One thing I found useful -

# /etc/security/console.perms.d/51-custom.perms
# device classes -- these are shell-style globs
<garmin>=/dev/ttyS0

# permission definitions
<console> 0600 <garmin> 0660 root.uucp

-=-
Above file makes it so the device node can be written to by whomever the
console user is (just like sound card).
