SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

     uucpd

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     The uucpd daemon reads a username and password, and then executes uucico,
     the  UUCP file transfer daemon, if the username and password
match a valid
     account  and  the  account's  shell  is  ``/usr/local/libexec/uucp/uucico''.

     uucpd is started by inetd(8) and uucico.

     Note:  uucico  is  not  part of the base OpenBSD system.  It
comes as part of
     the uucp suite, and can be installed via ports(7)  or  packages(7).
