<snip>
 * gnokii does not need its own group anymore.
 * Make sure the user that runs gnokii has read/write access to the device
 * which your phone is connected to. eg. chown <user> /dev/ttyS0
</snip>

Uhm, chown is completely useless on udev-based systems, you'd need a static dev for this to work, plus it can break other stuff that needs access to /dev/ttyS?. Users should just add themselves to uucp group if they use serial connection.
