Usually this indicates that your password file doesn't have
user uucp or your group file doesn't have group dialer.
To check, (and fix if necessary), use (as root)
vipw
and look for this line:
uucp:*:66:1::0:0:UNIX-to-UNIX Copy:/var/spool/uucppublic:/usr/libexec/uucp/uuci
co
If that's there, use emacs and look at /etc/group (and /etc/group.local if
it exists)
look for the line
dialer:*:117:
again, insert it if it isn't there...
