permission problem

[DonTommy]

Hey there.
I got a permission problem, trying to send sms trough gammu and my old cell phone which is connected via usb cable, i can do it trough wammu if I run it as sudo/root

But when I try sending sms trough gammu I get a "Error opening device, you don't have permissions."

so I guess i have to add some permissions some where, but have no clue where? Anybody that knowns what the problem is?

I am using Ubuntu

Thanks

And I have added my user to the group dialout, which I understand is the user for modems, phones etc, but that dosnt do the trick?

What is the name of the device you have in your config file?

Does your user account / group membership give you permission to read+write to it??

ls -l /dev/<device_name>

[DonTommy]

Ahh yes, that did the trick actually, chmod the device to 777 and it worked

So thanks a bunch
