If you type
ls /dev/tty* and get a large number of files you are not running devfs [devfs is
Device FileSystem maintained by the kernel so only devices that are present get
displayed there. Unfortunatelly, I wasn't able to run it very good :)
So if you change permissions to
chmod a+rw /dev/ttyS0
you get reset back to -rw-rw--- when reboot?
If yes, then it seems that it is one of the init.d scripts that is doing that.
Those are in /etc/init.d
Maybe try:
cd /etc/init.d
grep dev/ttyS *
what do you get? [I get nothing]
