Configuration File Names
------------------------

`sysfile STRINGS'
     Specify the system file(s).  The default is the file `sys' in the
     directory NEWCONFIGDIR.  These files hold information about other
     systems with which this system communicates; see See sys File.
     Multiple system files may be given on the line, and the `sysfile'
     command may be repeated; each system file has its own set of
     defaults.

`portfile STRINGS'
     Specify the port file(s).  The default is the file `port' in the
     directory NEWCONFIGDIR.  These files describe ports which are used
     to call other systems and accept calls from other systems; see
     See port File.  No port files need be named at all.  Multiple
     port files may be given on the line, and the `portfile' command
     may be repeated.

`dialfile STRINGS'
     Specify the dial file(s).  The default is the file `dial' in the
     directory NEWCONFIGDIR.  These files describe dialing devices
     (modems); see See dial File.  No dial files need be named at
     all.  Multiple dial files may be given on the line, and the
     `dialfile' command may be repeated.

`dialcodefile STRINGS'
     Specify the dialcode file(s).  The default is the file `dialcode'
     in the directory NEWCONFIGDIR.  These files specify dialcodes that
     may be used when sending phone numbers to a modem.  This permits
     using the same set of phone numbers in different area-codes or
     with different phone systems, by using dialcodes to specify the
     calling sequence.  When a phone number goes through dialcode
     translation, the leading alphabetic characters are stripped off.
     The dialcode files are read line by line, just like any other
     configuration file, and when a line is found whose first word is
     the same as the leading characters from the phone number, the
     second word on the line (which would normally consist of numbers)
     replaces the dialcode in the phone number.  No dialcode file need
     be used.  Multiple dialcode files may be specified on the line,
     and the `dialcodefile' command may be repeated; all the dialcode
     files will be read in turn until a dialcode is located.

`callfile STRINGS'
     Specify the call out login name and password file(s).  The default
     is the file `call' in the directory NEWCONFIGDIR.  If the call out
     login name or password for a system are given as `*' (
see Logging In.), these files are read to get the real login name or
     password.  Each line in the file(s) has three words: the system
     name, the login name, and the password.  The login name and
     password may contain escape sequences like those in a chat script
     expect string (see Chat Scripts.).  This file is only used
     when placing calls to remote systems; the password file described
     under `passwdfile' below is used for incoming calls.  The
     intention of the call out file is to permit the system file to be
     publically readable; the call out files must obviously be kept
     secure.  These files need not be used.  Multiple call out files
     may be specified on the line, and the `callfile' command may be
     repeated; all the files will be read in turn until the system is
     found.

`passwdfile STRINGS'
     Specify the password file(s) to use for login names when `uucico'
     is doing its own login prompting, which it does when given the
     `-e', `-l' or `-w' switches.  The default is the file `passwd' in
     the directory NEWCONFIGDIR.  Each line in the file(s) has two
     words: the login name and the password (e.g., `Ufoo foopas').
     They may contain escape sequences like those in a chat script
     expect string (see Chat Scripts.).  The login name is accepted
     before the system name is known, so these are independent of which
     system is calling in; a particular login may be required for a
     system by using the `called-login' command in the system file
     (see Accepting a Call.).  These password files are optional,
     although one must exist if `uucico' is to present its own login
     prompts.

     As a special exception, a colon may be used to separate the login
     name from the password, and a colon may be used to terminate the
     password.  This means that the login name and password may not
     contain a colon.  This feature, in conjunction with the
     `HAVE_ENCRYPTED_PASSWORDS' macro in `policy.h', permits using a
     standard Unix `/etc/passwd' as a UUCP password file, providing the
     same set of login names and passwords for both `getty' and
     `uucico'.

     Multiple password files may be specified on the line, and the
     `passwdfile' command may be repeated; all the files will be read in
     turn until the login name is found.
