This is not needed unless you are doing *anonymous* UUCP and allowing local users to put files there. (I usually have a uucpmgr user that owns /etc/uucp or /usr/lib/uucp and disable anon UUCP.) chmod it to 0 or 755 if you run UUCP or remove it if you don't. You can still support anon UUCP without it, but local users won't be able to exchange files with it. Hope this helps - Jy@ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
