SYSTEMS(F)               XENIX System V                SYSTEMS(F)



     Name
          systems - Format of UUCP Systems file.

     Description
          The Systems file (/usr/lib/uucp/Systems) contains the
          information needed by the uucico daemon to establish a
          communication link to a remote computer.  Each entry in the
          file represents a computer that your computer can call.  You
          can configure the Systems file to prevent unauthorized
          computers from logging in on your computer. More than one
          entry may be present for a particular computer.  These
          additional entries represent alternative communication paths
          which the computer tries in sequential order.

          Each entry in the Systems file has the following format:

               sitename schedule device speed phone login-script


               sitename   field contains the node name of the remote
                          computer.

               schedule   field is a string that indicates the day-
                          of-week and time-of-day when the remote
                          computer can be called.

               device     is the device type that should be used to
                          establish the communication link to the
                          remote computer.

               speed      indicates the transfer speed of the device
                          used in establishing the communication link.

               phone      provides the phone number of the remote
                          computer for automatic dialers.  If you wish
                          to create a portable Systems file that can
                          be used at a number of sites where the
                          dialing prefixes differ, see the
                          dialcodes(F) man page.

               login-scripcontains login information (also known as a
                          ``chat script'').
