No answer to that, however i would educate a guess and say all you
needed to do was use another console to kill the process of "mc", i
cant imagen why a program or process would lock up you machine
simply by changing permissions on a file.
Anyway why not use 'chmod' 'chown' 'chgrp' like all linux users do.
man chmod/chgrp/chown might help you, or tell us just what you want
to do and maybe we can help. Simply saying you want to modify
permissions is not enougt, there are so many possabilities.
1) chown user.user :Where user is your login account.
2) chmod +u :allows users to operate that device, but why on
/dev/ttyS1 thats comm2 on a dos system, are we talking PPP
permissions here.???
