honey danber permits "anonymous" uucp logins, and so do bsd and svr2.
the bsd/svr2 USERFILE wants an enumeration of uucp logins, but host
name validation is optional; the same is true of honey danber's
Permissions file.  the "i don't know you" feature in honey danber can
be turned on or off on the fly by chmod-ing a shell script.

i concur with those who advocate making the uucp login data public
(although i ruined allegra that way).  i put my uucp data in the #R
field of my mod.map data.
