Hi Julien,

sorry for the late response. 
These are the problems, that I've expected, when introducing this
feature. But I have no idea how to solve it! 

Have you any idea how to solve such an issue?
I'd like to have this feature and therefore I also added the
possibility to change this default uucp-group:
--with-group=your_group

Any other comments?
