UUCP accounts allow for file transfers via direct serial connections or via modems.
Most of the parameters for a UUCP account should be filled in the same as a regular login account. See login if you need more information on login name, full name, user ID, and the mail settings.
You can't set the group for a UUCP user; all UUCP accounts are in the
uucp
group.
The default home directory for UUCP accounts is /var/spool/uucppublic
;
you can set this to a different directory if you use another place for UUCP file
transfers.
