NAME
     uucpd - UUCP over TCP/IP daemon

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/lib/uucp/uucpd [-na] [-x num] [-L logfile] [-u cmd]

DESCRIPTION
     uucpd allows the use of incoming UUCP connections over TCP/IP.  The
     UUCP/TCP server operates at the port indicated in the uucp service
     description; see services(4).  The server is normally started by
     inetd(1M).

     Any of the UUCP protocols supported by uucico can be used, but 'e' and
     't' are most common.

     uucpd relies primarily on the authentication mechanisms of uucico.
     However, it first obtains a username and password from the remote system,
     and checks them in much the same way as getty and login.  The shell,
     username, UID, and so forth for the account should the same as for a UUCP
     connection using modems.  An additional restriction is that the shell of
     the account must be the uucico program.

     The /etc/nologin file is honored by uucico.

     The uucpd options are:

     -n           (or nostrip) Turns off the stripping to 7-bits of the user
                  name and password that is normal done before they are
                  checked.

     -a           Verifies that the remote hostname and address match on all
                  incoming connections.

     -x num       Causes uucico to be invoked with -x num.  num must be a
                  single digit.

     -L logfile   Records the chatting for username and password in logfile.

     -u cmd       Specifies that cmd instead of /usr/lib/uucp/uucico must be
                  the shell of the account.
