           Product: minicom
         Component: packaging
           Summary: non-privilleged users can't run due to perms on
                    /var/lock
           Product: minicom
           Version: 2.00.0-2mdk
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: critical
          Priority: P2
         Component: packaging
        AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


When a non-privilleged user tries to run minicom, it fails with a permissions
error trying to create a lock file in /var/lock.  This is because minicom runs
without any elevated privilleges, and non-privilleged users don't have
permissions to create files in /var/lock.
