When I try to dialout using C-Kermit under solaris 2.4, as a regular
user, I get an error message telling me I don't have permission to
access the dialout device /dev/cu/a. When I do a % ls -la /dev/cu/a
it indicates root ownership, and everyone has rwx permissions turned on.
If I login as superuser from my user account, I CAN dialout.
Also, as a regular user, I can dialout using tip.
What I cannot figure out is how I can dialout using tip, but cannot using
kermit (unless I've left the login shell and gone into su), knowing that
both applications use the same device identifier.
Please respond to:
