Since the only files that are group dialout are the cua devices, it's exactly just as safe to leave whatever uucp program it is setgid dialout as it is to make the devices owned by uucp and remove the setgid dialout bit from the program. uucp has no more permissions in one case than in the other, therefore it doesn't need to be designed to be setgid dialout. Hmm. Actually, it's a bit safer to have the devices owned by root. That way, uucp can't change their group/permissions. Christian
