- Is there a "uusecure" for 3.x available? My version of UUCP is creating
- files with mode (rw-r--r--), and while this isn't a major security
- concern, every other UUCP in the world creates files (rw-r-----), or is
- configureable to such. I tried changing the spool file's directory
- permissions, but that breaks other things. Any ideas on this problem?
