Or you can get *REALLY* barbaric and manually edit /etc/group

Search for the uucp line - add your username to the list.

Originally, it looks like:
uucp:x:14:uucp

Make it look like:
uucp:x:14:uucp,name
Where 'name' is your username.

Not such a good idea - then Fedora complains that /etc/group and /etc/gshadow don't match which can totally stuff things up. The same thing happens if you manually edit /etc/passwd - the password file and the shadow password file get out of sync which can cause authentication problems.

When using shadow passwords and groups it is always much safer to use the tools provided that keep things properly in sync.

I know - I found out the hard way (by manually editing /etc/group...<grin>).
