>Description:
Because UUCP has been "modularized" with mk.conf(5) flags, it is no longer safe to assume UUCP related binaries are in the userland and in the default $PATH in /etc/daily.

Granted when running systems compiled/installed with UUCP=no, it is advisable to set check_uucp=no in daily.conf(5), however an additional checks at line 206 in daily(8) would not be very costly considering existing checks at line 295.

This is already done at line 295:

if checkyesno check_uucp && \
    [ -d /var/spool/uucp -a -f /usr/libexec/uucp/clean.daily ]; then


So a change line 206 from:

if checkyesno check_uucp && [ -d /var/spool/uucp ]; then

to:

if checkyesno check_uucp && [ -d /var/spool/uucp -a -x /usr/bin/uustat]; then
...
fi

(correct me if i'm wrong about the path here, I don't have UUCP on any of my existing systems)
