Add the user to group uucp.

That should take care of it.

As you can see below only user root and group uucp can access
the serial ports.

crw-rw----    1 root     uucp       4,  64 Aug 30  2002 /dev/ ttyS0
crw-rw----    1 root     uucp       4,  65 Aug 30  2002  /dev/ttyS1
crw-rw----    1 root     uucp       4,  66 Aug 30  2002  /dev/ttyS2
crw-rw----    1 root     uucp       4,  67 Aug 30  2002  /dev/ttyS3
...

Do NOT change the permissions or ownership, or you will create security problems.

Hi all folks,

Lucent modem (winmodem)
=======================

User can't use modem

As ROOT kppp works without problem.  As USER, request for ROOT password
will popup, without ROOT password user is not allowed to run Kppp

I made following test

As ROOT
# cu -l /dev/modem
Connected.
AT
OK
~[localhost].
Disconnected.
#

But it could not work as USER
$ cu -l /dev/modem
Connected.

It hanged here and I was not allowed to type

A temp file was created /var/lock/LCK...Modem to lock the modem

I have been looking for a solution for sometimes without result? Permission for modem, lock, tty, ttyLT0 (symbolic linked), user group,
and other relevant items, etc. have been checked.


Any advice. Thanks in advance.

B.Regards
