Re: [hylafax-users] /dev/ttyG* permissions and ownerships

[Jeff DeFord <jeff.deford@xxxxxxxxx>]

Perms and ownserships revert back to root:root 644 upon reboot (i.e. a
simple chown/chmod will not remain after a reboot). Hence my
problem...
The symlinks maintain ownerships and permissions (b/c they are
symlinks, not device files), however the permissions are maintained on
the target, not the symlink.

Ideas?  I tried writing a script to run at startup to no avail...
