   I found the problem.  I won't go into detail as I'm still not 100% where it   
   went   
   wrong, but I think the problem may have been with the way that Debian packed   
   it.   
      
   All I did, was change the "uucp@.service" file to start a different service   
   .   
      
   Instead of running /usr/sbin/in.uucpd, I changed it to run   
   /usr/sbin/uncico -l.  That fixed my problem, which was that nothing was logging   
   in right.   
      
   I'll have to look into it a bit more to see WHY the original life by Debian   
   didn't work, as that was supposed to use PAM for Authentication.  When I know a   
   bit more, I might submit a bug report and blog about it.
