My experience has been that even though you run cu as root, it still thinks that the port is in use because of the file mode. When somthing accesses a serial port, it grabs it for exclusive access by changing the file mode to 0600, when it is done it changes the mode back to 0660. When you start cu, it checks the mode, sees that it is 0600 and therefore thinks another root process is already using it. --- Damien Tougas Systems Administrator Carroll-Net, Inc. http://www.carroll.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
