Dear friends:
Using Mandrake 7.0.
A simple question about using Minicom as a user.
Here is my version of Minicom:
[sher@adsl-77-232-204 sher]$ rpm -q minicom
minicom-1.82.1-1mdk [sher@adsl-77-232-204 sher]$
I use it with a Robotics 56k external modem.
It works perfectly as root. I then configured it as user with the
command "minicom -s" and saved the file as "dfl" for default. I have
tried to make it work as user by adding in /etc/minicom.users my user
name "sher" (without quotes) and "dfl" (without quotes) to the
configuration as instructed by the documentation in the file.
Still, I can't get it to work as user. But it does work perfectly as
root. So, what could be the problem? I get a permissions error message
as user:
[sher@adsl-77-232-204 sher]$ minicom -c on
minicom: cannot open /dev/ttyS1: Permission denied
[sher@adsl-77-232-204 sher]$
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you all so much.
Benjamin
