Message in log file: ERROR: mkdir (/var/lock/uucp): Permission denied /var/lock is a bind to /var/run with 0755 permission and root/lock for user and group. ls -ln /usr/lib/uucp/uucico -r-sr-sr-x 1 10 14 279624 Oct 29 2011 /usr/lib/uucp/uucico passwd uucp:x:10:14:Unix-to-Unix CoPy system:/etc/uucp:/bin/bash group uucp:x:14: ps -eo egroup,pid,user,args uucp 22918 uucp uucico -S XXX Unfortunately adding uucp to lock in group did not help either group lock:x:54:uucp even with effective group of uucp as seen in the ps output. Changing permissions to 1777 for /var/run manually and in /etc/rc.d/boot fixed it for me. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

and it's the same under syvinit AFAIK. So either this has to be changed in uucp or the directory group ownership needs more discussion. werner ? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
