for what it's worth: i suspected this is restricted by pam's capabilities. so i added a line to /etc/security/group.conf: cu;*;ummelum;Al0000-2400;dialout
and created /etc/pam.d/cu: session optional pam_permit.so i used a login-shell and tried my serial console, but alas... if i try with pkexec, from a login-shell, i get the following in /var/log/auth.log: Dec 1 23:49:02 iugo polkitd(authority=local): Unregistered Authentication Agent for unix-process:914:1133 (system bus name :1.73, object path /org/freedesktop/PolicyKit1/AuthenticationAgent, locale en_US.UTF-8) (disconnected from bus) but, i don't think my pam-configuration is correct. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1094278 Title: cu doesn't connect properly to a serial console To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/uucp/+bug/1094278/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
