Now, if you want the user that is logged into the console to be able to use the serial ports, you could probably do something like create a file /etc/security/console.perms.d/10-serial.perms with something like: # Serial port rules. <serial>=/dev/ttyS* <console> 0660 <serial> 0660 root.uucp If you just want to control /dev/ttyS0 then change ttyS* to ttyS0.
I looked at console.perms after seeing a reference to it during my web search. In FC6, anyway, there's no rule for serial ports.
[jcliburn@osprey ~]$ egrep ^[^#] /etc/security/console.perms <console>=tty[0-9][0-9]* vc/[0-9][0-9]* :[0-9]\.[0-9] :[0-9] <xconsole>=:[0-9]\.[0-9] :[0-9] Is there a rule governing serial ports in FC5?
