Under Fedora - the group is also 'dialout'
And, you can 'cheat' - a bit - as root, use a text editor and add your
username to the 'dialout' line of the /etc/groups file.

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>"

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.
