I think this is just one of them. I may just change it back to uucp and add myself to the group. I'm not sure about how that will affect my UPS that connects to the serial port though. It didn't like the uucp group either. We may be playing ring around the group here. :/ I still haven't tried the others though. I'm trying to give everyone a chance to reply and see what all options there are available. ;-) Thanks for the info. At least mine wasn't the only one that got changed.

Now that you mention it, I think I have to be a member of that group to
be able to fax too.  May give that a try.  May fix two things.

Thanks for the info.


Hmm, this is what I am getting on a x86 build.

# ls -al /dev/ttyS*
crw-rw---- 1 root uucp 4, 64 Mar  3 22:09 /dev/ttyS0
crw-rw---- 1 root uucp 4, 65 Mar  3 22:09 /dev/ttyS1
crw-rw---- 1 root uucp 4, 66 Mar  3 22:09 /dev/ttyS2
crw-rw---- 1 root uucp 4, 67 Mar  3 22:09 /dev/ttyS3

BTW, I am a member of the uucp group, but can't remember if I ever added 
myself to it manually:

uucp:x:14:uucp,michael

There have been a lot of changes lately. I think this is just one of them. I may just change it back to uucp and add myself to the group. I'm not sure about how that will affect my UPS that connects to the serial port though. It didn't like the uucp group either. We may be playing ring around the group here. :/

I still haven't tried the others though. I'm trying to give everyone a chance to reply and see what all options there are available. ;-)
