 What TCP communications method are you using?

  - UUCP over SSH
  - something else?
 

I am trying to connect directly via TCP.

but somehow I can't get the chat script right.

 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.  :-)

They are, but this is already after I decided to troubleshoot down to the basics. The issue also was present with SSH.

Does anyone know what might be the issue here? What am I missing?

 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.
 

It does look like it, doesn't it? But that's not what I am doing, this debug log came from another machine. I am trying to reach the machine esgaroth from a machine called erebor. And I can access either from each other via ssh. And I clearly can access esgaroth from erebor because it gives me the uucp login chat (and erebor from esgaroth looks the same). And yet the handshake fails.
I feel like I am missing something very obvious.
