They defaulted to uucp.wheel before. I don't know what all the devices are so I don't know if they should even be owned by uucp. The following devices are owned by uucp: tty[xyz]? uucp.wheel (should this be root.wheel like ttyd?) tun? uucp.dialer (what does this have to do with uucp?) ityo? uucp[.wheel] (is this like cuaa?) ityo is a new isdn device. If it is a tty then it should be named cuaa? or else cuaa? should be renamed to have something to do with their device driver (maybe sioo?). Other isdn devices have ownership root[.wheel]. ity0? conflicts with our naming scheme in two ways if it is a tty: its name doesn't start with tty, and its name ends with 2 digits. Bruce
