start ser with:
# /usr/local/sbin/ser

attached is my startup script for ser. copy it into the /etc/init.d
directory. start ser using
/etc/init.d/ser start
stop ser using
/etc/init.d/ser stop

btw: there are problems with redhat, which I couldn't solve. ser does
not start up automatically if the system boots up. It works fine with me
on debian and suse, but not on redhat.

no way, the rpms are pretty old. use cvs (and remove all ser rpms)
