When your system asks "Login:", my system answers "Ujeffg".

On tml/scorpio my uucpname is Ujeffg. My system name is grntrs. On Dialix
my uucpname does not match my system name either, but my system name is
also grntrs.

I know the following is irrelevant to your machine, but they may have equivalents.
Here's a cut & paste from fxuucico.doc about the 'systems' file.

>>
                      ---   'systems' file   ---

The 'systems' file describe the remote hosts you are connecting, usually
called neighbors. At least one line must be present for each one. Multi-
ple entries for the same host are allowed specifying different dialing
numbers or changing other parameters. Multiple entries will result in
Uucico using them in sequence when retrying a failed connection.


#The format of the 'systems' entry is:
#
#host  time protocol  dialer     script  phone-number  login password
#
laser  Any    g      Hayes.2400  toUnix    123-45678 uulaser    secret

fxuucico.doc also mentions something about a 'permits' file. Here's another
cut & paste.

The 'permits' file controls security issues. FX also uses the 'permits'
file to change some common parameters between different systems. It
