What TCP communications method are you using?

  - UUCP directly on TCP/IP port 540
  - UUCP over telnet
  - UUCP over SSH
  - something else?

The times that I've done this, I did UUCP over SSH.  It provides 
encryption and the authentication happens outside of UUCP.  SSH keys are 
nice.  :-)

I don't know what's going on.

But it looks like you might be trying to log in to esgaroth from 
esgaroth, e.g. looping back into yourself.  I'm not sure how well UUCP 
tolerates that.
