Hi.
On my openSUSE 11.0 Ihave a problem with hamradio software, that shall run on /dev/ttyS0
I can get it to work if being root, but not as user.
The group looks like this:
erikja:~ # ls -l /dev/ttyS0 crw-rw---- 1 root uucp 4, 64 Aug 17 17:04 /dev/ttyS0
The uucp was not present for the user, but I did add it:
erikja@erikja:~> groups users uucp vboxusers
Should the /dev/ttyS0 work now, or is there something I haven't seen/done ?
The proper way to use the serial ports is to add the user to the uucp group:
uucp:x:14:uucp,modemuser,serialuser
