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.
