Karl, if that's a Pyramid, then you are running 4.3BSD, which means you can
cleanly disable auditing by rm'ing the /usr/spool/uucp/AUDIT directory. uucico
actually checks to see if the directory exists, and if not it just ignores the
debugging request.

Auditing on other UUCP's is erratic. On most versions prior to 4.3BSD and HDB,
it doesn't really work at all.
