On the Ultrix machine (which is the machine doing the rejection),
there is a file /usr/lib/uucp/USERFILE.  Its fields look like this:

remote,	X1	/
local,	X9	/
Uhost,host X1	/usr/spool/uucppublic

This says when someone logs in as Uhost, check to make sure their
system name is "host".  If it is not, reject it.  You can skip this
test by making the hostname field blank, for example

Uhost, X1	/usr/spool/uucppublic

In either case:

	1. Uhost is the same UID as "uucp" (doesnt have to be... is
		here)
	2. The dialin tty is not linked to any other tty.  (Important
		-- see 1.2 release notes.)

So, either leave the hostname part blank or use the hostname that the
sun system is sending.

If this doesnt fix it, send me (via email) sample USERFILE, relevent
parts of /etc/passwd, and an ls -l of the /dev/tty? on which the
system connects.
