	While I haven't tried nuucp, I've set up SCO UNIX 3.2v2.0 systems
	where ROOT doesn't have a password and things work just fine.
	Maybe it's that psuedo users, like nuucp, must have passwords?
	Try opening the nuucp account as a user rather than a psuedo
	account.

	By the way, these systems are used in a test lab so it doesn't
	matter that root has no password...
