Hello, I've recently installed the yaps port and have it sending messages successfully via a modem. However it only works for the root user - not any standard user accounts. Here's the special file for the serial port the modem connects to ... crw-rw---- 1 uucp dialer 28, 129 Feb 19 13:31 /dev/cuaa1 ... and it is this file that yaps refers to for access to the modem. Here's the yaps executable ... -rwx--s--x 1 bin dialer 80212 Feb 18 15:45 /usr/local/bin/yaps So from that any user *should* have access to the serial port via the yaps program. I've tried changing the permission of the serial port file to ... crw-rw-rw- 1 uucp dialer 28, 129 Feb 19 13:31 /dev/cuaa1 ... just as a test but it didn't help. Who can help me out here? Where else does FreeBSD control access to the serial ports? FYI - The error yaps gives a user account is ... Unable to dial Telstra ... and I'm pretty sure the problem isn't an internal yaps permission issue.
