UUCP Considerations
When using the Permissions file to restrict the
level of access granted to remote computers, you should consider the following:
-
All login IDs used by remote computers to log in for UUCP
communications must appear in one and only one LOGNAME
entry.
-
Any site that is called having a name that does
not appear in a MACHINE entry, has the following default
permissions or restrictions:
-
Local send and receive requests are executed.
-
The remote computer can send files to your computer's /var/spool/uucppublic directory.
-
The commands sent by the remote computer for execution
on your computer must be one of the default commands, usually rmail.
