Thanks for the hints... however, I am still getting the same errors. I have
tried setting both the user and group owner of wermit to uucp. I played with
the SUID and SGID bits on wermit. I tried changing the owner of /dev/cua1
from root to uucp. But I am still getting:
?Connection on /dev/cua1 is not open.
?Connection on /dev/cua1 is not open.
Trying again
?Connection on /dev/cua1 is not open.
?Connection on /dev/cua1 is not open.
Trying again
Any other ideas??
Thanks!!
Jeremy
