I have two terminal programs - cutecom and minicom, both built from ports with no tweaks. Minicom will fire up and hit the serial port just fine, but cutecom can't open it except with sudo. I tried tweaking devfs.conf (as well as a straight chmod on /dev/cuad0), and it doesn't seem to rectify the problem. I've also got several linux ports that hit usb devices via libusb that won't connect without sudo - obviously, I'd like not to have to run user-type apps with sudo on my system.... Thanks, Steve
