Is it possible that the remote system is asking you to change your password?

The best way to find out what is happening is to use "cu" to dial-up that 
system, and tehn login using the same login as 'uucico' uses (like "nuucp"
if that is the uucp login account).  When you login to a valid uucico 
program, you will get the message:

	Shere=<system_name>

(Where <system_name> is the output from the "uuname -l" command on the 
remote system.)

If you get this far, then it should work unless you have a problem in the
"Permissions" file on one of the machines.
