Thanks.  You are correct and I am saddled with latent experiences from old.

No, user must be member of dialout group to be able to access serial port
devices:

marco at somewhere:~$ ls -l /dev/ttyS0
crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 4, 64 ott 17 08:28 /dev/ttyS0

I strongly suggest you to use root user only for administrative task.
