I'm trying to get an e-mail->alpha-pager thing working. Everything is working except the fact that I don't have permissions to use /dev/ttyS1
When I send a page as root, the page goes out fine. When I send mail to, say, jdoe, I have /usr/bin/filter pick it up and execute the pager script, and it fails claiming it doesn't have permission. So, I added jdoe to the uucp group (which is the group owner of the ttyS's). Now, when I su to jdoe and send a page, the page goes through. When I send e-mail to jdoe, it still fails with a permission thing. I'm suspecting that it's some sort of GID vs. EGID thing. Perhaps, when I "su jdoe", I'm keeping some of my root permissions... or, when filter runs, it's keeping some of it's permissions from "mail" or something. Ideas? -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
