Hi Renaud,

I have a problem, in that whenever I want to use the USB Serial port at
/dev/ttyUSB0 I have to log in as root.

I wonder if the way to solve this is by adding a rule
/dev/ttyUSB0 root root 777 in Mcc > Security > Settings > Permissions or is
there another way ?

I have tried to change the permissions in /dev but they always revert to 660
after a time.

The devices in /dev/ are recreated with each boot. This explains why they loose the permissions. udevd is responsible for creating them at boot time, following some rules. You need to modify those rules. If I remember correctly, they are located in /etc/udev/rules.d/.

HTH,
Alejandro.

 

Cheers,

Ron.
