Description Noses 1994-12-02 05:40:01 UTC 
	
Sites logging in via uucpd didn't get any uucico started. The reason is
very simple: uucpd tries to do an

execl(pw->pw_shell, "uucico", NULL);

but the uucico isn't found.

BTW: uucpd seems to be unable to use syslog... Strange indeed.

Fix: 

Change that line in uucpd to

execl(pw->pw_shell, "/usr/libexec/uucp/uucico", NULL);

and everybody will be happy.
How-To-Repeat: 
	
Add an uucp feed via TCP/IP
