    on solaris:
    
    $ grep uucp /etc/inetd.conf
    uucp   stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/sbin/in.uucpd      in.uucpd
    $ ls -ld /usr/sbin/in.uucpd
    -r-xr-xr-x   1 uucp         9940 Jul 16  1997 /usr/sbin/in.uucpd
    
    dunno if its the default, but it worked for me in 1995, and some boxes still
    have this set up.
