Permissions with fax modem tty and third party application

English Applications
1

I have moved our third party fax application to OpenSUSE.
All is well except a niggle. Whenever the box is rebooted,
I am required to issue chmod a+rw /dev/ttyS0 and also on ttyS1
or the fax software is unable to access the com ports. Is
there a clicky bit somewhere to make this setting permanent or
a config file?

Thx.

Hi
Add your fax user to the dialout group.
