tty-permissions wrong

I've been using mgetty quite a time (since 0.20 or so) with mostly
little problems - until now. after re-installing unixware 2.03 
i did recompile and install v.1.1.8 as usual.
everything works fine, as long as mgetty recieves fax. any login 
gets my special issue-screen, the login prompt, accepts the user 
name, and halts. no output from /bin/login, nothing happens.

the logfile says:
(all normal above...)
02/05 21:18:38 01h waiting...
02/05 21:20:37 01h waiting for ``RING'' ** found **
02/05 21:20:37 01h send: ATA[0d]
02/05 21:20:37 01h waiting for ``CONNECT'' ** found **
02/05 21:20:54 01h send:
02/05 21:20:54 01h waiting for ``_'' ** found **
02/05 21:21:01 ##### data dev=tty01h, pid=7119, caller=none,
conn='14400/LAPM/V42BIS', name='', cmd='/bin/login', user='martin'

the file-permissions are:
(mgetty has the line)
crw-rw-r-- 1 uucp  uucp  3, 3 Feb 5 21:03 tty01h
(mgetty has called /bin/login)
crw------- 1 uucp  uucp  3, 3 Feb 5 21:10 tty01h

I can't remember whether these permission are ok, are they?
It seems like anything prevents /bin/login from accessing the device,
but why?
