LinuxQuestions.org - udev and minicom

I am working with slackware-current. After upgrade udev-096 minicom did not work nor as root or as user:

Code:

/dev/modem: no such device

Start minicom as root:

Code:

# minicom -s

and change serial port setup -> Serial device to /dev/ttyS0 (or whereever your serial line is connected). Now minicom works as root.

Minicom as user:

Execute the following command as root:

Code:

# chgrp uucp /dev/ttyS0

For permanent fix append in /etc/rc.d/rc.local the following line:

Code:

/usr/bin/chgrp uucp /dev/ttyS0

The user "me" must be menber of uucp: /etc/group

Code:

uucp::14:uucp,me

Have fun :)
