After I upgraded from Xenix 2.3.1 to 2.3.2 I started having a problem with
the uucp port's device driver permissions. As per the install procedure I set
the port's permissions to:
crw-rw-rw- uucp uucp
with uucp as the group and owner. Every time mail is sent through this modem
port (either incoming or outgoing) the permissions change to:
crw--w--w- uucp uucp (NOTE: two reads are "removed")
What is causing this to happen? Why are the group & other read permissions
being stripped? How can I "fix" this? I have heard that others are experiencing
the same problem with Xenix 2.3.2 & 2.3.3 which I have since updated to.
