Can anybody enlighten me on /etc/uucpd and its operation, invokation, etc.?

Thanks....

from our /etc/services:
uucp    540/tcp    uucpd    # uucp daemon

from our /usr/lib/uucp/L.sys:
dsacg1 Any TCP uucp dsacg1 ogin:--ogin:--ogin: Udsacg3 ssword: PASSWORD

sitename Any TCP uucp sitename in:--in: nuucp password: hispassword

The site I send to is a Unisys system that doesn't have the /etc/uucpd
daemon, but does have telnet, so I use:

sitename Any TCP telnet sitename in:--in: nuucp password: hispassword
