hmmm ... making an assumption that UUCP name == first component of domain
name won't always work.  For instance, our UUCP name is "ukma", but the
machine doing UUCP here is "g.ms.uky.edu".


A useful hack I did here -- with the 4.3BSD UUCP -- was to use the thing
which wanted to read from /etc/uucpname but hack it up to read from 
/usr/lib/uucp/uucpname instead.  Somewhere in that file you put the
UUCP name.  Oh, I see, that's all that's in the file.



Question:  I haven't even bothered to look in the documentation, but it
	would be `nice' to remove some non-vanilla-ness from our systems.
	Does the Ultrix UUCP do the uucpd  & t-protocol stuff?  And
	does the Ultrix UUCP do anything to require certin UUCP names to
	log in with certain login names?
