[chirp_users] CHMOD ...

[W Paul Mills]

While this will work, it is not really the right way to do it. It is 
also temporary. These devices recreate themselves every boot, or every 
time you reinsert a device.


The right way is "sudo adduser user dialout" Substitue your user name 
for "user." On some systems the group may be different.

Example:


wpmills at suzanne1:~$ ls -l /dev/ttyUSB*
crw-rw----+ 1 root dialout 188, 0 Jun  7 18:53 /dev/ttyUSB0
crw-rw----+ 1 root dialout 188, 1 Jun  8 02:49 /dev/ttyUSB1
wpmills at suzanne1:~$

wpmills at suzanne1:~$ sudo adduser wpmills dialout
[sudo] password for wpmills:
The user `wpmills' is already a member of `dialout'.
wpmills at suzanne1:~$
