Ok, when I tried connecting with WVDial today as user I got the message:
cannot open /dev/modem: Permission denied cannot open /dev/modem: Permission denied cannot open /dev/modem: Permission denied
The modem works fine and I can connect as root, but not as the user. This has worked fine in the past, why it changed suddenly I don't know.
I thought about file permissions first off, so I did some checking on the obviously relevant files.
/dev/modem lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root modem->/dev/ttyS2 /dev/ttyS2 crw-r----- 1 root dialout
I am a member of the dialout group.
As I said, the hardware if fine. I'm using it now. Suggestions please?
Since you'll be sending commands to the modem, you'll need write access to the modem device.
enjae[westk]:/home/westk> ls -l /dev/ttyS2 crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 4, 66 May 12 2001 /dev/ttyS2
