I am wondering why so many udev rules assign the uucp group to devices?
In the young days of mail and news UUCP was used to transport messages. These systems used modems to send and receive messages.
Therefore people using uucp needed special access rights to the ttys as the dial process caused costs.
Thanks for explaining that. I see, so the intended way of using that is to add the user who can use that equipment to the uucp group? How is that compared to the dialout group? I mean, is it just another group like that? I was just worried that I would add my user to a group that is actually intended for security reason for some software.
