I forgot about those serial devices completely because I was focused on the ttyd* devices. The cuaa devices at least in FreeBSD4.11 are owned by uucp but are in a group called dialer and have a mode of 660 already set meaning I don't have to do anything but put those who would use them in the dialer group. Problem solved! Again, thanks to everyone who responded. Martin McCormick WB5AGZ Stillwater, OK OSU Information Technology Division Network Operations Group
