Everyone.
Debian has some setting like this for my modem device
crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 4, 64 7. Jan 2002 /dev/ttyS0
I added all necessary users to group "dialout" at least to have them access
our modem.
But when some users start wvdial and the line breaks if maximum idle time is
reached wvdial still seems busy and still gets hold of /dev/ttyS0. After a
user sends Ctrl+C the /dev/ttyS0 looks like this:
crw-r----- 1 root dialout 4, 64 7. Jan 2002 /dev/ttyS0
... and no one can dial in again. I have to change this as root.
What actually does go wrong here? If one would use kppp the problem does
occur.
Regards,
Alex
