    I think you'll find that in Solaris 8 and later, only those
    executables that are set-uid uucp have retained uucp ownership.
    
    (Tip, of course, is still often executed by root in some settings)
    
    (Oh, and we're discussing a buffer overflow in uucp on BSDi, so
    Solaris may not be a target for this problem)
