Subject: [gentoo-user] minicom as a user but I am getting a "cant create lockfile" failure

1 I want to use minicom as a user but I am getting a "cant create
2 lockfile" failure. It works fine as root. I dont wish to change the
3 perms on /var/lock unless I have to - so whats the gentoo way to get
4 minicom working as a user? Also what group(s) do I need for serial
5 port access (/dev/ttyS0 so I presume tty, or is it uucp or both/either)
6 once I get past the lockfile problems.
