Hi, I am using SL 5.4 (2.6.18-164.6.1.el5, x86_64, no i386 at all) and have a problem with using minicom as a standard user. I would appreciate any hel p! I have a user named "usv" which is in two groups - usv and uucp. I instal led minicom and when I first tried running it, minicom asked me to create a default file in /etc by running "minicom -s" as root. I did that and coul d run minicom without any problems as root. However, when I run "minicom -s " as user usv, and try to change serial port settings, I am not allowed to change the serial port setting. I get a message "You are not allowed to change this parameter". I am allowed to change only options E, F and G (baud, parity, number of bits and flow control). I tried searching on internet about this, but could not get any answer. I was wondering if I a m missing any group/permissions etc and would really appreciate any help! Thanks.
