Thanks for the info. That seems to work for the UPS. I'll check on the modem in a bit. I'm not sure when or what changed the group though. I looked at the udevcontrol man page, I didn't see anything in there about restarting or reloading the rules. Surely they have a way to do that. I can't unplug and plug back up the serial port. Anybody else know how to "reset" udev?? Thanks again. Dale :-) :-) :-) :-) -- www.myspace.com/dalek1967 -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
