[Serusers] problem with special user for SER running

[Marian Dumitru]

Hi Grigory,

The reply fifo is created by serctl, so the owner/permissions will be 
the one of serctl. SER has to open an write into this fifo - maybe the 
user SER is running as has no permission to operate on the fifo created 
by serctl user.

Most probably you are running SER as user "ser" and serctl as root or 
different user.

Best regards,
Marian
