What Rick means is that you should make sure you assign the shell (in
/etc/passwd) properly:
If the account is to be used for normal users, the
shell should be /bin/ksh, etc.
If the account is to be used for uucp logins, the
shell should be /usr/lib/uucp/uucico.
The port setup will handle either type of logon (provided it is set up
properly for baud rate, etc.).
The problem you had was that you tried logging into a uucp account
manually. When you do that, you will get an 'Shere' response instead
of a '$' or '%' (or whatever) from a user shell.
