Description Christoph Jacob 2005-04-25 04:32:56 UTC 
The permissions for /var/lock should be 775, not 755
(to allow users in group uucp to write to lock files)

This has been reported before in Bug 48016 for baselayout-1.8.10 and was
fixed there, but the problem still exists with >=baselayout-1.11.10

Sugested fix 
kdir -o root -g uucp -m0755 /var/lock
should be
kdir -o root -g uucp -m0775 /var/lock




Reproducible: Always
