(Ticket 2314 is about this issue specifically. 2297 is more general, but still related.)
Currently the udev-config 55-lfs.rules sets the GROUP of everything in the "comms devices" section to "uucp". Upstream seems to have mostly standardized on Debian's setup, where group "uucp" is used for a UUCP daemon, and group "dialout" is used for devices that users can use (for creating PPP-like connections). I propose changing the GROUP on rfcomm, ippp, isdn, isdnctrl, and dcbri devices to "dialout", to match this convention. (I also propose adding rules/packages/40-isdn.rules, and getting rid of the capi* handling, since we're missing a required SUBSYSTEM match. That will change the group on capi* type devices as well, but that change is only partly related to the GROUP issue.) Any objections? We currently create both "uucp" and "dialout" early in chapter 6, so both groups are there. (This change would get rid of the requirement for "uucp" from the udev side, although it *might* make sense to keep it if the user really wants to install some sort of UUCP daemon (e.g. the one from inetutils might use it). But the user can always add the group on their own when installing uucpd, if needed.)
