Tip problem With Uws2.1(vax)

[Hurf Sheldon]

	I installed UWS2.1 (Ultrix3.1) on a vs3200 with some dhv11's
	Our 'tip' lines reported 'all ports busy' unless run from
	root. I checked and rechecked the permission settings on the
	tty entries, on /usr/spool/uucp and on /usr/bin/tip. After
	comparing the permission level on /usr/bin/tip on another
	system (UWS2.0, vsII) I saw that the 2.0 had set /usr/bin/tip
	permissions [correctly?] to 4711 but the 2.1 installation had
	set /usr/bin/tip  755 (which appears normal but won't allow
	creation of the lock file in /usr/spool/uucp)

	I tried 'chown daemon /usr/bin/tip' and 'chmod 755 /usr/bin/tip'
	in the hopes of not having to set root id but got the error
	'can't open log file' . 

	I assume this is part of the obvious effort to plug security holes
	in UWS2.1/Ultrix3.1 - just passing it on.
