2008-09-04 18:18:26 Tormod Volden udev: statusexplanation From looking at the forum postings the problem is that the users are running the applications as root. If you run cu as root it will change user to uucp which can not access the root:dialout port. cu is not setuid, so running it with a dialout user should work fine. Please reopen if this does not work in Intrepid.
