Greetings!
A bit of confusion on my part, perhaps...
Shouldn't the uucp uid be that of the uucp *administrator*?
(i.e. the owner of the uucp files, processes, etc.). And,
shouldn't *other& id's be created to actually *service*
uucp connections (e.g., nuucp, xuucp, Ufoo, Ubar, etc.)?
As such, uucp's $HOME should be /etc/uucp and have a regular
shell -- while these other users (nuucp, etc.) would have
/var/spool/uucppublic (should that be /var/spool/uucp instead?)
and uucico, respectively, as their $HOME and shell?
Thanx!
