Hi Mikkel,

thanks again for your very helpful post!

Well, one other thing you could try is to create a file
/etc/udev/device.d/15-isdninfo.rules with a line:

I think, you meant '/etc/udev/rules.d/...' because device.d does not exist on my
Fedora Core 6 system.

KERNEL=="isdninfo", NAME="%k", GROUP="dialout", MODE="0660",
OPTIONS="last_rule"

Anyway, this did not work.

If it does not work,
then chances are something outside of udev is changing the
permissions.

But that comment encouraged my to search the problem outside of udev so I first
looked into the init scripts for isdn and saw some strange MAKEDEV calls
commented by "workaround for kernel/udev".

Long story short, /sbin/MAKEDEV creates all the devices and udev has nothing to
do anything with it.

The file to change was /etc/makedev.d/01linux-2.6.x
- c $ROOT                 45 255  1   1 isdninfo
+ c 0660 root dialout     45 255  1   1 isdninfo

Thanks for your help, your comments were the key to my success - tried to solve
the problem several months ago but failed until now...
