wvdial stoped working after upgrade to 2.6.31

I upgraded last night from 2.6.30 to 2.6.31 and when I am trying to start wvdial it is reporting:

--> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.60
--> Cannot open /dev/noz0: No such device
--> Cannot open /dev/noz0: No such device
--> Cannot open /dev/noz0: No such device

but:

 ls -ls /dev/noz*
0 crw-rw---- 1 root uucp 251, 0 2009-10-14 10:15 /dev/noz0
0 crw-rw---- 1 root uucp 251, 1 2009-10-14 10:14 /dev/noz1
0 crw-rw---- 1 root uucp 251, 2 2009-10-14 10:14 /dev/noz2
0 crw-rw---- 1 root uucp 251, 3 2009-10-14 10:14 /dev/noz3

Re: wvdial stoped working after upgrade to 2.6.31

probably a permission issue. Use the ol' trick of setting the suid to wvdial and try again.

sudo chmod +s /usr/bin/wvdial

Another approach might be to create (or modify) a udev rule to change the /dev/noz0 to a more convenient group or, even, add yourself to the uucp group.


They say that if you play a Win cd backward you hear satanic messages. That's nothing! 'cause if you play it forwards, it installs windows.

in my case wvdial is started from rc.local, so what user that would be?
