Serial Ports as non-root user

Serial Ports as non-root user

Hello,

I'm trying to run a program in dosemu, but I'd rather not run it as
root.  I've given the user permission to access the serial port
(/dev/ttyS0), and stuck the user in the "lock" group, and given him
write access to the lock directory.  When I start up dosemu, the log
says that the executable must be run by root or be setuid in order to
create lock files.

I cannot run it setuid, due to the dosemu script which disallows this.

dosemu 1.2.0.1

any help would be appreciated.
