Hi!

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
