I installed a 2.4.0 kernel with USB support last evening, and it seems to be working fine so far. However, after getting things set-up it was apparent that Joe User did not have rights to read & write the /dev/ttyUSBx devices. The /dev/ttyUSBx devices are all owned by root, and the group tty. To give Joe User access to the USB, I made him a member of group tty which worked fine. Also, chmod 766 /dev/ttyUSB* gave the same results, but obviously I did not have to add Joe User to group tty... So which is the correct way to do this? Should I be making random users members of group tty as needed, or should I just chmod the /dev/ttyUSBx to allow any user permission at any time? Is there any inherent risk to stability or security making random users members of group tty? IS there a risk by opening up the permissions to the /dev/ttyUSBx ? Thanks, Bill. PS Boy was I surprised to find the Handspring Visor driver built right in to 2.4.0, but still no ppSCSI drivers for things like the Trantor T-348 etc... Thought that ppSCSI was merged with the development source? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: tclug-list-unsubscribe at mn-linux.org For additional commands, e-mail: tclug-list-help at mn-linux.org
