Package: ?
Version: ?
I cannot write to any serial ports (ttyS) using user account.
"Permission denied." message is shown.
After changing ownership of ttyS to "user" or changing mode to "777" as
root, I can use serial port normally as "user".
However, after reboot, owner is changed by Debian to root again - automatically,
and I have to repeat above process again.
This automatic ownership change to root doesn't happen in distributions I have
used before, namely Mandrake and Slackware, so I think this issue is Debian specific.
To access serial port, I use Python 2.4.4 and pyserial library.
I don't know how this problem could be corrected.
I am using Debian GNU/Linux 4.0, kernel 2.6.18.4-686.
Machine has Pentium 4 with 256 Mb RAM.
Thank you.
Miroslav

Hi!
You should put your "user" in the group "dialout", and it will work =)
Thanks
