Sorry, I know this has been asked before, but I'm trying to
run seyon, and it runs fine as root, but I get this error about 
unable to creat /var/spool/uucp/LTMP.somethingorother.  I have
seyon installed in /usr/bin/X11, it looks like

-rwsr-xr-x   1 root     wheel     ??? Mar  9  1993 seyon*

What crucial permissions/ownership do I have messed up?

Thanks,
Matt
