Hi

I´ve the following problem

I´ve an usb modem that is correctly recognized by the OS (Fed5) and works
fine.

However, when the machine reboots and or I need to disconnect the modem,
when reconecting it or after booting, bearbox can not open the connection.
I´ve a permision denied eror. After some debug I found that the kannel
init.d script that came with the fed5 rpm uses the parameter --chuid
kannel:kannel as an argument for starting kannel; however, at boot or when
reconnecting the usb device,  /dev/ttyACM0, the mapped usb device belong to
root; so I have to either run chown kannel before starting kannel in order
to allow bearerbox write to the modem or I´ve to edit the kannel init.d
script and take out the chuid parameter.

My questions are:

1) Is there a problem running kannel as root; other than a security issue?
2) Is there a way to make the device belong or be write enabled to kannel
user/group at the moment the usb device is recognized by the system?


Regards

Alvaro
