We're running Sun OS 4.1 here, and I was experiencing a similar problem
connecting to a couple of sites.  Everything seemed to be fine when I
would log in manually, but when uucico attempted to log in, it wouldn't
seem to recognize the "Shere=" prompt from the other system.
uucico debugging output gave no clues, even with level 9 debugging.
 
Someone suggested that I end the password that I send with "\n\c",
(line feed with no carriage return), and that seemed to fix the
problem.  I don't know why it works, but it does.
