Suppose user ebruehl of group ebsh logged in to my system by modem.  
After logging out he will leave the modem device owner status changed:

<(dialog>

$ ls -l /dev/{modem,ttyS1}
lrwxrwxrwx   1 uucp	uucp            5 Aug 20 11:58 /dev/modem -> ttyS1
crw-rw----   1 ebruehl  ebsh       4,  65 Jan 23 12:38 /dev/ttyS1
crw-rw----   1 ebruehl  ebsh       4,  65 Jan 23 12:38 /dev/ttyS1

<)dialog>

I want these devices to be accessible to a special group of non-root
users, which is not the same as ebsh.  Now these users can no longer
send faxes, as soon as somebody logged in.
