The attached patch to the rc.uucp startup file allows the uucpd program to
start properly. The operative change was adding ``--'' before the uucico
in the uucpd startup routine. Uucpd was failing with an invalid option
``-l'' without that.
The other changes are mainly cosmetic, and an aid to debugging. I added a
couple of comments to help people editing the rc.conf file, and append the
stderr of startup to the debugging file to make it a bit easier to figure
out what's happening if there are problems.
This patch is from the release 1.3 tree, but should be applicable to
current as well (hopefully).
