Up to 11.0 you can tell resmgr to grant certain users access to specific devices instead, see http://forgeftp.novell.com/resmgr/web/#id2830544
Thanks for the information. I tried the example given under the above link, by adding: allow modem user=linux to a new file under /etc/resmgr.conf.d Did a restart of the resourcemanager and also see that I am now member of the modem group.
/sbin/resmgr classes modem ...
Now that still does not allow me to access the /dev/ttyUSB0. I looked in the files under /etc/hal/fid/policy/ and found: <!-- serial devices --> <match key="info.category" string="serial"> <match key="serial.device" exists="true"> <merge key="resmgr.device" type="copy_property">serial.device</merge> <merge key="resmgr.class" type="string">modem</merge> </match> </match> How do I know what class my ttyUSB0 device runs under? It is a FTDI 245 USB chip that runs with the kernel module ftdi_sio, an usbserial driver. BTW, you said that up to 11.0 the resmgr is taking care of resources. What takes care of them with 11.1?
