           Product: uucp
         Component: packaging
           Summary: permissions on "cu" don't allow unprivilleged users
           Product: uucp
           Version: 1.06.1-22mdk
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: P2
         Component: packaging
        AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


When trying to use "cu" as an unprivilleged user I get the following error:

cu: /etc/uucp/port: fopen: Permission denied

It seems that either "cu" is supposed to be s[u|g]id to the UUCP system user or
the permissions on /etc/uucp are too strict.  My past experience tells me its
the former.  Probably some setgid perms got lost during packaging.
