I have two terminal programs - cutecom and minicom, both built from

it doesn't seem to rectify the problem.  I've also got several linux
ports that hit usb devices via libusb that won't connect without sudo
- obviously, I'd like not to have to run user-type apps with sudo on
my system....

Thanks,

You may want to try chown the device as well as chmod'ing it. If this works you will likely need a script to reset these settings on reboot. You can add a cron job under root to do this @reboot.
