I ran chmod u+s /dev/modem and chmod g+s /dev/modem (as root) and this is
what I see with ls -la:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 Aug 19 10:05 /dev/modem -> cua2
For /dev/cua2 this is the result:
crwSrwSrw- 1 root uucp 5, 66 Oct 8 14:54 /dev/cua2
Don't know why the /dev/modem link didn't show any change. Perhaps that
because it's a soft link?
BTW, after making these changes I still cannot invoke pppd as a user.
