That's great! ... and better than my solution, which was: 1. Create a 'dev' group in /etc/group with this line: dev:x:11:freeswitch 2. Modify the startup script by adding this line before the 'daemon' line: chgrp dev /dev; chmod g+w /dev Now that this patch is in, I can avoid giving the 'freeswitch' user more permissions than it needs. I also modified the start script to make the modem devices work with HylaFax by adding this line after the 'daemon' line: (sleep 120; chgrp uucp /dev/FS*; chmod g+r /dev/FS*) & This allows HylaFAX, which runs in the 'uucp' group, to access the modems. -- Steve
