[rhn-users] dev permissions

[Howard, Chris]

Don't know if this still applies.  But in the olden days to let a user
access the serial device you would set the group to UUCP and put
the user into the UUCP group.

For what it is worth.. 
 
I set my S99Local file ( located in rc2.d ) to "chmod 777 /dev/ttyS0 "
 
Not safe but this box is behind a couple of firewalls.. 
 
Hope this helps

I installed WS 4 64-bit last week on a system that had been WS 3, and now on every reboot it changes the permissions on the serial device ttyS0 and the user can't access their serial 3-D pointer device.  Anyone have a quick answer?  All I got googling was confirmation that this can happen, but not where that process is done...
