1 hi !
2
3 being fed up of starting wvdial as root, i found that
4 an ordinary user, though in group dialout, can't use wvdial
5 properly, because of lack of permissions for /var/lock.
6 by default it is root.uucp
7 i changed it to root.dialout,
8 but i assume that's not the best way to solve the problem...
9 any suggestions ?

11 thanks and ciao
