Re: wvdial pppd prob

[Jason Mesker <jasonm@tool.net>]

Edit /etc/groups and add your user to the dialout group so that it looks like:


dialout:x:20:user

Then make sure you log completely out and log back in and you should have
permissions to the serial devices.  If for some strange reason you don't make
sure the group on /dev/ttyS* is dialout.
