Here is my question. What are the permissions supposed to be? I have it set to root:users right now. It was set to root:uucp which was not working. If someone has a modem and uses dial-up, can you reply with the output of ls -al /dev/ttyS* if you would. If anybody else knows the answer, that would be cool too.
This machine *has* been used for dial-up (but is connected to DSL router now)
$ ls -al /dev/ttyS* crw-rw---- 1 root tty 4, 64 Mar 3 19:42 /dev/ttyS0 crw-rw---- 1 root tty 4, 65 Mar 3 19:42 /dev/ttyS1 crw-rw---- 1 root tty 4, 66 Mar 3 19:42 /dev/ttyS2 crw-rw---- 1 root tty 4, 67 Mar 3 19:42 /dev/ttyS3
Oh, It had been a couple months since I rebooted, anybody know when this happened? How do you get udev to update after changing the rules, other than rebooting that is. :/
No sure on that (maybe look at udevcontrol)... Here's the relevant bit of my 50-udev.rules FWIW (which is default I think):
$ grep ttyS /etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev.rules KERNEL=="ttyS[0-9]*", NAME="%k", SYMLINK="tts/%n", GROUP="tty" -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
