The permissions are 644, owner uucp, group uucp, the same as HylaFAX.

The behavior from the viewpoint of a manual dialup with ckermit
is that it accepts the username, but there's no response to the
<ENTER> key (or ctrl-j for that matter).  It just sits there at
the end of the username.

I would expect this type of behavior if the file numbers for the
device weren't what /bin/login expects (I assume that mgetty does
a fork, exec to start /bin/login, and either provides arguments
to /bin/login to point to the device or fiddles file numbers to
get it right).
