I didn't notice this in the BETA/GAMMA, but on the other hand, this has been lying around for all the last releases, and I always fixed it and forgot to report it ;-) After installing INN and setting up my UUCP feed again, I got the following UUCP error: "rnews - can't execute". Apparently /usr/local/bin/rnews is r-sr-x--- news.uucp - looks reasonable. /usr/libexec/uucp/uuxqt is r-sr-x--- uucp.uucp - dito. But /usr/libexec/uucp/uucico is r-sr-sr-x uucp.dialer and obviously doesn't reset it's EGID to uucp before exec()ing uuxqt. Now, that would be the real fix, IMHO. I always just changed uuxqt to r-sr-s--- uucp.uucp to make things work. Cheers, Patrick
