What is the correct syntax for Minicom?

English Applications
#1

This doesn’t work “adduser bperrotta dialout”

I’m getting this If ‘adduser’ is not a typo you can use command-not-found to lookup the package that contains it, like this:
cnf adduser

Need help because I want tyo use linux to dial into routers instead of Windows

:stuck_out_tongue:

groupmod -A bperrotta dialout

Thanks you da man

Hi
Assuming the user is present on the system it’s usermod;


sudo /usr/sbin/usermod -G dialout bperrotta

Or just vigr and edit the /etc/group file directly. All this assumes of course that the serial devices and lock files are group owned by dialout and have the right group permissions.

#6

Ah, no you want to be careful with that. It will remove the user from all groups not mentioned in the usermod command.

Hi,

If dialout is a group you want to add a user to, try YaST->‘User and
Group Management’
