Hmmm, I wonder why that was changed? I did a google search for uucp and group and it was interesting. It seems this is the norm now. When I added fax to the search, it seems that will solve my problem of having to fax something as root instead of a user. ;-) Learn something every day. I just wonder about my UPS and how it is going to like this change. Add nut to the group to I guess. Well, now we know huh? Thanks for the help. I better watch the rules update next time.
