Maybe this explains why I'm unable to access the serial port... once again SELinux more a pain in the ass rather than of real use...

Fedora 15 Unable to connect to serial port

Written by Administrator Thursday, 25 August 2011 20:16

Fedora 15 fails to connect to USB - Serial port or inbuilt serial port

Fedora 15 comes with a restrictive user policy.

Your user account need to be in the dialout group you can accomplish this with the command below run as the root user.

usermod -a -G dialout <username>

What does it have to do with SELinux? It's the plain old UNIX permissions.
In the old(ish) times, you had to be in the "uucp" group to accomplish the same.
