Re: [SLE] wvdial permissions?

Hi all
Could someone tell me how one can change the permissions of wvdial to allow a user to access the modem? According to the SuSE book if you add the user to the groups uucp and dialout it should work, however I still get the message that access to the serial port, in my case /dev/ttyS0, is denied. So I guess my question is really, how does one change the permissions of the serial port?
Did you select "Allow access to modem" in the User Administration form? -- -=|JP|=- Jon Pennington | Atipa Linux Solutions jpennington@atipa.com | http://www.atipa.com Kansas City, MO, USA | 816-241-2641 x121 -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
Thanks, I worked it out. I gave permission to the port to the group uucp and added the user to that group. Works fine now.

Hi, I've got a Fujitsu LifeBook B-2130 and I've tryed to install Suse 6.1 on it, but without luck. At least I managed to install from the hard-drive partition and only a minimum install. I installed the PCMCIA cardmanager too, to get the CDROM work, but at restart it hangs at "cs: IO port probe 0x1000-017ff:" Can somebody help me out?

Is there any possibility to get working with suse 6.1 ? I can't get the 6.3 right now, and it takes a lot to d/l from an ftp: site with modem. / Vidor ----- Original Message ----- From: wulfie <wulfie@wulfric7.co.uk> To: Vidor Demeter <vidor@home.se> Cc: <suse-linux-e@suse.com> Sent: Friday, March 31, 2000 1:16 AM Subject: Re: [SLE] PCMCIA problems

If you have reoccurring problems with permission being denied on /dev/ttySx then I suggest upgrading to the latest ppp via suse 6.3 update site. It address this issue specifically. This problem drove me nuts for a long time. Seems to be ok now after the update. -- Tim RRMC -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
