- I have never had this problem. This is because, for security reasons,
- /etc/disable and /etc/enable are both set to 500 permissions. I don't want any
- old user to be able to enable/disable ports.
-
- Since uucico runs as user uucp, it cannot run /etc/enable upon exit. uucico
- still runs fine and my lines are not messed up.
