the one app that i use which needs serial port access, i had to change the 
owner of the port from uucp to my user group.
i don't know if there are any bad implications of this ( i think there are 
otherwise it wouldn't be in its own group), but it solved my problem

on a single user computer such as mine, the value of mutliple users and all 
the permissions is moot anyway.

the only error i got before i did this was a stupid windows app - "unable to 
initialize comport"

so as SU i cd'd into /dev and did chown Username:usergroup ttyS0
(or the port of your choice)

perhaps someone on the list could let me know the better way to do this.
i did try to simply add the uucp group to my supplemental groups, but that 
didn't work.
