37 I found that link when I was googling too. You know, udevstart didn't
38 change the permissions when I ran it. Strange. Anyway, I looked, since
39 I put it back the way it was updated to, it shouldn't change anything,
40 unless they change the group again anyway. I put it back to uucp like
41 they had it. So far so good. My modem works, my UPS is happy, I'm
42 happy too.
