Description of problem: minicom allows the use of a unix socket file by specifying the serial device as "unix#<path to socket file>". This does not currently work due to the changes applied to open_term in main.c by the minicom-2.4-rh.patch. The added code to perform a ttylock on the modem file does not check for the socket prefix, the attempt to lock fails and minicom exits. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): minicom-2.4-1.fc14.i686 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Configure minicom to use a unix socket as the Serial Device setting 2. Attempt to connect Actual results: Exits with status 1, prints to stderr: "Device unix#/home/dshea/modem access failed: No such file or directory." Expected results: Connect to the socket file Additional info:
