Execute the following commands as root: cd /dev mknod tty01 c 8 1 chown uucp.dialer tty01 chmod 660 tty01 ln -s tty01 com1 While you're at it, to fix a few bugs NetBSD has with /var/log/aculog, edit the /var/log/aculog line of /etc/newsyslog.conf so that the owner.group field is "uucp.dialer", and then do the following as root: cd /var/log touch aculog chown uucp.dialer aculog chmod 640 aculog Note that these changes also let anyone in the "dialer" group access the modem as well as root. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Email: Mark_Weaver@brown.edu | Box 2160, Brown University | Providence, RI 02912-2160 -- -------------------------------------------------------------------- Email: Mark_Weaver@brown.edu | Box 2160, Brown University | Providence, RI 02912-2160
