There was an old discussion on this in bug 108249 [1]. The decision back in 2005 was to use the "uucp" group (because apparently that was what both Debian and Fedora did at the time), but IIRC it was pretty much arbitrary. So I don't see a reason why we couldn't use "dialout" instead. Ulrich [1] https://bugs.gentoo.org/108249
