From: ljacobs@panix.com (Lenny Jacobs) Subject: Can't set line in Kermit, ttys0&1 permissions problem Date: 7 Dec 1992 05:38:26 GMT
I'm using Linux 0.97 p2 and I can't use Kermit from any user other
than root. When I try to set line to ttys0 or ttys1 I get "Can't
open connection: operation not permitted. It seems that although
/dev/ttys2 and /dev/ttys3 are owned by bin, group tty; /dev/ttts0
and /dev/ttys1 are owned by root, group root. Also ttys2 and 3 are
marked read,write by user, group and other but ttys0 and 1 are
marked read, write by user and write only by group and other. The
system won't let me change the permissions to read, write for all
on these devices even though I'm logged in as root. How can
I change these permissions?
