/etc/uucp/Limits File

The /etc/uucp/Limits file controls the maximum number of simultaneous uucicos, uuxqts, and uuscheds that are running in the uucp networking. In most cases, the default values are fine and no changes are needed. If you want to change them, however, use any text editor.

The format of the Limits file is:

service=x max=y:

x can be uucico, uuxqt or uusched, and y is the limit permitted for that service. The fields can be in any order and in lowercase.

The following entries should most commonly be used in the Limits file:

service=uucico max=5 
service=uuxqt max=5 
service=uusched max=2 

The example allows five uucicos, five uuxqts, and two uuscheds running on your machine.
