This didn't work for me.  I get the following error message:

   zsh: permission denied: /dev/cufa

Permissions on /dev/cufa:

   crw-------  1 uucp     wheel     11,224 Jan  2 13:00 /dev/cufa

Permissions on /usr/local/bin/kermit:

   -rwsr-sr-x  1 uucp     other     344064 Dec  6 12:19 /usr/local/bin/kermit*

If I change ownership of /dev/cufa to 'john', it works, but that's an
unacceptable solution since there are other users of the machine.
