List,

> The permissions are different how?

ttyS3 ---> crw------- 1 root tty    4,67
ttyS4 ---> crw-rw---- 1 root uucp   4,68

If I follow your suggestion and chmod them to 660 that is not the same
as the distro settings. Thinking this through if I had connected a modem
to S[0-3] it would not have worked for anyone but root, why would the
distro (RH) do that? I can see why 660 are the required permissions.
