What is the safest way to let non-root users access /dev/ttyd0? I notice that in FreeBSD, /dev/ttydx is owned by root:wheel. In linux, the ttySx's are in a special group so the trick there is to add users to that group and make sure the ttyS's are group writable. Here, I want the users to be able to use C-kermit to talk to a remote device without them having to be root. Thank you.
