[Xastir] Re: Serial Port (ttyS0) problem

[Robert Grattan]

I have advanced to another part of the problem.  I can get ttyS0 to come
up but as soon as it receives a broadcast, it gets the packets of but
then goes into error state until I start it again.  Here's what I get
from the term:

Not such a good idea - then Fedora complains that /etc/group and
/etc/gshadow 
don't match which can totally stuff things up. The same thing happens
if you 
manually edit /etc/passwd - the password file and the shadow password
file 
get out of sync which can cause authentication problems.

When using shadow passwords and groups it is always much safer to use
the 
tools provided that keep things properly in sync.

I know - I found out the hard way (by manually editing
/etc/group...<grin>).
