 The UUCP+ docs don't cover setting up the other end of your UUCp link (it
would be different for every machine/OS). You do need a special account
on brahms. Under UNIX, the account must have uucico as the login shell instead
of csh/ksh, or whatever. It usually is a special account name as well, so
that the permissions are right.
