uucp:*:3:5:UUCP Owner:/usr/lib/uucp:/bin/csh nuucp::10:10:Remote UUCP User:/var/spool/uucppublic:/usr/lib/uucp/uucicoOn a newly installed station, neither uucp nor nuucp has a password. It is a good idea to put an asterisk (*) in the password field for uucp, since no one should log in as uucp. You need to assign nuucp a valid password that matches the password you assign for nuucp in the Systems file. (See "The Systems File".) Assign nuucp the password "secret" with the command:
passwd nuucp
New
password:
secretRe-enter new password: secret
uucp::5:uucp nuucp::10:nuucp
For complete information on the uugetty command, see the uugetty(1M) reference page. As usual, any time you make a change to the /etc/inittab, you must use the telinit q command to tell init to read the file again. Issue the following command:
t2:23:respawn:/usr/lib/uucp/uugetty -Nt 60 ttyf2 co_9600#pt 2
/etc/telinit q

Note: The permission of the Systems file is read-only. If you edit this file, you may have to use a forced write in order to save your changes. Consult the jot or vi reference page for more information. The first field specifies the name of a station that can call the local station.

Note: This entry must be interpreted as a single line, even if it expands to more than one physical line. This entry specifies that the user, nuucp, is allowed to log in from the local station (japan). The nuucp user on japan may read any files that reside in /var/spool/uucp/uucppublic directory and write to the general public directory /var/spool/uucppublic. The users on japan may request files. The users on us can send files.
