I loaded Fedora Core 5 and notice that udev is part of the bootup. I think this is why in this new version, 2 applications called gMFSK and XLog do not work now. They both require excess to /dev/ttyS0 and /dev/dsp and udev is not giving these to it when the user is non-root.

On my system, /dev/dsp is owned by my user by default (user peter, group root); and /dev/ttyS0 is owned by user root, group uucp (R/W for both). You could add yourself to the uucp group to get access to the ttyS0 device node:

# gpasswd -a username uucp

Hope that helps somewhat...
Hi Peter I did make my user name karl a member of uucp but it still can't use /dev/ttyS0 for some reason. Also it complains that /dev/dsp is busy and can't be used. Does that make sense?
