The system _MUST_ not have the Unix-to-Unix Copy Protocol (UUCP) service active. UUCP, a set of programs that enable the sending of files between different UNIX systems as well as sending commands to be executed on another system, is not essential and _MUST_ be disabled in order to prevent the unauthorized connection of devices, transfer of information, and tunneling.
Fix:
/usr/bin/sudo /bin/launchctl disable system/com.apple.uucp
Parameter:
[yes/no]
Technical Mechanism:
/usr/bin/sudo /bin/launchctl disable system/com.apple.uucp
