I'm using Slackware (10) and my /dev/ttyS0 -> vc/0, is owned by me - which I presumably did a while ago... It is by default owned by root:tty I believe. If you're /dev/ttyS0 has the group 'tty', place yourself in that group. (edit /etc/group and put your name next to the tty group, comma seperated if there already is a name - There's a more simple way using a command, however I've forgotten it). Make sure you logout and in again and group 'groups' to make sure you're in tty. If it's not owned by tty, but another group (apart from 'root') add yourself to that instead, or change (creating if need be) it to tty and do the above. You should probably stick with what your distro uses, however. Now you should be able to use the port - and all the others for that matter.
