in.uucpd(1M)		System Administration Commands		  in.uucpd(1M)

NAME
       in.uucpd, uucpd - UUCP server

SYNOPSIS
       /usr/sbin/in.uucpd [-n]

DESCRIPTION
       in.uucpd is the server for supporting UUCP connections over networks.

       in.uucpd is invoked by inetd(1M) when a UUCP connection is established,
       that is, a connection to the port indicated in the "uucp" service spec‐
       ification, and executes the following protocol. See services(4):

       1.  The server prompts with login:. The uucico(1M) process at the other
	   end must supply a username.

       2.  Unless the username refers to an account without  a	password,  the
	   server then prompts with Password:. The uucico process at the other
	   end must supply the password for that account.

       If the username is not valid, or is valid but refers to an account that
       does  not have /usr/lib/uucp/uucico as its login shell, or if the pass‐
       word is not the correct password for that account,  the	connection  is
       dropped.	  Otherwise,  uucico is run, with the user ID, group ID, group
       set, and home directory for that account, with  the  environment	 vari‐
       ables  USER  and	  LOGNAME set to the specified username, and with a -u
       flag specifying the username. Unless the -n flag is specified,  entries
       are  made  in  /var/adm/utmpx, /var/adm/wtmpx, and /var/adm/lastlog for
       the username. in.uucpd must be invoked by a user with appropriate priv‐
       ilege (usually root) in order to be able to verify that the password is
       correct.

SECURITY
       in.uucpd uses pam(3PAM) for  authentication,  account  management,  and
       session	management.   The  PAM	configuration  policy,	listed through
       /etc/pam.conf, specifies the modules to be used for in.uucpd. Here is a
       partial	pam.conf file with entries for uucp using the UNIX authentica‐
       tion, account management, and session management module.

       uucp    auth requisite	       pam_authtok_get.so.1
       uucp    auth required	       pam_dhkeys.so.1
       uucp    auth required	       pam_unix_auth.so.1

       uucp    account requisite       pam_roles.so.1
       uucp    account required	       pam_projects.so.1
       uucp    account required	       pam_unix_account.so.1

       uucp	 session required      pam_unix_session.so.1

       If there are no entries for the uucp service, then the entries for  the
       "other"	service	 will  be used. If multiple authentication modules are
       listed, then the peer may be prompted for multiple passwords.

FILES
       /var/adm/utmpx	       accounting

       /var/adm/wtmpx	       accounting

       /var/adm/lastlog	       time of last login

DIAGNOSTICS
       All diagnostic messages are returned on the connection, after which the
       connection is closed.

       user read	       An error occurred while reading the username.

       passwd read	       An error occurred while reading the password.

       Login incorrect.	       The username is invalid or refers to an account
			       with    a    login     shell	other	  than
			       /usr/lib/uucp/uucico,  or  the  password is not
			       the correct password for the account.

NOTES
       The in.uucpd service is managed by  the	service	 management  facility,
       smf(5), under the service identifier:

       svc:/network/uucp

       Administrative actions on this service, such as enabling, disabling, or
       requesting restart, can be performed using  svcadm(1M).	Responsibility
       for  initiating	and restarting this service is delegated to inetd(1M).
       Use inetadm(1M) to make configuration changes and to view configuration
       information for this service. The service's status can be queried using
       the svcs(1) command.

       The pam_unix(5) module is no longer supported. Similar functionality is
       provided	  by   pam_authtok_check(5),   pam_authtok_get(5),   pam_auth‐
       tok_store(5), pam_dhkeys(5),  pam_passwd_auth(5),  pam_unix_account(5),
       pam_unix_auth(5), and pam_unix_session(5).
