Thanks.

Oh, I see. But, the path of uucpd was changed to
/usr/local/libexec/uucpd. ;-)

Thanks.

DougB> That depends on your perspective on this I suppose... My reasoning

I myself doesn't have strong objection about changing it. However, I
believe that /etc/rc.conf(.local) of not few poeple doesn't have
inetd_enable=YES. So, this change should be described in UPDATING and
relnotes.
Sincerely,
