Admin/Foreign  file lists access attempts by unknown systems.  The /usr/lib/uucp/remote.unknown shell script appends an
       entry to the Foreign file each time a remote computer that is not listed in the local /usr/lib/uucp/Systems file  attempts  to  communicate
       with that local system.

       Someone	with  superuser  authority  can  customize  entries  in  the  Foreign  file  to  fit the needs of a specific site by modifying the
       remote.unknown shell script.

EXAMPLES

       The following is a sample entry in the Foreign file:

       Wed Sep 20 20:38:22 CDT 1989: call from the system merlin

       System merlin, which is not listed in the /usr/lib/uucp/Systems file, attempted to log in on September 20 at 10:38 p.m., but the uucp  pro-
       gram did not allow the unknown system to log in.
