PLease do tell:
What does that mean?
wait ... I'll look in the man first.....
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?
