USERFILE(5) File Formats Manual USERFILE(5)Name
USERFILE - defines uucp security
Syntax
/usr/lib/uucp/USERFILE
Description
The utility uses the USERFILE to establish what access a remote system can have to the local system. An entry should exist for each sys-
tem. If no entries exist for a particular system, the default entries are used. The entries for particular systems have the following
format:
login-name , node-name X # path-name
login-name
The name with which the remote system logs in.
node-name The name of the remote node.
X# The execution level for the remote system. The remote system can execute commands defined in the file that have an execution
level less than or equal to the number #.
path-name The remote system can access anything at the local system with this prefix.
Two entries must also be provided for systems not otherwise listed:
remote, X# path-name ...
local, X# path-name ...
These entries define the execution level and access pathnames for the local system and all remote systems not defined by specific entries.
Examples
remote, X1 /usr/spool/uucppublic
local, X9 /
max,systemY /usr/sources /usr/src/share
max,systemZ X3 /usr
In the above example, the node named systemY with the login name max has access to anything with the pathname prefixes and The node named
systemZ with the login name max can execute commands defined in with an execution level of 3 or lower. It can access anything with the
pathname prefix
Any other remote systems can execute commands defined in with an execution level of 1 or 0. They can access anything with the pathname
prefix of
Users on the local system can execute any of the commands defined in and access anything on the system.

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.
