bah.  there is complete authentication with anonymous uucp -- the
caller is authenticated as an anonymous caller.  as noted in the other
newsgroup, it's easy to restrict access with anonymous uucp:  you don't
let anyone request any files, you don't send them spooled stuff unless
you placed the call.  in fact, these are the default permissions in
honey danber.  it is assumed (by at least one of the uucp troika) that
a sys admin who enables anonymous uucp access and sends out spooled
files on the basis of a claimed ^PSsysname just doesn't care whether
the mail is delivered reliably.  (i am one such sys admin, just so you
know they exist.)
