Message-ID: <rstoferC7ww5u.748@netcom.com> Organization: NETCOM On-line Communication Services (408 241-9760 guest) X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.1 PL8] Date: Mon, 31 May 1993 22:08:18 GMT Lines: 24 I have been able to get com02, tip and my modem all on the same page although my internal Intel 400 didn't work out. I bought an inexpensive US Robotics Sportster 14,400 Fax/Modem and that is working perfectly. My only remaining glitch is with 'rz'. Although I can 'tip' as a non-superuser when I suspend the program to invoke 'rz' I get permission denied unless I first elevate myself to su. crw------- 1 uucp wheel 8, 2 May 31 14:47 /dev/com02 -r-sr-sr-x 1 uucp wheel 99995 May 29 13:31 /usr/bin/tip* -rwsrwsr-x 3 uucp wheel 60853 May 31 11:59 rz* The above ls -lg entries represent the permissions I have given the various components. It seems to me that 'rz' does not attempt to improved its' permissions and will not be capable of grabbing the device. This after perusing the source code. Two things I would like to know: First, can I get 'rz' to work in a non-super user mode and second, it there a public domain better way to deal with ZMODEM than 'tip' and 'rz'. Thanks for any help given!
