Because it's a security risk. You generally don't WANT to allow any user on
the machine to be able to access the ser_fifo and send commands directly. That
should be limited to root and/or particular groups you have set up for that
specific purpose.

That worked. Thanks.
I am not sure why this (fifo_mode=0777) wasn't inserted in either the
ser.cfg or ser.cfg.sample files.

Subject: Re: [Serusers] What does SER/FIFO error usually mean?
Permissions problem I'm guessing. Do you have the following in your
config file?
fifo="/tmp/ser_fifo" # named pipe needed by serctl
fifo_mode = 0777

Hello all,
I am trying to add a user to my MySql database with the command:
serctl add joeuser passwd joeuser(a)here.com <mailto:joeuser@here.com>
but I am getting an error:
error: SER/FIFO not accessible: 2
Any pointers to where to start debuging this error?
Thanks.
