As I mentioned in #1110980, I think that /var/lock/ should be writeable 
by group dialout (at least until a different locking scheme will be 
agreed project-wide) but we should not make it world writeable again for 
all the good reasons explained by Luca and the other systemd upstream 
maintainers.

(While this fixes cu it does not help uucico, but as a long time UUCP 
user I would be happy to work on moving the internal-use UUCP lock files 
if the maintainer needs help.)
