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.

Paul Evans
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/ -- 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/
