Not necessarily. In Debian, the serial ports use the group "dialout" (I recall UUCP was used in the distant past). Also, /etc/profile is a script to create the default ~/.profile files.
Adding a user to the appropriate group is the correct way to do this (using the adduser command as root): The syntax is "adduser <user> <group>" 73, Bob N7XY On Mar 13, 2011, at 9:22 AM, Gerald Hurt wrote: > Under Linux (I believe all flavors) add the group UUCP to your user profile > in /etc/profile and you will be given access to all serial ports without > having to change permissions or bypass Linux security. > Jay > 73 de N0XVB > _______________________________________________ > Xastir mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.xastir.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xastir _______________________________________________ Xastir mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xastir.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xastir
