Efax question - run as normal user

Support & Help Requests

Ever since I have had Efax-gtk, I have had to run it as root.

I saw somewhere that I need to add my name to the “dialout group.”

How do I do that ?

I tried

     sudo usermod -a -G dialout $andy

it should be just andy not $andy. sudo usermod -a -G dialout andy
logout/login and type groups, you should see dialout as one of the groups you belong.

Thanks. Now I don’t have to run Efax as root.
