Distro - RH 6.0
There are no crontab entries
Don't know what apps check perms
I just set the perms back, but still can't figure out what made it change
in the first place.
Theory: If I was connected to the net (which I was) then I should have had
read and write perms to ttyS0. When I checked - after disconnecting and
restarting the machine - I did not have these rights.
Come to think of it now, the dialer I used (usernet) terminated
abnormally, but there were no lock files lying around.
