There was an old discussion on this in bug 108249 [1]. The decision |
| 9 |
back in 2005 was to use the "uucp" group (because apparently that was |
| 10 |
what both Debian and Fedora did at the time), but IIRC it was pretty |
| 11 |
much arbitrary. |

So I don't see a reason why we couldn't use "dialout" instead. |
