This was previously not printed because of a typo in /etc/security
(see PR misc/36058). The fix was pulled up to netbsd-3.

Changing the permissions would fix this, but then you'd see another
warning because the directory mode doesn't match what is recorded in
/etc/mtree/special (1777).

If you don't use UUCP changing uucp's homedir to e.g. /nonexistent is
probably the easiest fix.
