uucpd(1M)                                               uucpd(1M)



NAME
     uucpd - handles the transfer of files by uucico over  TCP/IP
     connections

SYNOPSIS
     /etc/uucpd

DESCRIPTION
     uucpd is the server for supporting connections by uucico
     over TCP/IP networks. It is invoked by inetd, as specified
     in the /etc/servers file, when a uucico connection is
     requested. When invoked, uucpd issues the login prompt. The
     uucico process that is logging in must supply a login name.
     Regardless of whether the account associated with the login
     name has a password, uucpd issues the password prompt. The
     uucico process must supply a password or send a return
     character.  If the login name is not valid, if the login
     name refers to an account that does not have uucico as its
     login shell, or if the password is not correct, uucpd drops
     the connection. Otherwise, uucpd invokes uucico with the
     user ID, group ID, and home directory for that account and
     with the environment variable LOGNAME set to the specified
     login name.  In addition, uucpd updates the file /etc/wtmp,
     which is used by the last command to display the names of
     users who have logged in.

STATUS MESSAGES AND VALUES
     All messages are returned on the connection, after which
     uucpd closes the connection. The messages are as follows:

     user read
          An error occurred while reading the login name.

     passwd read
          An error occurred while reading the password.

     Login incorrect
          The login name is invalid or refers to an account for
          which the login shell is other than
          /usr/lib/uucp/uucico, or the password is incorrect.

FILES
     /etc/services
          File containing the names of services and port numbers
     /etc/servers
          File containing server specifications
     /etc/uucpd
          Executable file
     /etc/wtmp
          File that records the names of users who log in
