Greetings -
I am novice linux administrator for a small office file server and am
installing software for managing my UPS system. The instructions state for
me to set ownership data and permissions on the serial port that is
connected to the UPS hardware. It uses an example of:
chmod 0600 /dev/ttyS1
chown user:group /dev/ttyS1
but also states that serial ports vary greatly and therefore mine may be
called something else. How do I determine what tty my serial port is? I
have a Dell PE 2600 with two serial ports in the back with my UPS plugged
into the #1 port. My OS is RHEL3. Thanks.
