Seems that the RLOGIN message comes from the 5.2 uucico when it can't find the
login name in the USERFILE. The login name *must* be present in the USERFILE.
In no case can the login name be missing from the USERFILE. Period. At least
from what I can tell. In the sample USERFILE below, removing the null line
won't change the results one bit.
USERFILE:
, / (null line)
n1, /
,s1 /
n2,s2 /
Results:
login=n1, machine=s1, ret=0 login match with null machine
login=n1, machine=s2, ret=0 login match with null machine
login=n1, machine=s3, ret=0 login match with null machine
login=n2, machine=s1, ret=2 login not paired with machine
login=n2, machine=s2, ret=0 login match and machine match
login=n2, machine=s3, ret=2 login not paired with machine
login=n3, machine=s1, ret=2 login not in USERFILE
login=n3, machine=s2, ret=2 login not in USERFILE
login=n3, machine=s3, ret=2 login not in USERFILE
Must be a security reason for this, eh?
