 The user 'olpc' should be in the group 'uucp'.  By default, Unix gives
 permission to read and write serial port devices to all users in the group
 'uucp'.  This is so that uucp can check for incoming uucp connections.
 There are no system devices which are in the group 'uucp'.  The only
 devices which end up in the 'uucp' group are serial port USB devices.
 Since we have no idea exactly what devices people might connect, it makes
 sense for user-level programs to have access to these devices.
 Specifically, in my case, I want to access a GPS receiver which gets
 connected as a serial port device.

 '''cjb:''' that sounds noncontroversial; file a bug.
