I'm having trouble setting up anonymous uucp connections to my 
Esis system.  The symptoms are as follows:  The remote system
connects, enters the username 'uucp', and gets immediately 
disconnected.  One time the remote system got the message 
"system does not know me" or something along those lines.  

I currently have no password on the nuucp account.  When there was a
password, no systems were able to get in.  Now there is one system that
can, but others can't.  This doesnt' seem to make any sense...

What else can I check to find out why the connections are being
dropped?

Thanks in advance!
