use the permission system to aquire permissions ;-) this is: make sure that there is a group that can access the device (either read/writeable or just readable) make sure that your user belongs to this group. like: % chgrp <ttygroup> /dev/rfcomm1 % chmod g+rw /dev/tty % adduser <username> <ttygroup> (you will have to do this as root; and you will have to re-login as user <username>, in order to make the new group membership have an effect) the less sophisticated way is to give everybody the needed rights to access the device. but i don't recommend this (for security reasons) mfga.sdr IOhannes _______________________________________________ PD-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
