well, it seems that the second commit did not survive (at least in master branch)... I noticed the "tty" group on OpenWrt but on my desktop system, it has slightly different meaning, see https://wiki.debian.org/SystemGroups So I guessed the meaning is the same on OpenWrt, thus the proposal to add "dialout" as well. You are right, that we don't need a second group to the same purpose. However, then I'd propose to rename the group "tty" to "dialout" to prevent other users to do the same mistake like me, i.e. confuse both groups due to mixing knowledge from other distros. Michael
