The security team is currently sanity checking the profiles in the
Base:System/permissions package. In this context we've come across the
following entries related to the mgetty package:

permissions.paranoid:    /var/spool/fax/outgoing/locks    fax:trusted      
0755
permissions.easy:    /var/spool/fax/outgoing/locks    fax:root          0755
permissions.secure:    /var/spool/fax/outgoing/locks    fax:root          0755

This directory doesn't seem to be part of mgetty (sendfax) for a long time any
more. Upstream commit bac8e5efeeb19ef5bef44ff1d76b73816218936b seems to have
removed this in the year 2002 (upstream git repository is at
git://github.greenie.net/mgetty/).

If you can confirm this I'd like to remove the entries listed above from all
permissions profiles.
