before connect:
<vulcan> schaefer:/usr/users/schaefer> ls -la /dev/ttyS2
crw-rw----   1 uucp     modem      4,  67 Jun 21 14:21 /dev/ttyS2

after connect (login prompt):
<vulcan> schaefer:/usr/users/schaefer> ls -la /dev/ttyS2
crw-------   1 uucp     modem      4,  67 Jun 21 14:21 /dev/ttyS2
[ well, this is kind of a problem. Maybe I will set it to root one day ]

I did not check when PPP is detected, maybe the permissions are not
changed.

Or simply, when wall runs at root it simply bypasses the permission
(ie no manual checking).
