Simple(?) ULTRIX uucp question

I had the same problem.  The problem is that /usr/lib/crontab as
distributed does an "su uucp <", while /etc/passwd as gives uucp a
login shell of /usr/lib/uucp/uucico.  Uucp can't handle shell scripts
out of uucico.  Either remove the "su uucp <", or give uucp a real
login shell (/bin/sh, /bin/csh, etc.) so it can run the scripts.
