As su, chmod 777 /dev/ttyS0 fixes it, but only until it happens again. ttyS0 appears to be owned by root. It seems to me maybe it should be owned something/someone else to fix this permissions problem but I don't have a clue who. Can anyone put me right on this please?
Check the group as well - On my Debian box it is dialout.. Then add yourself to that group (in /etc/group) and you should be OK after logging out/in.
The other alternative (if you are running udev) is to dive in to the udev rules and make the change there..
