Failed to open /dev/ttySO
Hi, I am using smsclient with a normal user. I changed some settings and smsclient works with root and normally also with a normal user but i have troubles with /dev/ttyS0 The user has no rights for ttyS0 ? == Failed to open /dev/ttyS0 How can i change my /dev/ttyS0 so that a regular user can use it ? Thnx! Phil.

Don't change the device; add the user to the dialout group. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Check the permissions. Normally only root and the dialout group have read and write access to /dev/ttyS*. Adding the user to the dialout group can probably solve the problem. best regards Andreas Janssen -- Andreas Janssen [EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP-Key-ID: 0xDC801674 ICQ #17079270 Registered Linux User #267976 http://www.andreas-janssen.de/debian-tipps.html -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
