Re: Serial Port Mess Up Causes Crash

[Mitch Silverstein - SE Harrisburg PA <Mitch.Silverstein@East>]

I just went through this the other day, so hopefully this
will save you some debugging.

This is pilotmanager's way of telling you that you don't have permissions
on /dev/tty/[ab]
Follow the symbolic link from your device to the /devices entry
and chmod it to 666.
Someone else had previously suggested the use of logindevperm,
but I'm the only one who uses this machine, so I just opened it up.

Good luck,
Mitch
