If you type ls /dev/tty* and get a large number of files you are not running devfs [devfs is Device FileSystem maintained by the kernel so only devices that are present get displayed there. Unfortunatelly, I wasn't able to run it very good :) So if you change permissions to chmod a+rw /dev/ttyS0 you get reset back to -rw-rw--- when reboot? If yes, then it seems that it is one of the init.d scripts that is doing that. Those are in /etc/init.d Maybe try: cd /etc/init.d grep dev/ttyS * what do you get? [I get nothing] - Adam
