If you are using udev, it will reset them when you reboot. You may also want to check /etc/security/console.perms.d/50-default.perms to see if it is set to manage serial port permissions. If so, it will overwrite the permissions every time the "owner" of the console changes. Mikkel -- Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for thou art crunchy and taste good with Ketchup!
