Are the /dev/ttyUSB* devices owned by your userid, or are they owned by root:uucp? If they're not owned by you, then try applying the following patch: --- /etc/security/console.perms.OLD 2003-02-10 15:43:43.000000000 -0500 +++ /etc/security/console.perms 2002-11-11 21:16:56.000000000 -0500 @@ -45,6 +45,7 @@ <gpm>=/dev/gpmctl <dri>=/dev/nvidia* /dev/3dfx* <mainboard>=/dev/apm_bios +<ttyUSB>=/dev/ttyUSB[0-9]* # permission definitions <console> 0660 <floppy> 0660 root.floppy @@ -67,6 +68,7 @@ <console> 0700 <gpm> 0700 root <console> 0600 <mainboard> 0600 root <console> 0600 <rio500> 0600 root +<console> 0600 <ttyUSB> 0660 root.uucp <xconsole> 0600 /dev/console 0600 root.root <xconsole> 0600 <dri> 0600 root I think logging out and back in is sufficient for the changes to take effect, but if the /dev/ttyUSB* devices are still owned by root:uucp when you log back in, then just reboot.
