Hello,

A user needs to connect to external equipment using tip and a serial port.

I created an /etc/remote file:
snake:br=9600:dv=/dev/tty01:hf:nb:pa=none

The group associated with /dev/tty01 was changed from dialer to one that includes the user:
$ls -l /dev/tty01
crw-rw---- 1 uucp wheel  8,  1 Feb  7  09:38 /dev/tty01

Root can use tip and connect ok but if the user tries it:

$tip snake
/var/spool/lock/LCK...tty01:  No such file or directory
Can't open lock file.
all ports busy

I assume the user doesn't have permission to write to /var/spool/lock and having root give the user rw permission on the port is probably not the correct way to handle this.

How can I fix this problem?
