[SLUG] Changing default ownership of /dev device in Ubuntu Hardy

2008-10-09 Thread Erik de Castro Lopo
Hi all,

I currenty have a device with the following permissions and ownership:

crw-rw 1 root dialout 4, 64 Oct 10 11:05 /dev/ttyS0

Where and how do I fiddle to changes this so it sticks across reboots?

TIA,
Erik

The short answer is udev (or at least that is the approach I have taken in the 
past). There are some good pointers here:

Here we go:

A file in /etc/udev/rules.d/ containing:

SUBSYSTEM==tty, KERNEL==ttyS0, OWNER=lp, GROUP=lp
