Re: minicom as root

[Almond Wong]

Sorry for miss read your message. I do have no problem for using minicom as root. What is the error messages ? Have you modified the /etc/minicom.users ? How are you invoke minicom. $HOME/.bashrc or from command line ?
From console or on a telnet session ?

The /dev/tty ports are set as follows:

crw-rw----    1 root     uucp       4,  65 Jun 22 17:10 /dev/ttyS1

Still, minicom works using /dev/ttyS0 as a non-root user, but fails to
work as user root.

Is there a pam or some other security mechanism preventing root from
using minicom on /dev/ttyS0?

Thanks ...John
