Are you sure.  What form (version) of uucp.  I thought an entry like

, /usr/spool/uucppublic

would allow access to PUBDIR for any user or any system that did not
match an entry in the list above it.  (At least on V7 uucp).  The
documentation and papers I have from System III agree with this also.
