NAME
     uucpd - UUCP network connection daemon

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/etc/uucpd

DESCRIPTION
     This command is run by the Internet daemon in response to
     requests made on the ``uucp'' service port as listed in the
     file /etc/services.  The resulting connection allows UUCP
     transfers over the network, removing the requirement for
     dedicated ports.

     This daemon acts as a login server to start UUCP connec-
     tions.  First, it prompts with the word ``login:'' and waits
     for the login name to be given.  If there is a password for
     the account (as is advisable), this is prompted for and
     checked.  The account used must have the login shell set to
     /usr/lib/uucp/uucico to be considered valid for this type of
     connection.

     Once a valid login has been established, the command
     /usr/lib/uucp/uucico is executed to begin the UUCP session.

     If it exists, the login accounting file /usr/adm/wtmp is
     updated upon establishing the session and upon completion.
