Cheryl, There is a configurattion file located in /etc/dosemu that allows you to modify the permisions that you assign to users. My friend was not sure of the filename, but did indicate that was the location. He said that he usually runs it as root anyway, its easier. Hope this helps Keith Watson Sypris Electronics Email: Keith.Watson at sypris.com <mailto:Keith.Watson at sypris.com> Phone: (813) 972-6270 Fax #: (813) 972-6842 -----Original Message----- From: Cheryl Homiak [mailto:chomiak@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, March 21, 2002 12:32 PM To: 'speakup at braille.uwo.ca' Subject: RE: help with dosemu; getting very frustrated Wow! Fantastic hints! This helps with a number of issues. My problem at the moment is that i have gotten the com ports to work, but only as root. I'm not talking about for brltty and speakup, which transition over, but for other uses. I am using debian, and my ttyX are set for root and dialout; since I am a member of dialout this isn't a problem in linux. However, I have tried changing the permissions for these ports with chmod to 666 or even 1777 (something I don't probably want on a regular basis) with no change to my serial port access within dosemu. Any help on this would be appreciated. However, I can use the3 editor and wp5.1 and the floppy drive works, and i am hoping to figure out why megadots isn't working; might possibley be a memory problem or could be something more complex. Thanks for that excellent post!!! _______________________________________________ Speakup mailing list Speakup at braille.uwo.ca http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup
