NAME

       uucpd  -  UUCP over TCP/IP server daemon

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

       is the server for supporting UUCP connections over TCP/IP networks.

       is  invoked  by	(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 process at the other end must supply a username.

       2) If the username refers to an account without a password, the server then prompts with "Password:".  The process at the  other  end  must
	  supply the password for that account.

       The connection is dropped if one or more of the following conditions occurs:

	      o  The username is not valid.

	      o  The username is valid but refers to an account that does not have as its login shell.

	      o  The password authentication fails due to an incorrect password to that account.

	      o  The  password	authentication	fails  due to the settings in Refer to the security(4) manpage for detailed information on config-
		 urable parameters that affect the password authentication.

       If the connection is successful, is run (see uucico(1M)).  Entries are made in traceable with the and commands (see who(1) and last(1)).

   Protocol Restriction
       Only the "g" protocol for is supported.

DIAGNOSTICS

       An error occurred while reading the password.

       The username or the password is invalid or the user's login
	      shell for this account is not

WARNINGS

       On Trusted Systems, prohibits to start if any of the following conditions are true :

	      o  The login account is locked (several causes).

	      o  The current time does not match existing time-of-day restrictions for this account.

       Under such conditions, will return the message to the connection.  The connection is then dropped.
