If this works you will likely need a script to reset these settings on reboot. You can add a cron job under root to do this @reboot. -Derek -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
cutecom requires sudo to work, but minicom works without - permissions?
I have two terminal programs - cutecom and minicom, both built from ports with no tweaks. Minicom will fire up and hit the serial port just fine, but cutecom can't open it except with sudo. I tried tweaking devfs.conf (as well as a straight chmod on /dev/cuad0), and it doesn't seem to rectify the problem. I've also got several linux ports that hit usb devices via libusb that won't connect without sudo - obviously, I'd like not to have to run user-type apps with sudo on my system Thanks, Steve ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
