One other thing to keep in mind - chances are the changes will not
stick. 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.
