Wvdial permissions
I always end up doing horrible, insecure hacks in order to access the
wvdial stuff, and since I am now using wvdial's "home distribution, I'd
like to do it properly. Here's the current error:
cmayes:~$ wvdial
--> Can't read config file: Permission denied
Here's the config file's permissions:
-rw-r----- 1 root dialout 186 Mar 29 21:54 /etc/wvdial.conf
This means that the dialout group can read it, right? So, I did this to
the dialout line of /etc/group:
dialout:x:20:cmayes:
Is that the right way to do it? It still doesn't work, so aparrently not
;-) As always, your help is very much appreciated. Thanks!
