URGENT: permissions of /dev/ttyS? are constantly getting reset

[Nico De Ranter <nico@sonycom.com>]

Howdy,

I'm installing a little ppp server for a special project. The ppp daemon
needs to be started by a non-root user. I've added the user to the dialout
group however the default permission are:

crw-r-----    1 root     dialout    4,  64 Nov 30 16:23 /dev/ttyS0

in stead of

crw-rw----    1 root     dialout    4,  64 Nov 30 16:23 /dev/ttyS0


I tried chmod but the next time I reboot the permissions are reset to
crw-r----- again.  How can I switch off this behaviour?  Having the user
log in as root is really not an option.

Thanks in advance,

Nico
