3.1.5.31 uucp

Information

This entry starts the uucp service when required. This service facilitates file copying between networked servers.

Rationale:

The uucp (UNIX to UNIX Copy Program), service allows users to copy files between networked machines. Unless an application or process requires UUCP this should be disabled.

Solution

Use chsubserver to disable this service in /etc/inetd.conf:

chsubserver -r inetd -C /etc/inetd.conf -d -v 'uucp' -p 'tcp'
refresh -s inetd

Default Value:

Enabled
