i have been having that problem without ppp though. on redhat, that
was related to pam and /etc/security, but on debian, this seems not to
influence it. i am using ttyS0 for palm synchronization and robot
control through my own programs and would like it to be 666, but it
keeps changing to 640 and 600 randomly...
