Are you sure you're installing uucico with the correct permissions,
including proper ownership and the suid/sgid bits? In a standard
NetBSD install, /usr/libexec/uucp/uucico is setuid and owned by
uucp.

What happened to the UUCP that was already installed on your system
when you installed NetBSD, BTW?
