Foreign(4) Kernel Interfaces Manual Foreign(4)NAME
Foreign - Logs contact attempts from unknown systems
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.

Temporary - Stores data files during transfers to remote systems
SYNOPSIS
/usr/spool/uucp/SystemName/TM.xxPID.000
DESCRIPTION
The uucp Temporary (TM.*) files store data files during transfers to remote systems. After a Data (D.*) file is transferred to a remote
system by the uucico daemon, the uucp program places it in a subdirectory of the uucp spooling directory named /usr/spool/uucp/SystemName,
where the SystemName directory is named for the computer that is transmitting the file. The uucp program creates a temporary data file to
hold the original data file.
The full pathname of the temporary data file is in the following format: /usr/spool/uucp/SystemName/TM.xxPID.000
where the SystemName directory is named for the computer that is sending the file, and TM.xxPID.000 is the name of the file; for example,
TM.00451.000. The PID variable is the process ID of the job.
FILES
Describes accessible remote systems Contains uucp command, data, and execute files Contain data to be transferred. Contain files that uucp
has transferred
