I have an application which uses the serial port. It works fine when run by root but if run by any other user it complains about the port being "in use". The permissions of the device in question are: crw-rw---- 1 uucp dialer 28, 129 Aug 22 10:13 /dev/cuaa1 Adding the non-root user to the "dialer" group (by editing /etc/group) did not help. What do I need to do to make the serial port available to an application run by a non-root user? Please be kind enough to CC your replies to me since I am not a list subscriber.
