> What user and group owns [/dev/ttyS4]? And what are the permissions like?
bmike1@0[bmike1]$ ls -l /dev/ttyS4
crw-rw-r-- 1 root root 4, 68 2004-08-02 12:40 /dev/ttyS4
bmike1@0[bmike1]$ sudo chown bmike1 /dev/ttyS4
bmike1@0[bmike1]$ ls -l /dev/ttyS4
crw-rw-r-- 1 bmike1 root 4, 68 2004-08-02 12:40 /dev/ttyS4
bmike1@0[bmike1]$
There is a group called 'dialout' (1) to which my user belongs. I am thinking
that pppd or ttyS4 has not been linked with this group but I don't know. It
would be safer were this so. But I am all alone; security is of miminal
concern to me.
