Broken rnews permissions

Hi,

rnews's permissions seem to be broken in INN 2.3.x. When INN is
compiled using --enable-uucp-rnews, taylor UUCP fails:

uuxqt uu.inka.de uucp (2000-11-29 20:16:48.43 14705) Execution failed (X.uu.inkad0I39)

This does not happen when rnews has a mode of 2550, is owned by
`uucp' and belongs to the group `news'.

http://www.isc.org/ml-archives/inn-workers/2000/04/msg00250.html
says that these permissions are OK:

,----
| > news at gateway:~/db > inncheck -
| > /usr/local/news/bin/rnews:0: in group uucp, should be news
| > /usr/local/news/bin/rnews:0: mode 4550, should be 2555
| [...]
| 
| You can ignore all of this; it's fine.  The bug is in inncheck.
| Fixed in the upcoming 2.3 release.
`----

I don't understand why.
