Hi,

In debian members of group dip and dialout and use modem/isdn devices.
Unfortunately it looks like that one need to be root to run ciptool
and make the isdn controler via bluetooth available.

Question: Are there other methods to enable members of group dialout
to use ciptool that making it setuid root? If not is it safe to
install ciptool by default like

=2Drwsr-x--- 1 root dialout 8368 2004-01-26 23:22 /usr/bin/cipt=
ool

So all group member of dialout can run it. All capi devices are
accessible by dialout members:

# l /dev/capi*
crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 68, 0 2004-03-22 14:00 /dev/capi20
crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 68, 1 2004-03-22 14:00 /dev/capi20.00
crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 68, 2 2004-03-22 14:00 /dev/capi20.01

=46rom a look at the usage/source it seem that ciptool really only allows
to 'create'/'release' a capi controlers.
