If the file is there, permissions should be:

-r-sr-sr-x  1 uucp  dialer  98304 Nov 22 10:03 /usr/bin/uustat
-r--r--r--  1 uucp  uucp  730 Oct  5 11:08 /etc/uucp/sys

If it's not, look and sys1.sample or sys2.sample. You'll have to
create a similar file to describe the systems with which you
connect. I also tend to put myself in the uucp and dialer groups for
convenience, although it's not really recommended.
