No it wasn't. Just allow the 'uucp' command to be remotely
executed in your Permissions file, and away you will go.

Without a Permissions file only the 'rmail' command can be executed. 

NB this is for AT&T versions, I can't comment on what other
people might have done to the code. Also one should consider
closing down access to one's file systems (via setting READ=
and WRITE=) when enabling 'uucp' in this way.
