NAME
       remote.unknown - Logs access attempts by unknown remote systems

SYNOPSIS
       /usr/lib/uucp/remote.unknown

DESCRIPTION
       The /usr/lib/uucp/remote.unknown file contains a shell procedure. It is
       executed by the uucp program when a remote computer that is not	listed
       in  the	local  /usr/lib/uucp/Systems file attempts to communicate with
       that local system.  The uucp program does not permit the unknown remote
       system  to  connect with the local system.  Instead, the remote.unknown
       shell	procedure     appends	  an	 entry	   to	  the	  file
       /usr/spool/uucp/.Admin/Foreign.

       Modify  the  remote.unknown  file  to  fit the needs of your site.  For
       example, to allow unknown systems to contact your  system,  remove  the
       execute	permissions  for  the remote.unknown file. You can also modify
       the shell script to send mail to the uucp administrator or to recognize
       certain systems and reject others.

       Only someone with superuser authority can edit the remote.unknown file,
       which is owned by the uucp program login ID.

FILES
       Contains all configuration files for uucp, including the remote.unknown
       file  Describes	accessible  remote  systems  Lists  access attempts by
       unknown systems
