So it seems to me as if the manpages are saying that changes ownership to 'root' and the group to 'dialout' of the file ttyS4. That must be right because I just attempted a reconnect and it works. In any case, how would I go about figuring out the group that gtkam is... wait.... let's create a group and add my user to it (1). Let's see, I created a group now how to add the user to the group... man adduser Add an existing user to an existing group If called with two non-option arguments, adduser will add an existing user to an existing group. Well, that didn't work. What did I do wrong? (2) Do I need to change the permissions on gtkam? (3) Well. That didn't work. I do not know where to proceed from here. Comments? Directions? -- <:-)Mike(-:> 1- bmike1@1[bmike1]$ ls -l /usr/bin/gtkam -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 139680 2003-01-22 03:10 /usr/bin/gtkam bmike1@1[bmike1]$ sudo addgroup gtkam Adding group gtkam (1004)...
