What you do is to add the user to the group. Check in /dev and get the name of the group for the device. Then edit /etc/group and add the names of the users that can use that device. For instance, if the group name is uucp then modify the group uuscp in /etc/group to look like this:

        uucp:x:14:username1, username2, username3


Thanks, that would be a perfect solution, except the group owner is set to root. What do I need to configure to get it to be some other group?
