我建议您首先安装文档中附带的已知良好的配置文件。
将这些文件放置在它们的“标准”位置：在较新的 Linux 发行版上是 /etc/uucp，在较旧的发行版上是 /usr/lib/uucp。
然后确保这些文件的 permissions 是
(guylhem@barberouge:uucp)$ ls -l
total 11
-rw-r--r-- 1 uucp uucp 501 Jan 23 11:33 Poll
-rw-r----- 1 uucp uucp 589 Jan 23 11:34 call
-rw-r----- 1 uucp uucp 1184 Jan 23 12:06 config
-rw-r----- 1 uucp uucp 476 Jan 23 12:31 crontab
-rw-r----- 1 uucp uucp 1256 Jan 23 11:47 dial
-rw-r----- 1 uucp uucp 486 Jan 23 11:48 passwd
-rw-r----- 1 uucp uucp 810 Jan 23 11:55 port
-rw-r--r-- 1 uucp uucp 1690 Jan 23 12:04 sys
(guylhem@barberouge:uucp)$
要更改文件所有者，以 root 用户身份，输入
(root@barberouge:uucp)$ chown uucp.uucp *
然后您必须更改文件权限；再次以 root 用户身份，输入
(root@barberouge:uucp)# chmod 640 *
(root@barberouge:uucp)# chmod +r Poll sys
此文件用于设置任何系统的轮询时间表。
schedule polux 01
poll polux 01
我的机器在 01:00 呼叫 polux，仅此而已！
如果您必须呼叫更多机器，您可以添加更多行，但不要忘记为每个机器添加 2 行（schedule 和 poll）。
它包含您轮询的每个系统的登录名/密码
polux uudan password
我的机器在轮询 “polux” 时使用 “uudan” 登录名和 “password” 密码 :-)。
至于 Poll 文件，请根据您的情况进行调整。
nodename barberouge # The UUCP name of this system
spool /var/spool/uucp # The UUCP spool directory
pubdir /var/spool/uucppublic # The UUCP public directory
logfile /var/log/uucp/log # The UUCP log file
statfile /var/log/uucp/stats # The UUCP statistics file
debugfile /var/log/uucp/debug # The UUCP debugging file
#sysfile /etc/uucp/sys # Default "sys"
#portfile /etc/uucp/port # Default "port"
#dialfile /etc/uucp/dial # Default "dial"
#dialcodefile /etc/uucp/dialcode # Default "dialcode"
#callfile /etc/uucp/call # Default "call"
#passwdfile /etc/uucp/passwd # Default "passwd"
# No commands may be executed by unknowns (empty list of permitted commands)
# Upload is authorized in /var/spool/uucp
unknown commands
unknown pubdir /var/spool/uucp
unknown remote-send ~ !~/upload
unknown remote-receive ~/upload
在这里，只需将 “barberouge” 替换为您自己的系统名称；如果您不记得了，请运行 “hostname”。
# Every day just before morning generate reports.
#

# Every hour start the uudemon.hr. To actually poll a remote system,
# enter its name in /etc/uucp/Poll. You are encouraged to change the "8".
#
8 * * * * /usr/lib/uucp/uudemon.hr
只需运行 “crontab -u uucp /etc/uucp/crontab” 即可将其添加到其他 crontab 中。
# 1) expect nothing (i.e., continue with step 2)
# 2) send "ATZ", then a carriage return, then sleep for 1 to 2 seconds.
# The \c means to not send a final carriage return.
# 3) wait until the modem echoes "OK", then do the the same for "ATX4" & "OK"
# 4) send "ATDT", then the telephone number (after translating any dialcodes).
# 5) wait until the modem echoes "CONNECT"
# 6) if we get "BUSY", "NO CARRIER" ... during the chat script we abort dialing
# 7) when the call is over, we make sure we hangup the modem

语法很复杂... 您最好不要在这里修改任何内容，除了 “ATZ” 和 “ATX4”，它们是我的调制解调器初始化字符串。
#uuguest guestpassword
如果您允许 uucp 拨入，只需在此文件中添加系统/密码。
就 *这么* 简单。
但出于安全原因，建议确保每个系统都有单独的帐户和主目录，以便您可以跟踪情况。
# Description for the modem entry
# Debianers, make SURE this device is root:dialout, mode 0660 (crw-rw---)
port ACU

# hardflow n
# Description for the TCP port - pretty trivial. DON'T DELETE.

# Description for the nullmodem entry
# (ttyS1 means COM2)
port nullmodem
type direct
device /dev/ttyS1
dialer nullmodem
speed 115200
您不应在此处更改任何内容... 除了您的调制解调器端口。
在带有 mgetty 的最新发行版上，它是 /dev/ttySN，而在较旧的发行版上，它是 /dev/cuaN，其中 N 是您的串行端口
N 从 0 开始，ttyS(N) 表示 COM(N+1)，例如，我的零调制解调器在 ttyS1 (COM2) 上，而我的调制解调器在 ttyS0 (COM1) 上。
大多数最新调制解调器都支持硬件流控制，如果您的调制解调器不支持，只需取消注释行 “# hardflow n”。

在这里，您必须将 “polux” 更改为您轮询的系统的名称，并将 “0111111110” 更改为其电话号码。
“polux-2”、“polux-tcp” 和 “horizon” 只是用户特定需求的示例；如果您轮询的系统有多条线路，请将其定义为 “itsname-2”；如果您有时通过 PPP 调用它，也请定义 “itsname-tcp”。
当 chat script 失败（忙碌...）时，这很有用。

以检查您设置的所有信息是否正确。
警告：您的结果可能会有所不同；不同的发行版使用不同的路径，而 Linux FSSTD 无关！
如果一切正确，运行
/usr/sbin/uucico -r 1 -x 9 -s remote_system_name
-x 9 将最大程度的调试信息写入 /var/log/uucp/debug 文件，以帮助进行初始设置。
我通常在这里运行 -x 4，因为该级别记录的详细信息可以帮助我解决登录问题。显然，此文本包含来自您的系统文件的明确信息（帐户/密码），因此请保护它免受世界读取。
>来自 Pierre.Beyssac at emeraude.syseca.fr
Taylor 具有更多日志记录级别。使用 -x all 以获得尽可能高的级别。
此外，在调试时执行 "tail -f /var/log/uucp/debug" 以实时观察情况。
