i use my phone as modem everything works but only in root that is if i wanna connect to my phone i gotta be root i have tried rfcomm bind /dev/rfcomm0 as normall user but get error operation not permitted is there any way i can change these permissions so i can connect without being root

[devils casper]

set 'special' UID of /usr/bin/rfcomm file.

sudo chmod +s /usr/bin/rfcomm

now a normal user will have permission to ser rfcomm devices.

I tried wat you said now i'm able to rfcomm bind but now i hav got another problem when i try rfcomm connect /dev/rfcomo0 (myphonesid) i get this error CANT CREATE RFCOMM TTY ADDRESS ALREADY IN USE i tried rfcomm release all but still no luck c

type 'rfcomm' in terminal. check if its really in use or not. after that try 'rfcomm release all' again.

I managed to sort it out Thanx when i use the rfcomm bind then i cant use rfcomm connect so i simply released all and i now just use the rfcomm connect my problem now comes to kppp i've set uid on it but i cant query modem i just get unable to open modem but if i launch kppp from root i it works i know i could just use it from root but then konqueror and firefox will need to be launched from root

in that case, add normal user in root and dialout groups. you can do this through user and group management in YAST. i am not in SuSe box, so can't tell you which other groups you need for that.

you can add groups through command line too...

adduser <user_name> dialout root

I've been to yast and cant figure out wat to tick under users user data my name is there
Details there is long list of boxes i ticked the one written dial out and modem
Under groups there is no option for dial out i tried the command you gave me and i get bash: adduser : command not found

you must be root to execute 'adduser' command.
