Hausen >Organization: private site >Release: FreeBSD 2.2-STABLE i386 >Environment: >Description: /usr/libexec/uucp/uucico runs setgid dialer to access the terminal lines. Thus, uuxqt is executed with an egid of dialer, too. Third-party software (like innn) expects uuxqt to run egid uucp, for instance rnews is set 4550 news.uucp. IMHO the INN ditribution is right and the uuxqt program runs with the wrong permissions. >How-To-Repeat: rnews can't be executed on a vanilla FreeBSD system and a freshly installed INN port/package. >Fix: make /usr/libexec/uucp/uuxqt 6550 uucp.uucp instead of 4550 uucp.uucp. >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
