Here is a sample entry from our L.sys for the host gondor which is on our local ethernet. gondor Any;5 TCP uucp gondor "" TheLoginName "" ThePassWord "TCP" in the caller filed specifies that this system should be contacted using TCP. "uucp" is the "service" name from /etc/services, i.e. what port on the remote system should be contacted.
