Something, it seems that efax is the culprit, keeps changing the
permissions on /dev/ttyS1. The following illustrates the problem (alias
l="ls -la --color=tty"):
-----------------------------------------
$groups
jhspies adm mail news dialout fax floppy audio dip cdskrywers
jhspies-22:45:24-~$l /dev/ttyS1
crw-rw-rw- 1 root dialout 4, 65 Jan 6 22:44 /dev/ttyS1
jhspies-22:45:34-~$fax
efax: Thu Jan 6 22:45:43 2000 efax v 0.9 Copyright 1999 Ed Casas
efax: 45:43 Warning: local ID (0331-461310) has non-standard characters
efax: 45:43 removed stale lock /var/lock/LCK..ttyS1 from pid 448
efax: 45:43 Error: can't open serial port /dev/ttyS1: Permission denied
efax: 45:43 done, returning 2 (unrecoverable error)
There were errors (see 0106224543.log).
jhspies-22:45:43-~$l /dev/ttyS1
crw-r--r-- 1 root dialout 4, 65 Jan 6 22:44 /dev/ttyS1
-------------------------------------------------------
How can I correct that? I do not want to use chmod every day on the same
device.
I would appreciate some help please.
