[news.misc] Why put paths file in /usr/lib/uucp?

sean@utoday.UUCP (Sean Fulton) (09/19/90)

I'm curious why the default on smail is to put the output from
pathalis in /usr/lib/uucp, instead of /usr/lib/mail, or somewhere
else.

It seems strange, especially if your ``news'' user wouldn't normally
be able to write in /usr/lib/uucp.

Again, I'm just sort of curious what the thinking was on this.
