SCO Unix 3.2 passwords

[Christopher B Durham]

Sure, it's possible to create an anonymous UUCP login on SCO UNIX 3.2

When creating the user and the sysadmsh asks you to assign an initila password,
hit <RETURN> when it asks you enter and verify the new password. This will set
the password to just a CR. However, the system will *always* ask you for a 
password, even if there isn't one. In these cases, the Systems file or L.sys
must look for a Password prompt, and send a return:

sys Any ACU 2400 1234567 ogin:--ogin:--ogin: uucp word: \r 

The \r normally sends a return.
There is no way to stop the system from sending out a Password: prompt.
