Greetings, I have a problem with the modem device, we use uucp and everytime we need to access the ttyS1 device we get access denied, crw-rw---- 1 uucp uucp 4, 64 Jun 10 12:52 ttyS0 To me it seems to need execute access, I believe this is something that uucp is looking for. minicom and wvdial are quite happy with the above permission structure, but uucp is complaining. I usually chmod +x /dev/ttyS0 and that works, however this is not really a method I am happy with. OH and the permissions are reset at every reboot. Is there somewhere that I make the permission change permanent? crwxrwx--- 1 uucp uucp 4, 64 Jun 10 12:52 ttyS0 -- Chadley Wilson Redhat Certified Technician Cert Number: 603004708291270 Pinnacle Micro Manufacturers of Proline Computers ==================================== Exercise freedom, Use LINUX =====================================
