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.

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@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.
