Luckily, on SCO 2.2 you can open("/dev/tty2A",O_RDONLY|O_NDELAY) as root
and patch it up. I've been told that Tandy XENIX won't allow this; once
XCLUDE is set that line is really locked.
One has to wonder if this area of SVID was rationally developed or if
it covers a kludge in the initial tty driver.

Does this have to be?? Are you saying:
drwxrwx-wx 6 uucp uucp 4336 Mar 19 17:56 /usr/spool/uucp
won't work? That's what I do now.
P.S. Thanks for the info on Devices.
