NAME
       Foreign - Logs contact attempts from unknown systems

SYNOPSIS
       /usr/lib/uucp/.Admin/Foreign

DESCRIPTION
       The  /usr/lib/uucp/.Admin/Foreign file lists access attempts by unknown
       systems. The /usr/lib/uucp/remote.unknown shell script appends an entry
       to  the	Foreign file each time a remote computer that is not listed in
       the local /usr/lib/uucp/Systems file attempts to communicate with  that
       local system.

       Someone	with  superuser authority can customize entries in the Foreign
       file  to	 fit  the  needs  of  a	 specific  site	  by   modifying   the
       remote.unknown shell script.

EXAMPLES
       The following is a sample entry in the Foreign file:

       Wed Sep 20 20:38:22 CDT 1989: call from the system merlin

       System  merlin,	which is not listed in the /usr/lib/uucp/Systems file,
       attempted to log in on September 20 at 10:38 p.m., but the uucp program
       did not allow the unknown system to log in.
