Re: Serial Port Mess Up Causes Crash

[John Simmons <John.Simmons@Eng>]

This is because admintool will change ownership and permission on a device, but 
does not have a way to change it back (call it a feature ;-)).  Assuming that 
you have the same problem:

Here is what you need to do (at least one way to do it):

When the Serial Port Permissions don't allow access to PI_BIND (assume 
/dev/ttyb):

Run commands as root:

1. chmod 666 /dev/ttyb
2. chown root /dev/ttyb
3. chgrp sys /dev/ttyb
4. touch /reconfigure
5. reboot

This is to correct a change which can be made by "admintool" to change the 
permissions, and to set ownder and group to "uucp" and "tty".
