Product: minicom
Component: packaging
Summary: non-privilleged users can't run due to perms on
/var/lock
Product: minicom
Version: 2.00.0-2mdk
Platform: PC
OS/Version: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: critical
Priority: P2
Component: packaging
AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
When a non-privilleged user tries to run minicom, it fails with a permissions
error trying to create a lock file in /var/lock. This is because minicom runs
without any elevated privilleges, and non-privilleged users don't have
permissions to create files in /var/lock.
